You can still make your own party setup, not like they are saying fixed party but you can only take 1 range, 1 heal, 1 dps and 1 tank. You are free to take any setup but the content is designed to be way harder than the first 100 floors.

hmm, PotD no Matched parties 100+?

I just have to think the nightmares that will go on with Party Finders for this, because it's a multi-hour grind to tackle the place, and if ANYONE bails at any time, even hours in, the whole group is screwed.

So it's basically going to be static friends onry and onry if you have time.
Hey, i love that this game finally has something resembling long play content,
but i mean, even in FFXI, if someone bailed on the party, you wouldn't necessarily be dead in the water all progress lost...
OK, SOMETIMES yes. But not by design. That aspect concerns me some.

If you could replace someone who bails, that would be better.
Otherwise, SO EXCITED.

They are! If you google for "Far Eastern Matriarch's Attire", you'll see gamerscape has an entry for them and the icon shows the korean outfits :3

One thing i need clarification on, regarding PoTD. Might be a bit dumb but the wording confuses me.

It says "enhance the strength of your Padjali weapon"

Since i returned for 3.4, i never got a padjali weapon i figured i'd get to 30/30 then wait till the Kinna weapons were released.

Now does it mean i need a padjali weapon then +60 to get a Kinna, or can i work to +60 immediatly and get a Kinna weapon without needing to ever get the Padjali variant?

You'll need to convert your 30/30 to the actual equipable item and then get back up to 60/60 by the sound of it, given that it says Padjali and not simply aetherpool.

Are achievements retroactive?

If I've already cleared an achievement in the past, before the achievement was added to the game, will I automatically receive the achievement when I log in?

I am asking because I've already cleared floors 1-50 solo.

Doubftul i'd say, you'll probably need to do it again.

No way to know until it's actually up, but if you've at least still got the clear save it's possible maybe. If it's gone? Not likely at all. The only way it'd happen otherwise is if there's been something hidden away tracking that stuff from the start.

My issue lies in this qoute

"Floor 100 and Beyond

While floors up to 100 are related to the story of the Palace of the Dead, all floors after were created strictly as a challenge for players. For this reason, you cannot enter floors beyond 100 with a matched party.
Furthermore, players must meet the following requirements to challenge these floors:

Start from floor 1 or floor 51 with a fixed party and clear up to floor 100.
Party KO count must be zero."

Not have a single KO? That is a bit excessive in my eyes, it's not impossible, and going 1-50 with prebuilt team is fairly easy, but from my understanding 51-100 is supposed to be much more difficult, I'd say having 3 or more KOs lock you out of floors beyond 100.

Actually, to be honest. I like this part.

I would rather do the challenging content with a fixed party than with a group of random people who won't / can't work together.

Sounds to me like you need +30/+30 as the potd weapon itself, and one already exchanged one (the ugly glowing none texture ones we got prior), to be able to exchange than your new +60/+60 to one of the ilvl 255 weapons at the end. Might be wrong but it sure looks more and more like that and knowing SE it's their new content, so they wanna push it a bit and make people run it more than once lol.

Might get the achievement however if you are planning on getting a place on the ranking system, you will have to redo these floors since that system wasn't available prior.

that's what it sounds like and it sounds stupid. i have 2 padjal weapons. both are non main jobs though and one is already replaced by a sophia weapon. now unless i can trade a padjal to any other weapon in the upgrade process, the old padjal weapon is useless to me. on top of that if i want to get a weapon for a different job I have to start from the very beginning, get the padjal and then upgrade it. that means i need 90/90 for a new weapon...
and a friend is already sitting at 30/30 and is half way done when servers go up. great for him...

