Super Kupowers

[Okipuit]

Hey, Kupo!

The Development Team is currently making progress on combining the “Mystery Boxes” super kupower effects, which should be implemented in the next version update.
With that said, that leaves 3 spots to fill with new super kupowers! We have been looking into what kind of effects we can add, and as a result of our discussions we’ve narrowed it down to 4 possibilities:

Double duration of food effects
Double the amount of conquest points received
Crystals will be dropped in beastmen controlled areas
Shops that sell San d’Oria/Bastok/Windurst specific items will sell them full-time

Let us know which of the above are your top 3 choices!

[detlef]

Please do not choose #3.

[Tamoa]

My 3 would be

1. Double the amount of CP received.
2. Shops that sell San d'Oria/Bastok/Windurst specific items will sell them full-time.
3. ???

Edited because I really don't care one bit which of the remaining 2 gets picked as the 3rd one.

[Sapphire]

I will put ALL THREE of my votes to #2. Put in the mix three times even. zomg I need conquest points if I'm ever gonna leave Windy...

Edit: Someone did point out to me the food one is nice for skill-ups... so I guess that's throw TWO of my votes to CP. :o

[Alpheus]

1. Double CP
2. Shop one
3.Food Duration

[Komori]

1. 2. 4.

No one wants anymore damn crystals. They're just inventory cloggers.

[Mnejing]

Another vote for 1, 2, and 4.

[Lukikii]

1, 2 and 4

[Muras]

If we have no choice but to pick only those four, then I'd definately say 1, 2, and 4. There are plenty of ways to obtain crystals, and the best ways don't even involve killing regular monsters. In fact, it'd be awesome if SE added the option of turning off crystal drops entirely when you have Signet/Sigil/Sanction active, heh.

[Xilk]

2
4
1
in that order.

[Economizer]

Double duration of food effects
Double the amount of conquest points received
Shops that sell San d’Oria/Bastok/Windurst specific items will sell them full-time


Crystals are nice but anyone who wants them can farm in Sky or from other sources of elementals.

[Luvbunny]

1,2, and 4. Finally some good news and great ideas, a breath of fresh air after the deluge of idiotic response from the developer bros in Japan.

[SpankWustler]

Best: 2. Double the amount of conquest points received
Second Best: 1. Double duration of food effects
Still Good: 4. Shops that sell San d’Oria/Bastok/Windurst specific items will sell them full-time

[Tamarsamar]

Again, 1, 2, 4.

But just the fact that you're finally combining all three of those dumb Mystery wasted-Super-Kupower-Slots into only one power instead of four is amazing news in and of itself.

[Hashmalum]

2, 2, 2. Oh, they can't all be the same? Then 2, 1, 4. In that order. If I may suggest a completely new power, though, I would suggest increased seal/geode drop rates.

[Daniel]

Is there a particular reason they have to be replaced?

[Mirabelle]

First off: either put decent stuff in the mystery boxes or eliminate them as an option. All four of your suggested kupopowers are superior to the "increase mystery box" super powers.
Secondly: 1,2 and 4 are the best choices IMO
Thirdly: the crystal option should be to make them drop of mobs that don't get xp. Or better yet make a power that drops geodes off mobs that don't give xp so I can at least hunt flame geodes in valkurm dunes.

[Phafi]

1, 2, and 4

[Trisscar]

Option 5: Magic skill up bonus.

[Malthar]

How about auto-reraise?

[Mirage]

Double food effect duration
Double conquest point gain
Shops sell nation-specific items full-time

Larger font size signifies greater importance.

At the same time, wouldn't it be cool if the conquest NPCs suddenly had some new and fancy items we could spend our CP on? That would be fabulous.

[Daniel_Hatcher]

Double duration of food effects
Double the amount of conquest points received
Shops that sell San d’Oria/Bastok/Windurst specific items will sell them full-time


Crystals can be easily farmed in Sky, so please not them.

[kallika]

How about triple the conquest points received?

[Theytak]

Again, 1, 2, 4.

But just the fact that you're finally combining all three of those dumb Mystery wasted-Super-Kupower-Slots into only one power instead of four is amazing news in and of itself.
This. So many times over, this. 1, 2, 4.


Is there a particular reason they have to be replaced?

because getting the same power in all three slots is really, really aggravating, especially since the mystery boxes powers are absolutely useless for anything except being helpful grinding GoV chests.

