JUNE INFORMATION POST
Hello everyone, it's time for the monthly information post once again! This post shall detail what few events will punctuate this month and introduce new features to the game. This month will have no plot and nothing more than small, light-hearted mini-events for characters to relax and have fun. With this break, they will have the time to do what they want.
On the other hand, this summer there will be a game-wide, succession plot heavy events that will affect everyone. The characters will get a few hints as to what awaits them, and more details will be posted in the July/August Information post. In the meantime, should you have any questions regarding this month's happenings or the new features, please feel free to post them here.
I Believe I Can Fly || June 10th
Many characters have offered to help with the Enterprise, and a log will be posted for them to work together on the airship! The mingle log will be posted on the 10th of June and the action will be located in the military airport of Aqures Ixen, any days during the month of June. Cid will be available for them to pester if they so need, but he's quite busy so conversations may be promptly cut short.
The Enterprise is expected to be fixed by September at the earliest, November at the latest. It will open up a whole new world with the Continent of Ruins for the characters to explore, so needless to say the repairs are of utmost importance.
Blitzball World Cup || June 15th - June 29th
Every two years, there are two events with the power to get the entire population of Crystallis up in arms, supporting their favorite teams and people! One of them if the Triple Triad World Competition, but this year it is the other one: the Blitzball World Cup, and it's happening in Aqures Ixen! Blitzball Teams from all over the world compete in order to become world champion and take back home with them the prized Crystal Cup!
Will your characters support their favorite teams? Because this is such a celebration, even people who don't like Blitzball should find something to have fun with, be it Banquets or Balls. A post detailing the mini-events punctuating the World Cup will be posted around the 15th of June.
All Good Things... || June 30th
On the 30th of June, characters will receive a letter from Biggs informing them of what the Empire plans are and where the Imperial Fleet is soon going to be headed to... This letter will mark the start of a series of events that will run throughout July and August, more specifically from mid-July to late August.
THE CALAMITY IS CURRENTLY ACTIVE
Progression Rate: Moderate
Locations to be Lost:
Stiltzkin's Castle | July 05th
The entirety of Old Hera Island will have been consumed by the end of July.
Locations in Danger:
- Imperial City of Hera
- Imperial Prison.
At the current speed, the Calamity will have destroyed the world in approximately One Year and Five Months.
The quest to capture every monster has not been completed yet. Alas, the Monster Arena cannot fully re-open until this quest is fulfilled. The old man in charge and his moogle will not even address the Heroes of Light any more. If asked what's wrong, the Moogle will just point to the list of missing monsters and the old man will say "That's what's wrong." If someone has the misfortune to ask what's wrong a second time, the Moogle will throw a smelly cake to their face.
Capture Every Monster!
One of each existing monster has to be captured, with the exception of Hamsters as defeating them is very hard right now. You do not have to log your character capturing weak monsters, but it is recommended logging it when going against the powerful ones (those with a lot of stars). Just reply here, but please be reasonable (it is doubtful a character could take on a Malboro alone or capture tons of monsters at once).
Reward: 7 000 Gil per captured monster. 2 000 for duplicates.
Reward: Job "Dancer" once one of every monster has been captured.
• June 01st - June 14th
Mognet will function normally.

Mognet will function normally.

The Mognet Office of Flence will go into strike. Any letters sent from or to the Region of Flence will not pass until the end of the strike.
All Heroes of Light have a permit allowing them to board Airships from Shoopuf Airline© for free. Shoopuf Airline is a civilian company handled by Hypello. At this point in time, the following cities can be reached thanks to Shoopuf Airline: Balicea, the County of Flence and Trano Golsaucia. To reach Aerilon, one has to rent a ship at Balicea and access the city by sea. A special airship is dedicated to going from Esdham to Aqures Ixen. All Imperial Territories are off-limits.
As Airships stop by four cities, it takes them approximately 12 hours to go from their departure point to their arrival point. Chocobos are allowed to board airships.

