don't think i'd mind if they were venus and sendable

OK I'm actually with you more often than not on mocking some of these kinds of decisions. But not this one.

Come on man, we just got freaking empy items for the first time since summer 2022! And that was paired with a very solid 1500-point item of an Alabaster Matter. I'm inclined not to complain about the next month not reaching the same heights.

All of my characters got 2500 points for Jan and spent them all so they are now sitting at zero. I'm actually pleased to have a lame month so I can build them back up to 700 points to carry over for a future good month, and deactivate my mule army until they need to be called back into active service.

For someone like me starting from 0 this month, you wouldn't even be able to afford a 1500-point item and still keep the 700 to roll over. Max new points this month will be 1800 from 21 logins (which does require the partial first day, i.e., login in the 7-hour window between campaign start at Midnight PST and 7am PST/Midnight JST).

My only minor complaint is less about the 1500 point item, but that the 500 point ones are also trash this month. Could have at least grabbed 1-2 of those and still kept my 700, but this month's Rem's Tales 6-10 are obviously a very weak prize. Oh well, can always dump extra points on 5-point Beastmen's Seals this month. Or just hit my 700 and then be able to stop worrying about it for this month.

We've seen Murky Matter, Alabaster Matter, Old Case +1, and Impish Box (not that bad of a reward on a main, IMO) recently from 1500 points, if they keep that kind of stuff in the rotation that's not bad to me. I'm fine getting a breather from an occasional weak reward month.

Could have atleast been a Venus Orb for 1500 points.

The empyrean items weren't the 1500 point item, murky matter is

Alabaster and Murky matters were dogshit too, tbh

It's the same exact argument as mars orb. You get 10+ matter per month. But you only get one from log in. That's not even worth the effort.

If the matters were same account sendable though, they'd have had a banger. You'd have seen millions of dollar mules firing up.

This isn't a bad compromise. The choice of an Amatter, Mmatter, trove orb, earring+1, or impish box monthly

Something anyone would want to choose from, instead of all or nothing. I don't think anyone could be disappointed by one of those 5 options for at least 5 years. But that's very different from no options.

It's always connected. The 1500 point item last month was... three empyrean items. And honestly, I'd have been a little annoyed if I had to choose between 3x empy items and an Old Case +1 in any month.


Hahahahahahahahaha you act like I'm doing all those Limbus climbs. I'll gladly take the murky/alabaster matter on my main when they show up.

And those are totally not the same thing as going to speak to an NPC once for a free monthly Mars Orb. Also, 10 Mars Orbs a month? That's a very try-hard approach, if you want to spend that much time doing stuff to get Mars Orbs, knock yourself out. I'll use my time on other things.


Now that's the truth.


That too.


Yeah that does seem ideal, and quite reasonable. But if we can't have perfect, I'm fine with the occasional miss of a month if they more or less continue giving us pretty decent quality login reward like they have been recently.

Mars Orb is a free 2.5M. I'll take 5M between my main and one mule, for the low effort of clearing out my Dbox throughout the month, something I already do anyways.

If you're not doing your 40 climbs a month you're missing out.

Not only on the gear you aren't upgrading but the exemplar and the piles of gil.

Every 30 minute limbus climb has potential to be worth like 10m. Far superior to a seg run or an omen swart farm.

Maximum limbus should be your priority one. It's too good to not be doing the max amount. Even if it's shitty to do.

If only Gil was a motivator. Honestly if solo I’d rather watch a moogle spin for an hour than do a limbus.

Are you using corsair roll during your Limbus climbs?

Maybe it's not as good as the top-end EP camps, but it also gives you limbus points on top it's not just EP.

Like EP is supposed to be - get it while doing content.

Here's the real catch - if you're botting EP why aren't you botting Limbus to get EP and Limbus points at the same time?

Inb4 "botting Limbus is a quick way to get banned", no, try again. There have been camps of limbus bots since day1, same characters still there.

They can be used for RDM "no TP feed" solo strat against Odin.

It's not, why do they exist.