[Treefiddy]

I vote numbers 2, 1, and 4 in that order.

[Tile]

1, 2 and 4, anyone that wants crystals can just kill elementals

[Kari]

I don't really care for any of these powers.
Obviously 3 sucks.

I'd like to see a power that brings us more seals/geodes/etc.
2x Conquest Points means almost nothing, since you get VERY LITTLE CP from anything we do these days. This might have been nice when people actually did exp parties in normal zones. [You get so little exp/mob in page parties that the amount of CP you get is ridiculously low.]

[Antanias]

Option 5: Regain 1TP/tic up to 50% >_>

Otherwise, 2 --> 1 --> 4

[Ophannus]

How about replacing:

Crystals will be dropped in beastmen controlled areas


with something actually useful like:

Seals and geodes will drop more often. (Enhances the drop rate of Geodes/Seals and Avatarites so that more than one of any time can drop in a shorter timeframe. As of now only a seals share the same pool and geodes/avarites share the same pool, only from each pool can drop every 3 minutes for each party in the alliance. This was test/confirmed before. If you're solo you want see more than 1 seal or geode per 3-5min or so, no matter how many mobs you kill you can't seem to bypass this time constraint. Probably built this way to prevent massive AoE burning of seals back at low level cap, now it's simply a nuissance.

[Mirage]

Holy moly, if "increased beastmen's seal/kindred's seal drop rate" was an option, I'd put that for all three kupowers.

Especially new players (yes, they exist) are having problems getting a significant amount of bseals/kseals these days, because leveling is so fast. I know a new guy who's gotten one job to 85 and another to 70 without leeching for a second, and still doesn't have enough seals to do a single bcnm40 to get a very needed utsu ni scroll. Increased bseal drop rate would help these a lot.

[Elexia]

Double duration of food effects
Double the amount of conquest points received
Shops that sell San d’Oria/Bastok/Windurst specific items will sell them full-time


Crystals can be easily farmed in Sky, so please not them.

Poor new players, they have to get to sky in order to reliably farm crystals.

[Mirage]

Idk, i'm getting crystals out the wazoo without going to sky too. You end up with tons of them from doing magian trials.

[Zirael]

My three top choices:


Double duration of food effects
Double the amount of Beastmen Seals and Kindred Seals dropped
Magic skillup rate +

[Theytak]

Poor new players, they have to get to sky in order to reliably farm crystals.

Ice/Dark elementals can be found in the northlands no problem, Wind, Earth, Thunder, and Water, are absolutely everywhere; that leaves fire and light, which are both admittedly obnoxious, but there are plenty of fire crystal mobs in areas that are absolutely never under beastmen control, and light crystals are a bitch to farm whether you have sky or not.

Besides, since when was getting sky access difficult?

Edit: also yea, I'm gonna join in the voting for boosted seal/geode drop rate as an alternative, so that, doubled CP, and the Vendor one, because I'm a crafter and it's always obnoxious getting mats for GP items when conquest lets you down.

[Khiinroye]

2. Double the amount of conquest points received
4. Shops that sell San d’Oria/Bastok/Windurst specific items will sell them full-time
1. Double duration of food effects

These are the correct choices.

Edit: I'm assuming that #4 is the shop inventory that is based on conquest standing. Perhaps this could be expanded to include having all regional vendors open as well?

[Kaisha]

1. Swift Shoes
2. Swift Shoes
3. Swift Shoes


Now we'll have four chance of being able to get quickening weekly.

[Gaspee]

1, 2, 4. No particular order.

[Meyi]

As a crafter I have to say number 4 is the most important to me. 1 and 2 are also great.

[Sapphire]

Mystery boxes helps TONS when farming the rare GOV items. Hence I like that it's still there - just now for most everywhere!

[Xerius]

If #1 stacks with Sanction and/or Sigil it would be amazing! As per I'd say #1, #2 and #4 because I don't think there's really big server wide lack of crystals and #3 just doesn't even compare to the other 3 possibilities in my opinion. I mean #3 might add 1 extra stack of crystals to the AH if that considering most people that farm crystals farm elementals which drop clusters regardless of whether they're in beastman controlled areas or not.

