Does the update go live after maintenance?
No, this maintenance is for resetting Login Campaign. There will be an update tomorrow.

Incoming massive price spike on Pluton/Beitetsu/Riftborn Boulder
Many people called it, including myself. Glad I hoarded a bunch of them on multiple mules!

Its 2016, will new plds please stop complaining about having to make aegis, for what aegis does its worth the time to make. Ppl need to learn to be more efficient with their playtime. Tip gear thf and farm dyna its stupid easy.
Aegis or bust shouldn't be the answer. There should be some type of middle ground.
I'm not sure that not having aegis is as big of a bust as you think it is. Yes, for reisenjima you're going to want aegis but that's endgame. I'm pretty sure (although I haven't done it yet) that I can tank all other content without it. I tanked Vir'ava tonight with adamas on and full mdt and meteor was only doing like 500 dmg. I would argue that pld meta can be changed more to what 14 has in that if the move isn't going to one shot you then really its all about having enough hp to survive.

Welp, now I have several reasons to get back to farming lots and lots of Gil.

While this notion of yours may have been acceptable in the past, with being able to spam dyna it no longer is. It is quite easy for everyone to get any relic in the minimum time of 1.5 weeks. Even if you don't want to farm the coins yourself, they are very inexpensive on the AH.

That's strange, they've always separated their Login Campaign reset and Update into two. I remember one time they did one back to back with the other.

Nah... should be something to tide you over... You should never need BiS to do endgame.

Yes Gil is easy to make. Shouldn't force Aegis as a mandatory item for endgame. Not saying a PLD looking to be the best shouldn't aim for it but there should be something in the middle. Besides tho. Every PLD wants Aegis (and should be aiming to get it)

* Weapons which already have an afterglow effect only require one item instead of 10,000.
Pretty sure AG owners won't be unhappy with this.

That's just patch note talk for the cap will vary depending on weapon DMG, IE the same as before.

I giggled.
I still have Twashtar and Vajra to upgrade though, but the grinding won't take that long. You can Tenzen VD is pretty easily

The following weapons will dispense special ammunition.
Yoichinoyumi / Annihilator / Gastraphetes / Death Penalty / Gandiva / Armageddon
Interesting, my question (which will be answered once miners finish/servers go live) is, do all versions do this or only after the upgrade? It lists this change after the table of upgrades but doesn't specify the actual version of the weapons. On a side note...I hope they're sexy ammo for the weapons they're produced from...

* All weapons will have the same attributes post-reforging.
Ha. So all RME basically have the same stats, just increased dmg and skill only?
I don't even see that as a necessary for Nirvana or Aymur.

Ok, what specifically do you mean when you say endgame? Me personally aegis is nothing in terms of a mandatory item/work compared to Idris when you are talking about true endgame like Reisenjima helm nms.

You just had to bring everyone down like that.

Think they mean that AG and non-AG routes will both yield the same result.

Doing the math for converting from 119 to AG/121, with scoria going for 5 mil, marrows 1.5 mil, riftcinders 1.5 mil:
It will be cheaper to go the 10,000 beitetsu route as long as beitetsu are below 75k each
It will be cheaper to go the 10,000 pluton route as long as plutons are below 37,500 each
It will be cheaper to go the 10,000 boulder route as long as boulders are below 450,000 each
edit: for empys that use riftdross (using price of 250k each): it will be cheaper to go the 10,000 boulder route as long as boulders are below 75k each

I don't know. It seems as though mythic SCH or BLM staves got a nice upgrade, and Idris got a nice macc and mab upgrade.

laeva/tupsi are still not good for raw damage, especially since grioavolr got a mab/macc cap buff.
idris is good for enfeebs, but solstice still dunks it for max damage due to no int
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.
