Lago, if you want to cap shield, do what I did and level PLD.

I need to cap shield on pld. Though my parry still isn't capped on rdm. ><;

Re: Version Update Details! (4/8/09)

Higher level FoV areas might provide new incentives to skillup. You can get most of the way to cap on DC mobs, and with the right subjobs practically anyone can solo DCs now even without NPC (which is usable in most or all of the new FoV areas too).

IDK whether some of the highest FoV areas will include 75+ monsters (moongate stuff for the highest program in Ro'Maeve?) but if so, that would be a nice side benefit to people doing skillups.

As for shield, I got it gradually in Dynamis... still low parry though, it's crazy hard to skillup. IMO SE should increase the skillup chance for defensive skills other than evasion (shield doesn't need a big increase, but guard and parry do; even when they proc and you're well below cap they rarely skill up). Oh well, maybe next update. In the meantime, FoV soloing DCs could help with that too, if you're a long enough way from cap - but it'll be painfully slow.

Re: Version Update Details! (4/8/09)

[B]So here's my take... as my machine continues to do the update dance. As I have no immediate plans to take Whm, Rdm, or Smn so high those changes only affect me passively as a member of said {job}s party. Sounds like some good stuff tho.B]

* Field Manuals can now be found in the following areas:
East Ronfaure / La Theine Plateau / Batallia Downs / South Gustaberg / Konschtat Highlands / Rolanberry Fields / Cape Teriggan / East Altepa Desert / East Sarutabaruta / Tahrongi Canyon / Sauromugue Champaign / Sanctuary of Zi'Tah / Ro'Maeve / Yuhtunga Jungle / Yhoator Jungle / West Altepa Desert / Behemoth's Dominion / Valley of Sorrows / Ru'Aun Gardens[/quote]

EPIC WINS !!!! I FoV and the rest o the goodies were icing on the cake. I echo the concerns about NM's being related in some way to the already camped NM's we've been hunting but I'm gonna have faith in SE (oh gods what have i said)

* The teleportation service in past Vana'diel requiring payment in Allied Notes has been expanded to cover the following destinations:
Garlaige Citadel [s] / Crawlers' Nest [s] / Eldieme Necropolis [s]

[quote=Aksannyi;833973]

SUPER {SWEETS} !!!! ... hated running out there.

* The following changes have been made to Campaign Battles:
The amount of evaluation points awarded for attacking Fortifications has been adjusted.

Attacking Fortifications and other enemies specific to Campaign no longer increases combat and magic skills,regardless of whether or not you have received the effect of an Allied Tag.

Adjusted ='s Nerft BooooooOOOOooooo Well the good with the bad I guess. I usually hit the mobs whenever they deemed to show their presence anyway... I never tried to skill-up out in campaign either so I guess I'm not gonna miss it too much... tho ... the squishy squishy forts were nice...

The text commands "/bell" and "/bellsw" have been added.

Using the command "/bell #" (where # is a number from 1 to 8 corresponding to the notes of an octave) while equipped with a Dream Bell, Dream Bell +1, Lady Bell, or Lady Bell +1 will sound a bell noise.
The "/bellsw on" and "/bellsw off" commands will respectively toggle on or mute the sound of other players' bells.

AWESOME... another way to be annoying

The Delkfutt key may now be obtained as a Key Item.
The key item may be obtained by trading the standard Delkfutt key to any location where the key is required to gain access. After obtaining the Key Item, the standard item may be discarded with no consequences.

I it!!! I it!!! I it!!!! How many times have I tried to help someone to find they had their key in {Storage}??? YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY
/dance
/em dings his bell +1

Note that it is not possible to equip or use items directly from one's Mog Satchel, or sell them via bazaars.

... hmmm so this is still AWESOME .. just a little juggling is required... I still get out of this that the Mog Satchel contents is available while out in the field... one hopes

Game Terms 2 . . . . . .Learning (blue magic)

It's so painful they had to make a word for it... I imagine this translates as a string of profanity that would make a sailor blush.

Except for Leviathan and Odin, apparently, which are extended another 4 hours (according to the official site).

Unfortunately I still have 3:40 of download (on broadband).

Re: Version Update Details! (4/8/09)

Ok, this is full of fail. It lets me past the version check in POL about 50% of the time (with the other 50% being network busy) then right before the character select screen it throws Error codeL FFXI-3331 "The game's data has been updated. Please return to the PlayOnline FINAL FANTASY XI top page and download the latest version."

Bah, I wish they woulda kept Fort skill ups, I used to wail on a fort (along with my automaton) and go take a nap
