To get the gil saving box you go to the mog garden and exchange 5 GPS stars for it. (each time you log into the garden you get another star.)

i just did 3 in the ravine for a total of 1k between all 3. that's not right. the guaranteed xp/bayld at the end is not there anymore
That's strange. I got an evaluation about 5 seconds before the end of the reive for 524 bayld, and then as soon as the reive ended I got 768 bayld.
I had noticed that the battles were much quicker, and I got less of a reward. Some, I did not get anything at all, some I got 2k for, drops sucked either way. Also, at least in the battlegrounds, they were random which kinda sucked. I liked going full attack for 4 fights then having a break till the next round. Last night, I never knew where the next one was going to take place, I had to wait in the middle and use hermes sandals to haul butt.

Do you accrue interest from having Gil in the box?

That would be nice.
I think i only put 2k in there for now just for the heck of it. The rest i kept on me to see if anyone was selling Ordelle Bronze for a decent price.

Has anyone noticed that with this update and the change in stats that the stats are spilling outside their boxes?
For example, you would look at Bokwus Boots, this is what shows:
Also, what's the consensus on Colonization and Lair Reives?
Friend in-game tells me SE nerfed them badly. A few posts here say they've increased EXP/Bayld a lot. A few other posts say they messed it up. Which is true? Look at mani boots, you cant even see the Rank of them anymore because its so stat packed.

I don't have a link, but I read on BG that it's just to use to hold your gil so you don't accidentally bid 100mil on a rabbit hide. There are no prizes or interest associated with it contrary to what they initially implied.

It's basically a virtual mattress to stuff your gil under.

Seems the new system can easily shut peeps out again if a zerg fest occurs.
It was a zerg fest if you ask me. There were about 12 people present. I just went to town as per norm by busting out WS and Efflux Heavy Strikes.
Seems like they went back to how they were originally when SoA first came out, but not as profitable. I remember getting 3k or so a reive when SoA first came out, then it got mega-gimped, and now it's back to a good spot. Me gusta.

Will go with the no participation and see what happens next...
Edit: I died somewhere at the beginning, got 300/300 when raised.

I was so excited at the possibility of Evan gaining a little bit if Gil interest in the chest over time, it would have been such a great idea. Way to add more pointless ***SE.

| |  | An Announcement Regarding the Next Version Update |
In the version update scheduled for August 6 2013, we will be adding new Seekers of Adoulin missions, introducing the brand-new Monstrosity system, and, at long last, rune fencers and geomancers will be able to obtain their artifact equipment. Additionally, we will be making various adjustments to stats for equipment with item levels, colonization and lair reives, and much more.
Previously, we announced that the August version update would include new skirmishes and that additional adjustments would be made to certain coalition assignments so that bonuses would be granted depending on the distance to the objective. However, these elements will be introduced in an additional version update once they have undergone further testing.
The additional version update will be implemented in late August.
An announcement will be made regarding the details for the additional version update at a later time. We apologize for the delay and will continue to work hard so this content meets its new release date. |

(*) Will not be in this update as it is still in testing
(#) Will only be partially implemented in the version update.

