Definately didn't see this coming.

The Story Continues with All-new Nation Quests! (19/03/2009)



The trials and tragedies of each of the three nations are set to be further revealed in the fast-approaching April version update. With the dark shadow of the decisive battle between the warring factions looming ominously overhead, adventurers will delve deeper into the mysteries and intrigues of the Crystal War in the continuing episodes of nation quests in Wings of the Goddess!

Read the appetite-whetting previews here.


New quests. Not much more I can say about it. An older announcement of more interest that I didn't comment on earlier:

Get More Malmage from Your Equipment with Augmented Items! (17/03/2009)



The upcoming version update will usher in the "Augments" system, a new feature that will shatter your preconceptions about equipment and breathe new life into some of your most treasured pieces of armor.

Read on for the exciting details!


(What the hell does Malmage mean anyway?) This is something more of a surprise, but it will likely be pretty pointless - make your old worthless gear even more worthless by making it unsellable!

Most likely it will only be useable on gear with only DEF, and no real stats, or if you use it on something with other stats the old ones will be wiped. So no enhanced Haubergeon +1 for you! If anything, it's aimed at helping low leveling again so you can get something useful where you normally have nothing to choose from but +DEF. Could put an end to naked DDs leveling at least.

Anyway, enough about what them yungins at SE are doing, and a little bit about my recent activities.

Last couple of Dynamis runs didnt' end too well. Windurst we ran out of time before clearing, probably due to the less-than-amazing attendance and the 1 1/2 wipes. Valkurm we had fewer people than usual, and only 1 BRD (without Soul Voice), so the boss zerg didn't go so well. But we would have done fine if the boss' pets were slept, which I'm pretty sure never occurs when we fight her. Only light based sleep works on them, but I don't think anyone tried last time.

I've also done 2 Nyzul legs runs and 2 feet runs. Nothing I was after dropped as usual, but the groups were mostly good for a chance. It annoys me that I can't get people like that when I lead runs.

Finally, Arc and Soli let me come play with them doing the Antlion ENM, which we did as RDM, WHM, MNK. It was very easy, even if we did get lucky on the boss pops (3/4). Less painful than the old manaburn approach.


No surprises of course when no Hagun dropped.
