Lost In The Crowd

So it has been couple weeks since April version update is out. This update quite impress me so far.

Augmented System – UH

When I heard about it in news couple weeks back I was excited, this is basically Diablo 2 magical/rare/imbued item but in FF11 version and I like it. Because Blizzard did really good job at imbued item so I have high hope on this one and SE actually did it decent.

Augmented item from Elite Training Regimes is rather weak since now equipment that can be traded is capped at level 50. I rather save low level equipment I use for sell in the future than augment it for minor status improvement, for now.

Augmented item from ANNM treasure chest is much better, although status given is very random but some of them are proved to be useful (like this or this). I like to do ANNM because it is (somewhat) fun and decent money, I consider augmented item is a great bonus to it

Augmented item from chest in Tenshodo HQ is probably the best one for now because it gives a lot of nice high level accessories but have to grind BC every day for small chance of getting good item (high chance of getting nothing, like the rest of FF11 content?) is lame.

Red Mage Updates – YAY

Composure, even I’m not a solo-er kind I this ability is really impress me. Apparently what it does is triple duration of enhancing magic that you cast on yourself (except one with long duration already like Protect, Shell and Reraise) and increase recast time of those spell by 25%

Awesome ability. I can buff myself every 7 minutes and 30 seconds instead since refresh last 3 times longer now, less hassle and less MP spend for buff always handy. I think I’ll make whole new macro just for self buffing while composure in effect, maybe something like activating Composure>Haste>Refresh>Phalanx>Aquaveil (for sake of buffing -_-) then manually cancel Composure before start buffing other member in party.

Enspell II, I don’t care much about this one because I don’t solo on my RDM let alone melee. I’ll eventually farm all of them thought just not my priority. I’ll wait a week maybe two until competition on mob has been died down, I don’t like compete for farming mob.

New Gobbiebag – UH

More inventory space is always welcome might not apply to last 2 gobbiebag quest because it comes with high price tag even after couple weeks later -_-

ANNM – YAY

The best content in version update for me, fun fight , good money, chance of obtaining good augmented item and reasonable easy to get flagged. Only downside is it pretty much requires at least full party to guarantee win and my friends is either already in a static party or live 12 hour apart, so I get chance to do it on weekend only.

Mannequin storage capacity has been adjusted – DUCK

I’m not sure about how exactly I feel about this one. This is good because now on my character I put 3 mannequins in my Moghouse and still maintain Moglification: Woodworking, free my inventory up to 6 spaces. But now my Moghouse look shitty than ever with 3 mannequins, 2 guild furniture, Bastokan flag and that’s it. I don’t need Bastokan flag thought but not brave enough to toss it since I can’t it back if SE somehow make it useful.

MMM Updates – UH

This should be an awesome update only if I can get anyone to do MMM with me ._. weekday is out of question and weekend is packed with normal events (Ouryu/Bahamut/ENM/etc.) and ANNM on top of it, damn
