    Oh, and Strix's Chair is getting added. No idea how you'll get it.

    Rumors say it might be tied to MGP but won't cost as much as the Frostwolf Fenrir mount. Hurray for not buying the wolf and saving MGP!

    Also, it looks like the Garo gear is being permanently added to the game, as opposed to an event item.

    Also, Unbending Steel will be available as an orchestrion roll. So the storm can still rage on in your home.

    About fucking time.

    Oh that's a lot better. Can just do daily pvp or something instead of grinding.

    Also, it looks like the newest piece of old FF glamour gear is Squall's outfit. Which isn't bad as far as glamour gear goes.

    !!!!!!!

    Is this for time subbed??

  • QanamilQanamil x Registered User regular
    Yeah, looks like it's a veteran reward and the Dissidia rather than FF8 design.

  • lionheart_mlionheart_m Registered User regular
    NOOOOO....not a Veteran Reward. I'd have to pay what...200$ before I can use it.

    Silly question about Veteran Rewards.

    I still have a few months before my sub renews, but is there a way I can toss money at them and increase how much time I have subbed without having to wait for my current time to lapse? (Say if I have three months left, can I pay for a 6-month period without actually having to wait for the three months to run out first?)

    Hahaha.

    One of the new weapons is named "Darkness".

    It's the Warrior weapon.

    Well...at least it isn't ARF until I barf.

    My one big complaint about the Anima Questline is that it ruined the lv 60 roulette. ARF is just the most efficient way to get the Tomes you need. And I used to love that place but whenever I hear that music I just get bad memories nowadays.

    I can't stand the research facility. It may give any more tomes than anything else in the same roulette, but it is super long and boring, and you don't even get loot to turn in for points.

    ...and when you are done with that; take a folding
    chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.

    Apparently, the DRK anima is going to be Deathlocke or Cronus.

    Sounds appropriate.

    And the Garo DRK weapon is Hell Light.

    They did not unfortunately.

    I'd speculate that it's in reasoning crystal drops. Cutting the 40 items in half to 20 and maybe reducing the aether oil from 5 to 2-3.

    I don't know if they'll touch umbrite until February.

    I do hope that they double how much sand it gives you.

    They can come up early, but that tends to happen more often with hot fix patches than scheduled ones.

    Papalymo and Yda's buddy comedy routine doesn't do anything for me to be honest.

    If they need to kill off somebody in the lead up to Stormblood, Papalymo is probably the safest character to do it with. He's always been the one scion thats just...there.

    He's my vote for the sacrificial stormblood cliffhanger meat grinder anyway.

    1.0 sounds like it was designed by someone a lil too confident in oldschool design and lack of modern convenience in in 2010.

    Uh no. There aren't any adjustments in the queue or any that have been announced in patch notes or any other form of communication.

    There are likely to be adjustments with 3.55 as if they do what they did with 2.55 and remove the weekly limitations on gear drops plus raise the limit on the tomestones, it would hardly make sense to continue to throttle the previous relic stages. But this week? On Thursday? Nope. They make Crafting/Gathering adjustments on Thursdays to prevent anyone from missing out due to the 2 day difference between the standard weekly reset and the red scrip cycle. Not DoW/DoM. Before 3.55? Not likely

    It's been about 7 months since the Umbrite stage was released. If you did just a single expert roulette once a day, and that's it as far as gameplay goes so not even a single weekly VA/WC run, you'll have gained enough tomestones to purchase about 85 umbrites or 10 more than you actually likely need.

    That's not to say that ~75 x 300 lore for the umbrite doesn't suck. It does, but that total is not anywhere near as insurmountable as the five digit counter would suggest if you actually want to get the relic.

    To be honest, no idea. But presumably it's to space things out a little bit otherwise Tuesday would be a crazy dash to get stuff done. In any case, it allows them some warning time before they drop economy shifting stuff.

    Yes there was. Yoshida specifically said it on stream during the patch notes recital.

    They couldn't get some stuff in for the patch so they're being included as hotfixes on Thursday.

    My mistake then. That's really brand new info and it's only for the Allagan Oils. Most likely the tomestone cost for them will be reduced only.
    And the patch reading mentions that the changes were planned for 3.55 however they're pushing it earlier because people wanted it earlier. And it'll likely be next tuesday or thursday after the patch
