Starlight Celebration...
was the name of the Christmas event SE was putting on this month. After loggin in and looking at all the wonderful Christmasy decorations, I was on my way to the mog house when I saw another dynamis death pile...
After some lols and poking bodies I went around town to see more decorations. I only took pics of the decorations in windy today at the
Bomingo Round
in Windurst Woods. Each nation has a location for main decorations. In Bastok it's over at Port Bastok's Beligen Square. In Sandy it's at Northern San d'Oria's
Parade Grounds
Unfortunately I didn't do the event cause of the moogles selling previous gifts from Starlight Celebration 2004. I bought the moogles goodies and just forgot about doing the whole quest to it. I guess I just figured it was good enough. I purchased a dream hat and christmas trees from each nation for my mog house.
I took one last final pic before logging for the day at my mog house with all my new furniture goodies. Tarutarus look even better with a dream hat on!
Also, I can't forget to mention the update that took place today...
Final Fantasy Update
You can check this link here for the exact update details. Here are some of the details I thought were interesting:
[Event-Related]
Several new quests have been added, including a quest to obtain the summonable avatar Diabolos, and an event that culminates in a battle with the mighty Wyrmking, Bahamut!
[Battle-Related]
The following measures against MPK (Monster Player Kill) have been implemented.
-If a player is KO'd or moves to a new area while fighting a monster outside the radius that it remains within when not engaged in battle, the monster will not begin attacking others in the surrounding area. Instead, it will simply disappear.
After being drawn out of that radius during battle and released, the monster will disappear, and then reappear after a short time in its proper location. In addition, the monster that reappears will be the exact same monster that disappeared, and not another monster of the same type.
This rule will not apply to notorious monsters.
-Monsters that have been rendered immobile with the "Bind" spell will not attack anyone other than the party or alliance that it is targeting.
The maximum number of usable merit points has been increased in all categories in the following manner:
Combo total and sub-categories:
-HP/MP
-Attributes
-Combat skills
-Magic skills
-Others
Combo total only:
-Individual job categories
An issue wherein the delay between disengaging from an enemy and being able to attack once more not being equal to the delay of the weapon equipped has been addressed.
*This delay is calculated after considering “Haste” and “Slow” effects.
