It’s stolen from the imps only when it uses tantra move, it’s a real pain in the back side to even get! The fight is also a pain aswell just tried it and died mobs heavy melee resists

Again, I ask, "Who is this designed for?"

I'm a programmer. Everything I make has to be based around the question "Who is this designed for?". Otherwise it's literally mental masturbation.

This is designed for the classic FF fans who remember grinding pink puffs, which were a 1/64 encounter in FFIV(2us) with a 1/64 droprate on pink tail, which you could exchange for Adamant armor.

I doubt many of them still play FFXI, but it's obviously not without an idea behind it. It's just a huge miss for what the current playerbase enjoys. I don't see anyone farming this for the stats, it's obviously going to be a form of epeen item.

speaking as one of the few in the XI playerbase who loved IV, they can definitely make us reminisce without reviving that bit^^

I stole just as he was doing or just had done Frenetic Rip. So it's not just the tantaras at least.

Also there is a charm type of move… but it still attacks the flan, but it doesn’t allow you to do any ability etc

So basically another "It takes hours to farm a single pop that only a handful of people will be able to do" fight?

Who the *** are they designing this game for?

It is for the masochists who play XI. Like it always has been. The people with no respect for their own time and not enough braincells to figure it out.

So the entry item sounds like some total bull to me already, but I have two questions.

Is the item actually consumed when you enter the battlefield, or is it something you farm once and have forever? That would be a little more reasonable but I'm not hopeful.

With the shorter timer for entering without using the item, I'd assume there's no reward for going in and just helping, but is there some way for one person having the item to cover a whole party, or is it really literally "hope you remembered to master level thief"?

Ethereal weapons are from Bonanza then
I believe I called that when they were first introduced.


There are stylelock weapons with ethereal in the name. Plus they updated certain ones. Pretty sure it refers to them and not the bonanza weapons.

Only 1 person can use the Impish box in the fight, not sure what it does. Took 4 hours to steal 3 with 3 cor/thf. The fight is bs, spams new berserk move where cant do anything and cancels luopan, first 3 leaden did 99k with bolster malaise but could only get tp with crits or triple shot, berserk seemed to usually be on 2/3 people. no drop with th4 tank was always dispeled.

From entering the fight , only the party lead could use the box/horn whatever it is so idk if everyone would get the reward if 1 person uses which makes it a little bit more bareable to a degree

I bet this ends up being the firs time anyone actually cared about Steal and we end up finding out all the steal+ gear doesn't actually work and then they fix it in 3 years.

One of the devs THF MAIN ONLY friends was complaining about how nobody invites him to anything and he can’t even get exemplar points, so they introduced an item that can only be obtained at a low success rate by a thf off of locus mobs to trick people in to exemplar farming. Big brain.

yeah too much of a time sink for me to justify this. I just spent nearly an hour using steal and despoil on cooldown and nothing, and yes the imp horn was out lol, whether that's a confirmed thing or not that's required who knows. But yah I personally wont be wasting much time on this without a proper steal set and even then, who knows. If its gonna take me more than 30 minutes, then it isn't worth it imo.

Not much help in terms of the speed of regular trading, but all the item ID info seems fine in terms of them working in game- its just the displayed name/information. They do also still work with PorterPacker.

This "charm-lite' sounds almost identical to how it worked back in IV. Who, and the number it happened to, were completely random. I'm starting to almost be impressed^^
