Items update in the morning. Expecting the new AA EV armor, kupon, and the new bench added to the sunshine seeker event.

Thanks for your work, as always!

Assuming it starts tomorrow with the usual monthly campaign, The Great Odyssey Campaign has me wanting to farm Ody A/B for Scales/Hides instead of the usual Ody C. I personally don't need the segments and with a 50% increase to segments earned across the board, it won't be far off a starter-PUG-10k run IMO. I'm looking for seasoned advice to farming either A/B with the sole purpose of maximizing rewards. Do I take in my usual Ody C setup of PLD/BLU WAR WAR COR BRD WHM? The Vana'bout campaign itself says "The number of lustreless scale boxes, lustreless hide boxes, and lustreless wing boxes acquired will be doubled." I notice this does not say LARGE LUSTRELESS boxes, and only after just reading up a bit more on Ody in general, it appears defeating a Mimic grants a LARGE box to everyone's personal pool, but assuming this campaign doesn't double those, will it be better to steer clear of a Mimic-focused strategy? For those with experience, which specific NM-pops are you popping? What is your pathing (start on higher floor and work down)?

I was recently doing a lot of Sheol A to get my Aurum Chest cost down to 10 izzat for completionism's sake. I'm not sure this is the ideal way, but I'd run 2x DD (for me DRG and WAR) 2x COR (add Gallant's and Tact plus Bolter's without sacrificing SAM or Chaos plus double Cutting Cards at the start and 2x Wild Cards), BRD, WHM. I'd start with Bolter's find the first Halo, buff at it, kill it, re-Bolters and head back to the entrance to warp to floor 3. Hunt that Halo and kill it and then Warp to floor 5. Once at floor 5 I'd try to kill everything left but making sure to hit the Halo on floor 7 if there wasn't time for the whole thing. I'd also bring materials to pop NMs, always popping floors 5, 6, 7 and opportunistically popping floor 1 and 3. I was usually getting about 1k bonus segs (so 5k total) and about 500k gil plus the 4x chests per character each run. It was fun but now I'm on the Sheol B :(

Does anyone know which abilities were being affected by Animated status before the update in Peach Power?

Glory be to the one true trust.

Not sure! //terminate still worked!

Can full clear sheol A with a group of 6. We split at 3, sending 2 DD to 4 while the rest went to 5. Songs typically on 1, 3, and 6 if you're on a good pace. Used SCH healer to facilitate splitting up, everyone takes a pack and solos it

This tagging for same account sendable items is borderline useless. Most junk drop items, consumables, mats etc are not tagged. Etched memories however are tagged. It seems the Alt flag was implemented very literally as in only for items that are not sendable to other player’s accounts but are same account sendable.

That's exactly what they said it would be

I thought we concluded it was only a 50% increase to the vortex bonus, which would be a 10% increase across the board? Did something change?

I don't know, I guess I meant across the board as all 3 zones getting the bonus. If it's only 50% to the ending bonus, that sucks!

It is at the vortex, however how they decide to apply the math makes a difference. We'll finally have the answer tomorrow.

X*1.25*1.5
X*(1.25+.125)
X*1.5

Call it 10,000 easy round number:
A) 18750
B) 13750
C) 15000
(Normal would be 12500)
Are all equally valid and equally likely.

Incase it's not clear, 10k is the run and the 8750/3750/5000 are the bonus, not 10k+10k+bonus

You are a valued member of the job community and we definitely haven't let every other job that can cure replace you WHM. What? You wanted your Prime to actually work?

/names turns off all nameplates
/names otherpc turns off all other players nameplayes but yours and npc.

This is only if you assume their English is wrong and a whole bunch of further things. +50% to the amount the vortex gives is pretty clear, since it's also doing the same for job points and scales.. it's not going to go back and calculate how many CP you earned on the run and give you extra for that.

Vortex gives 2700, for a total run of 13,500. In campaign, vortex gives (2700*1.5)4050, for a total run of 14,850. 10% gain.

Based on past *** literally nothing short of actually giving 1 million segments and cp would surprise me.

It could be anything until it's not.


This is... already exactly what it does (as I understand it anyway, literally never done it)

All cp/segs earned totaled at the vortex and given 25% bonus, then an additional 50% bonus (unclear which part of the equation 50% will apply to)

THEN SHUT THE *** UP ABOUT THINGS YOU DONT KNOW

It doesn't matter where you apply it.

10,800 segs * 1.5 -> *.25 = 4050 bonus
10,800 segs * .25 -> *1.5 = 4050 bonus

Multiplication is commutative, a 50% bonus to the amount given at the vortex is an extra 10% on the run whether it's applied to the seg count or the reward. If it were 50% on all segs throughout the run, it wouldn't just be given at the vortex.

You don't 'get' the 10,800 at the vortex. You get them throughout the run. The vortex only gives 25% of that, 2700. Thus, +50% to what the vortex gives is an extra 1350 segments. It's really not that complicated.

Just be ready to admit youre wrong in 14 hours

Whichever excuse you want to use is ok

Put some gil on it? 1bil? 2?

Heathens bet money, a gentlemens bet

And square is to much of a wildcard to bet anything on

as usual, it seems people assumed it would apply to all segs during the run, but as many have said, we'll soon find out /shrug

Bruh, where'd that confidence go?

I wouldn't risk a penny on something someone at square said, even if he chiseled that ***in stone.

This isn't square, but this recent example explains why

The associative property of multiplication always wins.

the most likely outcome is

the bonus will be 50% instead of 25%

(but at best only 34% confident vs other options)

The bonus will be applied like PLD Empyrian.
Your segments have now exploded

Update page done on BG. Looks like we are also getting new swimsuits for the next events.
