The first installment of three new add-on scenarios—"A Crystalline Prophecy – Ode of Life Bestowing"—is now available for advance purchase through PlayOnline! Access the order page from the "A Crystalline Prophecy" banner located on the main FINAL FANTASY XI page to purchase your registration code.
(*Players purchasing the scenario will receive access to the in-game content upon the release of the upcoming FINAL FANTASY XI version update scheduled for early April.)
(*As with all forms of expanded content, the purchase of a single registration code for a given account will allow you to enjoy the add-on scenario with all characters created on that account.)
To commemorate the occasion, the official "A Crystalline Prophecy" site has been updated with the latest on the customizable equipment that awaits you as a reward for completing the scenario!
Head on over for all the details!
Well, as expected the customisable stuff is a reward for completing the expansion, so probably a choice of one from three. Looking at what you can do with them it's going to be a hard choice. I think the easy choice would be to take the DRG body (RDM body looks nasty anyway) and slap 10 acc and 10 att on it for a pimp hauby.
However there's 23 different extra stats on the site at the moment, when they initially said there would be 20 to choose from, so some might be taken off. I'm a bit peeved about the 5% fast cast being an option, since it's giving a potentially better Duelist Tabard to every job. Only use for RDM I see is having 5% fast cast and +enmity together for a tanking body, since it's pretty much useless as a debuffing body.
Edit: (scratch that - the Tabard is 10% fast cast. So it's now it's even more useless for RDM, DRG Hauby go!)
Flame Gorget Progress.
I've been solo farming Sea for organs quite a bit, and my current standings with organs are as follows:
-Yovra organs: 0/1
-Xzomit organs: 5/5
-Phuabo organs: 6/10
The Xzomits were easy to get (being 100% drop from the 'mother' Xzomits) I just had to find the ones with only 1 baby (which there are plenty of near the zone-in from the crag of Dem). So I could sleep baby > nuke mum a bit > sleep both again > convert > finish mum > teleport back to Dem > repeat 5 times.
Phuabos are more annoying. I was killing Ul'Phuabo for ages, because I misread wiki and thought they had a higher drop rate when it was actually the higher level Om'Phuabo. I tried killing them as DRG at first (faster kills, and could chain them, but more risky and requires echo drops and links or UFO aggro = death) I died once, because my wyvern was off god-knows-where and so I couldn't get healed :\
After reraising and carrying on until I was out of echos I changed to RDM for safer kills and eventually got bored of no drops and gave up. I need to find people to get a Yovra organ because they can't be soloed, so this may take a while.
Misc adventures!
Someone was shouting in Whitegate for a DRG/whm to help them out for a (Short time) ...which turned out to be 100 light skillchains. Well, they offered 100k reward, so I obliged.
We popped Amemet, who hits pretty damn hard - one of his headbutt-kinda TP moves does 300~ damage, but it wasn't a problem with 500~HP Healing Breaths. The poor taru got killed while I was petrified, but luckily it wore before I died as well, and I managed to finish it off. Only 1 hide dropped, which I got, but I was hoping more would drop so I could give one to the NIN who pulled a crab off us that attacked mid-fight with the NM. So 150k~ profit wasn't a bad outing for me.
