It appears that COR and PUP will share the JSE/subligars of other jobs (Cerise and Shikaree). BLU's JSE isn't listed, though, with the two others that got changed for COR and PUP, so it looks like BLU will get a new, seperate JSE. Neat-o.

they aren't really JSE if multiple jobs can use them ya know? BLU could already wear cerise doublet before so they didnt' need to post it. Just check any site with the brygrid items, blu is listed for the one the fomor bard drops(cerise).

Am I reading this wrong or is it some kind of mistranslation?

I thought the new SAM abilities were supposed to be 1 min duration with 5 min recast, not the other way around.

EDIT: HOLY CRAP, it IS 1 min recast 5 min duration.

SE finally gives up something worthwhile.

You can now select to hear a chime sound when receiving a /tell from another player using the /tell chat filter option.

Sweet deal.

Corsairs and puppetmasters can now equip certain items previously unavailable to those jobs:

Corsair
Linen Doublet/Wool Doublet/Shikaree Aketon/Virgo Subligar.

Puppetmaster
Cerise Doublet/Libra Subligar

Hell yeah!

Cerise Doublet it awesome for PUP.

The puppetmaster job has undergone the following adjustments:

The various elemental capacities for automaton heads and frames have been increased.
Several new automaton attachments have been added.

SE fixing PUP little by little, i'm so happy :3

Hurray for:

RNG, DRG, SAM, PUP and SMN in this update, everyone got major updates, huzzah!

The only thing that really excites me is the /tell Chime. I've been wanting one of those forever.^^

The other stuff is neat too, don't get me wrong. But I love the Chime.

This looks like it will be my next Scythe upgrade for Black Mage. It's almost as good as Blackjack. This appears to be crafted, so it shouldn't be as expensive.

I really like the MP Drain part.

Damage: 85
Delay: 501
DPS: 10.18
Additional Effect: MP Drain

No other gear looks any good for Black Mage. SE got our hopes up and stiffed us. The cool looking hat that the Black Mage is wearing on this page appears to be a Harvest Festival piece. Witch Hat / Coven Hat

My thoughts exactly. At least I can get a cooler scythe than my Ivory Sickle.

From what I can tell it gave me +10 strength and +5 attack. Not sure how much haste and accuracy it gave, but that alone is worth something.

Re: Oct. 18, 2006 (PST) Update Details

I'd say the 10 STR is awesome, along with any Haste and Acc...the 5~ Attk sounds a little crappy though, but the other stats make up for it completely.

I love this update...I didn't know about the chime thing, I gotta get home and turn that on, it's exciting XD

Re: Oct. 18, 2006 (PST) Update Details

ok...so I may be functionally retarded...I can't find the chime thingy??? I went under menu/config and check under everything...nada!

Where O where art tho Chime Thingy!

Re: Oct. 18, 2006 (PST) Update Details

It's under chat filters, click on /tell until a little musical note appears next to it, Omniblast put a SS of it I believe, look earlier in the thread ^^

Re: Oct. 18, 2006 (PST) Update Details

ahhh...cool - I didnt want to click it cause i thought it filtered /tells out, but now I see there is more than on/off option. Thank you!

From what I can tell it gave me +10 strength and +5 attack. Not sure how much haste and accuracy it gave, but that alone is worth something.

It seems the +STR effect changes acording to level, at lvl 40ish it gives +6 STR from what I was told yesterday.

I'd say the 10 STR is awesome, along with any Haste and Acc...the 5~ Attk sounds a little crappy though, but the other stats make up for it completely.

The +att isn't a Hasso bonus but an indirect bonus from the +STR, although it does stack with Berserk and other abilities like that.


The delay reduction seems like it's worth it too, but we'll just have to wait for the math guys to make the tests and release the numbers about it's effect.
