The arritbute can be any arritbute i would assume not just STR DEX, Maybe passive sird ETC who knows?
"The attribute" can mean a lot, but "basic attribute" sounds pretty basic :D
Unless thats translation issue
Yea its the FF11 Team everything is mistranslated these days!
I kinda view the FFXI localization team as two interns and grey parrot in a storage closet.

If they reduced cards required for making AF I think they should at least make it so that your first set takes the current amount. Then you could talk to an NPC in 5/5 and get a KI which reduces the amount for further sets or something. Or they could like make it so that you can swap a scale for 20 cards for the set of jobs that scale is used for.

Wouldn't mind seeing a change to the horrid card exchange rate. 10-1 is and always been kinda silly.

The point is to dis-incentivize doing exactly what you're trying to do.
They don't want you to make "the geo" always be "the geo" because they could simply exchange the cards.
If your default mode wasn't to instantly force "the geo" to always be "the geo" and actually use some variety they wouldn't have to purposely make things worse than they need to be.
And yes, while you specifically may or may not do that, enough do to make it "necessary". Group punishment.

After looking a little closer at the update announcement, I noticed that past posts by Matsui like the one we got had the line "Replace reward items" under Ambuscade. This month the line says "Add new reward items".
Could they be adding AF+3 and Relic+3 things to Ambuscade as the alternate path? Whether it is or not, we are still getting something new added to Ambuscade.

That would be so weird and... I don't like it. Some months, Ambu is terrible to spam efficiently if you don't have the right jobs. Would suck for returners just as much.

It would narrow the amount of content we realistically have to do also. Don't like that idea so hopefully not.;

Now figure out which V1 we get based on that information.
Bosses with weapons, that we don't have yet. That's next months mobs.
(that rules out yagudo as the next mob, we have that spear)
(It won't be a new one, because they didn't pat themselves on the back making a new exciting copypasted battle)

Finally we are seeing a rare item in this next month's login campaign, the Mundus Shield, which was previously only from the Meeble Burrows campaign that only ran like once.
Here are some other items we have not seen in a long time
Alliance Shirt
Alliance Pants
Alliance Boots
Cait Sith Guard
Worm Feelers
Worm Masque
Leafkin Cap
Rhapsody Shirt
Malice Masher
Heartstopper
Glinting Shield
Redeyes
Abyssea NM EX drops
Speaking of things we have not seen in a long time, I miss having Empyrean upgrade items in the login campaigns. They saved me from doing many a Glavoid.

It's going to be a new item tied to the new job mastery system. You need to spend 500 CP + 5 of these ambu items to rank it up.... And you can only buy 2 of these items a month...
Oh, and it requires something from oddy because the debs know we are all secretly masochists.

@Sudra
Last year, Matsui announced they would move the usual Nov campaigns that come with "Return to Vanadiel" over to December. The reasoning was either "so the update content can be enjoyed by more players" while we have the holiday break or something.
At first, I thought it was just 1 off thing because SE was behind on updates due to COVID-19, but they're doing it again this year so it might be the norm going forward.
Anyhow, the campaigns "should" come next month.

If it makes you feel better, most people probably won't take it due to the -1 inventory issue.

Ohhhh snap, it's on. It's happening.

Status of efforts to deal with fraudulent and RMT acts The number of recent crackdowns has more than doubled from the previous year. This is because the monitoring system has been strengthened to reduce the activity time of RMT companies, and as a result, the cycle from account creation to suspension by RMT companies has become shorter. Previous RMT vendor activities were primarily aimed at redeeming Eminence Unity points. Therefore, as a result of adjusting the point exchange by the update, the tendency to use contents such as salvage and potentiality changed, but when the crackdown was further strengthened and countered, the place of activity began to move to Eminence again. We are introducing a system to detect new fraudulent activities in response to such trends of RMT companies. In addition, we have strengthened our crackdown on "solicitation activities that demand compensation for in-game behavior," such as power leveling.
That's the 4006 bois. Better pack that ***in before you get got.

"solicitation activities that demand compensation for in-game behavior" there's a lot of gray area here. Does this include people selling spots for clears/RP/HTBF/Reisenjima drops etc?
By Draylo 2021-11-07 23:33:19
They just recently added that rule for XIV, but it was in regards to the party finder system. I just find all of this so silly at this point, they are trying to look like they care or something after essentially putting the game way low on its priority list.

at least on asura, their presence is as high as its ever been in relation to actual players. it seems they want to clean house in case the 20th anniv brings back a bunch of players.
This is one of my guesses. We also have the new players discovering this game as well. Doesn’t look good on SE’s reputation if a bunch of galkas are flying around every weekend in the starter zones

They usually do this before major expansions... confirmed expansion to the far east, new jobs Chemist and Time Mage