[Demon6324236]

1, 2, 4. No particular order.I agree with the above

[Mirage]

Also, considering aht urhgan also is pretty abandoned these days, I suggest that kupowers should extend to those areas as well. Another idea could be to let signet gain the same effects as sanction in addition to the effects signet already offers, and perhaps give all the signet effects to sanction as well. Maybe increased food duration from sanction shouldn't stack with the coming kupower, though. 2 hours duration from a 30 minute food item might be a bit too much.

[Merton9999]

1,2,4 if it has to be those. My preference would be faster skill up rates and higher geode drop rates.

[Daniel_Hatcher]

Poor new players, they have to get to sky in order to reliably farm crystals.

Seeing as how it can be done uncapped it's really nothing hard now.

Besides, we coped before. It's rare for areas to not be under control by one nation anyway.

[Demon6324236]

If #1 stacks with Sanction and/or Sigil it would be amazing!

Wouldn't be possible. Mogpowers are only active for you under the effect of Signet, where as Sigil & Sanction do not stack with Signet, neither would this effect.

[Tamarsamar]

Wouldn't be possible. Mogpowers are only active for you under the effect of Signet, where as Sigil & Sanction do not stack with Signet, neither would this effect.

True it wouldn't be possible, but you listed false reasons.

Only three Super Kupowers require Signet: Martial Mastery, Blood of the Vampyr, and Treasure Hound. However, Super Kupowers are only ever active in what might be considered "Signet areas." This means no Kupowers in the Near East, nor any in the past (the Explorer Moogle in Ru'Lude Gardens even gives you a strange look if you ask whether Super Kupowers go back in time).

[Raini]

Double the amount of conquest points received
Shops that sell San d’Oria/Bastok/Windurst specific items will sell them full-time
Double duration of food effects

[Zuidar]

I'd pick 1 2 and 4.

Also regarding the Mystery Boxes, they should also expand it to include the region of Tu'Lia, although I don't know any reason why Tu'Lia doesn't get any benefits from the Mystery Boxes even though Caskets exist there.

[Muse]

One, Two, and Four.

[Duvemora]

4: Shops that sell San d’Oria/Bastok/Windurst specific items will sell them full-time
1: Double duration of food effects
2: Double the amount of conquest points received

[Nala]

i vote for NOT 3, by comparison 1, 2 and 4 are superior in my opinion.

[Demon6324236]

True it wouldn't be possible, but you listed false reasons.

Only three Super Kupowers require Signet: Martial Mastery, Blood of the Vampyr, and Treasure Hound. However, Super Kupowers are only ever active in what might be considered "Signet areas."

And Swift Shoes, and Artisans Advantage, they don't work without Signet either so far as I know, or at least I never seem to get their effects without it : / either way the point was it wouldn't be possible to stack them sadly.

[Deathbeckons]

2>1>3 would be my preference.

[Tamarsamar]

And Swift Shoes, and Artisans Advantage, they don't work without Signet either so far as I know, or at least I never seem to get their effects without it : / either way the point was it wouldn't be possible to stack them sadly.

I may be mixing it up with another power, but I think I've gotten the benefit of Swift Shoes without Signet before.

ADD: And if memory serves, Artisan's Advantage requires Image Support to work, not Signet.

[Kyrial]

1, 2, 4, in that order.

[Alistaire]

Again, 1, 2, 4.

But just the fact that you're finally combining all three of those dumb Mystery wasted-Super-Kupower-Slots into only one power instead of four is amazing news in and of itself.

Um... Mystery boxes are pretty much the most relevant kupower at this time. After that probably the TH+1 one (which wouldn't be first due to the negligible difference between TH3 and anything higher) and then Swift Shoes.

[Alistaire]

I'd pick 1 2 and 4.

Also regarding the Mystery Boxes, they should also expand it to include the region of Tu'Lia, although I don't know any reason why Tu'Lia doesn't get any benefits from the Mystery Boxes even though Caskets exist there.

Pretty sure this was false information. Did a Qilin run there the other day with Mystery Boxes: Frontier Lands up and there were a ton more boxes from weapons than any other time.

[Sp1cyryan]

Personally I pick

Shops that sell San d’Oria/Bastok/Windurst specific items will sell them full-time
Double duration of food effects
Crystals will be dropped in beastmen controlled areas

Being a cook I can easily say shops selling those goods full time be the best thing ever. I assume this means the regional venders you need control over, but I could be wrong. Either way the other alternative to that guess is Sandy will always have maple sugar in stock when we have the sandy boxes effect.

