The VW battles in Provenance don't even have alignment values, and the rewards are completely random.

The VW battles in Provenance don't even have alignment values, and the rewards are completely random. You think a dmc119 could solo the whole zone? And if no lights are present, are all key item drops 100%? The mobs still have some annoying moves so might have a hard time without displacers. If you care about PW itself you might have a rough time on that. KIs definitely not 100%

I don't think you need lights for those? You don't "need" lights for any of it. But because of the nature of provenance they do different things. KIs if they drop are done upon monster death so white light will help with that.
Drops however are obtained after completely exiting the battle from the spot you click so lights are no longer in effect. I believe SE said something along the lines of to compensate for not being able to increase droprate with lights they increased base... which might be true but they still seem worse than getting good lights so meh.

They should have just kept in the RUN card glitch. Would have solved the exchange rate problem for cards.

KIs definitely not 100% I can do displacers if needed on them all no problem, I just want all the key items and clears so I can be done with it. I've done the three radiances on a ***-equipped DNC and 5 trusts with no problems (using Displacers).
Provenance Watcher instead I've never managed to solo even with 5 Displacers =/

I'm surprised people aren't getting burned out already from Omen, considering for many of us there's hardly many other things to be doing in game atm.
That's because you use the same people on the same jobs using the same strategy on every single boss fight without mixing it up. Wut? No way! Who told you that? :( We always rotate jobs.
I've been using BRD until I got done then buh-bye BRD, then GEO until I got done and buh-bye GEO. Lately I'm on RDM, seldom SMN and tipically SCH if we're doing Kei.
Other people been rotating lots of jobs as well, we swap jobs and roles quite a lot! Granted the strats we use are probably kinda always similar, but we're rarely stuck on the same jobs.

Quote: 15th Vana'versary Records of Eminence Objectives Part One (07/03/2017)
We're pleased to announce a new set of Records of Eminence objectives brimming with anniversary spirit!
The overarching theme of these objectives is nostalgia—the team will add multiple objectives spread over five different version updates, with each objective hearkening back to memories of Vana'diel that we hope many of you have shared over the years.
The first set of objectives revolves around the three nations and the game's original release, so adventurers who have been with us from the very beginning will likely recognize some of the events to which these objectives are referring. Even if you didn't play FINAL FANTASY XI in its first few years, we hope you take the time to experience a little slice of what Vana'diel was like back in the early 2000s.
Event period
From the version update on Wednesday, July 5, 2017, to the version update in May 2018.
Objective
15th Vana'versary Records of Eminence objectives can be set from the Records of Eminence menu after completion of the objective First Step Forward.
Those quests marked as "(Weekly)" may only be completed once per week, and reset when Conquest points are tallied.
Receiving the respective key items requires completion of the objectives displayed at the very top. These objectives will yield different rewards and become weekly objectives after they have been completed for the first time.
15th Vana'versary objectives will remain available after the May 2018 version update, but their rewards will change and you will no longer be able to obtain dial keys #ANV.
Setting the Objectives
1. Select the objective list from the Quests menu.
2. Select "Vana'versary" from the list of categories.
3. Select "15th Vana'versary I." Note that future objectives will have additional subcategories.
4. Set the objective of your choice.
Rewards
Completing an objective will yield certain rewards.
- Dial Key #ANV
These keys may be used to open the Gobbie Mystery Box anniversary dial by speaking with NPCs in the following locations.
Mystrix in Southern San d'Oria (L-7) / Habitox in Port San d'Oria (I-10) / Bountibox in Bastok Mines (K-9) / Specilox in Bastok Markets (I-7) / Arbitrix in Windurst Walls (C-14) / Funtrox in Windurst Woods (G-7) / Priztrix in Upper Jeuno (I-10) / Sweepstox in Lower Jeuno (I-6) / Wondrix in Aht Urhgan Whitegate (F-11) / Rewardox in Western Adoulin (H-10) / Winrix in Eastern Adoulin (G-10)
The anniversary dial may occasionally yield items and equipment not ordinarily found in the special dial.
* You may open the anniversary dial even after the May 2018 version update as long as you possess a dial key #ANV.

Hi.
Dev tracker is a kind of feed in Official Forum that highlight (in the left side bar) posts from development team to players demands, questions and sugestion. Given that those answers are given by someone who effectively works with the deveopment of this game, they can be considered as official and true.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/forum.php
The japanese side of OF has its own dev tracker, that normally is way more active and detailed than english side. If someone feel like translating it to bring the info, feel welcomed too.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/search.php?searchid=15480698
BG site has one specific topic just to publish and discuss those official answers, and i think ffxiah lacks something similar as not everyone here check BG or OF, so lots of details/dev opinion are missed. So, thats the point of this topic, anyone who see new info in dev tracker feeds, quote it here, and start a discussion if you feel like.
Starting now, a couple of new dev posts were released after march update annoucement. Here they are:
Trust changes
Quote: [dev1261] Alter Ego Adjustments
It will be possible to summon alter egos in the following content.
Walk of Echoes
Wanted battles
It will be possible to summon alter egos in the following mission battlefields.
Wings of the Goddess missions
When Wills Collide / Maiden of the Dusk
It will be possible to summon alter egos for the following quest battlefields.
Wings of the Goddess quests
Champion of the Dawn / The Dawn Also Rises / A Forbidden Reunion
-----
Dev answer to a sugestion to add new ways to obtain dusk type of alluvion skirmish stone.
Quote: Since dusk-type stones were just implemented, we'd like players to do alluvion skirmishes to obtain them, so there are no plans to add the ability to trade other items for these stones at the moment.
However, we'll look into increasing the amount in circulation and the means of obtaining them in some way in a future version update.
Monster rearing news:
Quote: [dev1262] Mog Garden Adjustments
Monster Rearing will undergo the following adjustments.
A monster's mood will no longer degrade from "beaming with pure contentment" after collecting items or interacting with the monster.
The collective moods of all creatures will generate auras of light or darkness that affects them all.
Light
When the number of creatures beaming with pure contentment is greater than that succumbing to darkness, all creatures’ contentment and mood are increased.
Darkness
When the number of creatures succumbing to darkness is greater than that beaming with pure contentment, all monsters' contentment and mood are decreased.
The following information will be displayed when entering your Mog Garden.
The number of days left on assistants’ contracts.
The current affinity of the Mog Garden.
Mog garden gathering points will undergo the following adjustments.
It will be possible to scrap any unwanted flotsam directly without receiving it in cases where the player’s inventory is full or he is otherwise unable to recover it.
Sugestion about blu traits having aditional tier info.
Quote: This is something that is difficult for us to address at the moment as we would have to send data each time you open the menu to see which tier you currently have. We're concerned about this largely affecting UI response time.
Similarly the same holds true for saving the data client-side as well. Since all of the trait data for this would have to be saved, it would consume large amounts of memory, which also makes this feature difficult to implement.
