SO, VanaFest 2010 is imminent and so far there's been a bit of hype before the actual event, such as:
- (Nomad) Mog Bonanza. Free relics for no-one!
- Some stuff about a competition on twitter to win a cute hat. I have enough hats already, am cute enough and I don't like twitter so I won't bother signing up. Plus I'm slow and won't be able to reply fast enough.
- And today, the announcement of a new version update planned for mid-march! (ie. April)

Going by the picture, it just looks like mundane crap (synergy, more WOTG missions, campaign adjustments). I'd be happy for missions, but I've fallen behind on the current ones, and nobody does shout groups for them, so I'm pretty much shit out of luck.
Considering they're announcing the details at the event, it's likely they'll have at least something impressive (avatars?!). Here's a picture they put up as a massive cocktease to contribute to the wild speculation:
"Making macros for some of the stage demonstrations."
Even though the macro text is blurred, from the rough size and shape of the letters it looks like /ma can'treadthis < me >. This is clearly absolute proof of a new avatar, and s1= SUMMON 1?! Again, concrete proof of there being more than one avatar planned for release in the next update.
So anyway, I've been trying my luck on the Jasper Tathlum NM again, now 0/3. I included the whole log to show the silly damage you can do with 300%TP Full Swing :3

I found my Hume equivalent guarding the Xarcabard 'outpost' (by outpost I mean flag pole with 2 people stood by it).



Almost there for RDM combat skills! Shield is stupidly hard to get compared to parrying for some reason, but once I've capped that I'll just finish parrying with an earth staff.

An interesting, but ultimately useless augment. I have now sucessfully augmented bows with every stat EXCEPT MIND. It makes me very sad, especially considering that when I finally do get MND it will be negative.
