i agree, fujito never spoke english before so a few words are a great improvement, maybe a full english digest one day the way it keeps going? =)

[Uroah]

One thing is certain, the bots are going to LOVE this update. Good job giving people more reason to automate and/or pay for teams to automate their grinds. As always doing what's expected.

[Pixela]

A lot of work went into this update, thank you all!

[Immortal]

This update has been huge! Thanks for that. Also you can't stop giving content because it has a chance to be automated. every single MMO can have grindy content automated, so your point is stupid

Maybe, I actually like to read subtitles.

Maybe, I actually like to read subtitles.

yeah, still with subs though, i tend to read the subtitles with anything anyway, easier =)

Its great that vets have master levels but im nowhere near master level, so i feel like noone is going to want regular or new people. So will mastery be meta?

What about all the new players SE?

Granted next year will be my 20-years in this game:...
I'm always open to new players, no matter where their experience with the game is at or even no game experienced\levels may be at yet even on my linkshell, even at this point, I look forward to new players and free-play trial players to this game as well...

I'm...Just saying though... ;)

Probably off-topic but My Birthday is tomorrow which I love how this game's content/events always falls on my B-days but this year's being very near it too or maybe even a thanksgiving holiday event as well.

they cant automate the new zone/mobs for max exemplar yesterday i setup a party for 6 hours not even a maxd bard was able to sleep the mobs, so ya botts would get destroyed there, at least for now.

[Uroah]

lolololololol yeah thats not how that works guy

[Pixela]

Bots are destroyed by magic aggro monsters, if they added elementals to the bat camps the bots would be gone since they won't be able to really deal with that. So you won't see bots in the gear camps.

Also this new update makes bots lives more difficult in the short term, since real players are going to camp ontop of them.

Thank you for the version update, it is very exciting, and a huge step in the right direction, in terms of post-Jobmaster character improvement.

Thank you for the video, it really brightened up my November!

Regarding the new Voracious Resurgence missions this month, it seems that I am unable to take part in them, due to me dropping the Thunder Hammer level one club three months ago.

I probably dropped it while farming +1 Nyzul Isle special event, where I am constantly throwing away low level Ra-Ex weapons.

Is there a way to obtain Thunder Hammer again, or will I never be able to continue with the Voracious Resurgence missions.

I hope I can continue and do this month's and future Voracious Resurgence missions, because I have been really enjoying them!

Thank you for all the great work you are doing to bring us new and exciting updates, and absolutely adorable digest videos!

[Lurex]

Recently returned, and I am really enjoying it. Thank you team. Long live FFXI!:D

I mean, it's not really different from any other point in the game, if you 're level 50, of course a lv75 isn't going to want you in their party, if you're level 10 you're probably not playing with level 40s (outside of level sync, which does work with master levels). That's not even the case here, master levels are not necessary for anything and aren't that big of a power increase when you factor in all the stuff that job points gave you before you got there.

Earlier on in JPs, when people were first maxing them out and I barely had any, I still was able to do ambuscade, BCNMs, etc with people who had them. I don't think this is going to suddenly change.

[kythra]

Still wanting buffs to black mage. ;p

I have yet to find out whether the adjustment to Relic +3 is for the entire set of gear when you get the key item or if it's just for the single zone you killed enough enemies on.

I have some suggestions to help players in regard to Artifact +3 & Relic +3 in addition to it:

Many Relic Shards & Voids get thrown to the ground because they are not worth putting on AH to see if someone will buy.
To remedy this, add an option at the Goblin to take a shard/void and give you a Beastmen/Kindred Medal in exchange.
This adds a price floor to all shards/voids of the same as the medal, and since it costs 3 Medals for the Goblin to give you a shard/void back, it's a 1:3 trade of items you don't want for items you do.

Artifact cards are still a massive time gate to players wanting to gear up new jobs thanks to the addition of odyssey. Adding scales to normal mobs has no effect on this.
It only reduces the demand on players to play this game as an MMO instead of a single player game.
To ease the time gate, remove the [Ex], exclusive, tag from JOB Paragon Cards. This way players doing it to quickly get their Artifact upgraded can trade for the ones they need, and those that don't need can find new reasons to continue doing the event.

Single zone.

Same minimum number of dynamis zones to unlock everything (4 dynamis runs per job x 22 jobs x 3 days per run)


It just means you don't have to beat any bosses to get the unlock. 100 trash mob kills.

If you're quoting AH, that's still under debate. https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/56348/november-2021-version-update/17/#3600864

Yea, it might possibly be 100 mobs once and just enter each area, but that still doesn't reduce the minimum number of times you need to go to unlock it all.

Sadly, this was an entirely fumbled attempt at helping newcomers/returners. It still requires 3+ people to enter the zone and you might as well just run up and kill the statue if you happen to be on capable jobs.

Then wait 3 days and do the next zone. And so on.

Shame they didn't make it for all slots or at least reduce entry requirements.

[Alhanelem]

honestly being ML20 is a noticeable power boost, they really could have reduced the entry requirements, but in fairness, I suppose that could exacerbate the lag situation or at least the waiting situation as a lot of singles or duos would quickly hit that 50-group limit.

[kythra]

still hoping for Black mage to be beefed up.

[Cyriack]

I got one small complaint. Can you make it so the unity trust does not go away. I am getting so sick of spending what little time i have trying to ressurect sylvie so i can examplar farm. Thank you very much and happy holidays.
