About Vorseal Table:
Quote: You want hints, eh? Since it’s Friday and all, I suppose a tiny hint wouldn’t hurt.
I’ll start with a vorseal that was added in the May version update, which is comparatively a bit easier to grasp the prereqs.
Missions, kupos, and O-hohohoho’s, oh my!

Quote: Quote: The initial effect of the job trait Inquartata gives a 5% increase to the rate of parry while the subsequent ranks increase this effect by 2%. The effect of “Inquartata +” when wearing Erilaz Leg Guards gives you an additional rank (+2%), and when wearing Erilaz Leg Guards +1, it gives you two additional ranks (+4%).
While I cannot share the exact value of the parry cap, when fighting a monster that is the same level or above, the value is such that you will not be able to reach the maximum. On the other hand, when fighting monsters that are lower level than you, there will be cases that you reach the cap; however, these are monsters that are so weak that you wouldn’t be rewarded experience points from them.
This is a 5% increase to your current parry rate.
Another example is with the job ability Battuta. This gives a 40% increase to your base parry rate, and with each merit point upgrade into this ability it increases in 4% increments.
Additionally, the effect from the job ability Battuta and the job trait Inquartata aren’t determined by the enemies’ strength, but applied directly as a percentage. (In cases where you see "Parry skill" and "Parry skill +", these values will change depending on an enemies’ strength.)

Quote: Enfeebling Potency - How MND and INT Differences Play a Role
Greetings, everyone!
As many of you already know, MND and INT play a major role when enfeebling enemies, but depending on the difference between your stats and your foe’s stats the potency of your spells will differ.
Let’s take a quick look at some examples of this and how different the potency becomes when you are able to overpower your enemy’s stats!
Slow (Change in attack delay)
Lowest effect value when MND is 75 less than your enemy: around 7.3%
Highest effect value when MND is 75 more than your enemy: around 29.2%
Slow II (Change in attack delay)
Lowest effect value when MND is 75 less than your enemy: around 12.5%
Highest effect value when MND is 75 more than your enemy: around 35.1%
*With each merit point increase, the effect value grows by about 1%.
Paralyze (Change in the rate of Paralysis)
Lowest effect value when MND is 40 less than your enemy: around 5.0%
Highest effect value when MND is 40 more than your enemy: around 25.0%
Paralyze II (Change in the rate of Paralysis)
Lowest effect value when MND is 40 less than your enemy: around 10.0%
Highest effect value when MND is 40 more than your enemy: around 30.0%
*With each merit point increase, the effect value grows by about 1%.
Blind (Change in reduced physical accuracy effect)
Lowest value when your MND is 40 under an enemy’s INT: 5
Highest value when your MND is 60 over an enemy’s INT: 30
Blind II (Change in reduced physical accuracy effect)
Lowest value when your MND is 40 under an enemy’s INT: 15
Highest value when your MND is 60 over an enemy’s INT: 40
Distract (Change in reduced physical evasion effect)
Lowest value when your MND and an enemy’s MND are the same: 0
Highest value when your MND is 50 over an enemy’s MND: 10
*When your enfeebling magic skill is 125, the maximum value for this effect is 25. MND is then factored into this after.
Distract II (Change in reduced physical evasion effect)
Lowest value when your MND and an enemy’s MND are the same: 0
Highest value when your MND is 50 over an enemy’s MND: 10
*When your enfeebling magic skill is 350, the maximum value for this effect is 40. MND is then factored into this after.

Highest value when your MND is 50 over an enemy’s MND: 10

Highest value when your MND is 100 over an enemy’s MND: 10
*When your enfeebling magic skill is 135, the maximum value for this effect is 25. MND is then factored into this after.

Highest value when your MND is 100 over an enemy’s MND: 10
*When your enfeebling magic skill is 365, the maximum value for this effect is 40. MND is then factored into this after.
Frazzle III (Change in reduced magical evasion effect)
Lowest value when your MND and an enemy’s MND are the same: 0
Highest value when your MND is 100 over an enemy’s MND: 10
*When your enfeebling magic skill is 625, the maximum value for this effect is 80. MND is then factored into this after.
Addle (Change in reduced magical accuracy effect)
Lowest value when your MND and an enemy’s MND are the same: 0

