Oh Sweet Mother Of Pearl - May Update

we can skill up on recipes 10 levels below our current level!!!!!!!

this needs to be tested. im not sure im reading this correctly

That's what it says - if you can get to 100 you can get to 110. You get to 110 and you get to 110, everyone gets to 110!

So much for sense of accomplishment, I'd rather have them increase synth material availability on current synths.

Don't like that at all.. one of the few things crafting had left was getting to 110 wasn't cheap and took time to gather materials..

I'm 109 Cloth and was saving up to do foppish tunicas (3.4m / synth) and VERY slowly obtaining bztavian wings. Oh well :(

Anyone found any new recipes?

yep and it dose work crafting 96 craft atm and im 100 and skilling up

Way to ***on one of the last good features of being a high level crafter.

When I moved my Dream Hat +1 into my Mog Safe 2, my buff timer plugin freaked and 4 rows of buff timers appeared. Now I've got 2-4 rows of timers for buffs that aren't there. They sit at 484:5X seconds, depending on zoning or logging. Sitting at about 1.5 rows and 484:52 atm. Possibly has something to do with items that have timers on them.

Sorry didn't notice this was posted in the Crafter's Crib section.

Bah, I as well.

Goes also for making mythics and relics. I am sure everything that had a "sense" of accomplishment just vanished!

Sorry, what changed? You still have to complete all 50 assaults, get captain, finish ToAU, kill Odin, kill the beastmen leaders, kill the Salvage Bosses, get 100k Ichor, 150k Tokens, redo all 50 assaults, and get 30k Alex.

NONE of the requirements have changed. The ONLY thing that changed is that they are no longer behind HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE time gates. Now, if someone says, "I'd like to sit down and do 10 assaults today in the time I have to play", they can. Or "I'd like to spend 4 hours of my day running 3 salvages", they can.

If you're gonna *** about anything, *** about making the assaults and Nyzul easier.

Relic Holders don't even get to say anything about Dynamis, considering how unspecial relics are these days. Having a relic is no longer "wow, how awesome, that's so hard to get", it's now "wow, that person spent 80 million gil buying currency out of people's bazaars".

To reiterate: Getting a mythic has not been "hard" or "challenging" for some time now. Getting a relic hasn't been for even longer.

The thing that so many people think of as what makes them "difficult", "hard", or "challenging" is not the difficulty of the content, nor the amount of content that must be done. It's the "we want to stretch this ***out as long as possible so LoL enjoy only being able to do X once a day."

Also, considering how many mythics there are on my server right now that were cheated in while infinite assault tags was a thing, and repopping the HQ bosses to walk out of a salvage with 30-40 linens, the only thing this is doing is putting legitimate players on the same footing as clipper-using, packet-injecting exploiters who cheat to get all the "challenging" content and then bemoan that there's nothing left to do.

Kind of a let down since I already have every craft 105+ :/

That doesn't affect the income of legitimate players, though.

Solo players have nothing to fall back on for making money. Solo players also account for a majority of the playerbase considering there's no one to play with anymore and hasn't been for many, many months.

Why don't all these solo players just team up?

Frankly I spent a ton of time and gil for my one mythic and I feel like these KI cheapen the hell out of it. It makes me wish I had cheated to get mythics.

Speaking of mythics, the increase in supply of alexandrite is going to cause an inevitable price drop. We can argue all day about whether or not this is a good thing, but the already large gap between mythics and ergon weapons in terms of price is about to get larger. I suppose this applies to empyrean weapons as well. It makes me wonder how SE is going to address this, unless the "Addition of items for sale by moogles located in the three nations" already does.

I just might resubscribe for a bit.

Eh, i'm 90% done making Ryunohige, and this doesn't bother me at all. This just means I'll actualy consider making a 2nd mythic. Most of what i have left is tag related and i can finish in a few days instead of a month now.

Mythics have been getting easier for a while, this just removes the gate on some of the easier parts. Removing the 3 man minimum for salvage and assault was a bigger, more drastic change imo.




Why did the Scorpion sting the Frog?

I also think a lot of people are going to start collecting their 30k alex some time in the next month, for the mythic they just decided their finally going to make. Don't be surprised if the price goes up.

I'm curious, does the Dynamis adjustment mean you can do Dyna as much as you want or just able to re-enter if you die or something like that?

No cooldown on re-entry. You still have to get the time extensions every time, etc.

It could, but I doubt it. An increase in supply wouldn't be the driving factor for increased demand. A decrease in price would be, though. It might suffer at first because of all the idiots who spend craploads of gil after a new update, but it never stays that way for long.

They probably argue that the ergon weapons are so strong that the scarcity is still justified - but maybe by the third rhapsody they will address that.

Interesting. I do say it's kinda shitty for the crafters but I agree with the changes to Assaults and Einherjar. Those wait times should've been lowered a long time ago.

anyone seen the...Lists?

Job points have undergone the following additions and adjustments.
New job point categories have been added.
New gifts have been added.

Wanted to make sure I'm reading this right, but for the no cool down timers on Salvage/Dynamis/Assaults, this is only possible via a new KI or is it already system/server wide benefit we all get?

KI rewards from the Rhapsodies missions. And there's still a cooldown on Salvage, one hour. (Assault is technically ten minutes, but that barely counts).

I've heard it's KI on BG - "Rhapsodies in Azure." No idea what's involved in getting it, though.


Edit:
From the "trailer is live" thread:

Anyone experiencing terrible download times? Looks like I have 8h left. Already been downloading for almost 2h. Speeds as though I have dial-up in spite of having fiber optic.
