Light week this week, since I've had a fairly busy RL and more moderation duties than usual, but here's today's patch:

  • [XI] Inactive characters no longer get Achievement points.

  • [XI] Radial Arcana ID was incorrect.

  • [XI] Jobs you don't have JP for won't show up in the list anymore.

  • [XI] Characters can now hide Atma, Abyssites, Job Points, and Voidwatch information.

  • [XI] DNC and SCH are now lined up in the job table like they are in game.

  • [XI] The "Criticial" typo is gone.

  • Users from the same IP can now both score posts.



Let me know if you have any questions or problems.

There may be an error in the merit section related to the Attributes category. With 3 maxed attributes the count goes up to 36/45 instead of being maxed. Other than that, all I see is a whole lot of awesomeness! Thank you for all the improvements :)

Maybe I am doing something wrong.. I seem to be able to get to 12 at most. Viewing my profile while logged out will show the section as missing merits. However, when I log on and hit the section, the limit only goes up to no.12

Idk if it means anything, but I do not use Guildwork plugin.

Ah, that's the issue. I didn't update the manual merit entry section, since they aren't used for achievement point purposes; I will add that in the next week's patch.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Points are getting a pretty major overhaul soon. I still haven't found a breakdown I really like, and it's not a top priority, just something I fiddle with. My eventual plan for it is going to look something like:

20% EXP/JP/Atma/Abyssites
15% Missions
25% Crafting
40% Legendary weapons

XI's crafting is no joke, and it'd be nice to make the AP system reflect that.

I've Actually had an issue for about a month now where I am not getting the Enqueue button to show on my LS community link in the upper left corner, and its not pulling my missions or assaults is this an issue with LS community or AH.com, I have followed the correction steps and updated the correct link to my character on community, still to no avail :(

This has been a problem with a number of people; I still don't have an answer for it yet. The LSCOM is weird and buggy as hell. I'll see what I can find this week.

XI's crafting is no joke, and it'd be nice to make the AP system reflect that.

Getting each craft to 60 using kits takes approximately 4 hours and 4M gil. Getting each craft to 70 adds another 150 minutes and 2-3m gil each. Getting a craft from 70-110 adds 10 hours and 30-100m gil. Synergy costs 1-3m and 16-20 hours. Leaves a total of 78-82 hours and 160m to cap everything except fishing, and the vast majority of it can be automated(there's a tool to do 0-60 on kits without touching your computer, and even if you go completely vanilla lastsynth is essentially no attention required).

This is less time, less attention, and less gil than making a single mythic. Even fishing is not that bad with all of the new additions. Having crafting be valued at over half of all legendary weapons is completely absurd.

It's been a while since I crafted, so that's interesting information. Thank you.

I don't envy trying to create a fair balance, just trying to provide information. I did every craft to 70 on 8 characters in one weekend during double synth skillup campaign and kept my stats, adjusted for double being off in my prior post.

I'd think trying to estimate based off of required time(with a value in time for gil) would create the most balanced points system. That way, there's little incentive to grind anything that furthers your progression slower for the sake of xiah points.

Awesome patch! Thank you very much :)
One question though: where can you find the job points to edit / manage now?

I think his estimations are a bit overly optimistic.
But at the same time I agree with him overall that Crafting got really really faster and easier, especially the 1-60 step.
But with the new "can skillup even with 10 levels under recipes" thing, all professions got access to many "cheap" recipes that they can spam for 10 levels more. It makes a huge difference.

It's definitely something you need to take into consideration Rooks, to a certain degree at least.
Without forgetting that just how craftings got much easier, so did pretty much all of the rest of the game. Relics and Mythics included.

Oh also:

I have max-meritted STR, DEX and VIT in-game in the merits attribute category.
That should be 45 merits, but on this site it says I have 36/45.

The manual entry for merits hasn't been updated, and there isn't one at all for job points. Both are handled through the Guildwork plugin. I'm going to update the merit page, but I don't really see myself adding one for job points unless there's a TON of demand for it.

Yeah.

I might just open a thread specifically for suggestions, see if people have better ideas and arguments than I do.

Ah I see. Thank you for the quick reply.
For me personally job points aren't really a priority. Sure it's nice to check them outside of the game, but not a necessity. Heh, I don't have that many spent anyway.

To be honest, crafting used to be way more expensive/time consuming. But with kits and getting skill ups from any synth ten levels below makes it easy mode. Not that any of the achievements are difficult now.

Hey Rooks, My job points have been stuck for like 2 months and they are fine on guildwork, tried queuing an update and still nothing... Any idea?

Edit: nevermind... it's guildwork that's screwing with job points :/

Fine with that, plan on crafting a lot soon.
