The September version update just keeps getting bigger and better! We would like to take this opportunity to announce our intentions to implement some all-new features to both Dynamis and Limbus, as well as a few adjustments brought in by popular demand!

Blue mage / Corsair / Puppetmaster Artifacts and Relics

The wait is finally over!
At long last, the highly anticipated relic gear sets of the blue mage, corsair, and puppetmaster jobs are here! Rounding out the standard 5-piece sets, the more recently added back and waist items will also be added to September's version update. Players with these jobs can now look forward to obtaining the ingredient items required to temper their artifact and relic gear with even greater enhancements!
When considering how to best introduce this equipment, the development team weighed many options, including the possibility of entirely original methods. In the end, however, the decision was made that such means would be largely unfair by rendering only players with these jobs capable of accessing new game content. Therefore, all of the above items will be procured in the same way as their predecessors, namely via exploits in the Dynamis and Limbus areas.

Drop Rates

Great care has been put into assuring that current drop rates will see no negative impact from the introduction of the new blue mage, corsair, and puppetmaster gear sets. Players can rest easy knowing that any and all necessary adjustments to the drop rate ratios have been considered and implemented to maintain a fair and balanced game experience.
Furthermore, the overall drop rates of select Dynamis areas, covering the relic gear of all jobs old and new, are set to be raised as well.

Entry Fees

In light of the additions and adjustments detailed above, the entry fees for both Dynamis and Limbus were also brought under careful reconsideration.
Thanks in part to the ground being made by the Special Task Force in combating RMT-related activities, and subsequent normalization of the game economy, the following reduction in price to entry items will be implemented in the upcoming September version update.

Timeless Hourglass: 1,000,000 gil -> 500,000 gil
Cosmo-Cleanse: 30,000 gil -> 15,000 gil

What was that about SE never trying to help the playerbase? :D
 
BLU goes DRK, COR goes BLU, but PUP got screwed! :rolleyes:

Hope they implement this early in September! 1/2 cost dynamis sounds sweet!
 
500k hourglass? can you give me a hell yeah???
 
People on BG talk all the time about Dynamis scheduling being so crowded, yet we've had relatively few problems with it ever since I can remember. I wonder if it's about to become a lot more of a problem...

Meh, some people love dynamis, some people hate dynamis, some are in the middle somewhere with a love/hate relationship..

I don't think it'll change much as far as scheduling is concerned.
 
A lot of servers are pretty congested as far as dynamis goes, the BG people just don't seem to grasp the fact that this doesn't go for all servers out there. Valefor is pretty laid-back, so I'm not really concerned about it. I'd be more worried if we were on Odin/Bismarck/Bahamut, or some such.
 
I thought Cor was going to be like Luzaf armour, oh well, it actually would look cool with AF2 body and AF1 hat, which I suspect is probably what im going to be wearing since AF1 hat has amazing stats on it.

The Pup AF looks great tho, I like it way more than AF1.
 
Not what i was expecting looks wise but WOW this updates made of win in all senses yet again. I dont care if they do stupid crap to the rest of the update blu af? lower prices YESSSSS
 
All that comes to mind is "now more people will show to dynamis so we dont repeat last night"
 
500k hourglass? can you give me a hell yeah???


HELL YEAH!!!! :tounge-3:

I too agree... I don't see our server becoming over crowed in Dynamis entry. If worse comes to worse, I'm sure we all can figure out something to edge around and get in. New pieces look sweet! I can't wait till they add DNC/SCH tho I'm sure that will be in another year or two. :arg:
 
Your char model too isn't it? Time to level PUP now? :p

I love PUP :) It's so flexible and much more powerful than people even realize. I definitely will level it someday and look just like you see in the pictures, mwahaha.
