Cactuar Fugue (Bar-gravity)

I say 'new' because they're currently not in the old spell list, but they are on the test server... i'm thinking this may be the case of 'Banishga III and Banish IV' where they were going to be implemented, but never got around...

Hum's been arround forever, it's that song you get from chocobo digging that noone has. Scroll is r/ex so it's never sold.

(chocobo hum: ) Has it? I checked Wiki and FFXIAH (which has a database of items not even in the game) And I can't find Chocobo Hum listed on either...

Can you show me a page or something you get this info? Because the first thing i was going to do when you said that was gear up my Digger Chocobo and go learn that spell, but there is absolutely no info on it anywhere.

Source please :D

Its more like, answering a question. Not a discussion! Thats simply my opinion. Besides, Its over now :) (and this thread was dead anyway)

No it hasn't.

Hum has been in the dats forever, along with meteor (in scroll form). To the best of my knowlege, they just never added a way to obtain either.

Personally I'd go with this one:

I was testing what levels were required for the new songs.

Chocobo Hum 52
Cactuar Fugue 58
Horde Lullaby II 92
Ice Carol II 93
Pining Nocturne 95

Horde Lullaby II and Pining Nocturne have their levels switched on the test server from what was posted here:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...ob-Adjustments

It looks likes Hum and Fugue are old and in the spell list similar to banish4/banishga3.

So what happened to our Requiem revamp? Was in the manifesto and mentioned in the community rep post, but not a word about it in the update notes. What gives!?

CLEARLY, Requiem landing on ANYTHING worthwhile would just simply be too overpowered.

Amirite, or amirite?

So to confirm:

-Gjallarhorn (95) requires killing Animated Horn x10 for 2 CHR and 5 Singing/Wind skill.
-Daurdabla (95) requires 1500 Heavy Metal Plates for 6 seconds of additional song duration. At least that's what I assume based on dat mines (actual item description is exactly the same as 90 version).

I am a bit discouraged.

BRD would solo everything with that kind of power, clearly.

Actually, as anything red mage have shown, bard's access to a non-interruptable massive +speed bonus, and our exceptionally easy to make +12% move speed feet, both give us the ability to do DoT kiting very easily.

Jut saying, it COULD theoretically abused if dev's accidentally let it go too far. :|

I think what bard really needs atm is something for the rangers and for the mages. Ballad is nice now, but anywhere it's applicable it's pointless. Meds in voidatch and atmas in abyssea give mages damn near infinite mp.

I'm thinking bard needs a macc+ song, which would also be super super awesome to put on ourselves, and a ranged attack+ song. Maybe even a magic attack bonus song as well? :D

Also, obviously the strength of regain isn't as much as it was made out to be, considering other jobs have gained access to regain spells and whatnot. Maybe bard could get a regain song at some time? I think that might be a little bit greedy though, considering how strong double march is :x
