Good news! It's going to be 3 dungeons in SB.

The worst part about this change is that for whatever reason there's still only going to be two dungeons in exdr on even patches instead of always having three dungeons from 4.1 on.

Wait, really? I figured the second set of 2 dungeons would keep the previous single in EXDR. That's unfortunate.

It certainly saved a few hours, but if I remember right they adjusted the drop rates fairly quickly? Either way at no time in this game would doing your relic for the sole purpose of getting a head start on the next one be advice anyone should give anyone. Relics are cool if you play a lot and can keep up with the grind or if you do it at your own pace for the glamour/novelty of it all.

I personally have an incomplete BRD relic from 2.0 and an incomplete DRK one from 3.0 and I'll probably never finish either. My goal for 4.0 will be to keep up with it on PLD, but we'll see how the content goes.

One of these days I'll spend the time and Poes to get Excalibur for Paladin, the ARR Zeta relic, but I burned out on the umbrite phase for my anima, and I don't even like the sword you get at the end. I was trying to stay on top of it so I could have a better than 235 weapon, but then I got enough points for a Kinna sword and decided to leave it at that. My entire time in HW was trying to catch up to current content anyway... So I'm excited to start the 4.x relic at the same time as everyone else.

Weirdly enough I think the job I'm most interested in leveling after Red Mage might be Bard. I was never that interested in it before but it looks like it's going to be really fun in Stormblood. I'll look forward to reading Bard players' impressions I guess.

I played Bard in 2.0 then dropped it quick once they added cast times. I prefer ranged DPS but there is something in this game with how it splits client vs server governed actions where casting feels bad. Like I can move then stop moving, start casting and get interrupted because the server didn't get my no longer moving command in time.

I am definitely going back to bard and machinist in 4.0.

It's just gonna be green slime enemies exclusively and every time you get hit you get 20s of non-removable heavy.

Also instance timer is 10 minutes and it takes 11 to run from entrance to exit with heavy.

Now that swimming is in the game, how long until I can get a swimming pool as an outdoor furniture item? Make this happen yoship.

Even if it has to be some goober raised swimming pool instead of an inset pool. And if they can do an inset pool then add outdoor aquariums where I can keep nepto dragons. What I'm saying is I want to turn my house into a water park and I won't rest until my dream is fulfilled.

I thought the anima head start mattered at least a little, since the original drop rates for the crystals was poo poo so it could have taken quite a bit of time to get them?

I went to get my fire crystals in Azys Ila. I started the day with 1 crystal already in my possession. My wife and a goon joined me in fate grinding. About 5 hours later they got their 3 from 0. How many did I earn?

PSA: If you are getting an "unable to complete version check" error when trying to patch the game, the problem is with your DNS server. Using Google's 4.2.2.2 will get the new version of the launcher to download and then you can proceed to patching. (Solution from here.)

Also, no one has mentioned the most important change in the patch notes:

quote:

The algorithm used to calculate GP recovered when changing to a non-gatherer class has been adjusted.

The limit to accumulated GP as a non-gathering class has been removed.

No more having only 400 GP when you switch to a gathering class, so you don't have to waste 2-3 minutes waiting for your GP to tick to full after switching. The GP recovery buff at level 70 is nice too but honestly I think this is more important.

Usually if I do gathering, I'm going to be doing it for an hour or two and set up something to watch on the side and don't really care too much about that tbh.

Definitely a nice change when you're hunting something and you notice the window is up *now* though. Gonna save a couple watered cordials

I'm not mad that Anima won't let me skip step one of the next weapon. I'm mad that Umbrite was such a massive tome sink and continued to be so long after that step ceased being relevant. That was almost as bad as books.

I didn't mind umbrite at all, but I played very slowly through that step. I'm definitely going to be pissed if there's gonna be some exclusively random drop bullshit like atmas I can't skip though. I'm super super glad I had the relic to skip that one, even if the drop rate wasn't bad, because RNG always fucks me hard when it matters even remotely.

Tome sink is right. I just kept accumulating sand currency afterwards that by the time I was done with my first umbrite step, I was already all sanded-out for relics 2 and 3, and I *still* had five sand left over at the end.

Only PSN downloads will work in Rest Mode. Sony let SE do the downloads through ffxivlaunch and that needs to be actually running, not suspended (so if you go to trim a video clip or something it'll also stop the download).

Something tells me that the programmers who put together the swimming and diving system have actual nightmares about people begging them to implement swimming pools. I can only imagine what kind of horrors live inside the source code for it
