Quote: Greetings, kupo!
The Kupo Shield was designed to be a special item for Mog Bonanza, and at the moment there are no plans to introduce alternative avenues for obtaining it.
However, in terms of synthesis, the development team is currently in the midst of planning adjustments and additions.
Once I have details and a time frame, I will be sure to update you.

When you take an amount of damage exceeding your remaining HP, you will negate the damage and restore your HP to its maximum value for one time only.*
*Does not apply to the "Iroha" alter ego.
*Does not apply to techniques such as the dark magic spell "Death" or the "Doom" special attack.
Dark Matter Arcane Glyptics Campaign
Geas Fete notorious monsters in Reisenjima through Arcane Glyptics can be engraved with arcane glyptics up to six times at no additional charge, with the equipment receiving the same benefits as if they were engraved with dark matter.
* Visit Oseem in Norg (I-7) to engrave your equipment.
* At 7:00 a.m. (PST) each day (Earth time), the restriction is lifted and you will be able to engrave your equipment up to six times again.
Other stuff too, but i found these 2 new ones to be....badly translated.
Like is the trust one for us, or the trusts? It reads like we will be reserected 1x per battle, but then the notes say iroha wont participate which makes more sense if it was trusts that will be raised.
As for dark matter....does that mean we can trade resi gear to oseem for 6x free dark matter augments a day?
Just ...awful translations. Like no one even bothered to read the new ones.

No, you miss understood.
In november, that was the last time they ran the WKR campaign.
It was 3 weeks of regular +2, and the for the last week of that campaign it went to +4.
I know LAST WEEK (week 3 of rainbow) was +2, I was saying there has never been a full month of +4, just 1 week at a time and only once before as far as i remember.

The final week of the November campaigns is probably what he meant, since that was a twofer not unlike the current Rainbow biz.
Does Iroha normally RR or something? I never pay attention to my trusts' health until about 30 seconds after they've died.

If you talk to the NPC and you choose augment gear, you'll see an option at bottom that says "Technique" I'm assuming this is what they meant as you get 6 tries. From my experience the augments were god awful and if they reflect actual dark matter augments...save your gil.

My interpretation is ANY Reisenjima stone can give augment potential that Dark Matters can - up to 7 times per day.

Trust HQ:
It applies to Trusts. Just tested in several Geas Fete within Ru'Aun. Amchuchu almost died multiple times (due to a hit dealing excessive damage - across different fights, not same fight), and it would say the following:
"Amchuchu stands resolute thanks to the power of the bonds that tie you!"
I do not know if it can happen more than once for the same instance of the trust. Because of this, I would un-summon and resummon Amchuchu before each fight.

Dark Matter
So far, it is free without any need for Dark Matter. Simply select Techniques, and you will be given random augments as if you used a Dark Matter. I only have one piece of Reisenjima gear to test on, so I do not know if this is 6 tries per piece per day, or just 6 tries per day overall.
Anyone? :}
Addon: P.S. the augments did pretty much suck as people have said for Dark Matter. Except, I did get a "Acc+20, MACC+ 20, MAB+20" roll that would've been great if I cared about elemental weaponskills. Ha.

Refresh is what I was going to gun for with Herc hands and feet. Would be nice to get serp gear out of idle set for BLU.

Just wanted to post this because these augs are so funny... would have blown my mind to get this aug on basically ANY other gear:
edit: Just FYI its 6 TOTAL per day, not per piece

Refresh and TH augs are easily the biggest reason to care about the DM campaign. Other good augments are possible, sure, but they're far more rare since you're really looking for a favorable combination of augments. Refresh and TH are good on their own, you don't need anything else.

4/4 basically - Reisen bodies have no base Refresh, so Witching and HQ abj gear beat them.

I got refresh+2 on herc feet. But since I'm so impatient and wanted str+20 acc+40 att+40 and wsdmg+40, I quickly erased it before I realized how valuable the +2 was. Also don't have a second pair which likely played a part in that. I regret doing that now.
additionally, though the campaign is free, this has the potential to really slap the ***out of your hopes for augments. Sure Dark Matters did this, but we were more diligent with our spending. Now, 6 per day means that I am getting my hopes up for pet acc+20 att+20 when I have no native pet jobs I play.
Never in the world has so many pet augments appeared for no reason other than to piss us off.

MAB +9, Fast Cast +2, Refresh +1 on Chironic Gloves.
Extra idle refresh for those jobs is nice :)

Hi.
Dev tracker is a kind of feed in Official Forum that highlight (in the left side bar) posts from development team to players demands, questions and sugestion. Given that those answers are given by someone who effectively works with the deveopment of this game, they can be considered as official and true.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/forum.php
The japanese side of OF has its own dev tracker, that normally is way more active and detailed than english side. If someone feel like translating it to bring the info, feel welcomed too.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/search.php?searchid=15480698
BG site has one specific topic just to publish and discuss those official answers, and i think ffxiah lacks something similar as not everyone here check BG or OF, so lots of details/dev opinion are missed. So, thats the point of this topic, anyone who see new info in dev tracker feeds, quote it here, and start a discussion if you feel like.
Starting now, a couple of new dev posts were released after march update annoucement. Here they are:
Trust changes
Quote: [dev1261] Alter Ego Adjustments
It will be possible to summon alter egos in the following content.
Walk of Echoes
Wanted battles
It will be possible to summon alter egos in the following mission battlefields.
Wings of the Goddess missions
When Wills Collide / Maiden of the Dusk
It will be possible to summon alter egos for the following quest battlefields.
Wings of the Goddess quests
Champion of the Dawn / The Dawn Also Rises / A Forbidden Reunion
-----
Dev answer to a sugestion to add new ways to obtain dusk type of alluvion skirmish stone.
Quote: Since dusk-type stones were just implemented, we'd like players to do alluvion skirmishes to obtain them, so there are no plans to add the ability to trade other items for these stones at the moment.
However, we'll look into increasing the amount in circulation and the means of obtaining them in some way in a future version update.
Monster rearing news:
Quote: [dev1262] Mog Garden Adjustments
Monster Rearing will undergo the following adjustments.
A monster's mood will no longer degrade from "beaming with pure contentment" after collecting items or interacting with the monster.
The collective moods of all creatures will generate auras of light or darkness that affects them all.
Light
When the number of creatures beaming with pure contentment is greater than that succumbing to darkness, all creatures’ contentment and mood are increased.
Darkness
When the number of creatures succumbing to darkness is greater than that beaming with pure contentment, all monsters' contentment and mood are decreased.
The following information will be displayed when entering your Mog Garden.
The number of days left on assistants’ contracts.
The current affinity of the Mog Garden.
Mog garden gathering points will undergo the following adjustments.
It will be possible to scrap any unwanted flotsam directly without receiving it in cases where the player’s inventory is full or he is otherwise unable to recover it.
Sugestion about blu traits having aditional tier info.
Quote: This is something that is difficult for us to address at the moment as we would have to send data each time you open the menu to see which tier you currently have. We're concerned about this largely affecting UI response time.
Similarly the same holds true for saving the data client-side as well. Since all of the trait data for this would have to be saved, it would consume large amounts of memory, which also makes this feature difficult to implement.
