Nothing noticable with the HQ rate so far.

Tried a mix of T0 and T1 synths with hq crystals with a bunch of nq's.

Same thing with me. Just went 0/12 on some T1 synths, and 2/24 on T2 synths, all with Coconut Rusk active.

Then I crit broke a Cursed Crown -1 upgrade synth......

Just messing around with Volume 1.

Qiqirn Mob.

For me testing different jobs out. If I let it get a hit on me it will level up and 1hour over and over. Going sch and kiting it around the pole with a helix on it does nothing but a defense down move and slowly dies. As soon as I let it hit me starts leveling up which regains all hp and starts to hundred fist,perfect dodge,mighty strikes etc etc..

Once leveling up it will reset hate and regain hp back to 100%
The use of spinning fin causes the level up animation and hate reset. If you could deal dmg while not being close enough to get hit with this move its a easy win. Similar maybe to the Frog month of ambuscade. Have a tank kite and dd's trail behind doing dmg.

Qiqirns :
Adds are immune to NT Horde Lullaby and Stun, Sleepga works.
Might be immune to geo debuffs like the frog ambuscade, they were still at 100% with Geo-Poison, Volt Strike/Night Terror damage were the same w/ and w/o Bolster Frailty/Malaise.

Wowwwwwwwww.

There really aren't words for this update. Nothing I can put to paper seems to do it enough justice.

It seems the Japanese text added to rusks says it's HQ rate up and synth material loss down. So looks like it's localization mistake.

As I didn´t read anything about it here yet: ambuscade v2 is a wyrm, he goes airborne after some time, for around a minute. Casts -ga3 and t4 nukes, I´ve seen water, thunder and wind elements. Terror seems limited to 10 seconds, his wing is similar to fafnir (adds blind). None of his hits seem to be all too dangerous. I didn´t witness any SP animation. Takes more damage as his hp go down. CDC>CDC light did ~30k near the end, with walmart gear.

D kill on blu with august, yoran, selhteus, shantotto2 (I actually forgot to get a 5th trust out) in 8 minutes, easy.
VD kill on blu+geo dualbox with the same trusts, also in 8 minutes, also easy.

I didn´t bother nuking it in the air phases in both fights. August died both times and I still never went past yellow hp.

I guess we'll see how useful the new weapons can be in time.

Qiqirn E: 2 mobs. Pilferer and Scoundrel. Both repeatedly level up - not sure how to delevel them yet or stop the leveling up. Level ups reset hate.

And yet they couldn't be kind enough to put odd jobs on the new Rune stuff like the g.sword. ><;; Was kinda hoping for a way to avoid doing Master Trials specifically for Abyssea procs.

At 300/150 hallmarks and gallantry it is not worth doing V2 VD is it? Unless you can solo or 2box and it is less painful than pick up parties.
What mobs do you have to kill to get KIs and where are people going to get them?

10 dragons, puks will do, I went to bhaflau thickets hp but I´m sure there´s better spots.

Did they change which armor you get from hallmarks of gallantry?

gallantry buys alex/beitetsu/hpb now. no change in armor sets.

I've heard that it's simple, and it should be faster than V1VE. Given the mechanics in V1, I wouldn't be surprised if most ignore it. If you've got a good setup for V1 though, compare the time it takes for 1xV1E (600hm/400gal, ~10min muddling thru w/ a pet setup) to 2xV2VD(600hm/300gal).

10x Dragons for V2 KI. The devs were kind enough to forget to remind us that Puks count as dragons (even though they reminded JP players.)

So on Intense the mobs level up every time they deal any damage to a player? That's kind of dumb though...

So any reason that 5 THF/NIN or DNC/NIN or NIN with a BRD couldn't beat V1, assuming all are competent and don't get hit?

You talking V1 Easy because the D / VD arena require much a much higher buff level. So GEO + BRD at a minimum, no idea how it deals with them damaging a luopan and normally at that level you want a tank because of how ridiculous their attacks can be.

Where are folks going for puks?
Why are folks trying a pet setup for V1? (I don't know anythign about V1 just yet).

Felgarr:
Aht Urghan HP for Puppet in Peril fight.
Think 75 era war/nin burn pts.

~~

Rod looks interesting, could always just make a rule to only use it if mp above a certain percent. Especially in like escha/reis with refresh vorseals up. I would probably use this on rdm if they had put it on.

Hands are gonna be a solid idle piece for some of those jobs.
Also: acc/racc55 and all stat+38 combo might make them useful for some random ws's with strange mods.
Say like a low ftp with a strange combo of str or dex with a magical stat (mnd int chr)
Brd Mythic Ws comes to mind (these would be 2nd best to regal barely), as does lol blade:kamu.
Brd/Whm/Smn have no wsd hands options so more likelihood of these being useful for WS there.

Dagger: ignoring all the extra mp stuff you still get
DMG:129 Delay:187 (nq: 128/192) skill242 on a dagger rng, nin, & cor are on
That's just a strong dagger in it's own right without the mp stuff.
for comparison Odium: DMG:113 Delay:208 (acc/att+13 all stat+13)

last, I'm assuming hq rate sucks but if it doesnt the bow could be a dt-3 alternative to staunch for maging rdm/brd/smn/sch

A young woman opened up an ornately decorated letter delivered to her in the Metalworks. The sender: The Jeuno Institute of Magical Studies.

We hereby congratulate you on being selected by adventurers the world over to participate in the Trust Initative! Now you, too, can be everywhere at once as Vana'diel's finest take you as their companion on myriad journeys.

Cornelia neatly folded the piece of paper in half, saying softly but proudly, "My adventure begins here!"

What Cornelia failed to realize was that in tiny, tiny print was written a list of "Terms and Conditions" that stipulated her participation in the initiative, including an off-hand mention of some scroll.

-----------------------

A big thank you to everyone who participated in the 15th Vana'versary The One I Can Trust Campaign! You have made your voices heard, and we are proud to bring to you an alter ego of Cornelia in celebration of fifteen years of FINAL FANTASY XI!


Cornelia would like to say a few words in commemoration of this momentous event.


"I'm so honored and humbled that you would choose me as your adventuring companion. I have long wanted to travel the world, and as the president's daughter I pledge that I will do my nation proud!"

About Cornelia
Cornelia is a supportive alter ego who grants the player calling her forth the following benefits:

Haste+ / Accuracy+ / Range Accuracy+ / Magic Accuracy+

* The exact value of these effects vary based on your level.
* Only the icon for Haste+ will display, but all effects will be active.

Acquiring the Alter Ego
If you have completed the quest Trust, you will automatically obtain the alter ego upon logging in after the Monday, September 11, 2017, version update. No message will be displayed signifying that you have acquired the alter ego.
If you have not completed the quest Trust, you must first complete it after the Monday, September 11, 2017, version update and then relog or change areas. No message will be displayed signifying that you have acquired the alter ego.

Period when the alter ego may be used
Cornelia's alter ego may be used between the version update on Monday, September 11, 2017, and the version update in May 2018.
* Exact dates are subject to change.


So it's temporary? Why?

I would be happy with V1 E, yeah. Can the mobs be pulled apart if you had one DD soloing each? If so do they still all fully heal if pulled apart and one manages to land a hit? This sounds like a nightmare and I was really excited about the increased points change. This is just going to result in a massively busy and blocked V2.

So far pet setups are able to beat V1VE in 10 minutes lol.

They are sleepable though so maybe DD's using shadows and stuff like slow + paralyze enfeebles. Think they all use ST moves that shadows absorb.
