With the release of each version update, Vana'diel continues its transformation into an ever more adventurer-friendly realm. In staying true to this tradition, the development team is working hard on a host of adjustments and additions that will allow our players to focus on what they do best: adventuring!
Chariot, Empress, and Emperor Bands
To date, recharging these items required that adventurers call upon guard NPCs located within designated conquest areas and towns. Depending on their current job level, however, adventurers may find these areas to be a considerable time and distance away from their current base of operation. To address this inconvenience, West Aht Urhgan and Past Vana'diel are scheduled to be added to the list of rechargeable locations for the bands. The price of the service in these new locations will be consistent with that of existing areas.
Treasure Coffers and Chests
That these mysterious containers house an assortment of highly sought-after items such as artifacts and maps is no secret. Such is their popularity among adventurers that those who seek them wishing to acquire the aforementioned items are often left frustrated by others who have different spoils, namely miscellaneous items and gil, in mind. The December version update will see the respawn time for coffers and chests significantly cut specifically for those in the hunt for items such as artifacts and maps.
Jeuno
Recent adventurer lifestyle-related improvements made to town areas have focused mainly on the three nations. In light of current adventuring trends in Aht Urhgan and the recent influx of new adventurers, the spotlight has been cast once more upon Jeuno. Adventurers can look forward to the following changes during their visits to the duchy following the December version update:
- The sales tax imposed on bazaars will be abolished in all areas of the duchy.
- Teleportation to Aht Urhgan Whitegate will be available for mercenaries via the Salaheem's Sentinels representative NPC in Upper Jeuno
I think that the coffers will only respawn faster if you open them for quest/maps. Otherwise RMT would start putting mules at the coffer pops with stacks of tools just for Gil pops.
.... And as for those that are complaining that they are making the game too easy..
I've been here since the N/A release and imho this game could use a bit of easiness.
There is no sense in whining about the fact you had it harder "back in the day".
Your time is better spent taking pride in the fact that it was more challenging when you did it, instead of resenting those that can do it now...
I'm sick of that grandfather mentality of "I used to walk to school in seven feet of snow, uphill... both ways, you kids have it so easy"
This game is meant for having fun, kudos to SE for starting to make that more of a priorty.
When do they make an NPC that we trade a earth crystal too that gives us automatic 75 too?
I mean lets face it taking a char from 1 to 75 is just not easy enough, it takes time! Oh sure we don't need to buy food anymore, we don't need to level up our weapons, D weapons are just fine these days it seems… Hell I know I love partying along side Ninja dancers that think they are holding hate in the 30's.
I just don't think it's fair that I can't be 75 next week! Curing is curing and that's all a whm does anyway, not like I need to "learn" how to "play" the job.
I think all this "SPED" game play rocks! (special education for those of you who can't grasp the acronym and recognize the sarcasm in this post).
You know I had to start over and to get my 50 cap broken I actually had to walk to 4 different places and kill 4 YES 4!!!! entire mobs to get the items! (anyone playing this game long enough are laughing atm).
BAH!
warp my jobs to 75 already.
ive been here sence NA release and i worked very hard to get all the af's and maps,and air ship passes.this game is becoming way to easy.
thats the reason i stayed with ffxi over all other games,i dont wanna beat a game in afew monthes and have all the best gear w/o some kinda work.
not cool SE,not cool at all! |
