We haven't had an update this massive in a long time
Capping off Limbus with this guy? Fetters and all!

I'm fine with there being some OHKO things, and I'm all for not making these fights overly boring.
I think in their current state there's a bit too much ***going on though.
They don't need to go from one extreme to the other, but some small tweaks here and there would be apreciated, imho.

So anyone figure out how to actually put the augments ON the gear, and rank it up?
From what I know, you take the crafted gear, get 5 shards (of respective type to the armor), 1 alabaster , and 1 murky matter, make the jewel of the respective type and trade it with the "cursed" armor piece, that turns it into the uncursed equipped armor. I've confirmed that myself.
I've tried trading the uncursed armor with shards of the same type, nothing happens. So I'm assuming you have to start making more jewels and keep trading those with the armor? How much RP does each jewel make?
If this is the case, they probably should have just made "oh, trade shards in to augment it" leaving the matters to be used for accessories or make more jewels to uncurse more armor. I've run a couple runs this week, gotten shards from every run, but not matters or crafting materials each time (sometimes I get a material, maybe a matter).
No one even doing a bg-wiki page on this ***yet? So each rank is 5 shards and both zones Matters?
Yes. Also, first 3 levels of units/RP line up with the accessories. Was expecting HQ1 to have 25 RP levels, like the necks, but it has 30, which is nice for being able to level it up and transfer when needed. I would guess NQ would be the same too (30 levels of RP)?
It's not a bgwiki page, it's 75 for all the new armor, 75 for all the cursed items, a bunch of crafting materials, shards, information on chests (which is still being validated), information on NMs (which is still being validated), etc. We haven't had an update this massive in a long time, so if you are finding the info on bg lacking, please feel free to do the research and help contribute! |

That's the order they were listed in the DATs, but it'd make more sense for head/legs to be 5% and hands/feet to be 4%. Does the NPC offer any way to verify short of making and augmenting the gear?

Finished my Twashtar! Kept an eye on Ansherekh the whole time I was in the zone, but between Asura having AH supply at 300k/Hide and cleaving the Surveyors at Conflux 8 (the raised area where Rani is), I didn't need to farm as many as I thought. Probably cleaved... like 5/40ish Hides? Not as many as I had feared I'd have to.
(You can cleave the Surveyors forever because they [almost always] die in one Aeolian Edge hit and avoid giving amber light. Melee the one straggler who resists every few cleaves down and get pearl instead. Shoutouts to the poster who mentioned them, I have no idea who you are but I'm pretty sure it was someone on this forum at some point? The other mobs I tried didn't consistently die in one NIN/WAR Aeolian Edge.)
Cleave was 0 lights. Literally nothing but pearl and as much ebon as I built up in the zone. Any amount of amber pushed me into the tier 5 pyxis range way too fast.
Sarabha's drop rate is frustratingly low too, and I honestly ended up getting that hide that from an amber pyxis at least once when I was aiming for Ansherekh's hide. We take those!

Are these the right augments for the new Clemency set?
Head: Clemency somen > QA+4% Enmity-8
Body: Clemency haramaki > QA+6% Enmity-10
Hands: Clemency Kote > QA+5% Enmity-9
Legs: Clemency haidate > QA+4% Enmity-8
Feet: Clemency sune-ate > QA+5% Enmity-9

Units would block players from capping in 1 day.
Units are at least predictable. Matters have RNG.
Matters randomness can gtfo.
I guess unity being a cockblock could be reasonable. You would be able to rank one piece every ~3+ weeks.
I wonder if someone was keeping with Limbus clears from the start and has enough unity and matters to push R30 first week :) |

That would let people to RP to 30 at day one which would be silly. It would only make sense if Shards were Ex, but then it would be even more frustrating with shard being dependent of race.

can anybody trade the items to get gear or do you need a crafter?
You need crafter to craft cursed item from materials (or someone get NQ cursed armor from Gobbie bag and put on AH).
Anyone can buy cursed item from AH or from crafter directly and uncurse it in Limbus's furnace. |

