Today, various updates and adjustments have been implemented on the FINAL FANTASY XI Test Server. Further adjustments have been made to the job system and a new daily reward system has been introduced. Also, players will be able to raise combat and magic skills in the Walk of Echoes.

And that's only the beginning! Adjustments have also been made to Voidwatch, and Conquest Points will now be accepted as a fee for the Outpost Teleport service. And to make your test server experience even more convenient, special NPCs in the Mog House will now give you additional seals, medicine and food!

We would also like to note that wide-ranging revisions have been made to Puppetmaster automatons and their attachments, so we encourage you to give these a thorough testing and send us your feedback!

Proceed on to peruse the test details.
Read on to find out how you can access the FINAL FANTASY XI Test Server!

Just wanted to deliver this message from Producer Tanaka!

We’ve implemented the new macro palette onto the dev. server!


You can now enter up to 8 characters into the macro title box. We were unable to increase the max number of characters you can input in the macro editing menu. However, the title you input will be fully displayed now. If you are using a 1024x resolution or higher with the Windows version or using the HD mode for Xbox 360, these changes to the macro palette will be automatically switch over. If you are using a lower resolution, SD mode, or a PlayStation 2, the size of the macro palette will remain the original size. We weren’t able to launch this onto the Test Server this week, but we will be implementing it sometime next week. I hope you’re all looking forward to it!

Oh…did you notice the chat widget?
The developers have secretly been working on a new chat widget for Windows and Xbox 360 that will allow you to adjust the number of lines and width of the box. This will also be implemented onto the test server next week, so please try it out!

So... Now that you can use CP or gil to OP warp... Did they add an extra confirmation on the OP npcs' text? I don't have test server access so I can't try it.

Campaign ops I didn't think they have changed at all as far as point rewards. I know they recently updated campaign battle's rewards though.

It still fails in my opinion. You won't get anyone in campaign without the ability to skill up, it's not like there a problem getting experience points nowadays.

Totally agree and I certainly don't have any reason to do campaign, just noting the difference between battles and ops.

Allied notes are the easiest way to buy Cells for Voidwatch! Better than spending cruor!(now you can upgrade your atmacites) And you get a ***-ton of Allied notes after battles.

I'm a hoarder too...But that's because I have so many jobs leveled! It's ridiculous all the things you need to carry for 17 jobs!

Delayed Implementation of October Test Server Features

Hello! I am posting this announcement on behalf of the director of FINAL FANTASY XI, Mizuki Ito.

Hello, I’m the director of FINAL FANTASY XI, Ito.

The Test Server update is drawing near and I would like to inform you of the current development status.

To start off, I would like to apologize for the fact that the features listed below, originally outlined for October on the 2011 roadmap, will be delayed until the beginning of November.

We worked diligently to implement them on schedule, but in order for you all to be able to perform the proper testing we decided we needed a bit more time. I apologize for the delay.

  • Voidwatch Chapter III
    While working on chapter III content, we are also working on adjustments to the existing Voidwatch system and will be implementing them in October. These adjustments will also be reflected in chapter III battles, so we have to make sure to get those done before the release of the next chapter. We will be working hard to ensure that we implement this without a major delay.
     

  • Walk of Echoes Expansion
    We have made quite a bit of progress in the creation of the new confluxes. In order for everyone to be able to properly test the Walk of Echoes content we decided we needed to prepare an environment that makes testing easy and because of this additional preparation time is needed. In addition to this, we are planning to use Walk of Echoes to test out the balance of skill increase in battle-related content.
     

  • Relic and Relic +1 Equipment Upgrades
    In addition to listening to all of your feedback and changing the upgrade method, we are also making the upgraded stats attractive. There are a lot of items, so we need some time to perform our final checks. Since there’s no reason not to implement everything at once, we plan on implementing everything once we spend a bit more time working on it.


While these features weren’t able to make it in time for implementation in October, rest assured that we’re working hard to get them into the test server as soon as possible.

[dev1036] Daily Reward Content (Name pending)

  • By using a "Daily Point" from the below goblins, you will be able to receive a random reward.
     
    Port San’d Oria (I-10) Habitox
    Port Bastok (I-12) Bountibox
    Windurst Walls (C-14) Arbitrix
    Lower Jeuno (I-6) Sweepstox
    Bhaflau Thickets (J-9) Wondrix
     
    Once you have spoken to the goblin, you will be rewarded with a new Daily Point every Earth day at 12:00am (JST).
     

  • You will be able to select five different amounts of points that you would like to consume at once, and depending on the amount selected the reward will vary.
     

  • You can also receive daily points by trading unneeded rare items to the goblins.
    (It depends on the item, but there will be some that cannot be traded.)

    *When trading items, there will be a cap on the amount of daily points you can earn in a single Earth day.



*The Daily Points obtainable on the Test Server are higher than normal for testing purposes.
*The rewards obtainable on the Test Server are just samples and will differ from the actual rewards.

I logged into the test server just now to check on a few things.

Daily Rewards
I'm glad that they mentioned that the rewards will change because seriously, did they think this was a good idea?





I gave up after 30 attempts. Personally I would have been much happier with exp rewards for low level jobs.

Voidwatch
Not enough people on the test server to try (12 people total >.>). The Periapt of Clarity does not appear on the list of KI's to buy so I assume it's a KI from one of the NMs.

Outpost Teleport
The CP cost is 10% of the gil cost for the current teleports.



Magian Trials
No new trials to upgrade +3 staves. Can't test others at the moment but I'd assume none exist.

DATs
A lot of interesting DAT models were added.

I haven't found this myself, but there seems to be a new "Raise" animation - some people are suggesting "Raise IV".
