ack O_o there are something like 30 new BCNM's!!!
thf is suddenly desirable after level 60!!!
we can carry lots and lots of fireworks!!!! -_-

remind me why i would want to synth/buy fireworks again? ^_~ maybe they will make them into synth ingredients or sumfin... and do you think this will affect the recipes for them as well? ie: instead of synthing 1 at a time, you get 10 or 12 from each synth?

Just do this quest in Selbina:

http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/quests.html?realm=Other&fquest=142

There is also one for Mhaura, but it is much harder.
Hmm.

The rewards received for defeating the notorious monsters in certain existing orb battles have been adjusted.


I wonder if this applies to BCNM40?

Quote:
The amount of time required for a monster's name to return to yellow from red has been increased.
If, for example, players mistakenly disengage a monster, it will now take longer for the monster to be targetable by other players/parties.
However, this increase in time does not apply to instances where players and their pets are fighting two monsters simultaneously.


I wonder if this will fix the BST problem that changing pets makes your target go yellow?

Can you tell me the link for the site where you got this info for the update. I haven't seen it posted anywhere yet.

As much as I hate not being on the game it gives me a chance to get my parents off my back and do some work around the house.

It's amazing, I'm actually at work and catching up! I even had lunch with co-workers instead of being glued to this site.

Tonight? Well, the movies - gonna see Farrenhite 9/11 - sold out yesterday (thank gawd, cause I got to level 30 last night as a result!)

Bummed about the nm's cause my ls we were going to try for one of them, and just stay camped there all day until we got one for each of us. Now...

I guess I can finish taking out my summer clothes now, and answer all those unread e-mails. Return phone calls from my imaginary friends etc.

Maybe even have dinner at the table instead of it sitting next to me.

Drat - I just got an extension cord for my keyboard. Now I have to wait until tomorrow to try it.

Mannakins? We'll see.

How about letting a bard have a shield? Bards farm too, it would be nice to feel a little bit secure when farming.

The subjob quests are under Quests & Missions. Go to By Type then By Job .

However since, I'm feeling helpful here are the direct links...
Selbina Subjob Quest
Mhuara Subjob Quest

I recommend the Selbina Quest. Good Luck!
