July Version Update...

"Scavengers be forewarned! Those who sit back on the sidelines to let their allies do the dirty work will find themselves denied their share of the spoils. Soldiers must make sufficient contribution to the cause to be eligible to reap the rewards."

I've found if you just put off getting evaluation they wont take away till then :) so you only lose 1 at a time

I used to be on wings of honor, now I'm not even on wings ; ;

I'm sure added sources of currency are going to affect the overall price of currency, and in the long run, the total cost of a relic. But I wouldn't expect an overnight change or anything...

I don't know how it is on your server but on mine currency price only went up after the 500k Hourglass update. Tons of people thought it would go down at least a bit... big disappointment!

So unless there is tons of currency dropping from the past... I can't see any change coming, just more people making money with the insane price. Even if a lot of currency drop I highly doubt any significant price change. People are greedy when it comes to Dynamis currency... and there's always some very rich people ready to buy them at crazy price so they can get all that is buyable. I guess time will tell!

New mobs = new spells

/watches all the other blus jump on the hype train.

CHOO CHOO!

fixed.

I can not figure out why everyone says their NPC is stupid? I have had my mithra NPC for a couple years and haven't switched her off of healer since I unlocked it. She hastes, protect/shells, and heals me when I'm low on hp, as well as takes just about any debuff I can think of, off of me. As well as do throw debuffs like paralyze, slow, and dia at the enemy. What more could I ask for? And I'll usually be SAM/DNC or PLD/DNC. So maybe you guys are the stupid ones here? ;) i'm only kiddin, but not about i <3 my NPC.

Hey, I'd have nothing but sympathy for ya, but there's gotta be a reason why SAM is the DD of choice over other DD's. If it's not because it's overpowered, why is it then?

I'm not saying *** SAM, I'm just saying, make other jobs just as attractive. If they accomplish that through improving those other jobs, so much the better...but SE will prolly just nerf SAM. That seems to be how they roll in those cases...

Tachi: Kaiten x5 {do you need it?}

Not only can Sam WS like crazy, it still does the same or even more damage than other DD WSs, making it overpowered, and their SCs do ridiculous damage, AND they can self-skillchain multiple ways.

Why would you do that? They don't make light together and you can only continue lvl 3 once.

I don't think my NPC is stupid, but I would LOVE it if they add a way (like BLUs) that you could edit your NPCs spell list depending what you're doing. I find it's annoying when my NPC runs out of MP after 3 monsters from constantly casting. When I'm playing on Nin/Dnc I don't need my NPC to cure me at all. If I could edit his spell list I would only let him use Haste and -na spells...his mp would last much much longer.

ORIGINAL SOURCE

The upcoming version update will see exciting developments in Campaign, including the opening of new areas, the introduction of the "Union" system, and a host of other additions and refinements.

The Battlefront Moves North!

The following areas will become potential sites for future Campaign conflicts:
Beaucedine Glacier (S) / Xarcabard (S)

New Campaign Medals!

Currently, the highest decoration players may be awarded through evaluation is the coveted "Wings of Honor." With the new version update, two yet more prestigious distinctions will be unlocked, and the corresponding equipment—including body armors for each nation—will be added to the items obtainable with Allied Notes.

All for One and One for All! Introducing the "Union" System

Building upon the existing parties and alliances, the new version update will allow players to form larger battle regiments known as "Unions." By joining a Union, players may take part in Campaign operations on an expanded scale and receive a wide assortment of battle spoils for successful efforts.

To join a Union, a player need only seek out a Campaign Arbiter while in possession of Allied Tags. Any Campaign Arbiter will heed your request, regardless of nation affiliation.

Great riches await triumphant Unions, including but not limited to the ancient currencies obtainable in Dynamis, a wide assortment of synthesis materials, and the spoils of vanquished Beastman Confederate captains. Such rewards will be distributed via Union treasure caskets after the conclusion of each battle.

Scavengers be forewarned! Those who sit back on the sidelines to let their allies do the dirty work will find themselves denied their share of the spoils. Soldiers must make sufficient contribution to the cause to be eligible to reap the rewards.

Tachi: Kaiten
Tachi: Kaiten is a high level, Light-based weapon skill with Fragmentation properties. It can only skillchain with high level weapon skills only obtainable beyond level 67. It can open and close Light skillchains, open for Distortion skillchains, and close for Fragmentation skillchains. If used immediately after a Light skillchain, it can create another Light skillchain. When used with Meikyo Shisui, it can be used for multiple Light skillchains back to back.

I see you didnt get what I was saying. Ok 1 kaiten kaiten doesn't make light. 2 you cant do more then 2 lvl 3 skillchains in a row.

Lack of understanding economics ftl -.-;

Any new method of obtaining Ancient Currency is going to throw the existing markets into chaos. Even if we're talking 1-2 singles per "Union Event" per person (lowballing on purpose) it is still additional volume in a market that has had its value kept high by virtue of the fact that you need to wait 3 days to obtain more currency.

Hourglass price change was near irrelevant because in that case the only change in the actual volume of currency was from new Dynamis shells. Between this and the emergence of FFXIV (demand factor) currency is headed for a very wild ride.
