Meh, doesn't mean much to me at this point in time. Hopefully the new assault area is more PLD friendly. I'm wondering exactly what item will pop ulli...obtain ability...cause I doubt they are going to make it retardedly easy so I'm kinda interested in where that's going and what item they replaced the kraken club with on LoO.

Same goes with the new armour and stuff. They aren't just going to say: "Here ya go! Awesome armour!" I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic about this update. It's looking good, but I'm gonna wait to see how many hoops SE makes us jump through to get to the really good stuff (like the armour for instance).

Found an interesting thing on BG...

SE did alot to POL this update.
POL scans all your running processes when you load it up as well. Windower users should be careful, not sure what they do with the information after the scan, but it could be possible they flag your account if they find a windower process running.

Doubt they would do anything about it, I'm betting it's more for hardcore things like speed hacks or bots so that they can easily find the botters, GS or what have you, and get them off. With the number of people who actually use windower I think SE has just started to live with it. You can see that from how they are making their own windower. It might be used for something like "Well hey! 80% of the people who play on the comp use this type of windower! Lets model ours after it!" idea. I don't know, rampart speculation ftw!

The NPC that extends Mog Locker leases will now accept more than one Imperial bronze piece at a time.
Convenience ftw.

Supply quests can now be undertaken only once a day (Earth time).
*Players must wait until 0:00 JST before attempting to retake the quest.

Um... lame! Why the hell would they need to change this?

An NPC with airship and ferry arrival/departure times has been placed in the areas listed below.

Art Urhgan Whitegate/Nashmau/Port San d’Oria/Port Bastok/Port Windurst/Kazham

About damn time these NPCs appeared in the local cities. How long did this take? 3+ years?

Players will no longer lose experience points when KO’d in Chain of Promathia mission battlefields.
Had I have not completed CoP yet I would think this is great, however being a person that has already completed CoP with this LS I think we're getting totally screwed on this because of the xp we already lost to complete CoP. But it's not like they could do anything about that... or could they?

There is now a smaller chance for the “Large Apparatus” to malfunction when traveling to Tu'Lia via the Hall of Transference.
Luckily this hasn't happened to me yet, and now there is an even small chance of it happening? Yay!

The following adjustments have been made to the merit point system.

- A graphic effect visible to other players will now be displayed when a character obtains a merit point.

- It is now possible to switch from experience point mode to limit point mode outside of your Mog House.
*Players cannot switch modes while under a level restriction, or when participating in Besieged.
*It is still only possible to allocate merit points while in your Mog House or Rent-a-Room.

Sparkles FTW! (If that is what it's going to be when you get a merit). Switching from Merit Points to XP without having to go the Mog House? Win. Too bad you still can't assign points to abilities on the fly.

The following new spells have been added.
Dark Magic
Drain II Lv.62
DRK Steals an enemy's HP, potentially increasing maximum HP. Ineffective against undead.
Dread Spikes Lv.71
DRK Covers you with magical darkness spikes. Steals HP from enemies that hit you. Ineffective against undead.

*The effect of Dread Spikes will be adjusted during PvP.
*The dark knight will still be KO’d if a single attack inflicts an amount of damage that exceeds his remaining HP.

And yet another reason to level another job from 60 to 75. Soon I'll have nothing left to level (with the exception of lolPUP which I will never level.)

The equipment storage NPC will now accept sets of relic armor.
They key word here being "sets". /sigh this will not help my inventory space at all.

Players will now be able to obtain “Card Cases” for carrying up to 99 corsair cards as one item.
Cool idea, but this should have been available from the time COR was put in the game.

The conditions for certain Notorious Monsters to appear, as well as certain treasure drops, have been adjusted in the following manner:

- The method for obtaining the items listed below has been adjusted.
The monsters that dropped these items now have a chance of dropping an EX/Rare item with the exact same attributes.

Fuma Kyahan/Speed Belt/Ochiudo's Kote/Strider Boots/Healing Staff/Eurytos' Bow/Cross-Counters

This is an awesome idea, and SE actually thought of it? Wow. Think about how this will effect gil sellers. They'll be camping a NM not knowing if they'll be getting the Rare/Ex version or one they can sell. So much for their profit margin.

The Notorious Monsters listed below now require a certain item to be traded in a certain location in order to appear.

Big Bomb/Alkyoneus/Pallas/Sozu Rogberry/Ullikummi

OMG SE you are on a freaking roll here! This is the best idea I have ever seen them come up with in regards to NM camping. Sozu Rogberry is a POPABLE NM NOW? Theif Knives for EVERYONE! And do I even have to say anything about Ullikummi being popable now? Wow SE, just wow.

An item to replace the “Kraken Club” has been added to the treasure dropped by the “Lord of Onzozo.”
Hmm I wonder what this is. Something really good I'm sure.

To avoid congestion, players will now appear in a slightly different location when exiting their Mog House into Aht Urhgan Whitegate.
I...I can't believe it. Is SE actually listening to people's complaints/requests?

The location of the “Downloading data” message in the help window has been adjusted.
Yes because this was a problem... -_-

Several new terms have been added to the auto-translate feature.
Game Terms Sanction

I was going to skip this section until I read they FINALLY added Sanction. Ever since ToAU came out I could not understand why this term was not in the auto translator. People substituted Signet instead, but it's not the same thing.

All in all I think the update was great! They fixed a lot of known issues when it comes to NMs and gil sellers. I only wish they added some new spells and job abilities to other jobs besides DRK. But I guess you can't get everything in one update. :D

I like Rezzo's summary, mostly because I was too lazy to read all the green stuff.

Good job Rezzo! :D

LOL Thanks Belle. See what being bored at work does for people? Well that and the fact that I'm STILL (yes STILL) trying to download the update. I still have 312 files to download and the timer says I have 2 hours and 22 minutes to go. :( I haven't had this much trouble downloading an update ever.

Since the implementation of the latest version update on Mar. 7, 2007, we have confirmed the following issues. Investigation and recovery work is currently underway.


- Thief's job ability, "Aura Steal" may sometimes cause a forced termination on both the ability user and nearby players.
* To avoid this issue, please turn all "Special action effects on/by~" filters to ON.

- When selecting a World during character creation, choosing the World listed 15th or higher would result in entering into a different World.
* In order to solve this issue, please cancel the World selection step, return to the name input screen once to refresh the World list, and reselect the World which is listed 14th or below.

- Level requirement for the item Warrior's Mufflers has been changed from 72 to 75.

- The Chocobo Racing Association's (CRA) NPCs located in the Windurst Woods and Bastok Mines areas would inform the players that they are from the "San d'Oria branch," which is incorrect.

- The NPC "Tateeya" in the Aht Urhgan Whitegate area would not accept trades for the following automaton attachments: Ice Maker / Flame Holder
* This issue has been addressed during the partial area maintenance on Mar. 8, 2007 5:00 (PST).

Thank you for your patience in this matter.
