Update info is up

"The clamming mini-game on Purgonorgo Isle has been expanded."

Sweet! Oh yeah, no one but me likes clamming.

"Select guilds are now offering new key items available for purchase with guild points."

Sounds good. The example shows an item with enchantments to get synth support. Clever.

"Several new fishing rods have been introduced."

Hmm... this could be good or bad.

"A new synthesis recipe for black ink has been introduced. In conjunction with this addition, the item's buying price has also been adjusted."

Shihei price nerf?

"A confirmation message will now appear when purchasing goods from another player’s bazaar.
Example: Purchase 3 sleepshrooms for 570 gil?"

THANK GOD.

"[The following adjustments have been made to the fishing system:]"

The tired stuff sucks, but the new music and the "claimed" monsters is good.
 
did snow lillies ever have a purpose? I got one right after CoP came out and have been holding onto it forever, just wondering.

I like the new ballista changes. Especially the no-subjob option. BLM no cures, and no /nins bwahahahahahaha... That will be a lot more fun than this utsusemi nonsense.

As for the exp chart, hmm. Well look at how it used to be, how screwed up is that o_O. Now its an actual curve in difficulty, instead of ker-chunking huge increases at certain levels. Looks like the 60's takes a noticable reduction while the 70s is still similar to what it used to be. Hmm...
 
My guesses on TNLs:

51->52: 8000 (said in update)
53: 9000
54: 10000
55: 11000
56: 12000
57: 14000
58: 16000
59: 18000
60: 20000
61: 21000
62: 22000
63: 23000
64: 24000
65: 25000
66: 26000
67: 27000
68: 29000
69: 31000
70: 33000
71: 35000
72: 37000
73: 39000
74: 41000
75: 43000

If that's the case, that's over 20% less XP needed from 51-75 (574k instead of 725k.)

I repeat. Wow.

EDIT: 63 was there twice.
 
I like the adjustments to ballista, however I think reserving the area is gonna be a problem. With all the people playing ballista nowadays, getting a reservation for any time soon will more htan likely be a problem. Just a prediction though, I hope I'm wrong. I was really excited about this area o.o;
 
I just added some refrence lines on the graph that see provided to give a little easier visual representation of the changes, I see that someone above already did some math (math is hard) to estimate the reduction to be somewhere around 110K o.O

Shihei price nerf?

Moreso a "Fishers who HQ Black Ink from Squids and sell to NPC for 3-6k a synth" nerf. Although more ink in the AH may lead to a Shihei price drop, yes.

Wow just does not seem to cut it ;p

As soon as I saw this, I realized I am defintly leveling another job to 75, it is SO much easier now ^^

That makes perfect sense. As the chart shows it as being the same at 75 :D

Yeah, there's that too. Forgot about that money making scheme. That's probably more what they had in mind.

I still think it's not fair.

Maybe more of a marketing strategy to get new players to see more enjoyment, or get ppl that moved to WoW to come back, nerfing the exp requirement so it's just as easy to reach hl as in WoW? :?
 
I updated the graph to add what a lot of 75's are thinking right now:

lol, Cubs...

What's it say in the black ink, though? (For the old tnl system, that is.) Closest I can figure out is Stunnaz, but that makes no sense...
 
Even with a 500ktnl reduction, ffxi would beat wow in sheer time put into a job to cap by a significant margin. However wow is more designed for the majority of players to be at cap, in fact its almost expected to have one or more characters at cap now, a couple months after release. ffxi, not so much. Also, you gotta remember that wow is mostly quest based and each job does not directly impact any other job you level since its a new character each job. So you get the benifit of doing all the quests and getting every quest reward each time you level a new job. Its like apples and oranges... One may take less time but that doesnt necessarily mean its easier. I dislike comparing the two, since they are both great games just designed with different focus in mind.

I'm honestly shocked at how big the reduction is. Maybe restarting from scratch won't be so bad now.
 
This will help you calculate how much exp was wasted based upon your 50+ jobs level. Enjoy. -_-