[Behemothx]

1, 2, 4

1234567890

[Rosina]

how about this as a suggestion.

why not make the first 3 kupo powers. Then add the 4th as a full time change to the game as a whole. I think that would be more benificial to the game and its players.

[Trisscar]

Idiots, going along with Square's suggestions for this topic. Support option 5. Support faster magic skill ups.

[Demon6324236]

Reason they are adding any at all I think is because they want to keep the same number of powers, however they could combine more powers like TH+Mystery Boxes, or they could do something else like AA+MM...

[Raksha]

1/2/4

10char

[SharMarali]

A few things:

First of all, among the choices given, I, too, am voting for 1, 2, and 4.

As many other players have stated, crystals are an inventory clog when you're killing enemies in fields/dungeons. Generally speaking, those who want crystals will farm them via other means. No one wants more crystals to drop off regular enemies.

Second, I am curious as to whether the proposed "double conquest points received" will stack with "Moghancement: Conquest" and the related Conquest Moghancements for specific nation-controlled regions. If so, would the doubling be applied before or after Moghancement effect?

Third, while we're talking about kupopowers, is there any possibility of getting a magic skill up kupopower or adding magic skill ups to Martial Mastery? It seems... IMBALANCED... that combat skill ups are represented in a kupopower and magic skill ups are not.

[Mayoyama]

^This

As for voting, 2, 1, 4 please

[Iceni]

4. Shops that sell San d’Oria/Bastok/Windurst specific items will sell them full-time
1. Double duration of food effects
5. Magic Mastery<----------------Yes, please!

4 & 1 are time and gil savers for crafters. I won't need to go to ToAU or the past to get sanction or sigil food support to make kitron macrons or rusks to last twice as long when doing mass crafting. Add "Artisan Advantage" and you get supreme crafting support!

[Eric]

1 and 2 (|Yes, please.|)

[Kraggy]

4, 1, 2 .

[Zhronne]

Please do not choose #3.
^ please!


My choices would be 1, 2 and 4, they would be awesome for sure.

[Kristal]

4 and 2 at the very least. I'm split between 1 and 3. 1 is already available from several sources on demand, while 3 could be usefull. Can't do wrong with more crystals, even if just to feed the synergy furnaces.

So I guess I go with 4,2,3 (in that order)

[Unaisis]

All SE sees is everyone saying "OMG #3!!!!!! PLEASE #3!!!! DONT ADD ANYTHING ELSE!!! JUST 3!!!!!!"

[deces]

As for “Mystery Boxes” super kupower effect could you please get rind of Meds in the boxes, I think all alchemists would agree.
Also please add Caskets to CoP, ToAH and WotG zones.

[Tyrion]

2, 4, 1, in that order plz

[Lynchilles]

1,2,4 respectively

[Aarahs]

1, 2, 4 for here. If I want crystals, I'll farm clusters.

[Mirage]

As for “Mystery Boxes” super kupower effect could you please get rind of Meds in the boxes, I think all alchemists would agree.
Also please add Caskets to CoP, ToAH and WotG zones.
Agreed. All nonabyssea areas should get caskets, as well as field manuals and ground tomes.

Except maybe a few places where it would be dumb to find tomes and manuals, such as in a different dimension where gray mindless monsters walk around and the ground is being eaten away by emptiness. In other CoP areas such as lufaise however, there should definitely be field manuals.

Furhtermore, field manuals should be made as awesome as grounds tomes are.

[Windwhisper]

1. Double CP
2. Shop

last 2 i give a "damn" to be frankly

[Vivivivi]

Conquest Points all the way!

[Babekeke]

2 then 1 then 4.

Change #3 to be increased Geode/avatarite drops, and we'll talk.

[Daniel_Hatcher]

Idiots, going along with Square's suggestions for this topic. Support option 5. Support faster magic skill ups.

Shouldn't be a separate option. Martial Mastery should just be updated.

[Godofgods]

1. 2. 4.

No one wants anymore damn crystals. They're just inventory cloggers.

I love crystals!

[Godofgods]

Let us know which of the above are your top 3 choices!

How about a system that lets vote be casted for which kupo powers a server wants. The system can start when the mog tablets break. And when the last one is found, the vote is tallied, and the highest votes are the powers we receive! And it resets every time they break, so you can always choose new ones!

