Job Adjustments for the Next Version Update Follow

You know, I'd settle for a slime to pair off with our magic resistant slug.

Add "Cast Sacrifice every 30 seconds" and let's go, auto-invite.

They'll tie it into Delve!

2000 plasm for 1 jug of a new pet.

As long as characters are not increasing in level (fundamentally), pet job levels as well will not increase, so we are making it possible to further enhance pets through the equipment players wear. Below are the different plans we have for each of the pet jobs:

• Beastmaster

Addition of new familiar pets

Greetings geomancers!

To get a little more specific and build on what Okipuit mentioned previously, in the next version update we will be performing the below adjustments to geomancer in addition to adding a merit point category.

• Shortening of the casting time for geomancy spells (indi and geo)
• Addition of the job trait “Clear Mind”
• Addition of the job trait “Max MP Boost”
• Adjustment to the level in which the “Conserve MP” job trait is learned
• Addition of the spells “Sleep” and “Sleep II”
*To go along with the addition of Sleep and Sleep II enfeebling skill will also be added.

Still no Cait Sith >.<

Greetings summoners,

The development team has not forgotten about the implementation of Cait Sith and Atomos as new avatars; however, when it comes to job related content they are currently prioritizing adjustments and merit point categories for geomancer and rune fencer, as well as the new special abilities.
(They are prioritizing the new special abilities because they are being added to all jobs.)

With that said however, we are planning to implement Cait Sith and Atomos at the same time.

We mentioned this previously, but Caith Sith will be a type of avatar that will fight alongside you, while Atomos will be a special type of avatar similar to Odin and Alexander.

Once we have some new information to share on the status of these two new avatars we will be sure to let you all know!

Hey Geomancers!

Just as another tiny bit of information related to the upcoming geomancer adjustments; the enfeebling magic skill that will be added to geomancer will be the same rank as that of a black mage.

Also, the recast timer reductions for abilities that affect luopons will be located in the group 1 merit point category.

Geomancer and Rune Fencer Artifact Equipment

As we mentioned previously, artifact armor for both geomancer and rune fencer will be implemented during the next version update.

The plan is to release this new equipment for level 99 and I would like to explain why the development team decided to do this.

First, one reason is that Adoulin content is for level 99+ and as such the monsters in those areas are extremely high level, and trying to acquire level 50-60 gear in these areas just doesn't make sense.

The other major reason is that most of you are looking forward to wearing these new artifact armors to do battle with the monsters that lurk in Adoulin areas, so the development team made the decision to implement them at the proper level in which they can be used.

Item-level wise we are planning for these to be at least level 105, but as it is still in development, it may change.

With that said, the quest difficulty will match the item-level, so you might feel a bit nostalgic having to organize parties to hunt down this gear, much like you all had to do back in the day for your first artifact sets.

Greetings,

There has been a variety of feedback both for and against these changes, especially in regards to how it will affect those that dual wield and use hand-to-hand weapons. The development team's goal is to make adjustments so that there is balance between two-handed weapons and one-handed weapons.

In regards to hand-to-hand weapons, we'd like to go about these adjustments carefully or else there may be too big of a jump in power, so we will be making some slight adjustments during the next Test Server update. The 75% STR modifier that is currently only applied to the right hand will be slightly reduced to 62.5% and we will be applying it to both hands. (The 75% DEX modifier for both hands will not change.)

We'll continue to update you on any planned changes!

I agree. I left RUN at 50 just so I could look forward to leveling into it. I'm really hating this "level to 99, then do stuff" that SE has going on lately. I want to enjoy the journey to the top, not ignore everything that happens levels 1-98.

This expansion is the first time since I've started playing the game that I've thought about quitting. As it is, I try to pretend it doesn't exist, but that doesn't work to well when I can't find people willing to do stuff that isn't delve.

The larger problem is that this expansion has no roadmap. It's just tossing out uber gear, making an arbitrary progress path that can easily be skipped for the most part if you have the right people. I mean hell, look at me. I am a filthy "casual" at this point, running about in Empy+1 for the most part, don't have access to Wildkeeper's, almost no Bayld, never done Skirmish, and I am 1/6 on my clears for a Delve weapon.

That makes abso@#%^inglutely no sense. That'd be like someone not completed on the Zilart missions up to Sky access running about with Z Mitts...
