Artwork for "A Shantotto Ascension"

The latest add-on for Final Fantasy XI, “A Shantotto Ascension-The Legend Torn, Her Empire Born”, went live on November 9th, alongside a Final Fantasy XI patch. In addition, the Final Fantasy XI Ultimate Collection hits shelves November 10th for PC and the Xbox 360, making for a very exciting start to the week. Here is a list of a few of the major changes available as a result of said patch.

Event-related updates:

• New Quests have been added, primarily in areas introduced since the Wings of the Goddess expansion.
• A new Maze Voucher, Maze Runes, and rewards have been added to “Moblin Maze Mongers”. Unused Maze Runes can be exchanged for Moblin Marbles. Also, the variety of monsters that appear in the “Sanitation Team” objective has been increased.

  The amount of chocobucks awarded to chocobo race winners has been increased, new rewards have been added, and the race schedule has been adjusted.

• The new craft skill “Synergy” has been added to the craft skills window, but will not be effective until the next version update later this month. (Kinda pointless to put it in, then, isn’t it?)
• For campaign changes, NPCs distributing temporary items will no longer appear in beastman strongholds during Campaign Battles. Campaign Arbiter distributers will not be affected. Also, new treasures have been added to the obtainable items available when participating in the Beaucedine Glacier [S] and Xarcabard [S]

Battle-related changes include:

• New Notorius Monster have been added to various areas, and the distribution of certain monsters in the Xacabard [S] area has been tweeked.
• Velocity Shot, Unlimited Shot, and Camoflage have been adjusted for the Ranger job class.
• The Avatar’s Favor ability has been added for the Summoners class.
• The “Ready” command replaces the “Sic” command for the Beastmaster class, altering how you select abilities for your pet.
• The Scholar job ability “Modus Veritas” has been adjusted.

The Evolith and Synergy systems are scheduled to be introduced in an update later this November.

You may find more detailed information on the update on the Final Fantasy XI PlayOnline update page.

As stated earlier, on November 10th, Square-Enix is also releasing the Final Fantasy XI: Ultimate Collection. Everyone and anyone interested in the add-on “A Shantotto Ascension”, should definitely consider purchasing the collection, as it retails at only $20 and features everything Final Fantasy XI has to offer (including the “Shantotto Ascension” add-on).
