Did they fix ninja yet, or are they still useless as a tank in seekers?

Dragoon's new JA is rather lovely. I think I got like 4 extra jumps in with it. :(

WKRs are a lot more fun now that you can just zerg them. Not Yumcax though, he's still a pain in the dick. Seems like they upped the drop rate by a lot which is awesome.

Even the new +1 bayld gear is pretty nice for something so easily attainable. Overall I am really happy with this update. Curious to see how hard the AF+1 bcnms are and how long it will take to upgrade a piece of gear.

You can actually get them from heroes abyssea zones too.

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 :)

That's really cool. If you make a WoE weapon can you use it to unlock the WS for other weapons, or does that only work for empys?

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.

Depends on the job. Magian weapons really aren't viable anymore (although good to do quite a few of them to unlock emp Weaponskills).

The top weapons that aren't a super grind to get would come from Wildkeeper Reives and fracture.

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.

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.

I've said it before, but I love how casual this game has gotten. It's great being able to play for a couple hours a night and always feel like you've accomplished something. I won't miss the days of spending hours doing sky every night to some day have a shot at getting one piece of gear. Anyone who says the game was better back then is a massive sperg and they can go to hell. :colbert:

If they're looking into more quality of life adjustments, I'd really like to see them adjust weakness. After a raise it should be 2 mins tops, with maybe slightly less of a penalty. Double weakness is bullshit as well. It's a huge pain in the rear end for stuff like WKRs to be constantly dying to AOE only to have to wait 5 mins before you can be effective again.

In regards to skilling up, I know the general strategy was always to target mobs 10ish levels above the current skill level. Is that because there's some kind of penalty for fighting mobs above that range, or is it just because normally you wouldn't have enough acc to hit them? With the new ilvl weapons, should I stick to the 10 lvl rule or just whack away at harder mobs as long as my acc stays capped?

Cool, thanks for the advice guys. Weirdly, I've been having a hard time getting aby parties lately. For now my solution has been to park my rear end on the beach in ceizac with kupipi out. I can fight one urganite for like 15 min and the only tp move they use is poison, which she removes instantly.

Rolling with Kupipi(whm), Mihli(whm) and Joachim(brd) is pretty awesome for skilling up and doing reives. I wish joachim would give double marches, or at least minuet but he only seems to ever give me madrigal/march or paeons if hp is low.

Hit up Walk of Echoes if you need gil before the daily login thing overflows the market. The money is good, it's easy to do and you can run it an unlimited amount of times.

It's also a lot more forgiving of an event if you're not experienced with soloing.

Are there are a few that are better for money drops than others? I've been doing a couple that are supposed to drop pouches according to wiki, but all I ever seem to get is crap and 1 or 2 coins of whatever.

WoE suffers from Voidwatch Drop Syndrome where you're going to get ~5k in NPCables from most clears and while it's OK solo, especially if you have a job that can do Hydra -> Amph -> Harpy on an infinite loop it's a much better choice for people who can bring 2-3+ characters and get multiple chests rewards from each clear.

But yeah now that people are getting the bigger login point amounts coin/die/residue prices are going to come down pretty hard.

Ah that makes sense. DNC/RUN is pretty great for it, with FD up and the appropriate runes you can pretty much sleep through the fights.

New update is looking good so far. Pets will be made more effective. Pet updates are always welcome. I thought it would be cool if they gave bst an ability or trait like recycle/infinite shot to allow them to use a jug without consuming it occasionally. That way you'd have an incentive to bust out some of the more exotic jugs once in a while.

The prices of die and liminal residue don't seem to be dropping much. :( I have to guess that costing 1 and 2k points respectively, there are other things to buy that will yield better returns. Not getting many in WoE either, I might have to buckle down and farm dyna coins for a while instead.
