Wait, does this mean that the only boost is the DMG rating during Leaden Salute? (Something that doesn't matter in Leaden calculations)
Looks like the one thing this update broke was the players'ability to comprehend basic text, be it in English or Japanese. Nothing personal, of course, but the amount of (unexplained) confusion this is causing really amazes me.

To answer your question, wsd on REMA augments work exactly as they worked before: they apply to all hits, and they are actual damage increase.

Sorry, they changed it to be more "clarifying" and it already gives a DMG:+ augment, and the Leaden Salute one is written out the same way.

I think the green glow on the Ergons looks great, meshes well with RUN's AF set.

Is it really green? :o

Would you mind posting a screen shot? I'm curious to see what it looks like xD.

I’d argue that a 25% drop rate of a good aug item still might be better than the old format. Once the congestion dies down and such, it’ll be easy to go in, kill the 1 enemy fast, pray, repeat.


Nothing is more frustrating than getting a SR group together and fighting your target enemy maybe once or twice.

Has anyone checked to see if they didn't stealth fix/nerf the WSD issue, seeing as how they changed the text on the augment, Wouldn't put it past SE to pretend it never happened and never address it.

Gonna do a quick check on WSD% now. Will update this post in a bit.

/Edit
24 tp return insurgency, 10126 damage
Should be around 5k damage for that TP return without WSD% applying

Conclusion:
WSD% is still applying to all hits of WS.

It's probably RNG, but I went 1/8 this morning. More data needed...

I started with 675k bayld, I now have 555k bayld, so 24 runs, I haven't seen a single drop yet, starting to feel like I'm doing something wrong, you know, other than wasting my time on this in the first place.

I was going to suggest bring a THF for TH. But since I soloed my run as well I'm not completely sure if this personal pool or treasure. More testing is needed. I still have a little over 600K Bayld. I'll find out when more LS members wake up.

What is this I hear? First day and people are reporting 1/24 drop rates? Another 1/4? RNG is that you again?????

I'm not sure why anybody could have possibly expected this would have been any better odds than just spamming path 1.

Lakshmi.Buukki said: »
This is a finesse job entirely. They just re-organized the order of chance to give you better different odds. its still RNG at the end of the day. I don't think this path is any different, just better odds at zeroing in on what you want, but with the possibility of not getting anything (aka wasting bayld). At least in standard route, you do get some gil sellables or some stuff you can convert.

The update is giving players the peace of mind knowing they are farming their boss of choice, with the chance at capped gear looming eventually.

And here we have Buukki, back with his infinite hatred of everything FFXI despite still playing it. Per usual, we add a sprinkling of boogyman by dropping the term 'RNG', compounded with a thorough misunderstanding of probability.

You cannot draw conclusions off samples of this size. And yes, it is almost certainly still better than spamming path 1, as the majority of players only care about targeting a few select pieces.

Come back when you have an unbiased 1000-pool sample. Until then, you're just pissing confirmation bias over everyone else's good time.

Infinite hatred? I <3 this game. No need to exaggerate anything, I'm just having fun with this. No harm no foul. It is really funny hearing experiences like Elazar's above and chuckling a little inside. Like I said, keep the expectations for this very low, so you can't go down any further.

I’m happy they changed it up, and it does not look to bad.

tl;dr: Better to do new SR if you lack a few max pieces from specific bosses and don't want any specific drop or just stick to normal one?
From my experience, old is better but I could have also lame luck, but yeah I’m going back the original one.
