As you know, we've been doing Meeble Burrows lately on TheReturners. Last night we had some confusion because we all received 5 more pheromone sacks after we completed the third rank. This was an update from a few days ago.

FINAL FANTASY XI Version Update (Oct. 19)

At the following time, a version update was performed on FINAL FANTASY XI.

[Date & Time]
Oct. 19, 2012 at 0:45 (PDT)

[Affected Service]
- FINAL FANTASY XI

[Update Details]
The following changes have been made to Meeble Burrows:

- When a player receives the “Diligence Grimoire” for the first time from NPC ‘Burrow Investigator’ in Upper Jeuno (I-8), they will also receive a stock of 5 key item “Moblin pheromone sack.”

- If a player has previously received the “Diligence Grimoire,” they can speak to the ‘Burrow Investigator’ or NPC ‘Burrow Researcher’ in Sauromugue Champaign (J-7) to be reimbursed with a stock of 5 “Moblin pheromone sack,” if neither of the NPCs are holding a single sack for the player already and the player does not have a sack in their possession.
* The stock of 5 “Moblin pheromone sack” is reimbursed once only.

Also, from October 16th:

Thank you for your feedback regarding Meeble Burrow entry restrictions. We have some new details about adjustments planned for the future of this content.
First off, our highest priority at the moment is to eliminate the bugs that have been occurring in Meeble Burrows. After, we will be focusing on the following:

•
Moblin pheromone sack stock when starting out
We would like to make changes so that when beginning Meeble Burrows, you receive 5 Moblin pheromone sacks.
This is not only for players who will begin Meeble Burrows down the line, we are looking into methods for addressing players who are already doing this content as well.



•
Increase to the maximum stock of Moblin pheromone sacks
While we are not planning to remove the cap completely, when new expeditions and areas are added we are planning to increase the cap on Moblin pheromone sacks.



•
Shortening of re-issuance time
In the future we are planning to make it so the time when Moblin pheromone sacks are issued can be shortened by certain requirements, such as consuming points or other means.


Also, since the concept of Meeble Burrows was to create content that could be enjoyed and progression can take place in short spurts of time, our focus is not on making adjustments so that clearing the content can be rushed, instead we will be focused on overall improvements so that even those that have not completed this content can benefit.

Not too much time has passed since this content was implemented, but we are closely monitoring the play trends for all players and plan on making adjustments moving forward so that this content is fun and easy to play. If you have any other feedback, we would be happy to hear it!