Edit: some kinna weapons don't even have the same sub stats as the padjal one

Im glad i preemptively picked few POTD weapons in case this would happen. (which makes sense when you think about it )

Since my padjali weapon only for WHM, I'll go grind it to Kinna then (Preach for random people who got me as healer :rolleyes: )

I knew this would happen that's why I stayed 30/30 ready for update :P

(From the patch notes: ) "After clearing floor 100 of the Palace of the Dead and increasing the strength of your aetherpool arm and armor to +60, speak with the NPC E-Una-Kotor to enhance your weapon. Please note that in doing so, the strength of your aetherpool arm and armor will be reduced by 60."

To me this just sounds like get +60/+60 and have cleared floor 100 to get the kinna. Although I can see where it mentions "enhancing a weapon", so may require both. Won't matter to me cause I'm 30/30 @ floor 50 both saves and have the weapons as well. I'd still hope they don't require the padjali weapon as well that seems a bit odd.

Probably! I might as well keep boosting the aetherpool arm, i assume floor 101+ will easily end up requiring up to +80 aetherpool arm/armor. I might as well get it to +99, spend on a padjali weapon to drop it to +69 then get the Kinna version once i'm ready.

Client is updating btw guys

On the bright side it's now -30 to make Padjali, and we don't know the rate of gains on 51-100 so you may still be capable of getting a useful weapon at the same time as anyone else. Even if your friend could hit 60 by something like floor 71 or whatever they can't make the Kinna weapon until they've actually cleared 100 at which point maybe everyone will be at around 90 with the cap being set at 99.

Not sure how I feel about 101-200 being fixed party only. Just because it's like.. you either have to find others willing to grind it out with you from floor 1/51, all the way to 200 (and hope there aren't any screw ups since Party KO needs to be at 0), or wait for FC/LS friends to come on and do it with them. I really just want to jump right into it too! D: Since I already have a save file to floor 50, and have been sitting at 30/30 for at least a month now.

Got the client updated and patch downloaded though. Now to just wait.
(And stalk the Mogstation because...Korean outfit!!!! <3)

what bother me more is the fact that the reward for this 101-200 with such restriction are not talk about....
not enough to have really hard recquirement and seems to be quite hard, the reward seems to be only the hidden treasure. i do hope that this hidden treasure will give something nice :x

single player ko's dont matter

Unless you logged out or got dc'd and then kicked from the party. It will show a KO:1 in that blue screen and that means you're disqualified and have to start over lol, but than again it will only affect the player that got kicked/dc'd/intentionally logged out....

what i also wonder is if you can skip 1-50 if you are currently 0/0 and if so if it is even feasible or if you end up being a burden to the party

It's still a party KO that counts as disqualification, not individual KOs. Since you have to enter 101-200 in a fixed party that has been established since either floor 1 or floor 51, the screen will only show KOs for that party, not for just you as it would if you were doing matched.

If you DC, and your party remains in the current tier of floors, you can still reconnect back into those floors just like you can in every other instance. It wouldn't be ideal for your matched party to kick you if you DC'd in there, since it would also disqualify them from entering 101+ as well (since 101-200 have to be an established matched party--kick one member = instant disqualification for the rest).

That would still disqualify the whole group if a single person disconnecting gives only that person a party KO count. The others would not be able to continue on as one part of the group, that must stay as is, is not permitted to keep going.
I doubt that just disconnecting will mark your save as a failure, a full group DC or singular with everyone else actually dead sure, but a single person means that the party is still in there and the dungeon is still active.

I imagine it will have a minimum requirement like previous floors do

The requirements for 101-200 are pretty disappointing.. I've done 1-51 w/o K.Os with my BF and planned to try 51-200 with him too. But we will now need a fixed 4-person party from lv1 to participate.. I wish the Devs gave us info on this earlier.

Fixed parties can be anything from 1 to 4. It only means you're already in the party you wish to enter with instead of using DF to pull randoms. The devs have said floors 101-200 can be solo'd though it's supposedly extremely hard.

You can start on 51 and you don't need a full 4 person party, you just can't get random people. Duo 101-200 would honestly be a pretty impressive goal to work toward.
