[Forturyino]

• New battle content known as Incursion has been added.

  

  • What is Incursion?
    Incursion is difficult battle content in which Vana’diel’s most daring adventurers strike into the heart of the Velkk kingdom deep within Marjami Ravine. Vanquishing the fiends found within will reward the players with spoils, experience points, and capacity points. Fulfilling certain prerequisites and reattempting the battle will further increase the difficulty of the monsters appearing within, providing a level of challenge that surpasses even the most frightening of Delve content.
  • Requirements
    • Have installed and registered the Seekers of Adoulin expansion pack
    • Be of level 95 or above
    • Be in a party comprised of between three and eighteen players
    • The party or alliance leader must be in possession of a Velkk Fetish key item.
  • Joining the Fray
    Challengers can test their mettle against the Velkk by examining the Weathered Canvas in Marjami Ravine (I-11) once all party and alliance members possess velkk fetishes. These fetishes can be procured from the corpses of Velkk skulking about the ravine.

    

    Monster HP within Incursion will increase proportionally for each player over six.
  • Tackling the Beasts
    Incursion battles have a forty-five minute time limit. Defeating the fiends within will reward the victors with experience, capacity points, and specially-named treasure coffers. Furthermore, besting NMs will also yield special key items.
  • Specially-named Treasure Coffers
    Subjugating monsters within incursion will occasionally provide players with specially-named coffers. Opening one of these chests, which automatically appear in all party and alliance members’ inventories, will yield materials, equipment, and other items.
    * At least one free inventory space is required to open these coffers, and different players may receive different items.
  • Key items obtained from NMs
    Six notorious monsters exist within Incursion, and defeating them will yield special key items for each party and alliance member.
    
    Collecting a full set of six and trading them to Grrk-Frut the Charlatan in Marjami Ravine (I-11) will raise the difficulty counter on the party/alliance leader’s next Incursion by one. As the difficulty rises, capacity point gains and the likelihood of receiving specially-named coffers increase.

    

    Additionally, when a party/alliance leader enters an incursion with these key items, they are able to use Rusted Transmitters stationed within the Velkk’s lair. These transmitters can teleport the party/alliance between the entrances and the various NMs’ abodes.

    

    *When an incursion is about to take place, the content level will be displayed in the chat log to all party/alliance members.
    *If the party/alliance leader goes on an incursion with a lower content level, no key items can be obtained from defeating NMs.
    *Content levels that were raised by Grrk-Frut the Charlatan in Marjami Ravine can be lowered by Veldeth in the area’s frontier station (L-7). The content level may not go lower than 123.

• Surge Walks and Endowed Walks have been added to Walk of Echoes.

  

  • Surge Walks
    Surge walks are existing walks retooled for content level 119. Clearing these walks yields capacity points and higher level versions of existing Walk of Echoes equipment.
    • Participating in a Surge Walk
      Clearing an existing walk has a chance to cause that walk to enter surge mode.
      
      Players can interact with the newly placed Echo Disseminator located near the entrance to check whether or not a particular walk is in surge mode. Additionally, the content level is now displayed in the log window upon entering a walk that is in surge mode.
      
      As is the case with ordinary walks, players must possess a Kupofried's medallion to participate.
    • Ending a Surge Walk
      Clearing a surge version of a walk will reset it to its ordinary state. Furthermore, if a battle does not start within 50 minutes (Earth time) of the time the walk converted, it will revert to an ordinary walk.
  • Endowed Walks
    In an endowed walk, players currently participating in a battle and those that enter afterwards receive a staggering amount of temporary items in addition to a bonus to their post-victory evaluations.
    
    • Participating in an Endowed Walk
      Vanquishing monsters or striking at their leaders’ weak points has a chance of triggering an endowed walk.
      
      Players can interact with the newly placed Echo Disseminator located near the entrance to check whether or not a particular walk is endowed.
    • Ending an Endowed Walk
      An endowed walk will end either when the battle ends or when no more players remain inside.
  • Checking a Walk’s Status
    Players can interact with the Echo Disseminator located near the entrance to check whether or not a particular walk is endowed or in surge mode.

    
    

    A filled-in star (★) means that the walk is in surge mode or endowed, whereas a blank star (☆) means that it is not. The percentage value indicates the odds that the next walk will be of the type in question. Clearing a walk raises this percentage.
    The Echo Disseminator will also teleport players to the Veridical Confluxes of each appropriate walk and inform players of whether or not there is ongoing combat.

• Capacity points can now be earned from the treasure coffers that appear after clearing the following battlefields requiring either microcosmic or macrocosmic orbs:
  • Macrocosmic Orb

  • Dragoon

    

    • As a wyvern’s level rises, the dragoon’s physical attack and defense will increase, and the player also receives a haste effect.
      Physical attack and defense has increased by 4% for each wyvern level up to a cap of 20%, and the haste effect has increased by 2% per level up to a cap of 10%.
      These benefits are only conferred while the player’s wyvern is active. If the wyvern falls in battle or is dismissed, the benefits are lost.
      
      Owing to this adjustment, the physical attack and defense bonus conferred by the Spirit Surge ability has been changed to 25%.