| | Matsui: August Version Update
Hello, it's Matsui.
Sorry to have kept you waiting. The purpose of this post is to provide information about the August version update.
The August version update is scheduled for Tuesday, August 6.
In this update, we will be implementing the next portion of the "Seekers of Adoulin" missions, Monstrosity, Rune Fencer and Geomancer artifact equipment, and Reive adjustments, and the development team has been hard at work to get this content ready.
With that said, here's a quick glimpse from the new missions:
I would also like to apologize to people who have been looking forward to the addition of new Skirmish and the adjustment of coalition assignments that was initially planned. Because of QA validation and balance adjustments, we have delayed this portion originally planned August 6 version update to an additional version update to be implemented later.
However, the simulacrum segments for new Skirmish will be available starting on Tuesday, August 6 (this is because players will benefit from a large distribution of these segments prior to its addition). Also, in addition to the new segments and raising the probability of obtaining segments in general, we will also be increasing the availability of higher rank segments.
We are hard at work to prepare this content for an additional version update to be carried out around the end of August. For more information regarding new Bayld equipment or Skirmish weapons, please hold on a little bit longer (I will continue to provide progress reports once we schedule the subsequent update).
By the way, in the new Skirmish, monsters will attack bases such as this, and you will need to defeat the monsters as they appear to defend the base.
Fences can also be installed at the center (up to four can be installed).
Since the continuous login campaign in August will be affected by this additional update, we are taking that into account while setting the campaign period.
Also, on another note, the implementation period for the scheduled adjustments to add effects to Reive trophies has been changed in order to prioritize the implementation of other Reive adjustments.
In the August 6 version update, the evaluation method for colonization reives, lair reives, and wildskeeper reives will be adjusted, and we will also be making other adjustments to lair and colonization reives in Yahse Hunting Grounds, Ceizak Battlegrounds, Moh Gates, Morimar Basalt Fields, Sih Gates, and Foret de Hennetiel.
In conjunction with the above adjustments, in order to make Lair Reives easier to complete in Yorcia Weald, we will temporarily be removing the Panopt family monster "Shortsighted Panopt" from Yorcia Weald. This should help to increase the rate of increase for the colonization rate there, allowing the Wildskeeper Reive to be easier to take on.
The addition of the Reive trophy effects and relocation of "Shortsighted Panopt" will be carried out in a version update before the end of August.
Because we received a wide variety of feedback about the performance adjustments to equipment, I had prepared a response, but the volume of posts has continued to increase greatly, so I'd like some more time to organize my thoughts and I will post it at a later date.
Regarding PS2 black-outs and other Mog Garden updates, Fujito has posted separately, so please refer to his posts.

| | Fujito: Mog Gardens August Update
Hello everyone!
I hope you've been enjoying your Mog Gardens so far. In this post, I want to talk about what we plan to implement in the August version update.
Moogle Menu Updates
An item will be added to the Moogle menu which will provide more information about the "Twinkle Star." The stars are what the GPS crystal has been accumulating each new day you enter the Mog Garden, and they will be exchangeable for useful items and services.
Like what, specifically?
- Mog Teleport Service
This will be a one-way teleport to your Mog House in San d'Oria, Bastok, or Windurst. Moogle magic will allow you to move through the hidden Moogle passages.
- Assistant Employment Extension
In exchange for stars, you can higher an assistant for one week instead of paying 10,000 gil.
- Obtaining Fertilizers
You will be able to obtain the fertilizers that you can also buy from coalitions for stars instead of Bayld.
- Gil Savings Box
We have prepared a gil savings box by request. You can put gil into the box and see how much gil you've accumulated. You can put gil into savings either via a numeric input when speaking, or by trading directly. What will happen when you save up a lot of gil...?
- Crab Invitation
You can increase the amount of friends on the beach.
Additional content is scheduled to be added in future version updates.
Addition of Ranks 4 and 5
The rank limit on the collection points in the Garden will be raised to 5. The limits will be raised gradually from more articles which you'll be able to acquire.
Support Item Availability
This list is not complete, but we will be adding items that belong to th following categories. Additionally, some of these affect the entire party, but we haven't talked about special behavior.
- Fireworks
- Food
- Costumes
- Movement speed items
- Crystal Clusters
The available items will be consumable or enchanted-type items.
New Plants
We will increase the amount of items that can be planted in the furrows. This time, we're looking into supporting roots-type items, so please try planting new things.
It feels like a lot of stuff! We're also adjusting items available from the moogle as well as employment extension of the assistant via items, and we hope you enjoy all of these new features on the day of the version update.
Also, just to touch on this, while we don't have an immediate response yet, we are still looking into various methods for increasing inventory capacity, so we'll follow up on that.