There are a few new things being introduced this month! The Friendly Monsters are there to help new players with their Jobs, and the request system has been revamped, among other things.
• Friendly Monsters / Easy Exp for New Characters
As the game grows, so does the discrepancy between ancient characters and new characters. In the end, it may not be uncommon to see some characters with four or more maxed Jobs, and new characters struggling with the starter Jobs. To remedy to this, we are happy to introduce friendly monsters: they are very special monsters who will not attack the characters, but instead ask for a favor. Should they help the friendly monster, characters will be granted +1 Month for both their equipped Jobs!
There is a limitation to this however: depending for how long you've been in the game, you can get the bonus exp only so often. Furthermore, encounters with friendly monsters always have to be logged for the +1 Month to be taken into account. The friendly monsters can be found here and the system is as follow:
0-6 Months: One friendly monster per month
7-12 months : One friendly monster every two months
13-18 months: One friendly monster every four months
19+ Months: No more friendly monsters
• Revamped System for the Regain and Job Requests
So far, whenever a character asked for a regain or a new Job, Jessie gave them a quest. It's now changed as Jessie will not be the only one to give them a quest. Biggs, Wedge, Cid, O'aka and Artemicion will now all be allowed to give characters a quest instead of Jessie upon requesting a regain or a new Job. What this means practically is that the nature of the quests given will be far more varied than it has been so far.
Missions given by Biggs will have a focus on fighting and military objectives, whereas those by Wedge will be more mundane and intellectual. Cid's requests will always relate in some way to Magitek or Airships and O'aka's quests will have to do with smuggling and tasks generally illicit in nature. Artemicion is a wild card, who knows what he may ask. Jessie will continue to give similar quests to what she has already. Thus, you can now pick which NPC you'd like to be the one to give you a quest, giving you more appropriate quests relative to your character. The Regains and Jobs Request page can be found here!
• Updated NPC Info, Suggestion Page and Navigation
Quite a few NPCs have been introduced in the past months, therefore we have updated the NPC page to better reflect the NPC population of the game at present. We have also added a Suggestion Page, for you to comment or give us suggestions, should you feel the need to!
Lastly, because the game has changed ever since it opened last year and a lot of new features have been added, we have updated the Navigation page! Features such as the Monster Arena, the Guild System, the Doppelgangers and the Suggestion page can now be accessed easilly anytime.
• New Job
A new Job has been unlocked past month, the Pirate Job! Depending on your participation in the event and your contribution to buy it, you may have gotten this new Job with an exp bonus or not. For more details, take a look here.
• Employment Promotions
It is now possible for characters to climb up the social ladder and get promotions for their occupations! For more details, please go to the Employment page.
• Guild System
Characters can now open their own Guilds... So long as they work for it and prove it! For more details, please take a look here!
On the other hand, this summer there will be a game-wide, succession plot heavy events that will affect everyone. The characters will get a few hints as to what awaits them, and more details will be posted in the July/August Information post. In the meantime, should you have any questions regarding this month's happenings or the new features, please feel free to post them here.

0-6 Months: One friendly monster per month
7-12 months : One friendly monster every two months
13-18 months: One friendly monster every four months
19+ Months: No more friendly monsters
 CAIT SITH Location: Region of Aqures Ixen, Calm Plains Cait Sith will ask any Hero of Light he encounters for 2 000 Gils. If they fulfill his request, he will bless them with +1 month of experience on both equipped Jobs. Should they meet him again at a later point, Cait Sith will ask for 5 000 Gils. After that, the price will always double, making him a good starter to raise some levels quickly, but in the long-term an expensive one. If he is attacked, Cait Sith will mewl in pain before summoning two Chimeras and disappearing. |
 MU Location: Region of Trano Golsaucia A friendly rodent, Mu will ask any encountered Hero of Light to light a fire for him, as it always seeks new sources of warmth on the Lost Continent. Upon doing so, he will reward them +1 month of experience on both equipped Jobs. Mu becomes harder to find after it's been met once. If he is attacked, Mu will summon two White Elementals and a Blue Bomb before disappearing. |
 MAGIC POT Location: Region of Balicea The Magic Pot will always ask for an Elixir from anyone it encounters. If an elixir or mega-elixir is used on it, it will thank its benefactors by offering them +1 month of experience for both equipped Jobs. If attacked, the magic pot is next to impossible to harm and it will just stand there. Should characters attack it still, after a while it'll summon three Malboros before disappearing. |
 NYMPH Location: Region of Aerilon The Nymph will ask whomever she encounters to give her a crystal, and sometimes her requests may be for specifics crystals. Should a character fulfill her wish, the Nymph will thank them by granting them +1 month for both of their equipped Jobs. Should she be attacked however, the Nymph will summon four Medusas before disappearing. |
 FLOWERING CACTUAR Location: Region of Esdham, Cactuar Island This very special Cactuar will ask anyone it encounters to water the flower sprouting from its head. Should a character use a water spell or find another way to water the flower, Flowering Cactuar will grant them +1 month for both their equipped Jobs. Should the Flowering Cactuar be attacked, it will summon four regular Cactuars before disappearing. |
 FEATHER CIRCLE Location: Region of Flence This friendly monster will always ask for refined, exquisite food from the Heroes of Light it encounters. Should its wish be granted, it'll offer +1 Month to both equipped Jobs. If attacked or given rotten food, it'll summon three Cockatrice before disappearing. |
 ROBOROVSKI HAMSTER Location: Region of Hera, Island of Aqures Tosf A fluffy, cute and altogether adorable hamster. This one is smaller than the regular Hamsters and will ask anyone meeting him to pet him. Should they be brave enough to do it, the Hamster will reward them with +1 Month of experience for both of their equipped Jobs. Should they be foolish enough to attack him, the Hamster will summon five regular Hamsters before disappearing. |
