I think it's a good idea. It's a nice boost in XIV

Is there a way to filter our merc/RMT yells? I'm using the in-game filter and I don't see the yells in-game, but they're still relayed to Discord

You forget they brought back EP farming because people kept whining about the old EXP system/parties of the Golden Age FFXI.

I've never been one of those screaming to have that system back, but I sorta (partly) enjoyed it back then so I was happy they thought about it.
They've just been way too hardcore about it.

To be fair even the Capacity Points system was incredibly grindy at first. I remember Byrth doing a calculation that showed it would've taken years to even cap job points on a SINGLE job.
But then they adjusted it, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, until we reached the point where it was very easy, fast (perhaps too fast?) and didn't feel like a grind anymore.
One would've expected some small adjustments to come to the EP system too and yet it's been years and other than more camps and locus mobs, nothing happened.

Icing on the cake is the Death penalty. Making so death matters is good, in theory, but we didn't have such a harsh penalty not even in the original FFXI (it got changed like in late 2004 or early 2005 with a "cap". Dying generated a % loss in Exp, but that number was never higher than a certain fixed value, a cap. There's no "cap" in EP and dying at ML50 is ~80k EP loss, which is huge).

But then the FFXI silver knights defend the system saying "but but, you don't NEED ML to do endgame!"
And to a certain extent I can't say they're wrong, you don't.
And getting the first 20 levels is fast, gettin to 30 is not too bad either.
I wonder if they would've said the same back during the original Job Points System, or during the golden age "but but you don't need level 75 to play endgame!"
And to be fair you didn't, at least for the first few years. Altough honestly, while extremely grindy, I'm not sure levelling in that era was THIS harsh.

Amazing update, Can't wait to do World bosses at Limbus with other players, plus besieged #.# is becoming more fun eqch itteration.

I've been compiling my own list of augments for a while as well, so far looks like mostly just good for being extra OP in level capped content like ballista which is not very popular these days but if I find even 1 DW augment there's enough slots that I will break the game so I will continue for a while.

It almost doesn't matter for BST anyways which sub you pick. Lynx has +25% attack without any defense penalty. /WAR sub is more for the extra 12% DA, which IMO seems like less of a reason to use it at all, given the large number of MA gear options available.

We used to track day of week and time, but I agree there is no rhyme or reason to the augments. You can also get conflicting augments (like hp+11 hp-10). It's like a very low quality Oseem system.

I did manage to get Critical Hit Rate +1% on a Terra's Staff and STR+1 on Behemoth Mantle +1 for ballista, but those are the only good stats I could get. It's a very ideal system for something like Ballista though, if you dont just accept the synced down stats

I remember this being a big risk I almost died with my genie Weskit on the line. Got +5 INT on it which was godly back then.

Hmm, since there are examples of enmity+ augs in byrth's list, an Aumoniere +1 could technically become the best in slot enmity+ ammo with even a +1 aug. But uhh.. god, you'd probably tear through a ton of them trying to get enmity+ at all. Augmenting an NQ would need a +2 aug to surpass existing options, and I don't see any enmity+2 augs recorded so far. Could well exist, I just don't recall any personally, and there's none in the list.

Needs at least 3 MDB to beat Vanir Battery, and Vanir doesn't cause you to lose TP, so even then it would be quite a small niche...

it's safe to roll the dice on new versions of old rewards

New Brutal Earring > Double Attack +10% / Store TP +2

More Limbus NMs? What they're releasing this month are the Domain Invasion style NMs. Maybe the reward items are things like accessories (e.g., modern versions of stuff like Brutal/Loquacious Earrings), and they'll further expand the NM system later for Homam/Nashira style armor sets.

Didn't they mention something about new high tiers too? Can't recall if that was a 2026 thing if so, but that would also be a possibility - Bahamut high tier or something.

The FoV NM fights are daily, iirc. JP midnight reset.

I used to do Black and Green ribbons to try to get ele resist+ on them. iirc, I saw up to +20, making for a total+30~32 ele resist piece. Which was pretty good back at 75. Now... not so much. I'm uncertain if the augment caps differ by slot. To be useful now, the ele resist would have to be in an accessory slot. Like with the light/dark earring idea.

Designing your content around botting services is really incredibly defeatist and dumb. Just monitor the content and ban them. Fukin ez.

If you don't think limbus giving better ep than locus camps wouldn't end up wirh every botter at those camps in limbus.... Well would you be interested in buying a bridge?

One more whole level of besieged. Is that not enough!?

Nothing specific in mind, just a small general comment. But I could see it being relevant in Limbus NMs or something.

