They've been making typos pretty regularly lately. Figure it is because of the stat vomit and reduced number of employees? Fucho-no-obi caused no small amount of speculation and disappointment last update for this reason.

Another regain +10 for automaton that will probably go to +1... Let's hope not lol
I think SE said something about making the maximum TP 3000 to make TP calculations easier

Why did you even attempt to give geomancer anything. This is pretty pathetic. 3 more skill and -5% damage taken will literally do nothing to boost potency or save your luopan.
Dunna: Handbell skill +18 Damage taken by luopan -5%
I'd still use it.

I really hope you're joking. Big numbers are not the same thing as a power increase, SE.

Probably trivial but I'm just hoping the game properly starts up once the maintanence is over. Update, POL maint. AND server equipment. Last time they did all of this in one go (I believe in 2006 or 07) half the servers were unreachable for like 2 weeks lol. Those were fun times...

They stated they may make that change since decimals are now being used it would be easier to just migrate 300tp - 3000 tp and then show actual changes without a hidden part. Just a different scale.

Dunno how I feel about all that Enmity-10 on a lot of those weapons. I mean on the Mage Jobs it's fine, but it's on the MNK and NIN weapons. Might hurt Tanking and Off-Tanking.

The decimals have always been there, they were just never displayed. Back in, gah, 2003 or so when we were still figuring out how to play the game, some of us thought that Store TP was broken since it only occasionally resulted in gaining an extra point of TP. Fast-forward to 2005, though, and we'd started backwards-engineering all that stuff.

It's 2014: if this ***is still confusing, just give up and play another game. It just seems like a pointless thing to spend time on.

I would say "this dnc knife with regain +10", but after si read people saying about the new 3000 tp bar, i think regain 10 is kinda... Meh.

Ah, and ofc, the already famous +1 song harp.

And the scythe with hp drain, now drk and whm can stop qqing about using last resort.

Pretty sure the TP bonus 1000 is just a typo given the fact that the patch notes say nothing about increasing TP to 3000. Would be hilarious though.

Notes
If the player has accepted a relic, mythic, or empyrean weapon repairing quest, they will be unable to accept the job-specific weapon quest while equipped with the weapon that started the repairing quest. Unequipping the weapon will solve this issue.

Need a bit of clarifying. I’m guessing the bolded means: the pluton/beitetsu/boulder quest, right?

I never heard of it referred to as “repairing quest”

Yay, judging by the dmg and delay, looks like it'll be a hexagun design.

I think it all looks rather "meh" besides the dagger you mentioned. The only possible exception that stands out to me is the Scythe. If HP drains proc well, that could be interesting.

The bow is probably TP Bonus+100, which might be underwhelming for SAM considering Apex's flat 3.0 FTP mod. edit: I forgot "ignores defense" scales with TP, so there is that.

The NIN katana is a backhand to the face. It doesn't even get +242 skill, and to top it off.. -10 enmity.

Would be somewhat funny if they did change it to 3000tp but forgot to change the WS TP bonus values, everyone pumping out ridiculously overpowered WS until the first emergency maintenance.

TP bonus weapons don't bring you over 300 tp for effectiveness, so a theoretical 1000 TP bonus weapon would be the same as a 200 TP bonus weapon.

BRD and PLD don't get a weapon, they get a harp/shield respectively.

So I'm guessing these weapons are SE's solution to the gap between those with R/M/E weapons and those without? Not quite as powerful, but easier to obtain...

Same as a 100 tp weapon actually.

I'm talking about if they actually gave 1000 bonus TP, not like how 1000 = 100 real TP in equipment nomenclature now.

Nah sadly there is a cap where TP bonus cant go over the 300 TP max. We learned this with Hagun. Anymore then 200 TP is a waste with 100 TP bonus.
