I really hope that Great sword with tripple attack +2 is a drop from the new naakual.. Other than that the pants and head look like promiseing pieces for war and mnk respectively.

Kinda interesting how upgraded AF icons have a new names for them.

Right now it's only the Artifact armor that can be upgraded.

I think you only need the 3 starter town paths completed, actually. If you don't care about getting procs and maxing the lights every time, these fights are now mostly very easy to complete without much help, even if you don't use voidclusters.

Yeah, just checked, Guardian of the Void is what's unlocked by finishing the 3 city paths. No Jeuno mobs necessary.

No reduced sub fee and no bridging the gap between the no lives and the have lives. (Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to pass)

Ok so I went hunting for some survival guides with the hope that I could unlock the teleports between outposts and this is what I found:

I had all outposts unlocked via conquest (which was pretty hard being aligned to Bastok as Ronf and Saurtabaruta are very rare.) and was able to unlock most of the suvival guides around the globe.
However the following outposts do not have a survival guides to examine and so far (as I can see) cannot teleport between outposts as the seems to be no book at all.

1)Aragoneu (Meriphataud Mountains)
2)Li'Telor (The Sancuary of Zitah)
3)Kuzotz (Altepa)
4)Vollbow (Cape Terrigan)
5)Uplands Elshimo (Yhoator Jungle)
6)Lowlands Elshimo (Yuhtunga Jungle)
7) Tavnazia

This isn't linked to conquest either as I have found survival guides at outposts that are not currantly under Bastok control on Valefor.

PS for those who don't know what I am on about, SE added the ability to teleport between outposts by checking a floating white book called a "Survival Guide".
Examining each book at each teleport once will give you the ability to teleport to another outpost you previously visited.
(Except SE missed a few.)

Unchanged, and not in the update notes.

I've been grinding WoE every few hours since Monday, while people are running in and out of the walks. Devious die and freyed pouch of deviousness seem to drop more often than the sack of Liminial residue. The number of die needed to take WOE coin weapons is 35 now I'm hoping residue is just as cheap. Once I get a full stack of both I can take two weapons past chesma and right to 99 WoE. However the Liminial Residue is harder to find as I'm already up to 64 in die and 2 on residue. Getting freyed sacks speed things up alot. Selling or AH a haste sheild, hastey pinion and, other synth materials to easily make back the 1,000 per ki to partipate.

As I under stand it the emp ws are just as nice on delve boss weapons and the synth weapons made from their remain. Like Razorfurry and that blue great sword whose name I cant remember, Most folks I've talked to would rather work on relec Lv99 or myth/Emp if they already have it at 99 (got a farm going for heavy metal plates?). Then use a fast coin WoW weapon for the emp ws then you can use everything on the relec or Delve boss weapons, or any weapon for that matter..

However does anyone know if Rune Fencer can use the Emp Weapon Skill on great sword once its unlocked? Can we trash the WoE weapons once the WS is unlocked? Can we also trash all the other magian weapons that are not goin to be enhanced (elemental, multi hit, tp/physical) or are they making a way to redeem them for other items like they did with exchanging anchient currency for relec upgrade items?

The weird thing is people are not complaining as much when they don't get to Tojil, as long as the other 5 Nm s are killed now since they drop cases and other RME loot. Then theres talk of some people trying to form a mnk/war(main tank), mnk/run x2, brd, thf, whm alliance to try chain farming Volatile Matamata lately. Can the feild NMs also be farmed for RME upgrades?

I guess my snarky side sees a bit of comical irony to it. "Delve killed FFXI!" some would proclaim. "Here, have a 2005-style grind to upgrade your RMEs!" says SE. Heartbreak. Expecting any kind of financial compensation is unlikely and, more cynically, foolish. The first aspect comes in the currency costs naturally fluctuate. The latter is basically what I'd call the early adopter's tax. Otherwise, we should be refunding everyone who bought a Thief's Knife back in the day, or really any other item that swiftly depreciated in value after a patch/expansion. Just where do you stop?

Philosophically, I'd say the devs blundered by adding not just one tier of prestige weapons, but three. Or more aptly, behind such blatantly unreasonable tasks that players can't help but get pissy when suddenly new gear (finally) rolls around to replace them. Not only that, but they've refused to budge on those entry level requirements, making ignorance of their presence for new-comers a far more tempting option (aka Why farm Dynamis for 3 months when you can get a Delve weapon in 3 days?). Now, we could don our tinfoil hats and surmise this is a not so subtle FU from SE for even forcing them to revisit RMEs, but there's also an uncharacteristically optimistic side of me that believes the steep cost was deliberate so the vets would be more willing to carry other people through Delve in exchange for any of the upgrade items that drop. Will XI players unite under this banner? Hard to say. Are server mergers justified? I don't doubt it. Do the new crests need to drop more often? Probably.

I wasn't a fan of the Dynamis grind to begin with (old or 2.0) and staunchly believe all content has a lifespan of enjoyment for an individual before it just becomes a grind. As such, I'm certainly not a fan of them just recycling old BCs with hard mode versions years after the fact. It simply leaves me with the question, "What kind of new content could XI had gotten if SE didn't have to pander to these dinosaurs of design?" At the very least, giving an option to learn Emp WS was the right thing to do. Now for Relic WS...

Because these new ones only drop from mobs that are in the hundreds, which obviously only exist in the Adoulin areas.