And yeah, use Berserk or don't, depending on situation. It's not even that huge of a difference here, and might not even be necessary depending on target and other buffs/debuffs (e.g., Slug def down + Dia + atk buffs may be sufficient to cap attack without Berserk). Just something I always consider for any job (this isn't specific to BST) when thinking about subjob - if /WAR with Berserk up is roughly equivalent DPS to some other sub, I'd lean toward the choice that doesn't come with a substantial defense penalty.

Yeah, I took a relook and the issue with he ffxiah one is that the values are "not correct" as in looking at one item it says its 440 when the last almost 10 sales sold for 400.
Not sure how FFXI maths it out but probably better to fill the value in yourself

What are they going to do for the November "bigger" update? Thought the Limbus NMs would come then but we're getting them in September. November is always a bigger update unless they're not doing that anymore

No, it doesn't.

The bots would just move. This keeps them from hogging limbus camps.

The issue I have with this is its not making any of the gear requirements easier like nynja said. Its lowering the knowledge and thought requirements. Makes it so people don't need to learn about what theyre doing. New players should be playing with the wiki up whenever they do something new.

I made my own spreadsheet as well. Never knew this existed.
More convenient for me to use mine for mathing out stuff though.

Snarl is irrelevant if there's dangerous AoE, for instance. But yeah, that probably means WAR wouldn't be using it either, so your "If WAR can use Berserk..." statement remains true :)


Yes, I get it. That's your one particular party setup and it had a DNC main. Cool, I loved seeing the information you provided about that. But that is a nice jumping off point for things that are more broadly applicable for using BST in parties other than YOUR one specific party.

I'm now proceeding to a logical extension of that discussion, which is that a lot of the time you might find yourself on BST and in a party WITHOUT a DNC main. In that rather common case, I was trying to think about who would be the best party member to handle Sambas. A lot of people do tend to have the COR handle it, which is why I was looking a lot at COR.


Even in the scenarios I ran through the sim, with only melee buffs (HM/VM/Min5/Min4 + Chaos/Sam), Leaden Salute is STILL doing more damage than any physical WS from either job. That's often going to be the case just because it's a good WS. So I'm not saying "changing all the buffs". I am saying that maybe your party also has a GEO (or you're in an alliance with a GEO or two) and somebody drops a Malaise bubble - OK, that makes Leaden EVEN BETTER. Especially if you're there on BST and can use Slug, you might have everyone already capping attack (Corrosive Ooze + Chaos Roll + BRD attack buffs + Dia is a lot) so if there was a GEO there, I'd probably be looking at Malaise as more useful at that point.


Who cares whether they're already dual wielding? Dual wielding or not, whoever is using Sambas is also doing less frequent WS just due to the TP cost (and JA delay) to maintain it. You probably don't really want the job that is firing off higher damage WS to be the one sacrificing THEIR TP to provide Sambas to the rest of the party - pick someone whose WS are weaker relative to the other party members.

If comparing the COR and BST in my above scenarios, the strongest DD potential in order is:
1. COR if magical WS is viable/not massively resisted (even without any magical buffs)
2. BST using purely physical WS
3. COR using purely physical WS



Simulators/spreadsheets/etc are not perfect and never have been, but the Kastra sim is one of the best tools we currently have to estimate DPS performance. All I did was tell everyone the parameters I set for transparency's sake, not sure what you mean by "a whole bunch of assumptions".

Your actual real world data is useful too. But I didn't have time to go run multi-hour CP parties with multiple permutations of party setups.

The addon is great and i thank you for your effort.
I have a question: in ambuscade enemies' tp moves are wrong. Is it a known issue or is there anything i don't understand?

Thanks in advance

I love seeing new players that said I'm also not a babysitter. Its on them to be self motivated and to look for the information. If they're not going to put the work in, why should I? I don't invest any energy into people who aren't willing todo that themselves. A

A while back a former member of my sortie group wanted to bring his highly undergeared, underskilled and erratically available RL friend to our 8 boss runs when we needed a rep. He was cor and I had to walk him step by step rolling multiple runs. It was an argument when we had a full time slot and the member wanted his friend to join. I said hard no, to the dumbest argument I've ever heard in this game. His friend would get invested if we picked him up, to me I want to play with people who are invested in the game without being carried through the current content.

I have been in support of a lot of changes like omeb cards and dyna shard decreases, i fully agree making the game more accessible is a good thing for us all. That said they shouldn't be dumbing the game down. Like this stuff is almost 20 years old, information is easily available. People dying to this should be failing until they learn the game better.

I seriously worry they'll give Xi the Xiv treatment in an attempt to appeal to the masses we'll loose the game we have. If I wanted something to hold my hand I would be playing another mmo
