Sorry to be a newbie. (returning player) how do you get the mog pells and is it repeatable? They are only available during special events, and none have been repeatable so far. There will be an opportunity to get them for just logging in over the next month, but only if you already have certain items. Details are at:

Yeah, and we can see what we already knew from the data-mine. Four new Dynamis zone.
Think we can see San D'Oria in that pic, can we?
Image is too small for me to discern details. I can see some players, some avatars, what else?

Oh NVM now I see the pic clearly. Those are, rightfully so, Orcs.
Wonder if this new event will be about ilevel Relic Armor. Should be!
How will they justify this new iDynamis in the story though? And how will they justify the presence of jobs like RUN and GEO in there?

I dunno, they could've done the same with GEO and RUN for Relic v1, yet they didn't.
Which makes me wonder: what are they gonna do now?

I doubt the 4 new Dynamis zones will have anything to do with Relic Weapons. If anything it's gonna be about Relic Armor, me thinks.

I don't know if this is how they will justify it, but they could justify it as the Dynamis of Lilith's world. This would explain why the monsters are so much stronger.
Since both realities were equally in danger of being devoured, it would follow that Diabolos would try to save them both?
As far as why we could bring RUN or GEO into the zones... We were gods for like 15 seconds, we can do whatever we want!

Karaha Baruha also is the only (?) WHM that casts bar-spells according to the elemental damage your party receives.
Ygnas does, but it's almost a moot point since once you get Ygnas I'd question whether you'll ever use another WHM for anything ever again anyway.

Ygnas sucks as a main healer, I've gone back to using Yoran. Ygnas would work will in theory, but his priorities are completely screwed up and he only casts cure III on me. He's better then the other non-UC healers but no where near as good as Yoran or Apruru.

who care if it all meshes good. We need new content and iDyna is exactly it. could be a ton of new zone and shows they will probably end up reusing limbus/aby too eventually for real events again.

That's why you use Arciela with Ygnas. Plus, you swap to Sylvie if you use Ygnas.

He's also poor at healing August which from a lore perspective is kind of hilarious

Arciela doesn't use Dia III, so I'll pass on that.

Did all that, ygnas still sucked ***. Running all around doing dumb things when I have 400hp left. I tried the ygnas + sylvie combo and ultimately it wasn't very good for anything not soloing CP. Have went back to Yoran. I believe SE deliberately made Ygnas like this so as to preserve the UC trusts power.

You get generally fury/frail. Plus, refresh sphere from the combo. My gripes are more with Sylvie's positioning, and triggering Indi precision through swapping to Meva/curing self(since no acc). The whole running around thing plagues all the trusts that stand back.

The whole running around thing plagues all the trusts that stand back. As a DRK, I've already got like +100% attack between Qultada's Chaos Roll, Smite, Last Resort, and sometimes Vorseals (plus she'll often drop it when I Endark/Dread Spikes myself mid-battle, or swap into MEVA/MDB set for a spell/TP move), so Fury isn't as helpful as Dia, and Frailty is entrust only, so it's even more unreliable than her normal buffs.
I'd never be able to solo stuff like Bashmu with a sub-par healer like Ygnas, even discounting his tendancy to erase Haste II.

Last major battle content update in FFXI: OMEN, November 2016 - Artifact +2/+3
Next major battle content update in FFXI: iDynamis (speculation) November 2017 - Relic +2/3 (guessing)
1 full year. Should be a pretty clear indication that any new content may be once per year.
With that said, should be a good time for many to resub, myself included, as it coincides with the "Return Home to Vana'Diel" campaign.
Well played, SE. Well played...

Well welcome back (soon). It's a shame you lost all those Canteen's but hopefully you enjoyed your break.

What Canteens? You mean the ones I could use to get 3-4 cards for my already 70+ card jobs, a .0006% body drop since I have everything else, or none of the listed Ou hand gear since those rarely ever drop anyways? These canteens can die slow as I pour them on the ground for my dead homies.
I was more or less referring to the timing, which many other players referred to on numerous occasions, and looks like they were correct. My only thing is, if this update is only for relic+2/3, it will be a long time before we see empyrean upgrades.

Can't wait for Abyssea 3.0
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.
