Patch Notes

Introducing the Mog Vault!

Inventory woes, begone! CatsEyeXI is proud to introduce a brand-new storage system that will change how you manage your gear and items: the Mog Vault. (Haruuc)

Kept secret since the days of the ancient moogle kingdom of Kupalika, the Mog Vault is an extradimensional pocket of Quantum Moogle space. Items placed inside the Vault completely vanish from this plane of existence... until you choose to swap them back into reality.

In practical terms:

• The Mog Vault lets you swap the entire contents of a storage container with a container inside the Vault.
• By putting items in the Mog Vault, you can free up a Wardrobe, Mog Satchel, Mog Sack, or Mog Case to hold more items.
• Anything inside the Mog Vault is completely inaccessible while stored (not even searchable with /find).

With the Mog Vault, your storage just got much less cramped. No more tough choices about which jobs to gear or which craft items to toss; just stash them in the Vault, and bring them back when you're ready!

Unlocking the Mog Vault

• Begin the quest by speaking to Moggy (Kazham, H-9).
• Moggy will ask for your help tracking down his missing big bro, Mogster. You will be tasked with delivering letters from moogle to moogle in order to solve the mystery.
• Completing the quest unlocks:
  • 1 Vault Deposit Box (for Satchel/Sack/Case)
  • 1 Vault Wardrobe (for equipment wardrobes)

Using the Mog Vault

• Once unlocked, you can use the !vault command while in town to view your Mog Vault.
• For 10,000 gil, you may swap one of your containers with its Vault counterpart:
  • Vault Deposit Box ↔ Satchel, Sack, or Case
  • Vault Wardrobe ↔ any Wardrobe 1-8
• The swap always exchanges the entire contents of both containers. (No single-item transfers!)
• If your Vault container is empty, swapping will leave you with an empty container to refill as you like. Next time you swap, you'll trade the full container for whatever's in the Vault.

Heads Up! You won't be able to swap out items that are currently equipped, or swap in items that would cause you to have multiple copies of a Rare item.

Unlocking More Storage

Everyone who completes the quest begins with 1 Vault Deposit Box and 1 Vault Wardrobe. In future updates, you'll be able to earn additional Vault containers by doing favors for moogles. Stay tuned!

Mythic Weapon Progression

The following changes open up new avenues for players to progress their mythic weapon, while keeping the challenge intact (Haruuc)

A new force-spawn system for ToAU beastman kings has been introduced.

Players can now obtain force-spawn pop items to challenge Medusa, Gulool Ja Ja, and Gurfurlur the Menacing. These force-spawned NMs grant the same title as the time-spawned versions, and they are guaranteed to drop an EX (non-tradeable) trophy!

Pop items are earned through ISNMs (Imperial Standing Notorious Monsters):

• Talacca Cove ISNMs → Fang of Stheno (Medusa pop)
• Jade Sepulcher ISNMs → Dawnservant Drum (Gulool Ja Ja pop)
• Navukgo Execution Chamber ISNMs → Mubtakir Naphtha (Gurfurlur pop)

That's right: ISNMs now drop the new ToAU beastman king pop items! At first, the chance to get a pop item is very low: 1/80 per run (1.25%). But a new Disfavor system ensures you are protected from bad luck. If you fail to get the item the first time, your chances increases to 1/79. After that, 1/78. The more times you fail to get the item, the higher your odds!

To enter an ISNM, you can speak to Shajaf in Aht Urghan Whitegate as in retail, and spend 2,000 or 3,000 Imperial Standing (IS) once per real-life day for a Confidential (Lv60 cap) or Secret (Lv75 cap) Imperial Order. And now, the nearby qiqirn Shasharoon can sell you the other order the same day, but the cost for second order is steep... getting both imperial orders in a day will cost you 20,000 IS total!

Pop items are traded to a new pedestal in each HNM's lair. Force-spawned NMs spawn immediately, aggroed to you - no claim shield! These fights do not affect the spawn times of the natural/timed spawn ToAU beastmen kings.

• When creating a mythic weapon, players may now substitute any one trophy (HNM or ZNM) with Balrahn's Eyepatch (100,000 Therion Ichor).

• Added additional teleports for all 5 towers to Palalumin (Loxley)
• Reduced the cost of Rubious Crystal teleports (Loxley)
• All chips used for Ultima/Omega and Lumoria NMs can now be stacked (Loxley)

Hunter

• Hunter is now rolled server wide each week, so there is no longer any need to form a party when accepting a hunt (Loxley)
• Crystal Warriors are assigned a different weekly hunt to other modes (Loxley)

Items

• Adoulin Letters are no longer Rare can can be stacked to 12 (Loxley)
• Resolved an issue with the Nashira Manteel augment process (Haruuc)
