Quote: Apologies for the confusion, the Rao set should say “Augments Martial Arts”.
We’ve gone ahead and adjusted the previous chart that I posted so that it more clearly represents the bonus effects.

Quote: Considering the information that was mentioned during Freshly Picked Vana'diel 20, we understand the desire to equip a shield; however, there are no plans to add a shield with the requested stats for beastmaster at this time.
Instead of thinking of ways to combine defensive capabilities (and making use of the Fencer job trait) with reduction to the recast time for Ready, we would like players to devise ways to adapt and handle various situations. For example, electing to maintain a low recast time for Ready while covering the defensive side with positioning, or focusing on defense while slightly sacrificing the Ready recast time.

Quote: The initial effect of the job trait Inquartata gives a 5% increase to the rate of parry while the subsequent ranks increase this effect by 2%. The effect of “Inquartata +” when wearing Erilaz Leg Guards gives you an additional rank (+2%), and when wearing Erilaz Leg Guards +1, it gives you two additional ranks (+4%).
While I cannot share the exact value of the parry cap, when fighting a monster that is the same level or above, the value is such that you will not be able to reach the maximum. On the other hand, when fighting monsters that are lower level than you, there will be cases that you reach the cap; however, these are monsters that are so weak that you wouldn’t be rewarded experience points from them.

Stay tuned for details!

Quote: Table of Vorseal Effects
Greetings,
To aid everyone in their adventures, we compiled a table of all the effects of the vorseals that can be used in Eschan areas.
We may also release some hints each week as to how you can acquire them…
*The information listed is for the currently available vorseals as of August 5, 2015.
*1: Enhances the rate in which you obtain multiple personal treasures from notorious monsters.
*2: Increases the rate in which rare monsters spawn when defeating regular monsters. The values listed in the table is a benchmark for the amount of monsters you need to defeat for a rare monster to spawn.
*3: When using the “Luck +” vorseal, you will be granted effects for both Eschan portal cost and the amount of Escha beads.
*4: Amount recovered every 3 seconds.

After all the complaining, they are finally allowing Trusts in Abyssea. I'm calling it now. Next, they will allow them in Dynamis. The following month, Salvage.

These changes are nice but procs are still the limiting factor, whether solo or with trusts, in Aby.
This does make Delve KI and plasm farming easier for small groups, which is welcome.

Melee bird (with trusts) solo?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?! Sorry I only do melee bird with people in my LS.

Wonder if trusts will be able to proc in Abby,would be kinda for those who don't have the correct procs needed that wanna be able to farm certain drops. Also can one person enter delve? Or is 3 still the requirement?

I know I might be wrong, but it just seems TOO logical not to happen in Oct or Nov as one of the final major content updates. What better way to add a grind that people might actually want to stick around to do, to keep them occupied after the game goes into maintenance mode?
Salvage armor was the pinnacle for so long that it just seems fitting that the game would go out with a way to bring it back to the top of the heap until the end...

Wow I might just get my Jp on bst in incursions then.
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.
