The new “Ruins of Alzadaal” region has been added.


The following adjustments have been made to Besieged:

Changes to Besieged as a whole:
-After a beastman army retreats, the enemy forces in that army’s stronghold will immediately begin to increase. The enemy forces will increase very slowly at first, but will gradually increase at a faster rate.
-If the enemy forces are reduced to a certain point, the rate at which they increase will accelerate.
-The enemy forces will increase if a player is KO’d in a beastman stronghold.

-Notorious monsters have been added that will periodically increase the enemy forces in the beastman strongholds.
-Archaic mirrors will now be surrounded by defending beastmen.

Changes to Besieged battles:
-If certain notorious monsters in the beastman strongholds have not been defeated, units will be added to the armies advancing on Al Zahbi that have special characteristics, such as units that perform particular actions or can only be defeated under certain conditions.
-New notorious monsters have been added to the armies advancing on Al Zahbi.

The number of Assault Points earned for each Assault mission has been adjusted to better reflect the level of difficulty.


The following features have been added to the Mog Locker:

Players can now expand their Mog Lockers to hold a maximum of 60 items.
By speaking to the Aht Urhgan NPC Fubruhn and completing the necessary procedures, players can use their Mog Lockers in all Mog houses and rent-a-rooms in Vana’diel.
*However, these procedures will shorten the length of a Mog Locker lease from 7 to 5 Earth days. A Mog Locker lease costs one Imperial bronze piece to renew. In addition, the remaining time on the current lease will be proportionately reduced.
*At any time, you can switch between being able to use the Mog Locker in only Al Zahbi and being able to use it in other areas. If you choose to limit your Mog Locker use to Al Zahbi, the restrictions imposed on the Mog Locker lease will no longer be in effect.

-The services of guild shops and other NPCs affiliated with certain captured NPCs will now be unavailable as long as the affiliated NPC is captured.

-The time it takes for a prisoner to return to Al Zahbi after being freed has been adjusted.


The following changes have been made to the Kokba Hostel:
-Interior decorations have been added to the hostel.
-A bard is now available to change the BGM inside the hostel.
*The BGM will change only for the player who selected the song from the bard.
-Players outside the Kokba Hostel will no longer be able to hear conversations using /say or emotes from inside the hostel.
*However, /shout will still be heard by players both inside and outside the hostel.
-The linkshell settings option has been removed from the entry options list.


The following new quests have been added for the blue mage, corsair, and puppetmaster jobs:

-Artifact quests -- Players will receive equipment specific to their jobs (artifact armor) by completing these quests.
-Limit break quests -- Players can raise their maximum level to 75 by completing the limit break quest for their job.
*The new limit break quests will only be made available after the player has completed all artifact quests for that job.

The caster will now retain a slightly greater amount of HP after casting Self-Destruct.

The graphical effect that appears when a Flammen-Brenner consumes a Petra and recovers from damage has been altered.


An issue in which the “Warhorse Hoofprint” was not appearing for long periods of time has been fixed.

Requirements
In order to enter these new battlefields, it is necessary to speak to the NPC Shajaf in Aht Urhgan Whitegate after becoming a mercenary, and obtain a special key item in exchange for Imperial Standing credits.
Note that it is not possible to carry more than one of these key items at a time, or receive more than one in a 24-hour period (Earth time)

The following magic types will trigger the accumulative magic resistance effect when used repeatedly on monsters whose strength is "impossible to gauge":
Black magic (elemental)
White magic (divine)
Ninjutsu
Magical Blood Pact abilities
Magical blue magic
Magical weapon skills (Spirits Within, Red Lotus, etc.)
Certain job abilities (Chi Blast, Mijin Gakure, etc.)

Resistance Fluctuation
When a monster with accumulative magic resistance is hit by a magic attack, the amount of damage it receives will decrease in accordance with that monster's resistance. At the same time, its resistance will increase.

The monster's resistance will increase in accordance with the amount of damage incurred, but each monster has a maximum resistance level.


Merit point job categories have become available for blue mages, corsairs, and puppetmasters.
In order to take advantage of merit points spent in these areas, a character must have the corresponding job set as the main job, and be level 75.


Blue Mage Corsair

Burst Affinity Recast Quick Draw Recast
Monster Correlation Quick Draw Accuracy
Physical Potency Random Deal Recast
Magical Accuracy Bust Duration

Puppetmaster
Automaton Melee Skill
Automaton Ranged Skill
Automaton Magic Skill
Activate Recast
Repair Recast

The 15 existing job categories have been divided into subcategories. Group 1 includes conventional abilities, while Group 2 includes the new job abilities, job traits, and spells.

The Group 1 and Group 2 subcategories have separate totals for the maximum number of possible ability increases.
You can access Group 2 abilities by spending 1 point on the ability you wish to learn. Additional points spent on the same ability will shorten the recast time or enhance the effect (refer to the help text for each ability to learn the specific bonus).
Lowering the number of merit points in an ability to zero will cause it to disappear from your ability list.
After obtaining the dragoon job trait "Empathy," you will be able to use the job ability "Spirit Link" even when your wyvern is at maximum HP.

- The samurai merit point ability “Overwhelm” is not functioning correctly.

OMG someone beat Ket to posting the patch notes.

_________________

Can someone explain what "Brenner" is?

Brenner is another PvP form in FFXI. It is fun, but requires more strategy to win than just simply attacking anyone and everyone like in Ballista to get gate breach. Brenner you have to defend your Flamebrenners (big fire things with detector type mobs that cast Thundaga III defending them) and also take out your opponents Flamebrenners. Well that is the jist of it from what I remember from playing it a long time ago.

omgz it's freakin sorcerers/mindgazers from ff1 or w/e those shits are called.... plus, I think it's silly that they're adding lvl 70 magical bps to rival our lvl 70 phys bps on summoner.. yet in the same patch they're introducing them, they're nerfing magical bps... at least I think they're a sub category so I don't have to dissolve some of my already existing merits to get these bps, it's also nice to hear the magic nerf has a cap and will stop resisiting once it hits a celining (though knowing se that will be when thundaga 3 hits for 1 point of damage 5mins into a fight.)

_________________

the 70 bps are purely phisical, and the prime attacks are purely magical. So them being the perfect compliments to eachother, I assume the dmg unresisted will be about the same as 70 pacts. probably around 800-1k. But they also go through utsu shadows and are ranged :O

edit: AND look awsome

OMG they added more buttons to the shortcut bar in the top of the POL viewer.

And is everyone that copies and pasts the new merits retarded? look at what you post, this is the 3rd time i've seen them all run together.

No its called being lazy Armani. I am at work and I don't have time to edit shit I paste. You can read it, so stop being a shithead.

Different jug pets have different called levels as of before the update, the only " Even Match" pet in game was the level 75 Cactus that is 200k last time I checked and onyl lasts for 15 minutes (( because it is even match ))
