Good: Callbacks to early MSQ mentions.

Better: An FF5 reference.

Best: If Galuf is also in Eorzea, this means he's a grizzled grandpa lalafell. :sax:

Having 35 STR allotted and zero VIT on your jewelry, ignoring race and food bonuses...

This is, however, accounting for party bonus (+3% VIT)

Item level 190 PLD: 13683 HP
Item level 200 PLD: 15010 HP
Item level 210 PLD: 16096 HP

Thank you. My raid group and I were getting confused about how much health I was supposed to be having at 193. They were expecting way more health out of me than I actually had because I was full Strength.

Did Square announce anything in the past month or two about new wards? I read about player plots being liberated after a period of inactivity, but have they mentioned anything about adding more houses? I remember reading a few months ago about some internal server restructuring that should make that kind of stuff easier to do.

They haven't said anything directly about it, but there's going to be an extra-long "infrastructure maintenance" downtime in preparation for 3.1 so maybe they're sneaking some more wards in there

I'm talking legend of zelda 1 Oot TP WW. several fights had a dps check.

fitrst dungeon boss on Ocarina was a dps check because if you didn't keep her stuned and using hard thrusts she could easily kill you be dropping her babies. Trick was to keep her stunned with deku seeds and hack at her eye.

ocarina water temple boss was a dps check if you didn't consistently pull out the membrain it would just keep tossing you into the spikes. trick to this was to pull it far into the floor area and using spin attacks and strong slaches.

zelda 1 fire dungeon boss (dungeon 3) not using bombs will kill you, the boss will enrage if u take to long and spew its power attacks to fill the room making it hard to near impossible to dodge.

Oot ganondorf fight you had limited time where he was weaken by the light arrows, this caused the floor to drop more often if you missed causing the fight to be unbeatable due to only having the courner work with and link can't really jump over that far before he unweakens.

ff11 diabolos fight dps check longer the fight progressed the more floor droped the more often he uses nightmare faster party dies had to stun him and dps him down fast.

ff11 shadow lord fight second phase dps check, he becomes immune to physical dps and had to be burn downfast due to spaming a room wide aoe that could kill the party.

ff11 cop first dungeon minitour fight. had to dps him down before he spam doom which u had to spam drink holy water to recover because u know rng.

ff11 just abount every hnm had an enrage timer added due to spawm holding.

ffx sin had to kill him before he hit overdrive which unless u had the negation u was hosed.

ffx yu yevon more sumons u had the longer the fight, had to dps him down so not to run outa curatives.

dragons dogma: death in bitter black isle had to dps him down before he used his death skill which killed everyone.

infact dragons dogma had alot of dps checked fights that if u didn't dmg them fast enoyght they will enrage and kill u.

dps check: needing to kill a mob/boss in a set amount of time befoe they enrage and kill you.

I knew this before mmo excisted. Most ff end bosses are a dps check. Hell even mario had a few dps check fights with bowser more so in the 3d mario.

Yes, this fight that is literally (almost) impossible to lose is a classic example of a dps check.

The person who arrives last is fined, regardless of whether that person's late or not.
Some other cool poo poo I'm finding in these notes:

Tomestones of Law can now be traded for red scrip crafting components. You need 1,800 of them though so no more complaining about them being useless :haw: Red crafting scripts will give more of these too when you do it that way, and is still the only way to get them HQ.

I think we're getting a Haurchefant portrait, called "A Knight to Remember", 800 law tomes.

Seems there was a change to make it harder for players to accidentally end up in empty duties when joining duties in progress, if more players leave the "Search for new members" function stops again?

We can get the upgrades to the poetics gear with poetics now, and everything seems to be cheaper.

Upon completing a duty using the Undersized Party option, the log will now display how much time has elapsed since the duty commenced. <-- I'd like to see that for more duties as well, although I can see why they wouldn't do it for duty finder duties possibly.

The HP for A rank elite marks in 3.0 areas has been increased. <-- good foresight!

The potency and recast times for the following medicines have been adjusted: <--- then it lists nothing? :confused: Either another typo or something we're not supposed to know until patch night. Maybe the return of triple flares!

The really cool custom-made low level equipment can be purchased from the calamity salvager

Rare dyes that were obtained from quick exploration have been made tradable. Old ones won't be made tradable though, apparently now ventures will give a new type of tradable dye of the same colors.

The color of the display for non-targetable objects has been adjusted for the party list, focus target bar, and the enemy list. You can easily tell whether someone is in range of healing or not!

The quality of life changes blow me away consistently with each major patch.
