Re: Update (April 17 2006) Details

I'm happy about PLDs getting auto-refresh. It would have bothered me if auto-refresh was a level 38+ job trait, but it's not.

So far I'm liking this patch. I'm a bit worried about the TP change, though...

And this is interesting:

The conditions under which the following notorious monsters appear have been altered:
Castle Oztroja: Mee Deggi the Punisher, Quu Domi the Gallant
Sea Serpent Grotto: Pahh the Gullcaller, Worr the Clawfisted, Novv the Whitehearted, Zuug the Shoreleaper

I'm guessing that's anti-gilseller, but I wonder how it'll work...or if it'll just be something stupid that doesn't change a thing overall.

Edit:

I am, however, disappointed by the lack of job changes in general. They only got around to changing benediction and PLDs. But it's okay, I forgive SE. They gave me what I was praying for in the patch.

The following items can now be bundled into a quiver or pouch:
iron bullets/kabura arrows/silver bullets/acid bolts/sleep bolts/blind bolts/bloody bolts/venom bolts/holy bolts/scorpion arrows/sleep arrows/demon arrows/spartan bullets

That 5 piece set where each piece gives auto-refresh is almost kinda like a perpetuation cost change.

Edit later.

Damn you task, can't you wait for me to edit it before posting?!?!

Yeah, you need the whole set in order to get that one piece to give you a refresh effect, but the official description for the set is "In order not to burden the wearer, the Yigit Gomlek is designed to gradually draw small amounts of magical power from each part of the armor and concentrate it all in one place. Equipping the entire set of armor will provide its wearer with a nearly infinite pool of magical power to draw from." To me that suggests strongly that each piece has a refresh effect on it.

Thanks Fastcart. I like to get the downloads started as soon as possible.

Edit:
Oi. 30 minutes. >_>; I hope my connection improves soon. (I possibly found a way to get broadband here, finally... Dial-up isn't so bad...but it is when it's about 28.8kbps) ><

*sigh* no perpetuation / smn changes and we get our only defining job trait stolen from us *sigh*

<WHM> Should I sub smn or pld for auto refresh?

GTFO SE!

This was just the first of the job changes that they said they where doing. Hold your chocobos, all jobs (saved DRG and NIN) will get their stuff soon enough.

Ranged accuracy will no longer be determined by the distance from the target when using the ranger ability“Sharpshot.”

Re: Update (April 17 2006) Details

At first I thought I was the only one who noticed that subtle fishing nerf. Needless to say, I am not a happy camper -.-;; We can already only catch 200 fish a day max (13 stacks) and now, mobs captured, released, and items play into that number, allowing us to catch even less. Wow, great going SE. They really should take me to dinner first. I'd at least like a nice meal before I get screwed over -.-;; Everytime they do these anti bot, anti RMT changes they just end up harming their own actual cutsomers/players.

I liked the increase on stamina when catching mantas and some other catches popular with RMT.
