Ick. They seem to be fixing the activate/deactivate Pup trick. No more endless nuking I guess.

Hmmm they fixing bad breath? Interesting.

[Omnitank]

Looks good I am pretty excited about the Choco thing.

Unfortunately, I am still in Kuwait and won't be home till the end of next month.

A few of the Morbol NMs have been having issues lately where there are no status effects applied from Bad Breath sometimes (I can verify that Voluptuous Vixen, at least, is currently suffering from this).

Moved to front page news, merged posts and reformatted to suit front page news.

Also interesting to note are the changes to the descriptions of the 8 elemental booster belts from sea. I wonder what the new text will be?

I also see now that I reread over it that the fighting fish tank is being resized. I assume this will make it 1x1 like the Goldfish bowl instead of the 2x1 that it currently is.

[Ayrlie]

doesn't matter. i'll be sleeping during this time, then waking up in time to head to work. ><

Here's hoping you can summon a chocobo at the Vahzl crystal and actually ride it to Fei'Yin. Gawd, I hate that run.

Well, i read their post. They say you will be able to call it anywhere. Of course only where you are able to ride.

Unfortunately, we don't know if we can ride up in Xarcabard or not. We've never been able to have a chocobo in that area. Though I assume that since it's considered an outdoor area, we'll be good.

That and I've been told that Bards can only use Chocobo Mazurka in an area that chocobos are allowed. We know that Mazurka works in Xarcabard and Beaucedine.

Now that makes me wonder something else. I would like to assume that Zeruhn Mines is not considered a dungeon, because you cannot use escape there, and using escape in Korroloka puts you in Zeruhn. I wonder if we would be able to call them in Zeruhn. I doubt it, but it would be pretty funny. There'd be no reason to do it anyway, except to see if it is possible.
