Event-related

- New battle content called Heroines' Holdfast has been introduced.
Screenshot

Read on for details regarding this content.

[dev1125] Voidwatch Adjustments

Screenshot


- It is now possible to skip the cutscene that occurs when zoning from Walk of Echoes to Provenance.
- The acquisition of other rewards will no longer be interrupted when a rare item already in one's possession is among the spoils obtained from a Riftworn Pyxis after selecting "obtain all."
- Enemies' resistance to enfeebling magic has been adjusted.


[dev1131] Legion Adjustments
Screenshot

- It is now possible to reenter a battlefield after being ejected due to all participants having been KO'd.
- In addition, the distance that enemies roam has been adjusted.

- Enemies' resistance to enfeebling magic has been adjusted.

- Fields of Valor and Grounds of Valor Adjustments

- Objectives for the following training regime have been revised:

Ifrit's Cauldron: Page 5

- Potency of the field support effect White Magic: Protect has been increased.

[dev1132] Assault Adjustment
Screenshot

- When moving to the next floor during Nyzul Isle Investigation and Nyzul Isle Uncharted Region, characters will now zone in at different coordinates around the Rune of Transfer.

[dev1133] Einherjar Adjustment

- All rewards procured from the Nashmau (H-7) NPC Kilusha will now be displayed on a single page.

- A new fish may now be cut open in the quest "Inside the Belly."


Battle-related

- The following job-related adjustments have been made:

- White Mage

- The effect of Protect V merit points has been adjusted.
- The value for each point has been modified from DEF+2 to DEF+5


- Bard

- The effect of Knight's Minne merit points has been adjusted.
- The value for each point has been modified from DEF+1 to DEF+2.

[dev1129] The maximum number of upgrades for the attribute merit point category has been raised from twelve to twenty-four.

[dev1093] ]Enfeebling Magic Resistance of Monsters
Screenshot

- A log message now appears when a monster resists an enfeebling spell which enables the player to determine whether a monster possesses complete resistance to a particular type of enfeebling magic.
As long as the monster does not completely resist the effect, it is possible to inflict enfeebling magic upon them. The number of affectable monsters has drastically increased.

- A new system has been added in which using enfeebling magic multiple times will lower the target enemy's resistance. This system is known as "Immunobreak."

- When an Immunobreak occurs after the enemy has resisted a particular enfeebling magic, the resistance of the enemy to that effect will decrease by a certain amount.
- Immunobreaks can stack and continually lower an enemy's resistance.
- The more times the enfeebling magic is resisted, the greater the likelihood that an Immunobreak will occur.
- When the enfeebling effect is successfully applied, the resistance will reset.
- If the effect is continuously applied, the enemy will slowly gain more resistance, and eventually Immunobreaks will no longer occur.
- Note that some monsters have complete resistance to enfeebling effects.
(Immunobreaks will not occur on enemies which have complete resistance.)
Immunobreaks only apply to enfeebling effects (magic abilities based on Enfeebling Magic skill level).

- [dev1128] The following spell effects have been raised:

Screenshot

Protect / Protectra / Protect II / Protectra II / Protect III / Protectra III / Protect IV / Protectra IV / Protect V / Protectra V / Knight's Minne / Knight's Minne II / Knight's Minne III / Knight's Minne IV / Knight's Minne V

- [dev1128] Resistances to the following spells have been changed:

Foe Requiem / Foe Requiem II / Foe Requiem III / Foe Requiem IV / Foe Requiem V / Foe Requiem VI / Foe Requiem VII

- [dev1130] The interval between the conclusion of battle and the next possible time an attack command can be carried out has been adjusted.

- [dev1130] The interval between the time a ranged attack finishes and the next possible time a new command can be carried out has been reduced.

- [dev1130] Guard and Parry Adjustments

- The guard and parry skills have been adjusted so that they may level up even if the skills do not activate when players are attacked.

- A new familiar may now be summoned with the beastmaster ability "Call Beast."
Screenshot


- The beastmaster ability Tame may no longer be used if you already have a familiar out.

Nice, I'll be sure to get mats for a new Earth Staff (that's the one Chatoyant Staff won't rep) when I can catch a Soujii by the tail. (That's the guy I know who has synergy.) Guess I got that hq light staff in time.

Off topic and forgive me if this comes off as retarded...

What is with the increasing use of the word "Le" in the recent months? Is there some other meaning than the French word for "the"? Because "The sigh, too bad about Odin" sounds funky.

Never been bored enough to ask, sorry >.>

If by "in recent months," you mean "for the past sixty years or more."

No, I meant in recent months. Not by people trying to be french as is the case in that cartoon
#8REDACTED, Posted: Jul 23 2012 at 12:25 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) In the road map - weapons may now skill up without being swung. It'd be one thing if SE made it so parry/guard skills proc more often, leading to more skill-ups, or even skilled-up more often with the same current proc rate, but to let them skill without proc'ing? Isn't the whole point of skilling up being dependent upon said skills proc'ing?

Yes, well, you can still do Odin 2x as much as you could before they changed it (and without needing to coordinate feather mules), just not the 4x they accidentally made it into. And of course you can still do it twice a week while your ichor supplies last.

Yay! New pretty spell icons!
Yay! Enhanced Protect spells!
Yay! ....other random stuff!

I'll reserve judgement on the enfeebling alterations until I've had a chance to go at them properly. Test server just didn't give me a good enough feel for it since nothing actually resisted my enfeebles :p

Its probably just me, but the new icons make the menus look much busier than before. Its harder for me to pick things out from the list. That said, I do like the new icons for weaponskills, makes it easier to differentiate between elemental and non-elemental ones.

I'm probably just too used to the old list. I'll no doubt adapt in time.

WOOT

Parry Skillups! You mean the one thing I have never capped off and is still like 200 range! :)

I do like the new Icons and pro +5 instead of +2 (very late on that). I only ever got it for the "Looks at me!".
Keep em coming SE! :)

I'm getting giddy of this parrying and guard skill up thing as well. Time to train, and then just stand there :D

Your framerate lowers to 15fps while your line is in the water. It really sucks.

I'm not on yet, but do you find that the fishing rod doesn't jump around as much?

NOTHING jumps around lol. The game is choppy as hell. Picture playing it on an old netbook and you'll get the idea. So yeah, it's easier, but it stutters so bad I'm getting a headache from watching it.

Seems weird that with them being so eager to unveil every tiny adjustment planned, they slipped in a new bst pet. I mean, it's not huge, either, but it's usually something that actually makes it into a teaser.

Hmmm, seems fairly solid all around. Nothing major, but a lot of nice, smaller stuff. I also love that their fix for protect/minne is MOAR DEFENSE, because that will really solve much of anything, given the nature of monster's pDIF.

(For non math literate, pDIF is the comparison of Atk vs Def followed by level correction; for players, depending on weapon type, it ranges from 0-2(1h), 0-2.25 (2h) or 0-3(ranged), while for monsters, it CANNOT go below 1.0, which is why defense becomes nearly worthless after level 50)

Since I'm sure many players were not reaching a pDIF close to 1.0 before the update, the added defense will be welcome against lv99+ monsters.

I thought that was the hidden effect from all the +1 staves. SE just didn't have enough slots for all the stats, but wanted to make it visible.

Can anyone summarize real quick what the Chatoyant gains/loses over the individual HQ staves?
