Grand Companies of Eorzea Page Updated! (04/17/2012) (Sanctions = ???)

[Arkine]

Something interesting in the new update to GC page.

Recent developments, however, may well warrant a weighing up anew of that assumption. Of late, the Eorzean Alliance has appreciably accelerated its activities, playing a pivotal part in the production of protectives for man and mount both. Presently, it is in the process of perfecting a progressive new method of enhancing equipment. Referred to by pertinent personnel as simply “sanction,” the method entails etching emblems of empowerment upon arms and armor in order to prime them as containers for conjurations. A custom charm is then cast upon these articles, whose efficacy is ephemerally enhanced thereby. Our sources in the Immortal Flames report that the mass manufacture of such sanctioned supplies is scheduled to commence shortly, with their arrival to the frontlines to follow closely behind.

What could this mean?~

A new sort of enchantment coming?

[kurokawa]

Sanction.

In ffxi Sanction is a beneficial status effect granted by guards in Aht Urhgan Whitegate and Al Zahbi. It allows for the gain of Imperial Standing and Crystals when fighting enemies that would normally grant experience points.

It also gives:

• Regen
• Refresh
• Increased Meal Duration

Plus exp bonus?

Something like that then?

[Munba]

Yes, maybe regard on hamlet defence.

After looking at the included picture...



I think that you might be right... though I firmly believe that we don't need any more EXP bonuses.

26th Letter from the producer, in Company System :
Exchange item buff system : Implementation of buff system for company seal exchange items

[Duuude007]

so like a merit system, where you earn seals instead of exp. interesting!

[Psion]

it mentions that the enchantment is ephemeral, which means it lasts for a short time. In other words, yes, you trade seals for buffs that last for a limited time, similar to how you traded imperial standing/campaign notes for bonus effects to your sanction/sigil.

^^ Sounds good!
