April Fool's 2025
April Fool's 2025
Lungo thesis from shami's chest gives 5k~ exemplar, basically convert 30 sacred orb to 5k exemplar, not bad
I know this is a april fool post but one thing caught my eye. They mentioned a unreleased zone..... as far as I know it has never been mentioned officially but players have found it in Dat files. Not hard to find screen shots with a Google search. Sel Phiner and in the dat mined picture there are tracks for a monorail Sel Phiner screen shots

It would be hilarious if SE had gone a step further with the shattered telepoints and made everyone walk everywhere for 24 hours... tele-taxis would be a thing again!

Phobos Orb > any BC > Shami's Key key item on clear > open any Shami chest
Each Shami's chest drops one copy of Lungo and a single currency item. So far, got three dynamis 1-denominations and 1 alexandrite. Lungo gives 4000-6000 Exemplar Points on use.
Sparkle just inside Castle Oztroja with small message and item. Got a garlic cookie.
That's most unforchy-worchy, but I am keeping my inventory +1.

Also, if there was anything in the patch notes that was real, I would have hoped for the snowboarding minigame in Ulegrand Range.... that would have been awesome to snowboard down that giant slope at the top.
Dynamis Xarcabard has a remixed (orchestrated) version of the Shadow Lord theme that sounds pretty neat.
At some point i opened a chest and it said "You cannot obtain anymore".
Instead of the thesis it gave me a jadeshell, so i thought there was a cap.
But there isnt, cause when i opened it again it gave me the thesis.
Bah

I found the Pom-Pom Fruit! You can plant your Bonanza Balls from the last Mog Bonanza Rank 4 Price (or bought for 10 Login points) in the Mog Garden. The devs are silly!

That is when the joke goes too far…
If I recall correctly they take the fake update down after April Fools so hopefully somebody is able to preserve it for posterity.

It's specifically the Record Keeper's version, if anyone else is interested.

Uhm... {Where?}
It's not the Walnut Door and it's not the Prishe in the Empyreal Paradox.

Pom-pom Fruit can now be harvested.
* When harvesting, please take care to confirm that you are harvesting an actual fruit and not the pom-pom of a sandbathing Moogle.

So much effort for such a short, soon-to-fade event.
Dunno, mixed feelings.
But I don't wanna spoil the fun for anybody so let's try to stay positive I guess!

i tried the synth. sadly they didn't add a joke item as the result. the synth simply does not exist.
also tried with astral earring just in case. nothing
edit: Pom-pom Fruit effect:
300 seconds movement speed+10% (wears off with hostile actions performed by you or that hit you)
looks like 1 second activation time.

Adding on to some of posts above about Phobos Orb and Shami's Key:
I noticed an Empy AF+1 paper (Ranger Head) is in the treasure pool and this is not mentioned as part of the currently active campaigns:
http://www.playonline.com/pcd/topics/ff11us/detail/22428/detail.html
Also, if you have a Lungo's Thesis in your inventory, Shami's Chest/Coffer/etc will only give the extra item and nothing else. (Extra item observed so far to be a dynamis single piece, or alexandrite).
If you happen to be capped exemplar points at ML50, then you will be unable to use your Lungo'S Thesis. (No display of "earns 0 exemplar points", like other currencies).

Does this have a unique slot? Like it can stack with Bolters or Jig? Might be useful in Haunt scenarios

Didn't know you can buy bonanza ball from log in bonus moogle now, this is in a way a monkey paw situation for me. I've been wanting for SAM to have a throwable ammo like dart for the longest time for segfarm, and now SAM finally have one but it's bonanza ball.
Guess I know what I'm spending my log in points from now on, I hope they keep it on the log in bonus items.

I see it the other way, honestly. If they're willing to insert this many things for April fools, they clearly have someone who is getting comfortable with a few aspects of the codebase. I would interpret it to mean that prior lack of content is due to lack of man hours or the need to familiarize new staff with the codebase, rather than them inserting a ton of man-hours for April fools.
I'd call it a good sign.

You lose your tp when you swap to these though. It'd be nice to have an all jobs "Dart" with low delay & ammo slot that we can throw to quickly pull and preserve our tp

Really hope you're right on this.
Given how you very often are right, I hope this won't be the one time when you're not! :-P

Anyone know if the Cheese sandwich does anything useful? I saw it can be used in place of gil in some shops. makes me curious to see where that can be traded.
