[dev1021] Level Cap Increase

[Runespider]

Oddly, CureV going to rdm and sch is actually a fact, since the dev team stated they're going to get it sometime down the road.

The dev team said they would never let FFXI go beyond 75, many many times.

im more interested about the new area where npc will be able to be called....i hope abyssea (so i can fast levelling her to 90) and sea.

i hope they throw a new questline too and not just a magician trial ;_;

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.

Instead of just simply adding a high-tier Cure, we’re looking into making it so scholars can raise their performance further by enhancing the effects of stratagem use and regen-type magic. However, this doesn’t mean that we won’t be adding a high-tier Cure later down the line.

From the very post you mentioned.

What makes any of you think the update will be this month? There was a post somewhere here from Camate a few weeks ago that kind of hinted that it wouldn't be until September. The announcement says "forthcoming", not the usual "scheduled for mid or early or late (in this case August)". Forthcoming could mean anything.

i suppose the earthquake changed a bit of the schedule.

probably mid september or so

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.

Because stating assumptions as fact is a bad habit. It's a habit that people need to get out of because in other instances the assumption stated as a fact could be completely off. People use this site for infomation as well as questions. If you start posting assumptions as fact, people will get incorrect infomation and start spreading incorrect rumors.

All it takes is writing "It will be this" as "I'm fairly certain it will be this". It's not hard.

Thank you, now go back to abusing children somewhere

SE doesn't like to confirm anything till after the update happens, you all should be used to that by now

You'd think..

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.
