QUESTION: Do Master levels work with Octave Club for 8 Procs?

Octave Club = IF Main Job level is a multiple of 8: 2 to 8 attacks

So if I’m master lvl 8, 16, 24, 32…. Will I get the effect?

But like Legit. Did someone test this already? I googled it and people have asked the question, but I don’t see an answer showing tests conducted on it.

It should. Master levels "count" as levels for check purpose. that means it's supposed to work.

But doesn't.

ML4 is a multiple of 8 (M0 is 100)

I will if no one has. I just wanted to ask first if someone had done so already.

It will not work as it only takes job levels in to account. When the weapon was made, master levels did not exist, so it would make sense that master levels do not affect how it works.

Hmmm.

If we’re counting MLVLs as their own levels: MLVL 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48.

If we’re counting MLVLs as additive to the current lvl system: (MLVL 4) 104 [additive lvl divisible by 8], (12) 112, (20) 120, (28) 128, (36) 136, (44) 144.

What I’m hearing rn is people think of won’t work but no one has actually tested it (because if they did, they would have said so).

Given FFXI spaghetti code, it IS possible. I will try it.

If it doesn’t work I’ll complain on the official forms about it in a Google translated JP post (because NA don’t matter).

We have two systems ATM, iLevel and Mlvl. Just check with an odd and an even Mlvl and the same iLevel.

Someone said it didn't right after master level was introduced, and he has the club in equip history if you had any reason to doubt him.

From a balance standpoint, I don't think it makes sense to allow it to work based on ML. Sitting at ML40 or 48 for a much easier/cheaper/dual wieldable kraken club is very generous.

Someone else on Bahamut also told me they tested it and it didn’t work.

is octave club the only r/ex version of NM drops that wasn't a faithful 1:1 copy? wonder how much they regret adding the original kraken club to the game.
