Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

Is that picture of the upcoming update of Putraxia in Vagary or B/F boss in Sortie? I see a vagary campaign recently announced for July so I'm assuming it's that, or if it is Sortie-related, are there planned updates/QOL improvements they had talked about previously? I can't tell based on the background if it's vagary or sortie (I don't do vagary anymore)...

I think its about time for them to add EP bonus like the ones from capacity points.

Maybe some RoE related to Sortie, i would hope

Probably the Sortie Records of Eminence they mentioned they were planning.

Monthly RoE for Old Case +1 incoming.

One time RoE for Old Case*

Looking forward to my min roll SMN+1 earring.

Does anyone have an archived copy of the April Fool's update post from this year? You wouldn't think I'd have to ask this, since it's been less than three months...

But while the tweet that points to it is still up:

The post itself gives me a permission error whether or not I'm logged in to the OF:
https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/61604

and while this does not surprise me, because it's Square Enix and because it's the internet in 2024, I actually liked some of those jokes and wanted to show someone else who had missed them.

The only archive.org snapshot is from April 11 and doesn't have anything but the "you can't access this" error.

What is the best Cataclysm Staff for WAR MNK SCH? Seems to be Xaonon for WAR and MNK?

Xoanon definitely for WAR and MNK.
For SCH, for damage probably Opashoro > Mpaca's > Tupsi, in that order. Tupsi's AM3 is going to be amazing for WS frequency tho.

Is the Mpacs R0 or RPd there? Not looking at any RMEA on SCH

Mpaca R0 or fully augmented Marin Staff +1 then.
