May 2023 Version Update (Part 2)

Hmmm.. I’ve not had great luck bursting kaustra. We’re doing most of that except the vido to leaden sc. I generally burst impact for 10-20k on sch right after comet/death burst

Oh kaustra isn’t great by any means. But dmg is dmg

I poke in to check on the state of the game sometimes, saw some stuff saying this was the last meaty update for XI. Lex and Inquisition/Gunslingers, I miss playing with that group a lot. :( Mischief, Tych, Ronan, Yinzi, Ballz, etc, were all solid.

They miss you too! So come back now?

EDIT: Also, Mischief has Deadlypanda, Unagihito, Forutegsx(Yoro), Lancifer, and Ravael in his group so yeah... craziness O_O

This mentions some kind of other fight with the DD team, which is the Destiny Destroyer Team (mandy, black goblin and meeble)

Possibly the source of those red weapons in the last update.

There was a red weapon type for just about all weapon categories in the update files, so it's guessing at where they're being used.

Completely agree. Especially on the earring part. As i'm farming my 1m Gali I get more annoyed at how broken the JSE earring system is.

Looking like a 4% chance of a +2 earring from a +1 case. With 22 jobs, we get a 0.1818% chance of a +2 earring for a specific job from a +1 case, or 1/550. Now what are the odds of perfect augments? 20%? We get 1/2750 chance of a perfect aug +2 for a specific job per +1 case.

With a suspected 1% chance from upstairs bosses and coffers and a 5% chance of basement bosses and coffers (except aminon 100% drop), the +1 case drop rate is pretty poor. For the average group not spamming aminon, an average of one +1 case a week is realistic.

So at one chance of a perfect augmented +2 earring for a specific job per real life week it will take on average 53 years. Even a group doing aminon as much as possible and getting a +1 case a day you are looking at 7.5 years to get a perfect augmented +2 earring for a specific job, by which time the same group would have completed all of the prime weapons to final stage even if the cost per weapon is 10m gali. You should have all jobs perfect augmented +2 earring by then, but still..

Pretty certain this makes the odds of obtaining a perfect augmented +2 earring for a specific job the worst odds in the history of the game by far.

Sounds like the basis for a master trial. (I don't know why SE keeps insisting on Master Trials).