Speaking of this, why doesn't the forum system let us incorporate user polls into the starting post of a thread? From what I can see here, the community devs aren't even able to do that sort of thing. I am pretty sure that it wouldn't be that hard to implement, considering that there are so many forums with this option.

Same reason we don't have a PM system; they don't want us expressing our opinions in any mathematically tangible form, and they don't want us to collude behind the scenes where they can't nuke our comments.

[Harnao]

These are the three most usefull, I think.

1.Double duration of food effects
2.Double the amount of conquest points received
4.Shops that sell San d’Oria/Bastok/Windurst specific items will sell them full-time

[Teraniku]

At the same time, wouldn't it be cool if the conquest NPCs suddenly had some new and fancy items we could spend our CP on? That would be fabulous.

Another thing that hasn't been touched since the level cap increase. CP was a great way to get decent gear while levelling up, without wasting your gil. Would be really nice if they added some Alternate gear to Perle, Aurore, and Teal sets buyable with CP.

[Mirage]

Yes indeed. The entire CP attainment and purchasing system should be looked and rebalanced, in my opinion, so that new players could get decent gear progression as they leveled and gained CP. The low-level gear from the AH is in very low supply these days anyway, so it would be fine if they could get something like 33-50% of their gear from CP by leveling up normally. It could supply enough for them to replace for example their weapon, body armor, legs and feet every... 15 levels? Something like that.

How about one that makes guild stores stay open at all hours and every game day?

[sc4500]

As a crafter on cooking do not allow the food to last longer and more crystal to drop the price down, but on the other side make food last longer.

Conquest points would be great, since no one does the 200exp party no more.

The city ones would be good, It can keep some the alchemy and cooking foods in check, and help some people to craft up to 70.

[Psxpert2011]

It wouldn't change things too much. First, only conquest areas would be affected. Second, it is one out several possible kupowers. It wouldn't even be active most weeks.

[Krashport]

There is a lot of good ideas, I personally think Super Kupowers should get more lines, Cause 3 up at once is not cutting it.

[Bulrogg]

#2

in that order.

[Chilloa]

Are these being promised to us? Or are you just informing us that we'll have the possibility of three new Kupowers? And if I, along with a bunch of other NA players, vote #2, #4, and #1 in that order and a single Japanese votes #3 does that mean we'll get #3?

Apparently, these are the things that we need to be clear of.

[FrankReynolds]

Apparently, these are the things that we need to be clear of.

I think its pretty obvious at this point that they don't really care about the votes so much as the reasoning behind them and that far more Japanese input get's taken into consideration. This is probably largely due to the fact that the Devs / producers can pop in and read the JP threads just like we do, where as they have to schedule time with Camate and crew (different time zones / busy schedules) to get our opinions. Which means that they probably get a very condensed version with a lot of the better parts glossed over completely.

That said, I would love 2 and 4 because I hate having to go to a different city to buy a friggin piece of garlic or something, and I never can seem to get enough CP.

I don't like the other two choices, because one hurts crafters by cutting sales to people exping / skilling in these areas in half, and the other increases drop rates on something that there are too much of already.

[Komori]

I don't know about anyone else but I had an experience where I bought cells with CP by accident and now I'm finding it difficult to build that back up to a decent amount.

[Theytak]

it's funny, but the double food duration won't impact the sale of any stackable food, because you can still only buy them in stacks, and the price of material won't change. It might influence the non-stacking food, because people won't want to pay as much, but honestly, crafters are a stubborn lot, and we're not going to just sell things at half price because DDs will get twice as much use out of them. We still need to make a profit, and our crafting cost won't change, so why in the world would we change our prices more than they normally fluctuate?

That, and anyone who things #3 would actually result in more crystals, it will, maybe a whole extra 2-3 stacks a day, to go on top of the already perpetually high double digit stacks of crystals made up of people selling crystals for 2-3 times what they're worth because they can get way with it. Seriously, how often do you try to buy a few stacks and of the 70+ stacks, not a single one is at the listed price, or even 1-2k over it?

[Zumi]

I vote 3 because crystal prices are stupidly expensive.

You really don't see how people buying stacks half as often would affect your sales? Are you sure crafting is for you?

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Hey, Kupo!

