I was in Abyssea-Attohwa having a bunch of mandies hit me while engaged to a tree. :(

Just spent a while trying to skill up parry on abyssea-altep mandys. Not one skillup in like 20mins with the whole group on me. Low level friend is reporting frequent parrying skill ups though. Something is wrong for sure, that or it only works on lower levels.

Weren't the lower level skill ups already increased in a previous update?

This game is becoming quite the solo experience. Double XP, uncapped missions...

Haha, guess I know where I'll be for the next day or two, and with whom I'll be spending my time. Time to get those Verethragna to lvl 90 now, and get some more + along the way.

If you want to just stand around clicking a macro to use an item to open a box for an hour or so before you even earn 10 EXP per mob.

Pretty sure they only lowered the required lvl of the mobs for skillups to occur not necessarily the rate... and higher lvl parrying is atrocious

* Skills may now be increased to their caps by fighting foes rated "Decent Challenge" or stronger.
* Skills will rise more rapidly, and larger values will accompany each skill increase.

Meh it's still balls. I used to skill up parrying on steel shells by just going afk with samba up and Mkris and would be lucky to get 1-2 skillups of any value (usually just +.1) in an hour. And that was with +parry gear and being only like lvl 200 when the cap was 269 with +parry gear and -evasion on....
It's always been balls so even a boost will still probably be sucky

Lakshmi.Mabrook said: Anyone know what the cap for decent challenge skill ups are? If I had to guess they just changed it from EM to DC. Like before you could cap anything on any EM that gave skillups. So mostly like just same but on DC now.
Which makes it a bit harder to figure out what lvl they go up to when you are much higher lol. Before you could just figure out what lvl you would be to be capped with your skill and that was the min lvl of mob you could still skill up on... but now figuring out what would be DC to that lvl argh annoying

Your current level. If an enemy checks as Decent to you at 90, it'll cap upto 90.

...you should be getting capped XP/Kill by the time you've been opening boxes for an hour.
Dunno what parties youuuu're leeching in.

So now that we know exp can reach up to 600 regular on #5 or #6 chain, I think I'll start making some Imperial Standing parties. 10xp = 1isp. Magian Trials and the ZNM tiers I stil do have depleted my bank and besieged NEVER happens when I'm logged on. A decent party for 2 hours or so should bring me back up a few 1000.

The following reward items for the Treasures of Aht Urhgan mission scenario may now be reobtained:
Balrahn's Ring / Ulthalam's Ring / Jalzahn's Ring
imageTo reacquire the reward, speak with the NPC Nadeey in Walahra Temple (Aht Urhgan Whitegate, J-7) without any of the above items in your ownership.
*Should you discard the reacquired item, the event timer will reset with the next conquest tally.
Does that mean you don't have to redo the final fight but just drop the ring & talk to NPC?

It's like the Cop rings now. You can toss and reobtain once per conquest week.

Cool. I've always wanted Balrahn's ring (i chose Ulthalam's back then...) because I always went mage to assaults / nyzul <.<
