....and there was great rejoicing when it became known that nobody would care about the Conquest Tally ever again.

Amen to that, lol

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Yeah. Lemme tell ya... their timing was perfectly terrible as usual. The day they announced they would be allowing you to warp to an OP as long as you had unlocked it IN ANY NATION... I had just finished getting my second-to-last OP for Windurst. This is of course only after biting the bullet and changing nations to complete the Windy missions just 3 weeks prior. I thought of myself as lucky for having gotten 3 good Conquest weeks in a row... netting me everything but Ronfaure.

Imagine my surprise to find out that all those hours of running around from OP to OP were for nothing. Thanks SE... Thanks.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Ronfaure was unlocked for Bastok in like my third week playing, I didn't realize how big a deal it was. Windurst I got towards the beginning of last year. I wish they wouldn't have made that change, but only because I already had them all with my main city (Bastok )

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

The one time we (I mean Sandy) got Gustaberg, I rushed through the Windy Missions to be done by the conquest tally so I could get the OP and stay Sandy forever. I was Rank 10 Windurst for like 20 minutes.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I was rank 10 in Windy and Sandy for a total of the amount of time it took me to get back to Metalworks and switch back (maybe 10 mins total).

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

... 'bout the same amount of time when I finally achieved Rank 10 Windy ... then jetted right back to Sandy.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I too was fortunate enough to get windy and bastok OPs during the rare time Sandy took over. I remember checking the region like 20 times because I couldn’t believe it. I put it as a /LSMES.

Although I don’t always find the bastok OP useful. Almost seems like a Tele-Dem & Chocobo can get you there as fast as one running for the OP.

I do however love the windy one. It helped for the many times I needed something from Giddius(sp)

I switch to Windy pretty much just for the KI to open the mage door ><…once i got it, i figured i might as well finish it. I was windy rank 10 for a good 20 minutes before switching back to Sandy.

**little 'romyro history'** i started in windy to get that badass int+1 ring. chose to be blm at that time. 2 days later I ran across the world with a Sam friend and changed to sandy.

Hey Romyro... I'll just leave this here for you. I think you have a new peeve.

Treasure Hunter Effect Amongst Jobs

inbefore RAWR!!!!!!!!!

Treasure Hunter Effect Amongst Jobs

As an adjustment to the balance of Treasure Hunter at level 99, the below pets will have their Treasure Hunter effect changed to Treasure Hunter I.

-Dipper Yuly
-Faithful Falcorr
※These pets will have a base of Treasure Hunter I, but by using equipment that has “Pet: Treasure Hunter +” the effect will become stronger.

Here is the premise regarding the hierarchy of the Treasure Hunter effect (from strongest to weakest).
1. Thief
2. Ranger
3. Support job thief
4. Other jobs

※As ranger received the new “Bounty Shot” as a support ability, it is now slightly more beneficial than a support job Treasure Hunter when effectively used.

However, with the increase in the level cap from 75 to 99, this ordering has started to become ambiguous, so in order to clearly define the premise again, our current aim was to find adjustments appropriate to follow this.

The prime example of changes to this hierarchy were with the increase in the Treasure Hunter effect for familiar pets due to the level cap increase and we would like to start by adjusting this area.

The development team looked into routes to adjust this, such as changing the pet’s job, lowering the stats of the pets in exchange for not lowering the Treasure Hunter effect, revamping the pet’s special abilities, etc., but ultimately they made the decision to preserve their fighting capabilities and only reduce their Treasure Hunter effect. To go along with this adjustment, we will be easing up on the materials required to synthesize “Lucky Broth” which created with the basis of the Treasure Hunter effect in mind.
※The current focus of this adjustment is for familiar pets, but in the future if automatons and avatars are given Treasure Hunter, we will be adopting the same policy.


To give a bit more insight, the development team looked into a completely different direction on this at first, exploring if they could establish proper balance to follow this idea by changing the drop rate table. However, if they were to change the drop rates, the obtainment rate for every single item would change and the effects would be too drastic, so they came to the conclusion that they would not be adjusting the drop rates.

It's been said before... but really, SE: WTF were you smoking when you decided OP placement for Bastok? The campaign warp in the past sucks just as much butt. I hope the developer that made that decision has to make multiple bus connections from where he has to park. I absolutely hate running through the Gustabergs. Such an ugly landscape. Reminds me of home. I really really hate the music but only because I went 1/50+ on Leaping Lizzy and by the time I saw the drop, that music had played just a few too many cycles.

Ouch. /comfort Romyro.

Tbh, I was really surprised to return and find that BST had gotten such a high TH.. Made me really consider leveling BST. Wouldn't want to be a bandwagon BST anyway. Well, if I'm on and you ever need a THF, give me a /t.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

The solution is to be from Bastok. This isn't rocket science guys.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Yea saw that yesterday...it truly sucks imo.

I’m not so angry about it from a dynamis perspective. Even I’ll agree that shit has gotten out of hand there. I swear some of them are idiots as well as jackasses. Dualwielding evasion axes when I’m pretty sure a 99 thf (jug) would have capped evasion on EPs to begin with. Half perle sets that end up probably hurting more then they help (like when they’d have more Haste if they just wore those last 2 pieces).

Then there’s them that purposely try to claim 2-3 mobs because they can ‘survive’. When it’s actually more efficient (imo) for a bst to fight mob 1 at a time. Shit dies so much fast when it’s 2 vs. 1 oppose to 2 vs. 3+.

I don’t see it keeping Bsts out of Dynamis though. If I can still average upwards of 100 coins (1-2 per kill), you can bet your ass I’ll still be going there for gil. infact when i was working on Guttler (pre-cop dynamis change) i was averaging upwards of 75-100 coins.

Anyway…

It’s really a Debbie downer (for me at least) for the solo/lowman fights I so much enjoy. That lil bit of TH can make a world of difference when trying to get some particular items off mobs/NMs. I can usually get 1 or 2 seals of Aby NMs. Helps on getting 2 drops instead of 1 for empy items among other things.

I hope this ‘pet:TH’ gear will at least allow us to swap it in for similar results. Or possibly give other pets a light TH effect.

I was really nice having ability on those pets. Bst is constantly shunned by most events. While I don’t always enjoy playing solo, it does appear to be the nature of the job and having a little bit of everything made it all that much more appealing.

Easier to get to Bastok by OPing to the desert and running through K. Tunnel honestly.

Back in the day, yes. Now it's easiest to use an Abyssea NPC to warp the the Abyssea - Altepa Maw in North Gustaberg. You can see the entrance to Bastok mines from where it drops you.

Or... assuming that Thrifty Transit is one of the current Super Kupowers... you can always just repatrition yourself to your home nation and then warp to any city you like using one of the event moogles.

^^Grauberg is in North Gusta, Altepa is in South Gusta
