Same gear list on the JP side, so there is a chance they haven't updated the campaign yet.

There's no way to know til it starts.
They should be included, if they aren't then their appearance rate will ever so slightly decrease.
The belt still worth getting, sell it and buy the (hoxne piece) ammo, worst case

did besieged today and didn't get a bunch of temps (really only had Giant's Drink, Revit and few other random useless things) so i was thinking NPCs got captured, but on the besieged map it doesn't show anywhere as having prisoners.
does it take a bit for the conquest map to update? I need my damn braver's drink and solider's drink and etc so I can more easily Intervene charmed people to death during undead swarm

I was just about to ask something about besieged prisoners and the update interval on besieged map because I had the same issue.
Theres nothing on bg, but ffxiclopedia states it takes approx 24 game hours for the NPC to return. Its likely the NPC you need has already been freed and is making their way back.

Looks like the campaign has been updated (this morning! Sorry, yep, I was unclear what I was saying here)?
Quote: For the duration of the campaign, the drop rate of the following equipment will be increased.
Kyrene's Earring / Hypaspist Earring / Sroda Earring / Nicander's Necklace / Sroda Necklace / Epaminondas's Ring / Menelaud's Ring / Sroda Ring / Orpheus's Sash / Sroda Belt / Sroda Tathlum / Hoxne Ampulla / Hoxne Torque / Hoxne Earring / Hoxne Ring

bgwiki says that Automatons get +1 skill/ML, but I'm not seeing that (more like +1/2ML). Can anyone confirm?
Nevermind, I think it just doesn't update until they're unsummoned/resummoned.

I might be over thinking this but I want “Mega Moglification: Fishing” over “Moglification: Fishing“
I ask only because “Moglification: Fishing” states “slightly easier to reel in a catch”. Where the Mega version mentions skill and discernment. Thanks.

That's consistent with the always-been-that-way behavior of puppets not leveling up alongside the master. Have to Activate a fresh puppet and it will then reflect the correct stats based on the master's level. And in this case, apparently also the master's Master Level :P

I also ran into this issue while dual boxing two characters in a Besieged today, and one of my characters was missing temps that the other one did receive. Weird.

Did anyone go out to Limbus to watch the scheduled GM kills or see what happened? Just out of curiosity; I missed the talk of it if so.

Normally, Restraint gives Delay / 385 worth of WSD
Do 20/20 job points decrease the 385 denominator to 231?
How does that interact with Boii Mufflers +3, which are termed as Restraint +130?
Something like 2.3*Delay/231 WSD? Feels weird to modify both the numerator and denominator.

Being able to use a client command (an outgoing chunk) to set the monster's HP to 1 feels dangerous and I'd hope they'd do some pretty serious auth around it. I know that other GM-specific commands are tied to wearing specific GM gear, so hopefully there's a similar, server-side check.

I arrived towards the end of the last Omega Forerunner kill on Asura, but arrived into to watch it die.
...Why did the 2nd GM *have* to pull the adds way? >_>;

Because they're noobs and didn't know what the *** they were doing. took em like 3 whole minutes when it should've taken 1 second.
Not even sure why they needed to physically be there at all. Could've just despawned it with a command.

For you smart guys: Let us know when you've figured out how to do this on our end so we can solo Aminon 9-boss runs.

Interesting. I did see a few dead Volunteer NPCs during the besieged that I noticed I had like no temps, but I was only single-boxing during that besieged. I had friends who were with me who said they didn't get them either though, and our server still shows no prisoners at the moment.
Haaven't hit another besieged since then to see if the temps or back or what but it definitely seemed kinda odd.

Yup, it caps at 30% bonus naturally and the gloves multiply that.
I don't think it's that odd, it's just a unique trait. JP decreases time to hit cap, gloves increase damage you get per hit.

If you had to attribute/recommend a minimum master level for Aminon, and perhaps basement Sortie in general, what would your recommendation be?

For general endgame, I'd recommend 30 as a baseline for most content... its easily achievable and provides the bulk of your stats.
For aminon specifically, 45 is ideal for most jobs. Allows new PLDs who sub RUN to get foil, allows RDM and GEO subbing dark to get the next tier of Occult Acumen, and its just overall alot more stats.
That being said, 45 is a much longer grind than 30, and 30 is EASILY serviceable. Realistically, you could kill Aminon at ML0. Its just a huge chunk of accuracy/macc you're losing

I'm not sure what changed; something in Nvidia/DgVoodoo maybe, but now for whatever reason, I can start the game in borderless fullscreen and that works just fine, but if I let the game idle and Windows goes back to the login screen, the game just refuses to go back to occupying the whole screen. I'm typing //window_togglefullscreen and it very briefly refills the full screen, then less than a second later it returns to a windowed mode. Any idea what setting I may have broken along the way?

Agree with this, but I think "ideally" is doing some heavy lifting here.

I would say it depends on the job, but for me, ML20 minimum, ML30 recommended, anything beyond that is "nice to have". Even the "Minimum" is a loose minimum, I've done plenty of Sortie on ML0-ML10 jobs, and hundreds of Aminons on ML25~30 jobs. I only have 1 job that's ML45+ and it's BRD, so gains *** from the OA tier.

I'm making a shield and bought the final crafter points items. Can I contract with a different guilds to farm GP, or will it destroy my shield?

You can definitely change GP guilds any time you want. It is extremely difficult and deliberate to stop the escutcheon process.

Are the servers running like *** for anyone else? I'm getting a crazy about of lag and dropped packets, NPC's taking 0-3 seconds to reply. It did lead to some funny and annoying scenarios:

Both Asura and Bahamut running like crap for me today. Haven't noticed elsewhere, but seems reasonable to assume others probably are as well.
Edit: On Ashita, probably known to most but figured I'd clarify since Byrth mentioned Windower.
