Dynamis Adjustments!

 In the May content update, the original Dynamis battlefields of Bastok, San d'Oria, Jeuno, Windurst, Beaucedine, and Xarcabard received major overhauls to its mechanics, allowing for mob weaknesses to be triggered, zones to no longer be reserved, and many other significant changes. For the upcoming version update, similar changes will be made to the Dynamis areas known as the "Dreamland" areas, which introduced job specific accessories and materials to upgrade relic armor. In addition to the changes shared with the other Dynamis zones, some of the new changes players can look forward to seeing are the ability to select whether or not their subjobs will be active at the start, the ability to purchase maps for Dynamis areas, and the ability to enfeeble bosses in the Dreamland areas. These are likely only a few of the changes that players can expect.

Discuss this on the Zam Forums.

From the official Final Fantasy XI forums:

Dynamis is scheduled to receive the following adjustments and refinements in the forthcoming version update:

  • Dynamis-wide Adjustments:
    • Maps
      • Maps will be displayable in Dynamis areas.
      • Dynamis maps may be purchased from the same Goblin NPCs who sell the "Prismatic Hourglass."
    • Treasure
      • The drop rate for all items that enhance relic and relic +1 armor will be unified.
        *This drop rate may be affected by the Treasure Hunter ability, but not by exploiting enemy weaknesses.
  • Adjustments to Dynamis-Valkurm, Dynamis-Buburimu, Dynamis-Qufim, and Dynamis-Tavnazia:
    • The above areas will become non-reservable.
      • For more details on non-reservable Dynamis areas, please refer to the [dev1000] Dynamis Reborn! post regarding changes implemented in the May 10, 2011 version update.
      • With this change, Goblin NPCs will no longer sell the "Timeless Hourglass."
      • Furthermore, the "Perpetual Hourglass" may no longer be used to access Dynamis areas.
    • Support Job Restrictions
      • Players will have the option to enable or disable support job restrictions upon entering Dynamis.
      • Certain items required to enhance relic and relic +1 equipment will only drop if support job restrictions are enabled.
      • Support job restrictions may be disabled at any time by investigating the "Somnial Threshold."
        *Support job restrictions cannot be enabled in this way.
    • Monsters
      • Certain items may be used to enfeeble boss monsters in Dynamis-Valkurm, Dynamis-Buburimu, and Dynamis-Qufim.
    • Treasure
      • Drop locations for relic equipment, relic -1 equipment, accessories, and hydra equipment will remain unchanged.

    *Refinements to the upgrade process for relic and relic +1 equipment are still under consideration. Ingredients, drop rates, and other aspects are subject to change.

My 5 year old Dynamis LS disbanded in disgrace at the first adjustment. Now we we see the original Dynamis will never return.

All them years of hard teamwork gone as now AF2 has become much more devalued. Compared to much better equipment out there at least AF2 could of been worn with pride because of the difficulty and time it took to get it. Its all gone now.
