1.23a Patch Notes!!!

They mean that only "Rivenroad (hard)" will reward you with something.
The regular one doesn't.

Former means the first thing they mentioned
Latter means the last thing. Just a quick education

Thank you and the others who replied too.

I know, all jobs lvl 99 in 2 weeks (less actually) all geared in no time

Maybe if you're starting from the last lvl cap and only have a few lvls to go, sure.

If you're new however: It takes 1,894,800 exp to go from 30 to 99, so across 20 jobs that's 37,896,000 exp. Assuming you're in an average party getting 100k/hr, that's 378 hours of nonstop exping 24/7. So just over 2 weeks if you never ever log out and are always exping. That's not taking into account that you still need to grind to 30, adding additional time required.

I'd assume that the to-be-introduced quest "Monster of Maw Most Massive" will probably involve Atomos, and so they could actually be referred to as "Maws" as a nickname they'd be given like in this title. It could be about something else entirely, but familiarity in names is something that's likely to have happened here (that added nostalgic feel and so on). It's not exactly unheard of.

The term "Maw" doesn't have to mean Atomos, if you look at the art work for other incarnations of Atomos they all look similar, just better graphics, as technology improved, yes there are other differences but you can see where its roots came from. The quest and Atomos may not just be a coincidence but he was brought into the game as Atomos, not a Maw, also if you talk about "The Maw over Bluefog" there is a good chance that none FFXI players know what you are talking about.

I dont get why they'd have an easy mode in the first place then if you get no reward :P Just skip that and do hard mode.

i think the easy mode is hard and i havent done it yet so hard must be vary hard

Atomos has something to do with going back or forward in time?

it will be part of one of the new mini missions:

- "Monster of Maw Most Massive"


in the trailer we can see that Louisoix is saving our lifes with sending us into the future.. does this thing maybe has anything to do with it? storywise? well, lets see

in german the quest is called something like "hell's mouths/maws high in the sky" (Höllenschlünde hoch im Himmel) (sorry dont know which definition fits perfect for that)

and if i look at that picture, it seems to come from the sky. (ok dalamud also^) but in the english version its described as a monster and in german the quest description says that it is high in the sky.

And what is that new item for from Alchemist Recipe..

From The Final Fantasy Wiki: Lunar Curtain.
On Final Fantasy Wiki en Español they tell that Lunar Curtain ("cortinas lunares" on the site) is a must against Atomos on Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls...
