I kinda want SE to reintroduce ‘racial benefits to certain jobs’:

Like, ‘if you’re Taru you by default do 70% more MB II damage’.

Either the prices normalize naturally or ambitious folks pay the few bucks to race change. Win for SE either way, no big deal.

I haven't really seen anyone do a spreadsheet/sim quality breakdown of how the sets effect jobs, though. So, at this point there's probably not even a huge difference in perceived value of the 5 sets and people are probably fine with 1:1 trades with friends.

I was kinda planning to at least make some comments, but it needs to be look at from every job perspective, not from every group of jobs perspective (unless sometimes when it's about idle set). So it would take a lot of time to to only assume, but really compare stuff. Maybe I will start tomorrow.

Fellas, whats gonna affect the prices of these race shards more:
The correlation between jobs to race used here
or
percentage of the playerbase playing each race?


How many Jewel of Aff. will come from limbus boxes when ~7% of the playerbase is galka?

That's hilarious. I also recently found the ugliest hume female:



Seriously though, how fast can you change back to your old race if you decide to switch? I wouldn't (because I'm Elvaan, the best race in the game), but for folks who might be less fortunate...

id be fine if they just reverted it back to the old racial differences, only HP/MP really mattered anyway and we got enough to cover those without much issue

Just race change when you want to farm a new armor set.

SE logic is they think we are actually social and will trade with each other shards we need. I bet Japanese people will do exactly that.

I mean we have this from 2014


http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/guide/development/census/12/index.html

So assuming the numbers haven't changed too much we're looking at at least 4 tarus for every galka which makes it hard to just trade for what you need.

It's not like the trade ratio is 10:1...2:1 is really not that bad. You can easily get the shards you want, at least to uncurse a piece or 10 of armor.

No shard (in a logical world) will ever be more than 2x the value of any other shard.

What if the race shards needed were based on the AA race instead? So cowardice is TT, for instance. Do we know it is the player's race that matters?

The update notes said your reward is based on your character's race. The race shards do seem to be based on the AA race, but you can only earn shards that match your character's race. Seems like a quick cash grab for race changes, tbh.

While doing shards by race makes sense for lore reasons, it doesn't at all make sense for gameplay reasons, and that is stupid.

second this, I thought the player would get a random shard (and then the shards would upgrade the corresponding AA race's gear), I misread the announcement in a far less stupid way lmao

It looks like BG is still missing item images and icons for all the new gear sets except Bravery and Clemency, plus a smattering of the cursed items. I know an incredible amount of new items were just added all at once, will there be another pass to get these remaining outliers uploaded?

Anyone can make the NM pages. They just don't want to.

If someone can point me in the direction of write-ups for the new NMs, I'd be glad to edit them and make pages for the NMs.

I think Ultima and Omega have already been covered, have they not?

Edit: Oh wait, it looks like Ultima doesn't have a page yet. I'll take care of that here soon, thanks for the links.

I was talking about the tier 1 and 2 NMs. Furthermore, does anyone remember the names of the T2 NMs for both Apollyon and Temenos?

What did I get wrong? NOTE: I didn't write the top paragraph, it's already up on the actual Limbus page.

Up to four Needed Notorious Monsters may be present in each zone, located randomly Needed throughout the floors

I have reason to believe this is partially incorrect

Only one NM can be alive in any individual wing (NW NE SW WE (Apy), N E W C (Teme), you wont see two NM's alive at the same time in NE apy for example), the NMs and their designated jobs and spawn location are assigned on reset.

---

I would fix the Roaming NM table and just make three columns. You dont need to repeat "Warrior" 2x.

Interact with N number of ???.

Minor clarification, but I'm pretty sure this is "spawn X number of ???, not interact.

I appreciate the feedback! Got those edits in. I've also edited the tables for the zone sectors / floors on my user page. I'm not familiar with the way the wiki's software works, so before I go making live changes entries that will effect multiple pages, I wouldn't mind another set of eyes to run through the "Tables" section at the top of the linked page. They are minimal changes, but changes regardless.
