November 2021 Version Update

Can someone please compile a list of where the new apex mobs are located?

this legend

Wait. How high does this go? 99? Sub jobs are about to be lvl 68? Wtf?!

Holy moly.

Don't be a naysayer. I have faith in Mushroom.

This is what I've been asking for for years. "Just give SCH Curaga III..." on repeat in my head over and over again and here we finally are. Sucks that it's not natively given to SCH and have to sub WHM but I'll take it.

ML is how they plan to fix pets situation it seems. Pets getting 7~15 (depends on jof of the specific pet on BST and probably Frame for PUP. Not sure about Avatars) attack/acc/eva/def per 1 ML and no idea how much STR/DEX etc. This is gonna be huge boost and probably alternative to boosting pets with players buffs like some people were suggesting.

M1 > M2
Ramuh
ACC +10
ATT +11 (stat increase, M3 was +10)
EVD +10
DEF +1

Mostly irrelevant but conduit is going to be even more ridiculous

Little disappointed it's just more grind, but at least it gets players out there. Also makes some of the current content easier for those who haven't beat it all yet, which is a bonus. The most intriguing part is the subjob increase.

Apex Archaic Cog: lvl 142~147? true sound? evasion??? highest i could get acc up to on a gimp job was 1400, no parse on it but i would say less than a 20% hit rate, ws's straight miss.

Apex archaic Cogs (Triple gears) same lvl? can't tell if singles are supposed to be lower level or not.

All mobs are found from the 4 warps in the center from staging point, plus more cogs found otw to exits from those warps

At M.Level 55, /DNC will give Dual Wield III. Imagine a WAR/DNC Hybrid build. Here's hoping.

Oh, and Contradance/Building Flourish at M.Level 5. AoE status removal ftw lol.

Meh, this is nothing to those who gained CP and will gain this while they sleep...

Occurred that eventually they might switch trusts over to mastery level instead of ilvl. Maybe unlock some new behaviours.

That'd be cool, so Sylvie stops giving me Indi-Haste when most are already capped.

It strikes me as a system they seem to think most will cap at a certain point, then just let passive exp gain through content like Odyssey and Dyna farms take them through the rest. Either that or they will add a gift system with bonuses like CP, otherwise having to earn 109k for one level at 300-500 per kill is kindof obscene.

It wasn't even that bad during 75 cap when you were earning 200 per kill and lvl75 was ~40k per level.

That's true but (at least in my experience), kills now are faster than they were.

But even so, my previous statement holds true. Some will just set their computer to play for them while they sleep, wake up and say "I'm max master, bro! Why it takin u so long to do it?"

Looking forward to a new DD theorycraft genre of "at what mastery level does BLU become the best sub for most situations for this particular job?"

This seems completely game-breaking viewed from a distance, but honestly, the game as it currently stands is pretty trivial with people Savage Blading V15 Bumba to death in two minutes, so why not?

Essentially never, for a dd outside of really weird ***like self haste (and maybe thf/blu aeolean usage)

at /95 then maybe (TA and STP II traits)

RDM soloers had their lives facilitated by a lot.

I really wish I could edit peoples pictures just to avoid having to post the fix in a new post. It's such a simple thing.

thank you for your contribution

The upshot is that ML 20 is already a huge boost that, when spread across a group, is going to make all content currently in the game palpably easier, so what's the rush? Yeah, a person could conceivably bot EP overnight every night and get a modest leg up, but at a certain point that's just not going to be an efficient use of even botted time: you could just farm job points to master a different job in the time it'd take you to get even one level eventually, I'd assume.

I hope they don't put in job-specific gifts or % bonuses or whatever. I kind of like it how it is: a significant boost right out of the gate that will make your life noticeably easier, and then a passive, steady reward for a job you like playing. I think that's what Job Points were originally supposed to be, but then they *** it all up by making them TOO significant to how each job plays.

Sounds like the Moogle Mastery system implemented on trusts was a way to gauge how much of an effect would be had by a system like this in a more controlled environment with limited repercussions to the rest of the game.
