[dev1021] Level Cap Increase

[Kuwabaraone]

Well, as a BLM, I'm expecting to see what they have in store for the 'increase elemental damage at greater risk' they had planned in their Manifesto. Also, I can see the possibility of new AMIIIs or JaIIs. Since Meteor IS expected, I'd love to see what other possible spells they can throw at us.

People are very impatient. If we get all of the information now about the update then there won't be teaser notes to come later. They made notes for new spells, job traits, and job abilities before the last two level increases, there is no reason for them to change that now. I for one enjoy the news being released little by little, it gives me a sense of antici...

...

...pation for the update, it's what makes update day like Christmas.

Looking at the Magic dat files, the only things I cannot confirm from this list are Cura III (although magic 475 fits with a potential pattern of Cura => Cura II => Cura III) and a level for Meteor. There is also a listing for a level 93 Ninjutsu spell, light based and enemy-targeted.

Once more, all of this comes from the magic data files. I see no reason for Square to put superfluous information into their own files, I doubt that they would go through the trouble just to try to throw off dat miners who will check it again when the next update arrives.

93 WHM Addle

...because currently RDM have exactly one useful RDM-specific spell, so clearly that has to stop. WHM just aren't wanted in today's content anyway.

Seriously hope they reconsider this one. A spell as powerful as Cure V is restricted to one job but they're going to give away even a niche use like Addle to multiple jobs?

[Ophannus]

No it is not. See part 3 of the SCH dev notes. They have not ruled it out entirely but they clearly state that they are looking for ways to improve SCH and RDM healing other than just adding cure v.

No. SE said SCH won't be getting Cure V this patch meaning not at 91-95. RDM on the other hand probably will since RDM learns Cures before SCH does. eg RDM learns Cure IV at 48(Before level 50 cap), SCH learns Cure IV same level as PLD(55, after 50 cap). So likely that RDM will learn Cure V before 95 cap.

I wonder where the upgrades for level 95 weapons will come from (Salvage boss lol, and dynamis for relics ?). I hope the armors don't get any upgrades.

[Lushipur]

upgrade for 95 weapon will probably come from voidwatch.

i hope is just pure kill (like nm trial) or just one kind of item for all weapon, else it will be pure crap if the item are distribuited like the current chest system (yay club item do war and gaxe item to whm)

[Ophannus]

Empyreans should remain in Abyssea just like Relic=Dynamis and Mythic=CoP.

[Leonlionheart]

Empyreans should remain in Abyssea just like Relic=Dynamis and Mythic=CoP.

Other than the Mythic point (Um... ToAU), I agree. Though Relic upgrades ended up being 99,489,765,032,975,869,034,587,659,347,085,647,039,864,936,740,386,000 WS killing blows with crap WSs before it went back inside Dynamis.

Mythic is toau, not cop lol.