Quote: Tetsujin has more or less figured out how the Amplifier functions. When you are trying to land a magic burst, the automaton will have its elemental magic cool down timers reset, and it will select the appropriate element to use for the burst.
Automatons have been set to check their actions once every three seconds, and the way they use their elemental magic is determined by this routine check as well. This verification speed can actually be sped up even further by using the Tactical Processor. When you have three ice maneuvers with this attachment equipped, the check delay will be reduced to 1.15 seconds. Give it a shot

Quote: Currently we do not have any plans to increase the cap for the Group 1 or Group 2 merit point categories. Quote: We currently do not have any plans to increase the availability and acquisition of Heavy Metal Plates, Riftcinders, and Riftdross. Quote: We understand the desire for geomancer to be added to the coin weapons from Walk of Echoes; however, we have no plans to do so at this time. Quote: In order to help, we need a little more information to determine what's happening.
Are you attempting to summon alter egos for battles related to the avatar quests? If this is the case, this is working as intended, as we designed these encounters to restrict the use of Trust magic. The same applies for Einherjar.
Please let us know if you are unable to summon alter egos while engaged in the Alexander fight related to the battlefield of the Treasure of Aht Urhgan mission "Nashmeira’s Plea." We have tested and confirmed that alter egos can be used for this mission battle.

For your reference, the following is a list of the lowest and highest values for each of the Indicolure enfeebling spells. Hopefully this aids you in your adventurers!

Ridill would be nice, but my guess is a ilvl Aegishjalmr and Balmung. Anything but an ilvl Andvaranauts lol (Although this is SE we're talking about...).
I wonder if they're doing Behemoth/Aspid also, I don't see them giving out ilvl D rings, but they really don't have any good drops. An ilvl Sipar is the only thing I see with potential.

Hi.
Dev tracker is a kind of feed in Official Forum that highlight (in the left side bar) posts from development team to players demands, questions and sugestion. Given that those answers are given by someone who effectively works with the deveopment of this game, they can be considered as official and true.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/forum.php
The japanese side of OF has its own dev tracker, that normally is way more active and detailed than english side. If someone feel like translating it to bring the info, feel welcomed too.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/search.php?searchid=15480698
BG site has one specific topic just to publish and discuss those official answers, and i think ffxiah lacks something similar as not everyone here check BG or OF, so lots of details/dev opinion are missed. So, thats the point of this topic, anyone who see new info in dev tracker feeds, quote it here, and start a discussion if you feel like.
Starting now, a couple of new dev posts were released after march update annoucement. Here they are:
Trust changes
Quote: [dev1261] Alter Ego Adjustments
It will be possible to summon alter egos in the following content.
Walk of Echoes
Wanted battles
It will be possible to summon alter egos in the following mission battlefields.
Wings of the Goddess missions
When Wills Collide / Maiden of the Dusk
It will be possible to summon alter egos for the following quest battlefields.
Wings of the Goddess quests
Champion of the Dawn / The Dawn Also Rises / A Forbidden Reunion
-----
Dev answer to a sugestion to add new ways to obtain dusk type of alluvion skirmish stone.
Quote: Since dusk-type stones were just implemented, we'd like players to do alluvion skirmishes to obtain them, so there are no plans to add the ability to trade other items for these stones at the moment.
However, we'll look into increasing the amount in circulation and the means of obtaining them in some way in a future version update.
Monster rearing news:
Quote: [dev1262] Mog Garden Adjustments
Monster Rearing will undergo the following adjustments.
A monster's mood will no longer degrade from "beaming with pure contentment" after collecting items or interacting with the monster.
The collective moods of all creatures will generate auras of light or darkness that affects them all.
Light
When the number of creatures beaming with pure contentment is greater than that succumbing to darkness, all creatures’ contentment and mood are increased.
Darkness
When the number of creatures succumbing to darkness is greater than that beaming with pure contentment, all monsters' contentment and mood are decreased.
The following information will be displayed when entering your Mog Garden.
The number of days left on assistants’ contracts.
The current affinity of the Mog Garden.
Mog garden gathering points will undergo the following adjustments.
It will be possible to scrap any unwanted flotsam directly without receiving it in cases where the player’s inventory is full or he is otherwise unable to recover it.
Sugestion about blu traits having aditional tier info.
Quote: This is something that is difficult for us to address at the moment as we would have to send data each time you open the menu to see which tier you currently have. We're concerned about this largely affecting UI response time.
Similarly the same holds true for saving the data client-side as well. Since all of the trait data for this would have to be saved, it would consume large amounts of memory, which also makes this feature difficult to implement.
