Thats enough with the insults. Any more flying around will get an infraction. You are the one that keeps it going Trip so just stop already.

Wow, so much bitching and before I even got here! Is that a new record?

I expected more surprises, but really nothing they've put in the update notes wasn't already mentioned, except a few things.

2 hours for AV ... haha ... it takes my stupid LS longer than that to kill JoL. Lame.

At the rate they're going, they won't have to.

The Atk/Acc/MAtk/MAcc and double attack properties of the Mythic weapons are only active int the Aftermath of the job-specific Weapon Skill. This means you can only get those effects after you build TP and Weapon Skill, and only using the specifically named Skills.

Relic weapons not only have higher base damage(with respect to their Mythic counterparts), but each carries an occasional 2x or 3x damage, before crits, to say nothing of the 20 Atk bonus on 1h weapons, and 20 Acc bonus on 2h. All this, regardless of Weapon Skill use.

But the big thing is many of the mage Relics down right suck. I mean Clautrum...really?.

Plus all the mythics seem to have OAC, which is much nicer for TP gain then 2x/3x dmg.

However Excalibur still blows away anything and everything.

They nerfed JoL too didn't they?

Re: ≪Sep. 9, 2008 (JST) Update Details≫

Hell I don't know ... JoL still sucks though because my LS takes a year and a half to fucking kill it. I doubt we'll be even remotely close even having a shot at AV.

I beg to differ. Burtgang is by far the superior tanking sword outside of merits.

So i have a question:

Could RMT's lvl their characters to lvl 75 without ever leaving the dunes ?

Meh, no new medals and no last piece of IR armor, this update fails.

Anyone could, and end up with a lvl75 character that can't hit anything in the Jungles.

Adjustments have been made to Jailer of Love, Absolute Virtue (and pets), and Pandemonium Warden (and pets) in areas such as HP value and behavior. Absolute Virtue and Pandemonium Warden will now vanish two hours after their appearance, automatically ending the battle. In addition, the spawn rate for Absolute Virtue has been increased to 100%.

2 hours......thats a hell of a difference.

100% AV....WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

You would need a steady stream of new low level characters/jobs to use as a sync target for the up-to-five you're actually trying to level, though.

Re: ≪Sep. 9, 2008 (JST) Update Details≫

I have to say I think 2 hours is a bit extreme. I think anyone who plays this game would have been okay with say, a 6 hour limit. Granted, that's still a long freaking time to be fighting one mob, but from 18+ hours down to two? WUT?!?!

I definitely had issues with an 18 hour mob, but come on, we already spend 3 hours in Dynamis (4 if you count gather together time), 4-5 hours gathering and doing KS99, Bv2 fights, etc., Hours and hours meriting, etc. I think lowering it all the way to two is kind of ... a bit much. Even though you have to go through JoL to get to AV first, I still think two hours is just ... lame. From the most notorious of NMs in the game to a total pussy.

Okay probably not pussy, but still, seems kind of lame. Seems the time limit could have been made longer, people were willing to spend time on AV and PW! Just not 18 hours.

Re: ≪Sep. 9, 2008 (JST) Update Details≫

Yes, I think 4 hours minimum would have been fine. These are supposed to be epic mobs that take time and strategy.

Not only that, but from levels 11-19 you get roughly 25k exp. From that point on, it's roughly 775k to level 75. With lowlevel gear and hardly any abilities, grinding in valk for 775k exp sounds like a nightmare.

Time =/= difficulty.
