Yup…I’m at the point in this game where I don’t have much to do. I’m not doing anything hardcore since I’m not raiding Coil, but my gear is overqualified for everything else, so I end up sitting around in Mor Dhona helping people with Titan HM runs. I suppose I could level a craft.

J.D · October 15, 2013, 4:14am

will the free trials be expanded for the time it will be offline?

Combo_Knight · October 15, 2013, 4:58am

wow, So after I openly state on chat, that I no longer want the ifrit weapon, and that the drop for that is fucking stupid. I get the weapon in one try.

Thanks for the help yall.

I hate fate grinding so much.

Patch 2.05

-Changes will be made to the way equipment is bound.
-Introducing additional servers and enhancements to act as a countermeasure against the congestion to enter “Amdapor Keep.” (MUCH needed still)
-The difficulty for level 50 dungeons will be adjusted. (They also talked about improving things so there’s reasons to kill trash mobs but provided no details yet.)
-The number of areas where you can acquire Allagan Tomestones of Philosophy and Mythology will be increased as well as the amount you can acquire. (CAN I GET AN AMEN!?!)
-Implementation of a population cap for each field (This is actually coming on October 11th and details have yet to be released. This kind of sounds like population control for FATEs though.)
-Adjustments to the spawn rate of monsters that drop diremite web and additional locations where Karakul can be found. (READ: “Holy Crap we didn’t expect them to be farmed this much )
-The amount of experience points that can be acquired on botanist and miner, as well the experience points that can be acquired from their fieldcraft leves, will be increased. (Welcome news to a ton of players, incidentally Fishing will remain as is…because it’s awesome)
-User interface elements related to materia and target information will be adjusted.
-Bug where the Duty Finder places you in a group that has completed the dungeon will be fixed.

servers down for maintenance did anyone put starcat on suicide watch yet?

Combo_Knight · October 15, 2013, 8:44am

Starcat will be okay, there’s always the lodestone

Awesomersaur · October 15, 2013, 1:38pm

The two tried and tested techniques for getting a drop that you need is to; Give up all hope, or blood sacrifice.

budgetDUDE · October 15, 2013, 5:26pm

^ thats how I got mine… Cut myself by accident the night prior and woke up, did Ifrit, and there it was!

Oh wait… I wasn’t a sacrifice… Oh well I got mine anyway

Combo_Knight · October 15, 2013, 5:28pm

So, i’m looking over the patch notes, And from what I’m seeing CM is now no longer a beneficial run as opposed to other stages?

Biggest take-away is that server transfers are open tomorrow until the 21st.

kro · October 15, 2013, 5:47pm

AK 100/40
WP 100/30
Garuda HM 15/10
Titan HM 20/15

Mobs in AK, WP, CM, and Prae drop gil netting ~3k per run.
You can’t run behind those gate guards before the first two bosses in CM anymore.

NinetiesArcade · October 15, 2013, 6:01pm

Will wait abit for the server transfer as I’m sure it’ll be a clusterf$CK in the first few weeks. Anyways, dinged 500k on the money front since some ah junk finally sold and capped Blacksmithing and burning leves for botany.

For anyone considering transferring, be aware that early reports are saying it can take up to several days to complete the transfer.

Also it appears Dark Devices was nerfed hard.

budgetDUDE · October 15, 2013, 7:04pm

Finally! Pet class is gonna be more useable!
Thank goodness they did up the Gil drop on dungeons. Regarding Tomes, I kind of wish the limit would be raised, but I guess 300 is the magic number

toddler316 · October 15, 2013, 7:09pm

That’s just myth tomes, the magic weekly number seems 6ak 2wp which is fine as i will never run another CM again god willing.
Prat tho if we wanna speed run that a bit i’m game.

Otherwise ya’ll better prepair to ride the tonberry knife.

budgetDUDE · October 15, 2013, 7:34pm

Umm Tonberry is cake compared to the dreaded blob thing you face before hand.

Edit: looks like its time to mine and chop trees!!

Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks (west of The Hyaline)
Ul’dah Steps of Thal (at the fountain in Gold Court)

J.D · October 15, 2013, 8:10pm

Ey so what happened to the PvP, I though it was going to be patched in, but it doesn’t seem like it will happen anytime soon.
