FFXI: March 27th Update Notes


The version update has arrivied! Here are a few notes about what has been updated. For the full list of updates, please see the Offical FFXI Forums here.

New Battle System (New Endgame): Legion
In Legion you and 31 of your closest friends can now enter (For a cost of 360k per alliance) a new battle field. HNMs are going to be all over the place. The more you slay, the better the drops. Something to get excited about in these times of Abyssea and Voidwatch.
Speaking of Voidwatch:
The Tavnazia & Aht Urhgan Jurisictions have been added. Remember Bismark and who I thought might be Slyph from another post? They're the top of the tier in each respected area. New atmacite, abyssite, and periapts have been added.
Nyzul Isle Uncharted Region Adjustments.
Walk of Echos Adjustments.
Besieged Ajustments:
Weakness time during battle is shortend to 1 minute. Players will also no longer loose EXP/Imperial Standing if they are dead when the battle ends.
Limit Break Adjustments.
Beyond Infinity's Weakness item has been made stronger. Now the little bastard will be terrorized and will no longer WS as soon as the effect is off. For the level 75 cap fights, you will now be allowed 3 fights per testimony.

Battle-related:
A majority of merit-point based Job Abilities have been changed. Everything from casting and recast time to higher effectiveness has been changed. Also plenty of other jus ability adjustments such as SMN's elementals taking less MP (New ability to merit SMN casting time has replaced Elemental MP merits.) BST's TH pets are now revised to level one. (Sorry Dyna-BSTs.) Hagakure now saves 40% tp instead of 20% and Dragoon's 2h has been increased in power.

New Spells

White Mage can now learn Arise at level 99. Casts the effect of Raise III and Reraise III on a target. Who hasn't been making an ATHF quote?
Black Mages can finally relive the original game's intro by learning Meteor at level 99. Probably has the most epic description too.
"BLM Lv.99Teaches the black magic Meteor.Join with your comrades to summon a massive meteor from the heavens and smite your foes."
Fantastic. ^^

Cure spell adjustment is finally here. The higher your Healing Magic is will now allow Cures I-IV power to be increased as much as 1.4 times.
