Hello~!!

We brought this up with the development team, and while I can’t inform you of the time frame or haste values at the moment,
they are going to look into adding gear haste to trusts.

Thanks for your feedback!

Inundated by how Inundation works?

I’ve seen data based on player testing, and I can verify that the 1.2x increase per weapon type used in the skillchain is indeed accurate. Including pets, there are 15 total types of weapons, which means that the maximum value that can be reached with Inundation is a 12.8x increase.

Greetings, everyone.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
We've informed the development team, and since there is a high possibility that this is a bug, they are in the midst of investigating.
Apologies for the inconvenience, but we'll update you once there is progress.

The development team has determined that there is a bug with how the monsters function when creating skillchains with Immanence, and they are currently working on a fix.
I don't have an exact schedule of when the fix will be implemented, but I will keep you all posted!

[Affected Service]
- FINAL FANTASY XI

The already fixed that card dupe, that was same day.

Hope they'll also fix the vagary boss spawn conditions. 4 & 6 steps with immanence was broken.

The development team has determined that there is a bug with how the monsters function when creating skillchains with Immanence, and they are currently working on a fix.
I don't have an exact schedule of when the fix will be implemented, but I will keep you all posted!

Only thing that bugs me about those campaigns is that, unless it's an error, we have 2 weeks of exp campaign and only 1 week of CP campaign :/

Well, I mean, it's a welcome back/new player campaign.

Let new players burn!