The Development Team is currently making progress on combining the “Mystery Boxes” super kupower effects, which should be implemented in the next version update.
With that said, that leaves 3 spots to fill with new super kupowers! We have been looking into what kind of effects we can add, and as a result of our discussions we’ve narrowed it down to 4 possibilities:

Double duration of food effects
Double the amount of conquest points received
Crystals will be dropped in beastmen controlled areas
Shops that sell San d’Oria/Bastok/Windurst specific items will sell them full-time

Let us know which of the above are your top 3 choices!Not the one involving crystals.

[Tile]

I vote 3 because crystal prices are stupidly expensive.

in sky there are all 8 types of elementals up at all times, in all 3 of the zones.

[Mirage]

You really don't see how people buying stacks half as often would affect your sales? Are you sure crafting is for you?

I can clearly see how buying stacks half as often would affect sales, but you gotta remember that they won't buy stacks half as often every week. With 12 kupowers, 3 active at the same time, this particular food duration will over time only be active roughly 25% of the time. And the duration still isn't further increased in non-conquest areas, where a lot of the playing is taking place. Then you also gotta remember that if you for some reason die within an hour, you lose the food effect prematurely too.

[lllen]

1
2
3
in that order

[Godofgods]

I like the idea of more crystals. But letting them drop in beastmen zones, and only when this kupo power is active, wont impact crystal availability at all. (and as for farming them in sky, that doesn't help new or low lvl players much) (altering it to current crystal drops are tripled, now that would be nice!)

Double food duration is nice to. But along the same lines, i don't think it will be all that effective. If we still had a majority Man pt system, then yes this would be great. But most leveling is either solo low lvl (where food not really needed), GoV parties with 18 ppl in which case food really isn't needed, or abyssea for mid-high lvl players where kupo powers don't effect players. Now their are some areas this would be nice. But as a whole, its effect would be quite limited.

Double conquest points and town item supply, i can argue against them. Even if limited, they would be helpful.

With 12 kupowers, 3 active at the same time, this particular food duration will over time only be active roughly 25% of the time. And the duration still isn't further increased in non-conquest areas, where a lot of the playing is taking place. Then you also gotta remember that if you for some reason die within an hour, you lose the food effect prematurely too.

Which was basically the point I was implying. Basically, the only things double food duration would greatly influence are voidwatch, KS99/ground Kings (if doing more than 1), and skilling up. Sky, Sea, Limbus, Dynamis, all of ToAU (Einherjar, Salvage, Assault, Nyzul, Neo-Nyzul), all of WotG (Walk of Echoes, MMM, the upcoming Meeble Burrows (which takes place in one of the WotG dungeons, like MMM)), Abyssea, Legion, and Provenance are all excluded from super kupowers. People use food for a lot more than just voidwatch, so while it might slow down sales a bit, it won't be huge. Especially since most of the buyers aren't intending to use the entire stack of food in a single sitting every single time. Some will, sure, but most people don't have the patience to burn the same thing for 6 hours. And as mentioned, that also assumes they don't die, which negates the increased duration regardless.

Change #3 to be increased Geode/avatarite drops, and we'll talk.

That.. is actually a pretty sweet option. It would totally rock the vote, lol.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Change #3 to be increased Geode/avatarite drops, and we'll talk.I would like add add this as a write in vote. Please everyone else add it in as a write in vote as well.

[Okipuit]

Good evening!

Thank you for placing your votes on the new Super Kupowers!
Your first set of votes were tallied up last Monday morning, so let's take a look at what we have here:

<table width="580" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" class="ta01"><tr valign="middle" align="center" class="th01"><td width="10%" align="center" class="th01" bgcolor="#a8d0d7">No.</td><td width="75%" align="center" class="th01" bgcolor="#a8d0d7">Super Kupower</td><td width="15%" align="center" class="th01" bgcolor="#a8d0d7">Votes</td></tr><tr valign="middle" align="center" class="td01"><td bgcolor="#c6e9ef">1</td><td bgcolor="#eaf2f3" align="left">Double duration of food effects</td><td bgcolor="#eaf2f3">59</td></tr><tr valign="middle" align="center" class="td01"><td bgcolor="#c6e9ef">2</td><td bgcolor="#f5fafb" align="left">Double the amount of conquest points received</td><td bgcolor="#f5fafb">63</td></tr><tr valign="middle" align="center" class="td01"><td bgcolor="#c6e9ef">3</td><td bgcolor="#eaf2f3" align="left">Crystals will be dropped in beastmen controlled areas</td><td bgcolor="#eaf2f3">7</td></tr><tr valign="middle" align="center" class="td01"><td bgcolor="#c6e9ef">4</td><td bgcolor="#f5fafb" align="left">Shops that sell San d’Oria/Bastok/Windurst specific items will sell them full-time</td><td bgcolor="#f5fafb">55</td></tr></table>
Seems like #3 was not too popular. /comfort crystals
Option #2 was the most popular but the number of votes compared to the other two candidates was not a huge difference.

