Well I was just switching from my mule to main, and no more connection at all to anything PlayOnline.
Well the website "works" but extremely slow. So something is definitely happening somewhere.

Was fishing...msg was bad feeling about it and dced.

Can't even access the official forums or pol.com

Someone forgot to pay a bill at SE lol

seems ok now

Someone tripped and unplugged the servers.

here we go again

I actually just knocked a ton of levels out in Escha on PUP from 35-51 just off the worms between portal 1 & 3. They checked IT+ with a few IT++, but trusts are oddly competent. Was chaining up to #5 off them by just rotating the healers I have, so might be good for future endeavors. Was getting about 3.5k - 5.3k with empress and its +50% bonus, so could probably go higher if I used the anni ring.

Though once I hit 50, my exp suddenly dived as it stopped 1 exp point away from level up, then dropped to about half of what I was getting, and all the worms magically changed to DC/T/EM, so guessing I need to go deeper, or find dhamels now.

How long does it take to level up a mog garden from nothing to CP bonus +5?

You can get CP bonus in the form of a key item from Monster Rearing in your Mog Garden. I can't say how many total days it would take you but you need to:

-Achive rank 4 on all gathering activities.
-Complete this quest: Jingly Dangler
-Complete the quest line that starts with this one: Release the Fleece
-Interact with your pet for 14 days (according to ffxiclopedia article).
-Get this key-item from Zenica or Skipper Moogle: Sakura and the Magic Spoon
-Complete this quest: Chacharoon's Cheer
-Interact with your pet for 12 days (according to ffxiclopedia article).
-Get this key-item from Zenica or Skipper Moogle: Sakura and the Fountain
-Complete this quest: Trial of the Chacharoon
-At this point, Rank 3 pets will be unlocked. Start rearing an uragnite.
-Keep feeding your baby uragnite any meat and yelling at it once every day until its growth level reaches one and a half stars (takes a few days).
-Keep trading it Three-eyed Fish until it turns into the alternative adult uragnite (limascabra).
-Keep feeding your limascabra any meat and being angry at it once every day and hope it gives you the limascabra cheer (Capacity Points +5%, Experience Points +3%) one day. The chance appears to go higher as long as you keep looking after it, so you are likely to get it sooner if you interact with it every day to keep its growth level and mood high.

Edit: I forgot to mention that you need to talk to Chacharoon (the qiqirn in the garden) and activate the limascabra cheer once you get it from the limascabra. You can have only one cheer active.

I've been messing around in dynamis these past few weeks and I noticed in Xarcbard that I have been intimidating the demons. It's a decent proc rate,comparable to a demon killer effect. It's not listed in job traits as BST doesn't get it naturally which leads me to think that it's either the ridiculous amount of CHR granted by iLV gear or a hidden effect from either Arktoi or Otomi helm. BG lists Gabbrath as lizard family but it is possible they are actually part of the Dragon family and the gear from Akchuka/Tojil have hidden demon killer effects?

Arktoi grants +5% to every killer effect, including ones you don't have like Dragon Killer, Demon Killer, etc.

Anyone got Teodor Trust yet ? XD

Wiki says it is from Sinister but BG says it is not

So ya

Any new info guys ?

Last I heard, it's not from Sinister Reign.
Chances are, it'll be from September's Login Campaign, which should kick off before the update. (They will often add Trusts for next month before the month that you can get them in because of how the Login Campaign/seasonal events fall on the calendar.)

Running through all of Escha-Zitah's T1-T3s, having never done most of them.

I have pretty much everything available for setup, will I be able to burn straight through all of it with a mage, RNG, or melee setup or will I need to change setups for different NMs? If one setup is fine, which would you recommend?

You can burn everything besides a few HELM NMs with any setup. Make sure you're running a GEO because the T3s have massive EVA/MEVA.

Personally did everything on a mage setup with SCH setting up MBs.

sounds good, prob looking at

Is there still no information on the new Spurrina Coif and what augment path D may be?

There is, and it has refresh potency instead of refresh, so keep your old hat.

Stats are on BGWiki, I believe.

The base has that, but he's wondering what the augments are, there is also the potential that the refresh +2 (or maybe 3) could come in the shape of the augments, after all the refresh +2 was an augment on Spurrina.

Would be pretty weak if the 119 version doesn't retain refresh.

The D path only offers more INT, macc and some -Enmity as seen here

What about the other paths? If they have indeed ditched the refresh then crazy decision, people are gonna need both!
