No it's not, multi-hits mean something.
Upheaval is a 4 hit WS, only the first hit gets the fTP boost. The remaining 3 hits along with any MA procs are stuck at +1.0 http://fTP. Cross Reaper is the same way, first hit gets the fTP boost but the second hit and any subsequent MA procs are only +1.0. What's important is total fTP being used, unless your doing some SA silliness in which case your better off going with Savage / Mistral or just slapping someone.
Upheaval (moonshade)
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Upheaval
1.5 First hit + 3 x 1.0 extra hits = 4.5 fTP @1000
4.25 First hit + 3 x 1.0 extra hits = 7.25 fTP @2000
6.5 First hit + 3 x 1.0 extra hits = 9.5 fTP at max
That's without procing multi-hits, which you most certainly will do and those favor spamming at 1000. Specifically about WAR, the ridiculous amount of +DA that job gets means that you'll be procing over one DA on average per WS. That's why Resolution seems so broken in a WAR's hands, TP scaling combined with fTP on MA leads to frequent 7 hit Resolutions with silly total fTP's. The downside being the -15% attack which is mitigatable with WAR's attack bonus's and buffs. No SC's though so "situational blah blah" applies.
BEHOLD THE STRIKING HAMMER GREATSWORD OF SAEVEL!
Just when you thought ~100 page deep dev-tracker-thread posts were a secluded enough location for safely spreading FFXI misinformation...
Hark! There shall be no warrior WS misinformation on this day; there shall only be SAEVEL.

No it's not, multi-hits mean something.
Quetzalcoatl.Trulusia said: »Almost all of those weaponskills are multiple hits, meaning your values for fTP are misleading. For example, counting the additional hits, Cross Reaper is 3>5>8, and Upheaval is 4>6.5>9.5.
Suddenly, the TP scaling doesn't look nearly as attractive, and this is even more true if using mythic or significant multi-attack.
You seem to misunderstand me. I am not suggesting that you use any of those WS at 3k tp, I think that entire argument is dumb because it varies based on situation. All I am doing is listing WS with greater ftp scaling between 2k and 3k. I specifically state this when talking about Aeolian Edge. I did include plausible reasons to use them at 3k tp, but that isn't an endorsement.
In regards to Upheaval, I state the the principal might work because WAR has such a massive amount of DA and STP from gear that, depending on procs and buffs, you could perhaps gain over 1k tp faster than you might recover from two forced waits after ws. You also aren't getting much out of spamming a WS on Great Axe, so chances are better you are closing a multistep skillchain with it.
I appreciate you bringing up something I've already addressed.

Addressed incorrectly... WAR's DA actually makes it worse to try to hold TP on those WS's. Free TP is gravy but we're not discussing free bonus TP.

You are correct. Neither of us is talking about free tp. Also, we aren't talking the same thing either.

Which you agreed with...
No SC's though so "situational blah blah" applies.
Considering that's exactly the situation I list...

You attacked a point I wasn't making nor trying to defend, which I already clarified I wasn't making nor trying to defend. I point this out to you, you again attack a point I am not making or trying to defend.

Quote: Greetings,
It’s no doubt that having a feature such as this would be beneficial for those that have run out of their voidstone stock and are aspiring to finish upgrading Empyrean weapons (or those who are looking to make some gil!). Unfortunately, due to how the system is structured, addressing this change is not something that is possible at the moment.
Your stock of voidstones and the voidstone key items function in different ways. When trading in voiddust, these items are automatically converted into key items held in your character data. However, the stock of voidstones is only calculated through time, and it cannot be added to in any other way besides time adjustments such as through the obtainment of abyssites.
Therefore in order to address this we would either have to revamp the key item system to accommodate for a much larger amount of voidstones to be held or address the way stock is managed. Both of these options would require a considerable amount of resources to accomplish, and unfortunately is not something that we can realistically do at the moment.
Apologies for the inconvenience of having to head back to town to trade in more voiddust, but we would greatly appreciate your understanding.

I'm curious as to why the system was programmed like that. :x

Remove voidstones from being required in order to pop things/get loot until they can fix the system. Wow, real difficult!

Or, just make dust tradeable to rifts directly for stones.
Not ideal, but reasonable.
I've always thought stone stock was baaed on a timestamp since lowering restock time automatically increases current stock. SE isn't deliberately that nice.

So many shells, one can always find work to do :D
Dont buy stuff if the price is to high, mercs will only sell stuff for what people are willing to pay (supply demand).
it is greener :D if green = more people and higher PUG activity.

Oh God. Rank TWO Kupo Shields. Goodbye crafts, hello shitstorm v2. It was rank 2 in the last bonanza as well.
The one thing I would ask, have they just been lazy and copy-pasted the Mythic weapon rewards? Surely you don't get 60 riftdross for a cinder weapon.
By Calinari 2016-11-08 03:25:41
I had quit during the previous one, didn't know it was rank 2 back then. Well for sure a LOT more marbles will sell this time after all the backlash from the first time.

They already killed alchemy on my server, I'm already dead inside.
EDIT: Although the alchemy market seems to have dried up, I suspect a kupo shield winner was sending mules around servers to capitalise on the ones without a kupo shield alchemist. Looks like whoever it was got done with his Cerberus mission and moved on.
Thank ***.

Or maybe the I-119 kupon can be traded for something to upgrade a 119 RME to 119-3 without needing 10k stones.

Are we getting a new zone?
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.
