New Attachments!Follow

The previous set of four did come from three different sources - brown treasure caskets, imperial standing, and Pulling the Strings. So I would not be surprised to see this set come from multiple sources too.

Let's hope! Looking at emergency maintenance now though :P

Not getting my hopes up THAT much XD But it would be nice.

Though it wouldn't totally shock me if one day they just made stealth AI changes (no attachment required) without telling anyone in the update notes.

Kinda cool that target marker and attuner got fixed and are now better as well, on top of the new attachments.

Skilling up nowadays is certainly not 'easy'. Most jobs are taken 30 to 90 in a day or two. In the case of puppetmaster that leaves a whole lot of skilling to do. Now hth can be done in a jiffy, but the puppet skills slowly because of the AI.

Because the puppet doesn't cast or shoot non stop, it takes much longer to skill than a melee weapon. Heck I did 30 to 90 pup in a day and I bet I've spent 25 hours capping archery and another 25 getting magic to the 'Stone V' level. In that time I could have skilled every weapon warrior can equip from 0 to max. So for people who leveled PUP post abyssea the new attachment is very useful.

Of course the sentiment on job boards is to despise and belittle post abyssea leveled jobs as if not killing 999999 collibris somehow makes you a terrible player who is unable to understand that job. But the bottom line is that is how jobs are leveled now and skills for everyone lag behind. And other than parry/guard/etc I haven't found anything that skills slower than the puppet (and maybe not even parry/guard if you focus on supertanking chigoes). I can't wait to get my hands on this.

I just got a Galvanizer from a Treasure Casket in Zeruhn...

As far as the 0 dmg mage ws... its been like that forever and they havent announced a new ws for the mage frame yet.

Heat capacitator... yeah not sure. "The planned change to stop the "Heat Capacitor" attachment from erasing all Fire Maneuver effects has been postponed to a future update." Was the last we heard about it, and my guess is they forgot. Not suprising with our job.

I'll put my gearsets and skill level up against yours any day of the week. Leveling your 15th job in abyssea because it is faster doesn't make you gimp....it makes you smart and efficient. Don't pretend that playing a game that requires fewer button push combination than working the drive thru at McDonalds takes skill to play well. And don't pretend that killing EP mobs in TaU zones somehow is more challenging or skill producing than punching robots in altep.

Sure skilling is 'easy', but it is time consuming. I'll wager that maxing magic/ranged will take me 5x the amount of time it took to level pup. So for people that leveled PUP the efficient way and not the slow way it is helpful.


edit: yep. according to your ffxiah profile we wear the exact same gear except I wear usu boots instead of +2 boots to tp in. No difference regardless of the leveling process.

To be honest you do see far far more super gimped players for lack of skills gear is easy capping all skills is work and a grind **** I was in a alliance and 3 BLMS could not get sleep to land on fing dusk lizards it was a wtf moment basically they had no elemental skill and no enfeebling skill and haven't taken the time to level that ****. To be fair it's not the same game any longer by a long shot people race jobs to 90 to be the favor of the month and then have little skill to back the job up many WARS at 90 never skilled up most all the weapons. I had many years as 75 war so capping everything was easy just to pass the time away in the old days when can you believe it it was hard to get a party on war lol....

Finally, someone not joining in the massive prick waving contest this thread derailed into.
Cerberus has Windurst boxes so I'll try looking around those areas.

Does anyone know which zones the previous 4 attachments dropped in? If SE let Disruptor join the same zone as Galvanizer it's a safe bet that they let the other 3 attachments follow suite.

Edit: According to reports on FFXIAH regarding the other 3 items:

http://www.ffxiah.com/item/3307/heat-capacitor Dropped from Garlaige, Eldieme, Fei'Yin and Zeruhn
http://www.ffxiah.com/item/3308/power-cooler Dropped from Fei'Yin and Zeruhn
http://www.ffxiah.com/item/3309/barrage-turbine Dropped from Inner Horutoto, Gusgen, and Zeruhn
http://www.ffxiah.com/item/3311/galvanizer Dropped from Inner Horutoto and Zeruhn

All those mention Zeruhn Mines, I'm assuming it's because of the sheer traffic the area sees due to people wanting Prousse Ring that all 4 were discovered in Zeruhn, however it is likely all 4 have the same possible drop rates within each zone. Furthermore, none of the zones mentioned are "old" casket zones so assuming they share drop rates could spawn in any of the "new" casket zones containing equipment for 76+ players.

Confirmed Zones: Garlaige, Eldieme, Fei'Yin, Zeruhn, Inner Horutoto, Ordelle's

Potential Zones: Ranguemont Pass, Dangruf Wadi, Crawler's Nest, Toraimarai Canal, Bostaunieux Oubliette, Shakhrami, Outer Horutoto, King Ranperre's

Man I need to take pictures again o fing joy thanks SE.....

That's great news I'm still hoping for a 3rd source but however Ob should be easy at 90.

Word is someone found a Percolator in a Treasure Casket in Ordelle's Caves. Just further adding to my theory they each item can "possibly" drop in each of the "new" casket zones.

someone found percolator and dispell on ragnarok, but wants over 600k each and im not paying a penny over 200k for them cause they aint worth 1m for dispell or skill ups when im already capped.
