  • Let There Be More Fields of Valor and Treasure Caskets! (03/06/2009)

    (Not using the quote tag because it italicizes everything, but all this is from the SE official website.)

    Official PlayOnline announcementl

    The April version update will see coverage of the Fields of Valor and Treasure Casket systems extended to include areas introduced in the Rise of the Zilart expansion. Fields of Valor, in particular, is set to undergo a major upgrade that will further enhance its appeal to a broad range of adventurer palates.

    -------------------------------------------------------

    An Ever-expanding Sphere of Enjoyment!

    The above-mentioned systems will be made available in the Rise of the Zilart areas listed below:
    Cape Teriggan / Eastern Altepa Desert / The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah / Ro'Maeve / Yuhtunga Jungle / Yhoator Jungle / Western Altepa Desert / Valley of Sorrows / Ru'Aun Gardens



    Treasure Caskets appearing for the first time in these areas will yield an array of rewards unique to their respective locales.




    Enhanced Access to Fields of Valor!

    In addition to the above Rise of the Zilart locations, the following original areas are also scheduled to host a Field Manual:
    East Ronfaure / La Theine Plateau / Batallia Downs / South Gustaberg / Konschtat Highlands / Rolanberry Fields / East Sarutabaruta / Tahrongi Canyon / Sauromugue Champaign / Behemoth's Dominion

    In light of the expansion of playable areas for Fields of Valor, a number of preexisting training regimes will be relocated for the sake of convenience. Currently, there are regimes for which the objectives are found in a different area from where the issuing Field Manual is situated. The next version update will eliminate hassles such as having to make a long trek to La Theine after receiving regime objectives in West Ronfaure.

    As the icing on this veritable cake of convenience, each Fields of Valor area is scheduled to host multiple Field Manuals, so you can spend less of your precious adventuring time in commute, and more on completing your objectives and reaping the rich rewards.






    NMs Set to Join the Fray!

    Fields of Valor was created so that all players could have lighthearted yet fruitful adventuring available at their fingertips. Following in the footsteps of this ideal, the April version update will usher in challenging new objectives—elite training regimes—that will have hearts pumping in the ears of even the most seasoned adventurers.

    Accessing these elite training regimes requires key items which can be obtained in exchange for tabs, and your choice of gil, beastmen's seals, or a piece of equipment. Rewards granted upon completion of an objective will vary depending on the combination of the above. For example, adventurers who trade gil will be handsomely rewarded in kind, while beastmen's seals will garner you an amount of experience points corresponding to the quantity traded. Those who dare to relinquish equipment, on the other hand, can expect delightful rewards the likes of which have never been seen before on Vana'diel!
    As an added bonus, no experience penalties will be imposed even if your best effort at fulfilling an objective results in a humiliating defeat at the hands of your quarry. So go on, get out there and prove your worth and valor!

    *Due to the grueling nature of these elite training regimes, no more than one can be undertaken per day (Earth time).

    Fun and accessible content for everyone is the common objective which drives all of us here on the development and administration teams. These additions and adjustments to Fields of Valor and Treasure Caskets are but another part of our ongoing commitment to this mission.

                  Well I have found recently in my current solo levelling career of 2 low level characters and of course my long standing character Brickshouse these fields of valour quests help imensly with gaining solo exp.

                  To see more enhancement and in medium areas I.e. Eurdice my lvl 15 warrior could now do the konchat highlands one rather than have to wait till she is able to do valkrum etc. The other levels like the jungles would help my higher level job on brickshouse (War 39, PLD 46) as a step up from teh quafim ones I've been doing.

                  To me, plus the additional location of books (to stop the long trecks back to get the next quest or repeat one) is alos a bonus.

                  The fields of valour quest system is a godsend and is helpign to get rid of teh "Lack of solo play" that FFXI has always had that put players off.

                  Bravo SE I will have fun + for those just starting it will help you increase your characters levels, but remember, party experience is also good as higher up you will need to know aprty dynamics.

                      It was to be expected. No complaints here.

                        holy hell!

                        I was hoping for Altepa and Elshimo books... but this is like... the greatest news ever!

                        I am so glad I came back to FFXI when I did, its been even more fun than it was 7 years ago.

                          It'd be nice if they add the book locations to the map....I'll bet the NMs will drop some pretty nice items. This just gives me another reason to make a comeback again in april lol.

                            Awesome. Maybe this will help thin out Qufim Island, now overly crowded (at least on my server) with parties competing with FoV soloers for pretty much the same mobs.

                              Amazing. I do like to party but prefer to solo so this will make a big positive difference to my FFXI experience