It's why are there 10 functionally identical daggers. Wasted identical slots.

And the master trial dagger is better than all of them

Idk
Try going through my post history and see how many times ive said something akin to “im not being cockblocked by units”.

There was rumors going around about limbus bannings of prominent members of forums here. But I think they were POS hacking personally, still think SE doesn't care outside of the auto system.

Very small update notes lol

The level difference adjustment has been removed for the following areas:

The Boyahda Tree / Ru'Aun Gardens

If this is true .... the next content batch....they're sending us back to present day SKY???? o_O;;

They're saying trust system updates in March, but I really wish they'd just make Moogle Mastery ranks from Odyssey global. It's such a simple addition to power up trusts that takes literally no effort. Why beefed up versions of trusts are segregated only to Odyssey is the weirdest thing. Acting like they have to do anything besides that. Even if they halve the effect. Just weird roundaboutism.

There is new RSE Hands / Feet. They seem to all give the same stats that I can see.

Humes and Elvaan seem to have two, different ones for male and female, and then the other races (including TaruTaru) only have one.

CSM Gloves +1
Level 99, Hands, Hume Male
DEF:106 HP+62 MP+34 STR+30 DEX+30
VIT+25 AGI+25 INT+25 MND+25 CHR+25

Evasion+71 Magic Evasion+72 "Magic Def. Bonus"+2 Haste+4%

CSM Boots +1
Level 99, Feet, Hume Male
DEF:85 HP+55 MP+29 STR+25 DEX+25
VIT+25 AGI+30 INT+30 MND+25 CHR+25

Evasion+109 Magic Evasion+142 "Magic Def. Bonus"+3 Haste+3%

I don't see any Head, Body, or Legs. They may be apart of future updates.

Fafnir Scale and Kirin Mane items, with 2 new RSE slots implemented per job. My guess is that it's involved in the new RSE building process.

This was a lot of files downloaded (>1k for me) for the size of the update notes.

1009 files for me.
If someone is good with datamining, they might find some tips on what's to come in the next patch.

Interesting they feel the need to make ilvl RSE armor, after the OGs were put on the curio moogle.

Looks pretty generic too, nothing particularly eye catching.

Struggling to think of a use for ilvl RSE armor. Like humes get +25 all stats, Elvaans will get +45str and -5Int or something, ok.. still not going to get used for anything.

I'm suspecting they snuck in some updated files for March Update (assuming that's when they'll introduce the trust updates and/or more limbus updates), because 1009 files for just ambu rotation is a lot consider how small January update was.

File size it was around from 19 MB to 109 MB give or take.

If it really is new RSE, maybe its probably meant for new player onboarding that isnt 'go get ambuscade +2'
Getting new players onboarded with something that has acceptable meva and dt where they dont get outright deleted from aoe if they tag along with better geared players would be nice.

I've been helping a couple friends get vagary/dyna-d/sortie cleared and notice they still have some non-trivial hurdles in content + gil requirements + reforge materials on their own before they can get +2empy/relic/af made which is where I feel like you start to have the basic gear options for interesting gearset building and job play for all content.

These could just be upgrade attachments for the trust update system (i think they said it's going to be like the current puppet system, where you get stuff to slot in).

I think both of these are very likely. I only see 5 new files, and none of them are armor. Everything else was updates to existing stuff. I'm hopeful they're laying the foundation for another limbus update next month. I'd like to see Ilvl 145 so we can farm more units per run. It would also make for even better exemplar farm.

If the idea is that we give this gear to our trusts its really weird it is race specific, a lot of trusts aren't the 5 races.

Sucks to be Abenzio and Babban!

And those Mnejing Ovjang, and KoH, and Ygnas (cursed hume is still a hume), Rosulatia, Ullegore, Balamor, Darrcuiln, Fablinix, Lilisette (which RSE does she get?), and Gessho

perhaps Selhteus?

You know what kind of NPC is one of the five races?

Fellows..

Interesting - Kirin and Fafnir are both featured in the XIV/XI raid series. Maybe intentional to promote crossover?
