Patch notes: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/62601

Will post anything new in the morning. Maintenance not supposed to be over until 4AM eastern.

Thank you for your hard work, Funk. Also, please keep us posted on the honey/syrup harvest as well. ^^

The Macro Test changes are like... irrelevant?
Everyone groaned at the dummies but I personally found them useful to practice timing, distances, etc. The people who want them to be stat analysis tools aren't understanding why they were put into the game imo.

I still wish they had put some sort of questline around them tho.



Maple Syrup*

The most dreadful moment for Eirynil

30 minute extension

So they aren't adding Limbus this month right?

Not coming until like june or something, I'm afraid

Delicious.

So just a heads up, this update reset the bonus exemplar campaign. 500k more bonus exemplar to be gained in the next 3 days.

No way that was intentional, incoming emergency maint.

Just confirming this, I'd used all of my bonus EP prior to update.

Wait, are we done with login campaigns?

It seems more likely they are going to add new Homam/Enif, Nashira/Adhara sets than they are AF+4?

Gear for THF+DRG+PLD+DRK is always welcome. WAR MNK SAM don't need anything more!

Gear for DRK is always welcome, DRK doesn't need anything more.

So I've turned in a few random items (the skirmish stuff I think) but I could only get the first voidwatch items, so I started farming 198 crystal petrifacts thinking perhaps I need to have everything in order...but apparently its a bug?

Both of these statements are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

I mean to write WAR MNK SAM haha

55 gallons made this year! If anyone is interested, itll be a little more than usual for shipping/packaging.

Quarts usually run for $20 in person, i think $30 will work for that.

Pints run for $12, we can do $18 for those.

Updating the wiki now

In my head cannon, you're updating the maple syrup wiki.

No, you cannot change my mind about this.

Are those prices before shipping? I imagine shipping will vary a lot depending where the person is.

I like the page it conveys the changes well.

You are correct, because theres nothing to update on BG lol...

That is what I can send them for after shipping. Unless its international or Alaska/Hawaii, which would be a fortune lol.

I hate how they won't give us any information at all about the race change option.

It's because Bastok is consulting with CECOT on how to stop any galkan folks from changing race to escape the mines.

What are you quoting here? Is this a wish list?

Also no attributes.

Just what he would envision a new Homam set would look like. Though the legs losing 2 FC would be odd. I don't think they would magically jump to +3, since the ambu set is Ayanmo has a completely different set of jobs except BLU.

I still don't understand why they were put in the game. How can you test the timing on your macros if all you know is that the macro did a thing, but can't see whether it did the thing in the correct set? That's why I want to see damage numbers - the very specific thing I wish I'd had these for in the past would be figuring out the timing required to swap idle to blood pact delay to blood pact damage, and I can only see the results of one part of that equation with targets that don't take damage.

I mean I guess I can just do the same test with buffs and duration, but then... where does having a test dummy come into that?
