New Quests in Upcoming Version Update

New Quests! Take a look at the exciting new content scheduled for the upcoming version update. - The Sequel to "Storms of Fate" The quest "Storms of Fate," which brought players into direct conflict with the mighty Bahamut, was introduced in the December 2005 version update. This February, prepare for the next chapter in this epic story with a new quest to challenge the most powerful of adventurers. *The Rise of the Zilart and Chains of Promathia expansion discs must be installed and registered in order to undertake this quest. Certain storyline progression in both expansion discs is also required. - Prime Avatar Battles Up until now, there have been other quests that allowed players to test themselves in battle against the prime avatars. In this new quest, however, the protectors of the protocrystals will be stronger than ever before, requiring adventurers to rethink old strategies. This quest will allow a maximum of 18 people to take the field against these more powerful manifestations of the avatars. Quests that hint at adventures to come, as well as many other additions, await you in the February version update. FINAL FANTASY XI Development Team (02/14/2006)

Whisper of Bahamut

I just read that when he is defeated you get that. So that means he is a Summon Avatar?
Interesting

The new quests should be nice for 75s that've done almost everything until ToA comes out.
Link?

Can anyone provide a link to this "Storms of Fate" quest or how I can find it?

I searched all the quests by area, but was unable to find it.

"X" has used Astral flow
Diabolos uses Omnious Ruin
Ifrit ues Inferno
Shiva uses diamond dust
...ect....

"All the players are dead, if you're still dead within 3 mintures you will be removed from the battlefield"

18 x Raise 3 <Can I have it?>


I see a lot of this happening for about the first two or three weeks of this quest. 8x Astral flow <No thanks!> <death> <You can have this.>
Just waiting

I am just waiting for all the people to staret posting on how bad this is or how this is going to mess this or that up. It seems so far that this update might actualy work for the good of the job it is intended for summoner. Who knows how this will turn out. Lets try and not turn this into a Se slamfest like all the other threads about all the crapy updates se has put out there before this update actualy makes it out as like someone said this might be a new way to get new bloodpacks. Heck who knows they brought in diablo as an avatar who is to say that this new quest in the update that they actualy might be setting up to put Bahamut into the game it's self. I am not tring to get any rumors going that they are as I have heard nothing on it. Heck who knows they might put him in the next expantion with this and Storms of Fate leading to a third quest in the expation or a later update that will lead to an avatar prime fight against Bahamut himself. Who knows what they thinking over at SE but lets hope that it leads to 1) more avatars or 2) just to Bahamut himself lol

Life of a Mnk is not all praying in temples. We beat down the forces of evil and try to protect those who may need us. Remember true power lies within and is not only the strength you have in the muscles of your body but also how you use the knowledge and wisdom you have obtained and learned from your past experiances

just thought your sig could use some fine-tuning

i believe that the pic SE posted has 3-4 avatars on screen at the same time... so the idea that we will have to fight all of them at the same time in an 18man BC is not that farfetched.
Not bad, but

ahhh man I'm still only 58 blm, I've still got to do all the 60 avatars, Fenrir, Diablos, and now this... SWEET!!! My only solice is that I am lvling bst atm, so I'll get 2 lvls on blm, have my ls help me with the avatar fights, finish PM 2-5(and so on) and then lvl to 75 so I can do these. Man, I'm thrilled; good job SE, you earned a "good boy", only 99 more til you make up for 1 "ahh crap"(you've got like 80,000 of those but...). Keep up the good work. Laters.
I'm good

Hey I'm happy just to see a nice flow of updates. Heck its what we pay for right?

There's been rumours of new Blood Pacts an such, various interviews and the like... Wonder if I'm right in thinking that this might just be how you get them.

Hrmm.. sounds interesting. Or, at least, it would be, if I was high enough in levels for it to matter. Oh well.

I'm guessing no more cloisters, tho, if up to 18 people are allowed in. It's kinda cramped.
#REDACTED, Posted: Feb 15 2006 at 7:26 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) i guess SE doesnt want me to solo the avatars anymore.. and i even stopped several months now, cause the shihei wasnt worth the 10k from quest or the 100k from other char. that paid me to beat the prime avatar2 so they can have avatars other than carby to use...

Why do people seem to think that S-E is makng the avatar battles impossible to beat? It doesn't say "we have alterred all the avater battles to make them harder". It says "in this new quest...".
So from my understanding of what is written, there will be a new, harder quest against the same avatar, requiring an alliance.
besides, it DOES say "the sequel to Storm of Fates", which as far as I know means an other quest AFTER the first one, not a quest to replace the old one.

your exactly right. the solo lvl 20 avatar fights will still be there, the 6 man uncapped fights will still be there. the rewards for both will still be there. this is simply just a NEW quest that will give us NEW rewards while fighting all the elemental avatars all at once. and it will be fun as hell :)

it doesnt say anywhere about fighting all the avatars at once.

it says upto 18 people can now fight a super version of the avatar

Nor does it say that you will fight a super version of the avatar... However, if you actually go the article on playonline.com there is a picture with Ramuth, Shiva and Titan together, so you can safely assume you will be fighting more than one at a time

This quest will allow a maximum of 18 people to take the field against these more powerful manifestations of the avatars.

that pic doesnt say who owns those avatars
SE's screenshots are always VERY well placed, but usualy not helpfull of the actaull content they put in the game.

also, wouldnt a fully pimped out smn be the best offence against a avatar? nothing like throwing a pack of ifrits against super shiva.

where did you get the idea that just because that picture has 3 avatars on screen at the same time that you have to fight more than 1? this is most likely just a cut scene, and on top of that i wouldnt expect anyone to survive 3 astral flows from these guys since you can only have 1 bar spell up at a time

mmmmm, can't you have 2 bar- spells up depending on which ones they are? I KNOW that as a RDM I've skilled up my magic and had 2 bar-spell icons on screen at the same time.

only a bar-elemental and a bar-status. you can't have both barfire and barwater otherwise the second one casted will overwrite the first bar spell.
