Hey what do people think about the HQ version of Relic? Does anyone think that maybe if you get the HQ version of your relic and it has "Enhances Meditate" do you think it would enhance it more than the normal relic?

Just a note: per the latest news, these are the details that were added to the patch notes, regarding the new fish ranking going in.




Fish Ranking is now available.

-Speak to the NPC Chenon at the Fishermen’s Guild in Selbina to learn about or participate in Fish Ranking.

-About Fish Ranking
A certain variety of fish will be specified for each Fish Ranking contest. Players who wish to participate must obtain the fish and trade it to Chenon. The participant whose entry best fits the conditions set forth in the contest rules will be declared victorious.
Contest entries for Fish Ranking will be accepted for a period of two weeks (Earth time). After the competition is over, the results will be announced for the next two-week period. This cycle will continue so that the event is held twelve times a year.

-Conditions for Participation
Anybody can participate as long as he or she possesses the fish specified by Chenon. There are also no rules regarding the method of acquiring the fish. You can catch it yourself, buy it at the auction house, or search other players’ bazaars.

-Rules
Three rules determine what kind of fish to seek for the contest.

<Standard Rules of Evaluation>
Rule A: Type of Fish
The first rule specifies the variety of fish to be used for the contest.
Rule B: Fish Specifications
The second rule specifies whether the fish will be evaluated based on its weight, size, or both.
Rule C: Large vs. Small
The third rule specifies whether the fish with the greatest value or the smallest value of weight/size will be declared the winner.

Speak to Chenon while entries are being accepted to learn the rules for the current competition.

-How to Participate
Trade the fish specified for the contest to Chenon during the submission period to participate in Fish Ranking.

*Note
-You must pay a small registration fee in order to submit an entry.
-You cannot view other players’ fishing records during the submission period.
-You can only have one submission entered into the contest at a time. You may submit new entries, but please note that any new entry will remove the previous submission from the contest.
-Any fish that have been entered in a Fish Ranking competition will be labeled and will be unusable for future contests. However, no other changes to the fish will be made, and it may be used in any other typical way, such as selling, cooking, and quests. However, if a labeled fish is sold, it will not lose its mark, and will continue to be unavailable for contest entry.

-The Submission Period
During the submission period, you may confirm or withdraw your entry at any time at no extra cost. However, please take note that you cannot resubmit an entry that has been withdrawn.

-Ranking Results
The results will be announced following the two-week submission period. Speak to Chenon to view the ranking board.
The ranking board lists rank, tier, the participant’s name, and entry details.&#12288;In the case of a tie, the tied rank will be listed twice, and the list will skip the following number. For example, if two players tied for rank 2, the list would display as follows.

Rank 1
Rank 2
Rank 2
Rank 4
...

-Awards
The top twenty participants will be eligible for the following awards.

Rank 1: Title “Gold Hook,” Pelican Ring, and prize money
Rank 2: Title “Mythril Hook,” Pelican Ring, and prize money
Rank 3: Title “Silver Hook,” Pelican Ring, and prize money
Rank 4-10: Title “Copper Hook,” Pelican Ring, and prize money
Rank 11-20: Pelican Ring

You can view the ranking by speaking to Chenon during the announcement period and selecting “View ranking board.” If you have placed in the top ten, a special graphic will display, showing that you are eligible for an award.
In the event of a tie, all players will receive an award and a new title with regard to their tier, but the prize money will be divided among the participants.

*Note
Award winners may receive their prize at any time while the results are being announced. However, the player will no longer be eligible for an award after the announcement period ends, so it is important to accept your prize in a timely fashion. If your inventory is full, you will be unable to accept your reward. If you do not make space in your inventory and accept your prize before the announcement period is over, you will not be able to receive it at a later time.

-Additional Notes
>All ranking results are erased at the end of the announcement period. However, you can view the number of awards received in each tier using the “View award history” option.
>You can revert to any previously received title by speaking to a bard in the town where the title was originally earned.

Some JPs killed Bahamut, some friends were talking about it last night. He summoned, as Kirin does, Tiamat, Jormungand, Vrtra, and Ouryu to help him. His summoning was more or less on an HP base than time. Vrtra apparently had been giving people trouble with his Charmga and.. well you only have 18 people. I also heard it`s an hour, not thirty minutes, which I would believe. Hell, Ouryu fight is an hour. Their drops were a Bahamut`s Staff, Cashmere Thread, and Kunwu Ore.

Some NA attempted it and talk about the drops also, Bahamut's Mask was another drop. A lot of good info about the fight is on that thread with some maybe useful strategies.

Made some HQ stew pots with the following results:

Prized Beef Stewpot
Original stats on 75 NIN:

STR 14 -> 18
AGI 4 -> 6
MND -4 -> -2
Attack 342 -> 405
HP 991 -> 1090

Prime Crab Stewpot

Original stats on 75 PLD:
Defense 342 -> 457
HP 1380 -> 1461
MP 286 -> 304

Thanks for this info. It's somewhat confusing though; presumably you had more than 4 AGI to start with as a level 75 Ninja... did you get +2 AGI from the Prized Beef Stewpot, or how much? I'm not quite following that, but once we have it clarified it will certainly be added.

The Compilation of Info has finally gotten another update; almost all the new food now has detailed stats, although there are no doubt more to fill in to complete them.
