The September version update just keeps getting bigger and better! We would like to take this opportunity to announce our intentions to implement some all-new features to both Dynamis and Limbus, as well as a few adjustments brought in by popular demand!

Blue mage / Corsair / Puppetmaster Artifacts and Relics
The wait is finally over!
At long last, the highly anticipated relic gear sets of the blue mage, corsair, and puppetmaster jobs are here! Rounding out the standard 5-piece sets, the more recently added back and waist items will also be added to September's version update. Players with these jobs can now look forward to obtaining the ingredient items required to temper their artifact and relic gear with even greater enhancements!
When considering how to best introduce this equipment, the development team weighed many options, including the possibility of entirely original methods. In the end, however, the decision was made that such means would be largely unfair by rendering only players with these jobs capable of accessing new game content. Therefore, all of the above items will be procured in the same way as their predecessors, namely via exploits in the Dynamis and Limbus areas.

Drop Rates
Great care has been put into assuring that current drop rates will see no negative impact from the introduction of the new blue mage, corsair, and puppetmaster gear sets. Players can rest easy knowing that any and all necessary adjustments to the drop rate ratios have been considered and implemented to maintain a fair and balanced game experience.
Furthermore, the overall drop rates of select Dynamis areas, covering the relic gear of all jobs old and new, are set to be raised as well.

Entry Fees
In light of the additions and adjustments detailed above, the entry fees for both Dynamis and Limbus were also brought under careful reconsideration.
Thanks in part to the ground being made by the Special Task Force in combating RMT-related activities, and subsequent normalization of the game economy, the following reduction in price to entry items will be implemented in the upcoming September version update.

Timeless Hourglass: 1,000,000 gil -> 500,000 gil
Cosmo-Cleanse: 30,000 gil -> 15,000 gil

I called it!

Is it just me, or does the BLU AF2 look almost exactly the same?

 

[Gannon]

Bah, I was just about to make this post, lol. Anyways, I can't wait to see what the stats are for the BLU set.

 

[Diabllos]

Perfect timing, as I get surcoat. lol

 

[Tim Wakefield]

This would've been sweet in September 2007.

Timeless Hourglass: 1,000,000 gil -> 500,000 gil
Cosmo-Cleanse: 30,000 gil -> 15,000 gil

Final Upgrade at 29%

HALLELUJAH!

I'm considering low-manning dynamis..

 

[mdkuser]

Gotta find a 6 man team to low man dynamis yes, since my dynamis ls doesn't want me anymore.

They didn't mention AF+1, but I assume they are there too for the new Jobs.

 

[Xzerper]

Wow. Just wow. Haha

15k for Limbus will be soo easy to obtain now, so alot of people unable to attend Limbus, will now easily be able to attend!

I am not into the whole PUP thing...but damn that AF looks smexy.

Now...the Drop Rate increase were for Northlands correct? When they say Increase drop rate, by how much do they mean "Increase"? Any guesses? Even tho it hasn't actually been announced yet.

500k Isn't hard to come by either if you set yer mind to it

 

[Tristam Green]

This is awesome: just as I get Sea Access, too ^^

It says drop increase is for all dynamis in general

 

[Myrrh]

So....are they going to bother to throw in a story for how they got in Dynamis? <_<

"Suddenly, amongst the bloodshed in the twilight realm, the Terrestial Avatar Diabolos decided that it would be a laugh to introduce Puppetmasters into the fray, for general cannonfoddery. And some pirates."

 

[Lavi]

Does this mean the addition of BLU, COR and PUP mobs too?

And I expected the 500k price for dynamis, but the 15k for limbus is a shocker.

 

[Tyrath]

Probably not.

Whats Drg's 2hr in Dynamis again?:nyam:

This gear is darker, looks alot better IMO. Like someone else said, can't wait to see the stats (/crosses fingers for blue magic skill +).

 

[Dayner]

... i don't really call that as makeover but iam happy with lowering the entry Fees

 

[Shirai]

... i don't really call that as makeover but iam happy with lowering the entry Fees

Most of the relic gear is just a recollor of the gear, these won't be any different.
I mean why put in a completely new design?

Anyway, for the Limbus prices going down I'm pretty happy.
And I'm sure that our people going for relic weapons will be equally pleased with the Dynamis entry fee going in half.

 

[Dayner]

no i hoping they change whole dynamis system

like making shorter , more challenging and more fun at same time just like what they did in salvage and limbus

in the end they just add new relic , make relic drop more and lower the entry fees

i hardly call that as makeover

Oh sorry I misunderstood.

However I am not aware of any changes made in Limbus apart from the price drop from 50k to 30k a while ago, and I've had sea and have been doing limbus close to 2.5 years now.
