CatseyeXI Changes

  • All DMG+ augments (obtained via the first 3 Trial of the Magians) also add the same amount of Resist "Death".
    • For example, DMG+2 is now DMG/Resist "Death"+2
  • Mythic weapons give cumulative Aftermath effects for TP tiers
    • Mythic weapon TP tiers are based on 1.5x the TP when the weapon skill is used
      • For example, you will receive the Aftermath level 3 effect for a 2000 TP weapon skill
  • Aftermath will now overwrite itself at the same tier if doing so would extend its duration.

Laevateinn

Nagi

  • Updated: Magic Accuracy +20 (↑+10), Enmity +20 (↑+10), Augments Mijin Gakure (Mijin Gakure grants Reraise 3 and deals extra damage which is less dependent on current HP).

Tupsimati

Vajra

Creation

Note: Rune Fencer and Geomancer have Mythic Weapon equivalents in the form of Ergon Weapons

While Nyzul Isle Investigation is completable on LSB, much of the other necessary content for Mythic Weapons is not implemented. Owing to this, there is an improvised quest line to get your weapon.

Starting:

Acquiring The Base Weapon

To receive your base weapon you'll need to speak to Nonoroon, Aht Urhgan Whitegate (I-11) while on your main job and in possession of at least 6,000 Zeni (ZNM) points.

  • He will ask you for 5 Imp. Gold Piece icon.png Imperial Gold Pieces. Upon trading, Nonoroon will deduct the zeni points from your currencies.
    • Note: Be sure you are on The job that you want the base weapon for!

Obtaining Zeni

Just as in retail, players must take photographs of monsters in order to satisfy Sanraku's Def Leppard fueled desires.

  • Unlike in retail, there is no bonus multiplier. When you take a picture it is simply a random amount of Zeni rewarded, no matter the target, or distance.
  • A good technique is to find a low level mob outside any of the starting nations, cast Dia once, then just snap away as it stays in front of you.

See Zandjarl at (F-7) in The Colosseum and trade them Imp. Gold Piece icon.png Imperial Gold Pieces to receive Jettons. You then may purchase Soul Trappers and Soul Plates with Jettons. The main door to The Colosseum does not work, you must enter via The Pit entrance at K11.

Trade Sanraku at (E-8) in Aht Urhgan Whitegate your successful Soul Plate icon.png Soul Plate in exchange for Zeni.

Achieving Mercenary Captain Rank

Since assaults are not fully implemented, your Assault rank on CatsEyeXI will be directly connected to your mission progress, plus a small currency cost, see CEXI ToAU missions for more information.

  • Total Imperial currency needed will be 60 Bronze, 60 Silver, 60 Mithril, and 30 Gold to achieve Captain.

Collecting Alexandrite

Alexandrite icon.png Alexandrite and Ctn. Purse (Alx.) icon.png Alexandrite Purses now drop from Einherjar and from Beastmen around Aht Urghan.

Paparoon, Nashmau (G-7) has been coded to store your Alexandrite.

  • He will not accept bags or pouches, break everything down to alexandrite first.

A total of 30,000 Alexandrite is required for your mythic weapon. Once the required amount has been traded, Paparoon will deduct 30,000 Alexandrite from your stored balance, you'll be rewarded a Cat's Eye icon.png Cat's Eye, and you'll be sent on a journey to acquire some Zeni NM (ZNM) drops.

  • He will not give you a Cat's Eye until you achieve Mercenary Captain rank, but will still store up to 29,999 Alexandrite.

Required Items

For the second phase of the quest, you will be required to procure the items below. You can obtain them in any order.

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

HNM Trophies

CatsEyeXI offers a unique alternative for players to obtain the three HNM-King trophies. Alongside their usual drop from their respective HNM's, players may also force-pop these three HNMs with items obtained from ISNM's!

  • Fang of Stheno (Medusa pop)
  • Dawnservant Drum (Gulool Ja Ja pop)
  • Mubtakir Naphtha (Gurfurlur pop)

Pop items are traded to a new pedestal in each HNM's lair. Force-spawned HNMs do not affect the normal HNM timers and are guaranteed to drop a EX (Non-tradable) trophy!

ISNM

  • CatsEyeXI ISNM's all have a bad luck protection system built in.
    • At first, the chance to get a pop item is very low: 1/80 per run (1.25%), however each subsequent run increases the chance at obtaining an item, 1/79, 1/78... until you get a drop, at which point the system resets back to 1/80.


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 once per real-life day for a Confidential (Lv60 cap) or Secret (Lv75 cap) Imperial Order.
The nearby Qiqirn 'Shasharoon' can sell you the other order the same real-life day, but the cost for a second order is steep... getting both imperial orders in a single day will cost you 20,000 Imperial Standing total!


Confidential Imperial order (Lv.60)

Zone Name Members Pop Item
Talacca Cove Call to Arms 6 Fang of Stheno (Medusa)
Navukgo Execution Chamber Tough Nut to Crack 6 Mubtakir Naphtha (Gulool Ja Ja)
Jade Sepulcher Making a Mockery 6 Dawnservant Drum (Gurfurlur)

Secret Imperial order (Lv.75)

Zone Name Members Pop Item
Talacca Cove Compliments to the Chef 6 Fang of Stheno (Medusa)
Navukgo Execution Chamber Happy Caster 6 Mubtakir Naphtha (Gulool Ja Ja)
Jade Sepulcher Shadows of the Mind 6 Dawnservant Drum (Gurfurlur)


Once the above items have been gathered, you will need to trade them to the Seaprince's Tombstone in Caedarva Mire (E-10). You will finally be asked to trade your base weapon to complete building your weapon.

  • Trade the base weapon you obtained in the first step and this will complete your Mythic. Congratulations!

Exchanging a Mythic Weapon

In the event that a Mythic Weapon is not what one hoped for, players may exchange one for another:

  • Trade your Mythic Weapon to the Seaprince's Tombstone in Caedarva Mire (E-10)
  • Visit Nonoroon at Aht Urhgan Whitegate (I-11) on the job you want the new mythic weapon for.
    • You must have at least 6000 Zeni, and be level 75.
  • After speaking with Nonoroon, trade him 5 Imp. Gold Piece icon.png Imperial Gold Pieces, and he will give you a new base weapon.
  • You will be told to go to Paparoon (Nashmau) deduct 10,000 Alexandrite icon.png Alexandrite from your balance.
    • Once this condition has been met you will be instructed to return to the Seaprince's Tombstone with the new base weapon to collect your reward.
