frodnonnag posted:AF upgrades require 5 pages for +1s, and 10 for NQs. They come only from 20 kindred seal fights using only the new seals, which only drop in SOA zones. There's 5 difficulty choices, and the droprate for them are 1,1,2,3,4 for those difficulties. You can't trade lesser seals to get these new ones, and can only farm 'em. So there's a bit of a grind. Victory Smite using Oatixur is really good. If you want to do a WoE weapon, you can now pull one out of the magian chest that will skip all the NM's and VNM's. If you actually go through the hunt, the amount of seals/coins/dice you need is reduced. Also, I think this dumb game has managed to pull me back in. Why can't I ever quit you, FFXI? Get back into FFXI goons and get loaded up with SoA gear and we can do a lot of stuff LiquidFriend fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Nov 5, 2013 |

Does the chest weapon with all NMs complete work for Empys? When I left I had all the Almace items, but wasn't done the NMs. As useless as it is now it would be nice to get for completion sake if I do come back.

Its a new weapon that basically puts you through the woe content, so that you can unlock the weaponskill, its not a fullblown empy weapon. They did however reduce the requirements for doing a full empy weapon, so whatever you have now is a little easier.

Wolfevangelist is doing shouts for WKRs pretty much 24/7 right now. I've been home sick for the last couple days and managed to get the new axe, polearm, sword and knuckles as well as a bunch of mantles and other junk. If you still need any KIs now is the perfect time to get them.

LiquidFriend posted:From what I've heard, they've drastically lowered the repop times for the NMs. They have also drastically lowered the bayld for the wkr temp ki to around 15k per wkr. Very nice. It use to be around 30k per wkr temp ki.

How hilariously overpowered are those new weapons compared to any of the pre-SoA content? On one hand I want to resub and pick some of them up so I can farm up and kill a bunch of stuff I struggled against in the past, but then I'm not sure it'd even be worth doing anymore since the new gear is so out of control.

Yeah I'm looking at some of the new weapons and it seems like you could just completely wreck Abyssea NMs and make any emperyan you want over the span of a weekend. Might be worth it to finally make an ochain, but I don't know if I'd actually get any use out of them.

They changed Coin weapons somewhat wherein there's a path that doesn't require NM killing, haven't heard anything about Ochain (or other R/M/Es).

LiquidFriend posted:Depends on the job. Magian weapons really aren't viable anymore (although good to do quite a few of them to unlock emp Weaponskills). Pretty much this. Without a huge time investment you could farm up some bayld, get outfitted in bayld gear then hit up wildskeeper reives. Fight stuff for a few minutes, then go watch tv or whatever. When you come back you might have an ilvl 115 weapon. Congrats, you are now geared well enough to participate in most content.

Hey, did you guys hear the latest news about FFXIV? Hackers/gilsellers apparently discovered that they can send querys to the market(auction house) pretending to be you, if they can just get your ID. Which it is assumed they are currently getting by targeting you and selecting trade (they get the ID regardless of you clicking accept or not I guess). And then they just ask the game to buy single bone chips for millions of gil, on your behalf. Cue emergency maintenance that has been going for 2 hours now, and considering what a huge security hole this is, I have no idea when the game will be back up.

We had what for memorable hack experiences, the ctd bug with chat, pulling poo poo from people's bazaars, the salvage dupe bans, and the continued and prolific use of the heinous cupper/clipper? It seems the one thing SE adamantly refuses to learn is security.

My favorite was hearing about the memory tampering hack where you were able to literally fish up Royal Beds from the sea in Port Jeuno every time you cast your line, and sell them to the duty-free NPC vendors for an enormous amount.

Kudos to the brave goons who defeated Yumcax tonight! It was a tough battle, but I like to think the key to victory was us killing a bunch of trash mobs, dying a lot and generally loving around. Shield me with your tiny bodies. Jewy getting the hell out of dodge.

Trip Reports If you're on the fence about coming back because you'll be behind, right now is a pretty good time to come back. I got the original 5 wildkeeper reive clears on MH in one night and it isn't difficult to get caught up on skirmish. People still do fracture too, but you don't need fracture gear to be well geared.

What's it like getting back into FFXI if you didn't have that much to begin with? My highest job was 60-something SAM with some nice gear and I... I miss playing it. Because of stockholm syndrome, mostly, I know I didn't enjoy farming for three weeks at level 30 to get o.kote. I did find my old POL ID and the two cd-keys I got, so I don't think reactivating would be a huge hassle.

Over the years they increased exp gains, added book burning for exp, and added all sorts of ways to get gear easier, including a change to nm spawn mechanics and droprates this update. Gear is almost entirely irrelevant until 70 when you do maat, and 95 when you do the final fight to uncap. Hell i saw a 60s whm participating in the wkrs for gear and exp.

Skirmish and WKR are two ways you can easily get geared. Skirmish requires three pieces as the pop set. WKR just requires you to buy a temporary KI for bayld. WKR and Skirmish guarantees you at least one piece of gear if you complete the main objective. For WKR that is killing the boss, for Skirmish that is killing a certain number of mobs/nms. This site is really good for all sorts of info. http://wiki.bluegartr.com/bg/Main_Page

I'm mostly interested in exploring the world I never got to see fully. I'm sure if I came back I'd start raiding, but first I'd go to the jungles and kill some gobs. Is there a goon population on some server that would take me under its wing so I don't feel all alone playing it?
