Sortie Release - Info

That's a lot of moogles.

E maint on asura too in 45 mins

Tried both BLU and SCH 6 step in A and B. Neither seemed to do anything unless I messed something up and didn't notice.

Will update tonight after my runs with more. Can say Blue magic worked on 6/7 above so might be any self-cast magic while on the platform.

We tried similar at B for a B plate but had no luck.

I found one of the terminals on map 3 I-5 last night, touching it gave me a chest with Ra'kaznar Plate A. Touching it again gave me the option to respawn all the mobs in the A section. when I did that and went back through the zone, it had popped the obdalla NM, that wasn't up when I first went through.

Damn nice, grats. What did it drop from? (the +1 case)

Here is a BG page to start populating earring augments

https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Category:Sortie_Rewards

so the issue with the augs being in the same slot as the primary stats. is that a bug with the text? or the slots? because i feel like if it was the slot issue they would of opted to do an emergency maint by now.

someone in the first pages said its a typo, they got the augs in their right ear and not the left.

I may have missed it, but is there a new Storage Slip for Empy Armor +2?

For those of you that fought a boss using a shard and are going in again soon...

I fought a rancibus type monster using the teleporter at A. I am curious if someone goes in today and goes to for example to the A teleporter with the key, will it always be rancibus?

If people are experiencing the same monster on the B shard everytime. Which sounds significantly easier, I would think it would be best to that area first.

from what I 'm hearing, the "bosses" on each section are the same each time. This is based on my group as well as 2 others all getting to the same boss in section B. Others have also reported the same boss for that section.

Has anyone tested sneak and invis?
Bolters roll and mazurka are going to be must have if it does work.

The new KI (after the very first) is not obtained at the gob, but by zoning into Kamihr Drifts via the Waypoint #4.

Zoning in through the homepoint or other waypoints does not work, so probably it's enough to just get into range of the Transposer?



(The gob will still tell you how long until new KI.)

U need test bro 0:

I can confirm this, decided to test it quickly. Moving within casting distance (20 yalms) of the Transposer will restore the KI, even while mounted. It's not just a straight up transform after 20 hours. As long as the plate doesn't need to be shiny to store up on the Ruspix plate, then that's all fine.

I went in solo on Dancer yesterday; Sneak and invis DO WORK

I used Spectral Jig to move through the Hecteyes and Umbrils to explore the zone

(Bonus tip: the Umbrils can use Terminal Bloom, so don't forget your Holy Waters!!)

i dont udnerstand how are pp getting teleprot access i cleared all acuex all hecateys and all leech not a single *** ki for teleporter

FWIW, for me, the Key #A chest didn't spawn until I had killed the leech mini-boss. I had previously cleared all of the mobs in the south half of the zone to experiment... got a single chest down there which only gave galli points. I was spamming 3/4-step Darkness skillchains, with Climactic Flourish as much as I could, if that helps

no mini boss spawned for us and we literally killed everything up to the Umbrils,.

it's in the patch notes, once your shiny plate is charged, every 4 hours you don't use it, the ruspix's plate charges 1 hour. When it gets to 20, you can get a second Shiny Plate immediately after using one.

The obdella was up on widescan when I entered yesterday, ran straight for it and it wasn't there by the time I got there a few seconds later. Also ended the run without getting more than 1 chest.

Unless it's bugged, I believe that will be it counting down the time until it starts charging.

The intended mechanic is that:
From the moment you are eligible to enter Sortie, it stores the unused/wasted KI charging 20 hours to build a second charge, that can be converted from the Ruspix's Plate to the Dull plate to make it shiny immediately. This is meant to be at a 5:1 ratio. Think of it as needing 100 hours of eligible-for-entry time to charge the plate.

If you enter at midnight on a day, it'll start charging the plate at 8PM on the dot. If you continually enter at midnight, it will charge (four hours * 1/5) each day until it reaches one full charge. (48 minutes per day, 25 days for a full extra charge.)
If you don't enter from that 8PM threshold, the plate will charge after 100 hours (four days and four hours later), and you can enter, talk to Ruspix, and get another shiny plate immediately, using up the Ruspix plate to charge anew.

is he also telling you how much time is left for your Shiny plate to recharge? Maybe it's a localization issue.

Yeah, he also won't tell you anything about the plate charge while you have a shiny plate KI. It is incredibly weird at the moment. I'm guessing it's either a localisation issue (like we haven't seen enough of those already this patch), or it's charging at 1:1 ratio even while on cooldown, and you might be able to enter immediately again, which would be hilarious.

When you enter it appears to reset the countdown, and then give you a credit for the time overage. Mine had counted down fully before entering, and today upon entering you get a message about the time credit. After the run and checking it was counting down again from roughly 72k minus whatever credit I got.

I think the counter is always counting down, and it just resets after you enter and then subtracts any built up credit you have. Its a really wonky way of doing what they said it is.

Definitely could not enter again or get 2nd ki today though fyi.
