Posted by: Cuer - Wed Dec 08th, 2004 09:34 pm EST

The bi-monthly patches in Final Fantasy XI are notable for the large amount of content added and changed throughout the game. This bulletin will compile patch information to make it easier to track all of it. This covers the December 8, 2004 and December 14, 2004 FFXI patches. (To view the info about the previous major patches, see the News Highlights.) All new and updated mobs, items, NPCs, BCNMs and quests will eventually be detailed below.

NPCs

Any NPC additions and changes are listed here.

A new Tarutaru NPC was added next to the Merry Minstrel in Jueno Lower, Parike-Poranke. He removes food effects in exchange for a Gysahl Green, making it easier to test the new food effects.
New NPCs added in other towns: Rudolfo and Zoriboh in Rabao; Sohyon, Vishwas, and Hayris in Norg; Patient Wheel in Bastok Port. These are all used in the new Outland quest Chasing Dreams.

Mobs

New Mobs

Apart from the new BCNMs, a handful of other new mobs went into the game.

The new high level NM Xolotl was added in Attohwa Chasm. It drops three newly available items.
The new NM Tres Duendes was added in Phomiuna Aqueducts. It drops three new weapons.
The new NM Boroka was added in Riverne - Site #B01. It drops four new items.
The new NM Carmine Dobsonfly was added in Riverne - Site #A01. It drops three new items.

Changed Mobs

As mentioned vaguely in the patch notes, "The conditions for certain notorious monsters to appear, as well as the drop rates for the items they carry, have been adjusted." If you have details about mob spawn or drop changes, be sure to leave feedback and let us know the specifics.

The Stroper Chyme now can spawn up to 4 at once, and appear to have changed spawn points and times.
The drop rate for the Emperor Hairpin from the Valkurm Emperor appears to have been reduced.
The spawn location for Mee Deggi the Punisher has been extended to the entire courtyard, instead of just the column where he used to spawn.
As mentioned in the patch notes, "A new reward for completing the quest "Tuning Out" has been added." This is the new Cache-nez head item.

Obtaining Items

When patches first come out, a lot of rumors fly around about exactly where new items can be found. It appears that this happened with the drops for the items required for the new Gobbiebag quest. The information on those drops has been corrected, in the database and the table below. As always, if you have specific information on a drop that you have seen which is not in our database, please leave feedback and let us know the details.

Item Drops Changed & Added in the Patch

The Astral Ring load has been moved from the Castle Oztroja Coffer into the Treasure and Tribulations BCNM. The Oztroja coffer now loads the new Safeguard Ring, instead.
A number of drops found elsewhere, most notably the Venomous Claw, are now dropping in the new BCNMs. This has necessarily sent the price of the Scorpion Harness plummeting.
Other high level crafting ingredients were added as drops in new BCNMs. These include: Orichalcum Ingot, Damascene Cloth, Damascus Ingot, Lacquer Tree Log, Divine Log.
A new set of Rare/Exclusive weapons went in, with Latent Affects that have high damage and a Critical Hit Rate boost. These Exclusive weapons seem to be available only in the new BCNMs, marking a change in the type of items regularly available from BCNMs.
Many of the new items for quests are dropping from mobs that were already in the game, primarily in the Chains of Promathia zones. Scroll down to see the drops for items that are known, so far.

New Items

This list details the items that were added into the data files. It is important to note that just because an item shows up here, that does not automatically mean that it is actually available in the game; sometimes items are added to the files but not made available in FFXI. As much as possible, the only items we put into the DB here are ones that look feasible to be in the game. Information about how an item is obtained will be added as it is known. This is a constant work in progress, and we are looking for useful information to help fill in the information here; if you have info about how an item is obtained, be sure to leave feedback and let us know the specifics.

Food Effects Revamp

The food system in Final Fantasy XI was revamped dramatically with the December patches. This included adjustment to crafting recipes, food effects and duration, among other changes. The major changes to the food system are outlined below; the latest info on the food effects and system can be found in the Final Fantasy XI Food Effects Guide.

Food Variety
The overall food revamp was done in such a way to encourage players to use many different types of food over the course of their character leveling. Before the change, there were two types of food (kabobs and pies) that 95% of the players used on a regular basis. That is changing -- for a character to be the most efficient and get the most power from their food, they will want to switch between various foods depending on the level and base stats of the character. This necessarily makes a much broader market for Culinary crafters, as well as the players who gather and fish the ingredients needed for this crafted food.

Food Effect Changes
Most of the food items in the game had their effects tweaked at least a little; some of them have been entirely revamped. Interestingly, the most commonly available foods (those sold by NPCs in stores, or the very popular pies and mithkabobs) had their effects changed very little. The less-known food items were adjusted in a much more dramatic fashion.

With these changes, there are now more powerful food items for almost every possible status than were in the game previously. For example, food that increases MP has been expanded to many other options beyond fruit pies. There are multiple foods for high level casters that will increase MP over 70: ones that are inexpensive to make, like Orange Kuchen; stackable ones like the Gelato; high-powered ones that give substantial other boosts, such as Crimson Jelly. Tanking jobs have foods that raise Defense much farther than before at low levels, as well as powerful high-end items to munch on: food such as Shallops Tropicale, Seafood Stew, and the awe-inspiring Tavnazian Salad provide bonuses not seen on previous food. On the offensive side, melee damage jobs have a plethora of food that increases Attack, along with some other new food that raise Accuracy, such as the sushi line.