We will continue to survey your votes throughout the week and all region's feedback will weigh in on our moogles' final kupo'rmation. Ahem... confirmation.

We continue to look forward to your feedback!

[Tptn937]

#1, #2 in that order.

[Byrth]

2, 1, and 4 in that order. I don't know why you're still collecting data for this. If you were looking for 3 results than the community's preference is obvious.

The fact that they're still looking for votes implies that one of the other regions is voting for 3 over the other too, and god help us if it's the JPs. Someone quickly, Rosetta Stone Japanese, German, and French, and make sure they're not doing something weird.

edit:
Looks like the JPs (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/14328-%E3%83%8F%E3%83%83%E3%83%94%E3%83%BC%E3%83%91%E3%83%AF%E3%83%BC%E3%81%AB%E5%AF%BE%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E6%84%8F%E8%A6%8B%E3%80%81%E8%A6%81%E6%9C%9B?p=350336#post350336) seem to be agreeing with us, and the Germans only got one response. The French don't seem to have even gotten a thread about it.

That said, it was rather amusing to skim through the JP thread and, while not being able to read it, still make out a very obvious pattern of 1s, 2s, and 4s :D

[Ophannus]

#4 is winning with JP. 1+2 are tied.

[Mirage]

All is well in the world, then.

[noirin]

i still say 1,2 and 4. i have enough access to crystals, thanks.

[Fistandantilus]

[Trisscar]

Magic skill ups, or bust.

[Ryuujin]

why not a kupopower that increases crafting skill gain rate

[Babekeke]

Your first set of votes were tallied up last Monday morning, so let's take a look at what we have here:

(apparently I can't quote the table)

Can we see the results from the other nations too please? Would be horrible for us to have it sprung on us at the last minute like it was with the new BST pet.

[Duvemora]

2 then 1 then 4.

Change #3 to be increased Geode/avatarite drops, and we'll talk.

I like the sound of that.

Wasn't it Faithful Falcor that BST's got instead of a scorpion? Yeah, I can see why people are still upset with that outcome.

The third post made after Okipuit's has the information that you're looking for.

Double the amount of conquest points received
Double the amount of conquest points received
Double duration of food effects



Always thought that one of the Super Kupopowers should have been increased spell potency, or activation of port points in that zone, allowing you to travel quickly across larger places like Meriphataud Mountains, directly to key locations like the entrance to Castle Oztroja, by zoning into the mountains, a moogle pops up and asks where you want to go sightseeing.

Who votes for Crystals? Rofl Farm Elementals if you're that concerned about Crystals dropping in Beastmen Controlled areas, mates. XD

[Okipuit]

Hello and thank you for submitting your votes!

After reviewing all each region’s votes, it has been decided that the following 3 Super Kupowers will be added:

Double duration of food effects
Double the amount of conquest points received
Shops that sell San d’Oria/Bastok/Windurst specific items will sell them full-time

As long as everything goes smoothly, these should be implemented in the next version update along with the consolidation of the mystery box effects.

[Komori]

Yeeeees. Thank you, was so worried lolcrystals would make it in.

[Nala]

wow for probably the first time in a long while it seems like the dev team is actually listening... insert meme: "not sure if dev team is listening or am just being optimistic"

Aww.. now I have to walk all the way to sky for my crystals...

[Worldwise]

My choices would be 1, 2 and 4

[Worldwise]

There should be an expansion for Ease of exploration, like going to Jeuno or even Kazam, Norg, Rabao, Tavnazia safehold, Al Zabi,and Nashmau with expansion pack use!

[Theytak]

Aww.. now I have to walk all the way to sky for my crystals...

Can farm a stack of clusters in sky in a relatively short period of time, far, far less than suddenly having random crystal drops in a few extra areas.
