i was just about to post this... i dont think anyone sees it becuase of where its located in POL itself lol.

Aye, typing it all out was kinda annoying, but anything to spread the info!

But they already did give frayed pouches sometimes...

Still no level floor for Abyssea.

Yah, IDK what they were talking on there, said ""Frayed pouch" Item" exactly, So IDK, Maybe an increase and they miss-worded it.

Repop delays for NM's will be shortened... 2h repop on fafnir?

No. That is under the changes to abyssea section.

Heqet will now have a 21-24 hour repop....

Gah.

I must have the OP Blocked.

Anyone mind reposting the link?

Thanks.

Inside Abyssea onry :(

the * indicated new adjustments to same event to follow, the - indicates specifics.

I should specify that more.

Good stuff.

I think thats for Abyssea only.

Yes sir

<3

Theres no option to "unblock" someone is there? We might as well quote it for her to be nice.

coin adjustment will be made in woe.

A huge plus, but still glad i finished mine b4 the update bc now it will be even more flocked when the time comes lol

The bolded ones make me moist :D

Hey Karby, mind if I post this in the pre-update dat mining thread I just made?

Go right ahead.

I hope the numbers for WS trials will be reduced... will make them *less* tedious...Oh never mind its just for mythics & relics o.-

Yes to Dynamis! maybe I will finally get Wyrm Armet after 2 years!

Too bad I wont enjoy the new stuff at first, gotta level the subs to 45 bah!

Meh. We never have problems getting relic/accessories. They drop like candy when we go in. there's even a running joke about the "Complimentary Corsair Hat" in Xarc, since like the first 5 mobs we kill seem to drop 1 or 2.

That SHOULD have read is "The Level of the Mobs have been adjusted in Dynamis"

Making it somewhat of a challenge again :(

One pro to maats cap, not having to level sub jobs ever. (outside of ToAu/Wotg jerbs)

Also, I might do a Dynamis beauc for the lulz, i need to finish some sets :P

I like!

Meh alot of them already did. And they announce the feet armor thing a long time ago in one of premiere site interviews

Yeah it already rains in dynamis for us.. we almost had a RDM hat and THF gloves go freelot dead serious lol. But still a welcome change along with TH+ enhancements.

- Trigger conditions for certain NMs will be eased

I wonder which ones this refers to... I'm thinking Iratham family?

I would say probably over 1/2 of people never want to do Dynamis again so I very much like this update.

As for the easing of certain trigger conditions, I wonder if they will reduce the number of KI's needed for certain NM's, make the Caturaes pop more often, or just change the Iron Giants' regular swings from TP moves to melee.

Thought that too, also thought maybe they were easing up triggering "!!" on mobs like Iron Giants, while not difficult, cleary more annoying.

However, My first thought was definitely "Caturae" family spawning more often.

Even though they spawn pretty frequently.

Yes, a lot of Abyssites drop to Alliance. But some don't, like the one from Bhumi or Mananananagal. The whole "puller only" receiving Abyssite was dumb to begin with; glad they're fixing it.
And yes, I'm aware that a developer Q&A interview hinted @ increased AF3 feet drop rate from Pyxis, but hey, it's nice to see it confirmed/official.

I think Iratham still has yet to pop on some servers.

Hopefully it's referring to Iron Giants, too.

edit: wait, now I see what you're saying. You're interpreting "trigger conditions" to mean spawn conditions. That very well could be right.
I was reading this as "trigger conditions" meaning activating !! on certain NMs ... and the Iron Giant swing/stomp = "TP move" is what I was thinking might get adjusted.
