Or something worthwhile like guarantees weather effects.

Watch it be something funky like "Enhances weather effects" for SCH.

I think S-E already said the Devs have no plans to do that, and extremely unlikely to change their minds. IIRC, one representative went as far as stating he expects players to toss the ring after using up the charges.

It would be nice if the Devs and Event Moogle NPCs could be on the same page.

i remeber reading somewhere that we could be able to re-charge the Anyversary ring at next aniversary event but only those that kept their ring would be able to do so...

You probably read that in a poster's theory on what might possibly, could be, who knows happen during a future Anniversary celebration event.

Edit:

Given COR plays off of job traits and neither job offers anything new in that regard, I'm placing my bets SE will be giving us a split Haste to compete with, but not replace Haste in its other forms.

The rolls would be interesting maybe a TP regen thing for Dancer Roll or something like that, Or a Weather effect type roll for SCH roll that enhances the effect of weather in the region for the person with it on.

COR already has a TP buff - Samurai Roll.

I pretty much assume that Dancer's Roll will be Melee Haste and Scholar's Roll will be -% Recast. Given COR plays off of job traits and neither job offers anything new in that regard, I'm placing my bets SE will be giving us a split Haste to compete with, but not replace Haste in its other forms.

Mine's sitting in storage for eternity.


And I've long-since figured out DNC roll (Assuming my theories prove correct) I've been saying for months now it's going to be either Regain or Haste, unless SE decides to do something screwy thus forcing my foot into my mouth.

As for SCH roll, still don't have a damn clue. A Friend of mine said it could be weather effects or something like that.

EDIT: Holy crap, what if it's conserve MP? Seeing as Light/Dark Arts lowers MP Cost...

New Blue Magic
Dancer's Roll
Scholar's Roll
Teleport Spells
Other job adjustments.

I am also more interested in these BLU magic especially since im planning to move it to a potential LVL (maybe able to equip more spells to)

Other job updates im intrested in

Primarily RDM- melee buff thing aside we need some type of MACC boost to take reliance from staves more than anything. (Not to replace staves but to a point where we have better resaults with or with out them.) Since we can only spend a limite number of merits to boost them ourselves.

Something to make WAR a desirable Tank again maybe teir 2 Defender/Breserk type things, the reliance on PLD's and NIN's is hard now since they are scarce on my server except endgame.

There is one teleport i would like to see and only one, a tele point outside of WG, i have the quest for bastok > WG warp but im not always there to use it.

As for emperor band i hope it provides a bonus while partying in RoZ/CoP areas only to try and take away from the hell that ToA has caused, BLM,PUP,WHM are overlooked for parties because of the break neck speed. Sending us back to old haunts to earn decent XP and needing a traditional setup would be the easiest way to fix party dynamics for mid - endgame parties. Allowing BLM to come back, PUPs to get invites, and maybe restore the traditional Backline of RDM,WHM,BLM

The veil of fog is pretty exciting and showing us the "Crap" end of the update makes it even more so.

If FFXI has taught us nothing else, it's that you don't toss anything unless you know for certain there is an easy way to get it back. I'm surprised they would expect us to do otherwise at this point.

Update is most likely early next week, which would still be considered "early March"

yeah thats what I've been hearing as well.

Re: Changes Scheduled for the March Version Update (03/04/2008)

More xp bonuses? Maybe this one is only equippable past a certain level or something. Who's to say until we get the damn thing? Dance emotes are a long time coming, now if only I could actually /slap people I'd be happy. :D

Re: Changes Scheduled for the March Version Update (03/04/2008)

I want the new Teleport spells more than anything else that's likely to be included in this update.

Re: Changes Scheduled for the March Version Update (03/04/2008)

Or it could just be poor wording/translation.

That's my guess.

They were conquest items before, I don't see why they'd change it. Its not SE's problem if you don't do Conquest, there's still plenty of incentive to do it. Really though, I don't see a need for yet another way to boost EXP per day/hour. We get enough free EXP now, to the point its made people really stupid.

Where do you get your free EXP?
