Confirmed you cannot augment the armour pieces. Capes onry. Man, that blows. So much missed potential.
Missed potential, yes, but at the same time that would have killed a good part of the Reisen gear and even many of the HQ abj gear.

In a game where gear updates are in theory going to get much slower that's not healthy, imho.

Set is already good enough like that, it's an awesome DT/Hybrid set with some pieces clearly having potential for even more.

Really curious to see what's gonna happen in the upcoming sets.

Melee viable on all but VD intense.
When you say "Melee" do you mean "BLU with 269 skill weapons" or "Many (but not all) DDs"?

Because if it's the former it's nice to hear but doesn't really change that much from the current in-game activities meta-game, does it?
If it's the latter then it's gonna be refreshing for at least a few jobs.

Can trusts be summoned in Ambuscade? Also did anyone else get their macro books reset? Woo having to re-update from a 2 month save.
My macro book names cleared but they still contained my macros. Worth flicking through if you haven't
Anybody else reporting this?
Tempted to make a backup of my macros.

Anybody knows which folder are they stored in so I can make sure to get a backup done before starting the patching/update?

Not sure, but certainly more profitable than using Hallmarks for Rift/Beit/Plut
They cost 50 hallmarks whereas a single HP Bayld costs 35 (and an alex 15)

This one is a bit of a big disappointment for me. Especially with the end of the HTBF campaign I was hoping in a new *realistic* source of them on the market.
With these rates not only prices are gonna go back up instead of going down, but there's gonna be issues with quantities available soon.

Aside from a few situational items/accessories that nobody needs anymore, I think people do Legion because of the rare mats dropped inside, used to make the cursed items for the Legion/Voidwatch abjurations, which are now used to create the new Cursed items for the new Abjurations.

You can still go back to spam leviathan, it will only take 30% more runs

I sure do hope a lot of people are gonna keep doing it and keep the mats flowing on the market at a decent price.

Quoting SE's official patch notes:

Quote:
* Between one and six players may participate.

So I'd dare to say you can totally enter solo.

Because of the Mount system it is now possible to ride chocobo's in areas (Not Zones), where you could not. Like the Puk area on Bhaflau Thickets.
Just bare this in mind, as you can now totally abuse this lol.

Also Chocobo Mount only runs as fast as the default Raised Chocobo speed from what i tried.
Not Rented chocobo speed.

Like using Mounts in Zones where you would have access but wouldnt be able to Normally get a chocobo too. Like the Islands on WW or Bhaflau Thickets. or the Island on Batillia downs.

Seeing as the fastest place for dragons is on an Island on Bhaflau (Just use the HP then mount up)
Uh this is super useful.

It's also easier for Orc farm too. Recall Jugnar and Mount till you get to a large orc patch.

Yeah, they should've totally put a limit of at least 3 people (if not even 6) to enter, and then lift up this limit in a few months.


Altough it has to be said this content might never "die out" though, considering they are swapping the drops every month.

Dragons for what? REM trials?
Yeah ok but how many times do you really do REM trials?
And woudln't Abyssea be faster for that anyway?

And if you Recall-Jug you're gonna be in front of a Chocobo NPC.


Not trying to argue/fight with you, just having troubles seeing like this thing could prove like an "omg such an useful abuse!" thing.
I mean it's cool sure but... doesn't change much at the end of the day?