I think there are a couple gear winners, bard and dark knight But holy crap, that's a lot of energy for a side grade..
Lots of the pieces are not side grades at all. They are clearly better. Especially if you don't plan to use Ampulla. Not to mention lots of pieces has several use cases.
How are people honestly looking at these sets and calling them side grades? That sounds like some serious cope and frustration due to the absurd grind, but these sets looks phenomenal.
The Justice/Magnificent/Duty set alone has DA, TA, STP, Subtle Blow, -DT and very good defensive stats to boot. That's like 3 sets in one. For a job like BST that is incredibly slow to DPS, that's a huge bonus.
ffxi players will find any excuse to complain |

I'm not sure that advertising this app as a browser-based client simulator was the best way to announce what you've actually created here, which is a single player version of FFXI that balances nostalgia with a fairly challenging and interesting gameplay concept.
This is honestly an amazing achievement, and I think that the only reason that you're not getting more of a response is that people assume that this is just a model viewer as opposed to an entire self-contained game.
Other than the rebranding suggestion my only request would be that you implement some type of NG+ mode where the enemies have increased stats, etc. It would probably become too difficult to continue with at some point, but figuring out where that breaking point is would be part of the fun.
Shared this point with Aamace too. The first thing I thought when I saw the title was "Oh, is this gonna be another Spreadsheet turned into a Web App"
I wish this had more attention. Because it's the most fun I've had with something FFXI related in a long time. It tickles a nostalgia part of my brain, while adding some incredibly engaging battles. |

Our long national nightmare is exactly 50% over. 25 more wins to go. Also the C1 cup but I'm raising a second, better-at-racing, chocobo. |

Here is the Ultima Forerunner page. Let me know if there is something you see that is incorrect. I pieced this together by copy-pasting info from Omega Forerunner, Proto-Ultima, and replacing all the information I could with the notes players left on the Limbus 2025 thread.

Has anyone bothered to see if the legs give an extra favor tier? If delay goes below 20 seconds? You can do it with the NQ. Otherwise, is there any value in the new limbus armor? Only body looks close, but I'm not sure. Is the +1 to avatar level worth anything?
I can't comment on the bp delay because I don't have this gear, the lowest I've personally gotten is 21 seconds. But what I can say about the level +, I believe the calculation for I-level pets is each level+ after 119 is +10 to all stats, with the amount for acc, evasion, attack, magic acc being roughly double that. |

The matters are what kill this content IMO.
5 sets, 5 pieces, each needing 30murky/30alabaster. This is game that thrives on players playing multiple jobs.
The grind should have been behind the Shards, Crafted material and units. Yes, you could buy two thirds of that off the AH and bot the last part but it would still take years to cap your sets especially as you get to rank25+.
This would also give players a great source of gil for their time and they could slow release other accessories that make use of the matters.

Ragnarok.Vargasfinio said: »The problem with the new Limbus gear is this: Who is it for? I am kinda struggling with this question myself, playing alt characters with my friend, our party is pup rdm bst (not meta, for fun!), our gear is a mix of empy+2/+3, relic +3/+4, af+3/+4. no ody gear, 2 characters have master, low ML (10)
after doing several limbus runs, trying it as different CL119-135 im just quite honestly bored, or a better word exhausted after doing a whole run, pop the chest and 2 of 3 people : 'you get nothing! No matter for you'.
Its just the biggest f-you and disrespect of my time and its really soured me on limbus. The content would be dead to me if we didnt have the jp community being nice and shouting where the ground sparkly ??? are at for tenemos and appolyon every couple days for 3k pts.
And so this new gear comes out and it needs like a ton of things from these chests that dont always give stuff? and I have to full clear all sections and floors to augment rank it, where the good augmentations only kick in at the last 5-10 ranks????? lmao gtfo here with this game design.
Even if you gave me the hq2 version of the armor for free, the thought of how many times id have to grind thru this zones to augment it? yea im good, sounds like too much of a grind for me still. |
