wtf super lol lvl zones getting lvl 100 mobs?

That's odd lol

Good for magian trials tho w/o needing to sync

i was thinking that same thing XD but this might be like that CoP update where they added super mobs....that are still EM/T/VT to lvl90's

lol Dangruf Wadi.

Does make it harder for some quests tho lol

This could be nice for BSTs, assuming they still have a Charm set.

Why is there an Opo-opo in dangruf wadi >_>

I wanna see mobs raiding our home nations, like with besieged

i still have mine and i hope i can use it again

You mean like Campaign?

No, I mean like besieged. They can even have a "national flag" or something that they can try to capture; like the astral cadance

Yeah except no one does Besieged as it is, and It wouldn't fit the current story. That's why the Beastmen attacking only happened in an expansion about the past.

Who gives a ***about the story?!? Does anyone even know, off the top of their head, what any of them are about? lol

I dunno, could probably work.. Looking at it from a Sandy perspective, there's NPCs stationed outside the exits and a couple of scouts that run the length of West Ronfaure to "ensure the Orcs don't attack".

I believe Windy also has the Star Sibyl keeping them safe (stopping Yagudo/Monster attacks?)?

God knows what Lastok has, waste of a nation!


Either way though, I wouldn't appreciate walking out of my MH (when they add Abyssea NPC's to cities) and finding the NPC's I want being molested by Orcs.

I wasn't saying the story is the main reason not to have it, but it's a supporting reason. The real reason is no one likes Besieged and no one wants Besieged 2.0.

The hell are you playing a Final Fantasy MMO for?

I can't get skill ups at 90 off of regular mobs in abby, none in besieged... where do you suppose people're supposed to get skill ups at from 90-99?

I've always liked it. Too bad it's not really worth it anymore nowadays.

btw campaign in the present doesn't make sense...and if you want there's Expeditionary Force...kinda.

Doing something wrong there then >_> I rarely take my BLM to any NM's in Abyssea and I have capped Ele/Dark/Enfeebling/Enhancing (though Enhancing is moreso from WHM).

There are plenty of mobs to skillup on, you're just not looking hard enough.

I'm capped on everything, on every job. Just capped em on NM's, not mobs. (Exception being enhancing magic on Rdm. Been procrastinating on that)

Also, this thread is about higher level mobs being introduced. Shouldn't that answer your question about skilling up.

more options for magician trials

I hope the "deeper levels" they mention have any quests there taken into account. Running all around Dangruf for thf AF woulda sucked even worse if I had had to dodge aggressive mobs too.

Back when AF1 mattered and you weren't jumping from 30 to 90 perhaps.

Back to the update:

If EXP wasn't going to be good in Abyssea to level post-90, I could see this being preparations for EXP. The Grounds of Valor + treasure caskets being implemented are solely in the areas discussed for this monster adjustment.

But EXP is still great in Abyssea sooo...

I with you. This is definitely a very odd thing to throw in.

I wonder if the new mobs will be aggressive or just solely there for trials.
