*** A CLIENT UPDATE IS REQUIRED FOR THIS UPDATE ***
Please note: if you previously disabled your Windower from updating you may now remove that block if you wish.
Hello Supernova!
There are no traditional patch notes for today’s update. Please note you will need to Update your Client, but there is a major change for Supernova users; the addition of Mog Wardrobes 5-8!
Mog Wardrobe Retrieval
Access to Mog Wardrobes 5-8 is simple. Just link your Supernova account to Discord and add an email address (we will not send you emails, email addresses ONLY facilitate account recovery) and *Presto-westo!* you will have 4 shiny new Mog Wardrobes!
Linking a Supernova account to Discord grants access to Mog Wardrobes 5 and 6
Adding an email address to the linked account grants access to Wardrobes 7 and 8
Existing players who have already linked accounts and/or email addresses will not automatically have access to the mog wardrobes. Those players will need to send Supernova Bot a message with the command !reward to activate the wardrobes. It’s that easy!
There’s a giant retail client update incoming today that will change how inventories are handled, and updating to the most up-to-date retail client can mess with private server functionality. As well, updating Windower or Ashita can too. As such, do NOT update your client at all until instructed to do so by Supernova staff, if you want to not have issues with playing here.
Steps below are provided to prevent updates for Windower and Ashita, and these have been graciously provided by Supernova players Sassi, Monka, and Souvlaki.
Please click the Jump Link below to find steps for your appropriate connection method.
This will assume use of the built-in firewall software with Windows. If you have a different firewall application or are playing on a different OS, you will need to perform equivalent steps accordingly.
Open Windows Defender and select Advanced Settings
Select Outbound Rules on the left panel and New Rule on the right-hand side
Select Program and click Next
Browse to your Windower installation directory, select windower.exe and click Next when finished
Select Block the connection and click Next.
Apply the rule universally (to Domain, Public, and Private networks) and click Next
Name the rule something logical, like Block Windower Updates and click Finish
You should now see Block Windower Updates at the top of the list of rules in Windows Defender Firewall. You can close the firewall app and Windower will not update now until you disable the rule.
PREVENTING ASHITA UPDATES
On the desktop, create a text file, and name it “Block Ashita Updates.txt”
Open the file in your preferred text editor and copy the text below into the file:
CD /D "C:\[Your Ashita Installation Directory]"
start Ashita.exe --noupdate
exit
REPLACE [YOUR ASHITA INSTALLATION DIRECTORY] WITH THE DIRECTORY WHERE YOU HAVE ASHITA INSTALLED.
example: I have it installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Ashita V3 so I have replaced it accordingly.
Save the file to the desktop as a batch file.
Close the text editor and run Block Ashita Updates.bat from the desktop. Ashita should now load without updating.
We’re hoping these measures will be temporary as the LSB staff works to bring us all up to snuff with the new retail client and can ensure compatibility. If you run into any issues with these steps, please reach out at the #ffxisupport channel on our Discord server.
Hello, Supernovans and welcome to 2022! Did you know that this year we will celebrate our 9th year in operation? All of the success we’ve had over the years wouldn’t be possible without you, our players, so we want to mark the start of this year with a great update!
This year’s first update is quite a doozy, so make sure to update your clients, sit back, and peruse all the notes for today’s update!

General
Text ID shift fixes (though another round of shifts came basically the following day?)
Spell Damage calculations updated
Spells that do damage are now updated with proper elemental resistances and weaknesses.
Missions and Quests
Again, missions and quests are all undergoing a rewrite upstream, so missions and quests will likely have varying issues. Please continue to use the #reportissue tag in the #ffxisupport channel on Supernova discord after exhausting methods of research (i.e. looking at the wiki for mission/quest order of precedence).
Various fixes in all three versions of the Magicite Missions
COP 6-4 now advances properly
Mob changes
Rafflesias now use Seedspray, which is also now learnable by Blue Mages
Wamouracampas now change stance properly, meaning Blue Mages should be able to learn Cannonball again.

Marids now actually drop Marid Hair.
Job Ability Changes
Benediction now removes Petrification and has a chance to remove Doomed status.
ITEM CHANGES
Shaper’s Shawl now has its correct attributes – DEF 1 and Synthesis skillup rate +25%
Prism Powders, Silent Oils, Rainbow Powders, and Deodorizers are currently set at a 10 minute timer, but this will be reverted to previous values very soon.

QOL FIXES

Coming soon: *new MOTMs for December next week!*
As always, please note issues in the #ffxisupport Supernova Discord chat with the #reportissue tag.
Appraisal System for ??? Assault rewards has also been added.

Additional Notes
Please continue to be patient, quests and missions are continually being converted upstream to a new system and as such, odd behavior for quest and missions should be expected. Supernova staff will help as much as we can to resolve those issues for players – the best way we can know about them is for player to report the issues in our discord channel #ffxisupport with the hashtag #reportissue. Thank you!
Here are the major changes affecting Supernova in particular this week:
General
Weapons and Armor for levels higher than 75 have been removed from the Auction House.

Please be advised you will need to Update the Client with this update. Our new client version is 30210706_0.
Missions and quests
More quests and missions are being converted to the new upstream code quest and mission system, and there are too many to list below so as always, if you run into issues, please report those in the #ffxisupport channel on our Discord.