One change of note to Rangers and Ninjas is the split that was made between melee and ranged statuses. Foods that raise Attack no longer automatically raise Ranged Attack; likewise, foods that raise Accuracy do not automatically raise Ranged Accuracy. Many of the more powerful foods do raise both melee and ranged statuses; over time, the specifics of which food raises what statuses will become clearer, making it easier to find the best food for each job.

Effect Caps
The most important change to make note of is the way that certain "statuses" are now capped when increased by food. A percentage increase in any of the following statuses by a food item is usually capped: Attack, Ranged Attack, Defense, Accuracy, Ranged Accuracy, HP, MP. The way these caps work is that there is a percentage increase to the status, a capped amount that the status increase will not go beyond, and a calculated level at which it isn't efficient to use that food.

An example of the food caps can be seen by looking at Boiled Crayfish, which only has one effect:

Defense +30% (Cap: 25@83 Base Defense)

This food boosts the Defense of whoever uses it. The first number, Defense +30%, signifies that the Defense of the character is increased by 30% when the food is eaten. The next set of numbers tells us the limit of this percentage increase. Cap: 25 means that the food will raise Defense by a maximum of 25 points. The @83 Base Defense is a simple calculation to show that if a character has 83 or more base Defense (including armor and buffs) before they eat the food, they will hit that cap of 25 Defense from the food. So, if a low level paladin with 70 base Defense wants to get food to help him tank, this would be great food for him. Once he gets more levels and has a base Defense much above 83, however, he'll want to eat food with a higher Defense cap.

This setup is used on the percentage increase food effects; a status is increased by a certain percent, and is also capped to keep it from becoming too powerful. This encourages players to use different food instead of the exact same kind through all their character's leveling. Note that many of the effects on the food items in the database do not have caps listed for them right now; that's because they just haven't been discovered yet. It seems likely that all foods effects outlined above that are increased by a percentage amount do have a hard cap on them.

Food Duration
All food was given standard duration, based on the type of item that it is. The changes are as follows:

3 Minutes - The new Snack Food detailed below has a 3 minute duration, for the Normal Quality crafted versions. This is an entirely new duration of food; no standard food had this short of a duration previously.
5 Minutes - The High Quality version of Snack Food lasts for 5 minutes, as well as all raw food: raw fish, raw meat, all vegetables. This reduces further any meager usefulness that raw food had, as well as the small bonus that Mithra and Galka races had by being able to eat raw fish and meat, respectively; presumably, characters are being encouraged to eat crafted food.
30 Minutes - This the duration for Normal Quality crafted food that stacks to 12. Most of that type of food already had a 30 minute duration, so this didn't change many foods of that type.
60 Minutes - This is the duration for High Quality crafted food that stacks to 12. Most of that food had this duration previously, so little of that was changed. There were a handful of HQ food items that did not stack previously that were changed to 12-stackable, to give them this standard duration.
3 Hours - All non-stackable crafted Normal Quality food now has a 3 hour duration. This is a huge change from the previous duration of this food; most of it used to last 60 minutes.
4 Hours - All non-stackable crafted High Quality food now has a 4 hour duration. Since most of it had a 90 minute duration previously, this is also a substantial increase.

The most substantial changes in duration are found in the non-stackable food; with it's multi-hour duration, a character can use one for a standard experience party, or two for a long one. A standard approach when joining a pickup party now is to keep a stack of NQ food to use when the party starts; after that 30 minute food wears off, if the party looks like it will be going for many hours, use the more powerful non-stackable food.

Other Food Changes

The Rice Ball type of food used primarily by Samurai was changed, with regard to their extra effects. All Rice Balls have standard effects when used, just like regular food. They also have extra effects that activate if an item is worn with the Enhances Effects of Rice Balls effect on it, when the rice ball is eaten. The equipment with that special effect is the Samurai Artifact armor Myochin Kote, or a level 71 head item Roshi Jinpachi. The extra effects will kick if either of these two items is worn when a rice ball is eaten. If both pieces of equipment are used when a rice ball is eaten, the extra effects are doubled. With this change, a Samurai equipped with both of these pieces of armor can get tremendous effects out of rice balls both offensively and defensively. (Note that at this time the exact "Double Attack" increase given by an enhanced Tonosama Rice Ball or Shogun Rice Ball is not known, although it is still there.)
The curry food items seem to have some variable stats built in to them. Previously, the change in stats was based entirely on the race of the character eating them. They now seem to have stats that change based on other variables besides race, perhaps including time, day of the week, or moon phase. The stats we have should be approximate boosts from curry food, but you may see some variability from the stats listed.

Snack Food
A new Snack Food type of item was added that can be used instead of standard food. These items stack to 99, and the recipe results are in increments of 33. The snack food only lasts for a short time; 3 minutes for the Normal Quality version, or 5 minutes for the High Quality version. The primary effects from most of this type of food are regen bonuses while resting; some also provide Killer effects. The full details of this, along with the rest of the information about the current food setup in FFXI, can be found in the Final Fantasy XI Food Effects Guide.

Other Changes & Additions

Other changes that don't fit in the catagories above are listed here.

All the tools for Ninja spells had their icons changed.
All the Pet Food items had the amount of HP that they restore raised. The new "base amount" appears to be around 50% higher than the previous stats; it seems that the Mind of a Beastmaster helps raise the HP restore amount more than before. (The previous issue with Pet Food Gamma was fixed in the Dec 14 Patch.)
