    [patch1.19] Patch 1.19 Notes

      Once initiated into a Grand Company, players will earn the rank of Private Third Class.
      MaelstromOrder of the Twin AdderImmortal Flames
      Storm Private Third ClassSerpent Private Third ClassFlame Private Third Class
      At this time, Private Third Class is the only rank available to adventurers. However, in the coming months, the opportunity to move up in a company's ranks will be made available. Upon pledging allegiance to a Grand Company, a new salute emote (/gcsalute) specific to that company will be unlocked.
      * The text command is common for all Grand Companies.


      * Players may only pledge their allegiance to a single Grand Company. Once they have done so, players may not do the following:
      • Leave their current company or join another.
      • Accept another company's quests.
      • Use seals earned while a recruit of another company.

    • [dev1138] Company leves have been introduced.

      Rewards for company leves will consist primarily of company seals.
      Company leves are not issued by the Adventurers' Guild, but by company officers stationed at the locations listed in the chart below. Company leves will be similar to Battlecraft Leves in nature, with the exception that they can be issued on location and commenced immediately. As with guildleves, accepting company leves will consume players' leve allowances.

      DalvagEastern Thanalan (42,28), Halatali
      Company leves are all solo missions, and therefore cannot be linked or shared.
    • [dev1139] The following changes have been made to behest:
      • The following changes have been made to how players are allowed to participate in consecutive behest missions:
        If the behest a player participates in is a success, then that player must wait two minutes from the start of recruitment for the next behest before being able to sign up. If the behest a player participates in fails, then that player must wait one minute from the start of recruitment for the next behest before being able to sign up.
      • The level of enemies has been adjusted as follows:
        Enemy level will be the same as suggested level. However, the final group of enemies will be one level higher. If the party's mean level is higher than that suggested, enemy level will be raised accordingly.
        In the case of light parties, enemy level will rise by 1.
        In the case of full parties, enemy level will rise by 4.
        * The increase in enemy level is limited to 9 above suggested level.
    • [dev1140] The following changes and additions have been made to Supply & Provisioning Missions.
      • Supply and Provisioning missions are now available for those adventurers who have earned the Grand Company rank of Private Third Class or higher.
        These missions are similar to the guild tasks offered by the Adventurers' Guild, but reward company seals. The total number of items requested in these missions differs between items and can be confirmed by speaking with the mission officers stationed in Grand Company headquarters. In the event that the quota for a particular item is filled, players may find a new item added to the list.

      • An explanation mark will no longer appear over the head of NPCs offering guild tasks.
    • [dev1141] The following changes have been made to instanced raids:
      • Party size regulations have been adjusted.

        * Instanced raid battle balance has not been adjusted.
      • When players within an instanced raid are forced to log out due to a lost connection, they will now respawn near their party members upon logging back in.
        (Only if one or more party members remain in the instanced area.)

    • [dev1080] Two new battles with the primal Ifrit have been added.
      Players that have completed the proper introductory quests will be granted access to an instanced area known as the Bowl of Embers where they can engage in epic battles with the Lord of the Inferno. Ifrit battles are party-based and feature rare weapons and armor as rewards.

      Those who defeat Ifrit in the first battle (Bowl of Embers) with a party formed exclusively of members from their own Grand Company will earn greater rewards.

      Furthermore, players in possession of the quest item "Inferno Lamp" are eligible for greater rewards for defeating Ifrit in the Bowl of Embers (Hard).
      A treasure chest will appear upon defeating Ifrit in "Bowl of Embers (Hard)."
      However, only players in possession of the Inferno Lamp quest item will be eligible to obtain the loot contained within.

    • [dev1137] Caravan security missions have been introduced.


      Caravan security is battle-related content available to Grand Company members who have achieved the rank of Private Third Class or higher. Security involves escorting three pack chocbos from one location to another, fending off any creatures or bandits who try and harm the birds and steal their cargo. Chocobo security duty is repeatable and rewards company seals upon successful completion. Caravan security duty can be undertaken by speaking to company NPCs stationed in the following aetheryte camps:

      Grand CompanyAetheryte CampNPC
      The MaelstromCamp BloodshoreFriont
      The Order of the Twin AdderCamp TranquilMarquaile
      The Immortal FlamesCamp HorizonMourelz
      <Details>
      • Fend off all enemies that attempt to assault the caravan. Rewards are calculated by the total number of cargo packs remaining when the caravan reaches its final destination. No reward will be granted if the caravan fails to arrive on time.
      • The caravan will stop when under assault, and resume its progress only after all nearby threats have been eliminated.
      • If a chocobo incurs too much damage, it will bolt, causing it to lose one of its packs.
      • Security duty can be abandoned at any time, forefeiting all rewards.
      <How to Participate>
      1. Speak to the NPC representing your Grand Company posted at one of the aetheryte camps listed above to sign up.
        The chocobos will squawk and the NPC will perform a salute to signal that recruitment is open.

      2. Make your way to the caravan on standby near camp.
        The NPC will apprise you of its exact location. Alternately, you may also refer to your minimap.

      3. After a short while, the caravan will begin its march, and your duty will commence.
        The time till commencement is shortened in the event that all escort places are filled.

      4. March with the caravan, all the while staying on constant guard for enemies.
        Enemies will set upon the caravan from various directions and from positions of ambush. There is no telling when they will strike.
        To better defend the caravan, players are urged to form strategies and define roles ahead of time.

      5. The caravan will halt its march should enemies come near.
        Swiftly dispatch all threats to the caravan and ensure that the chocobos do not come to harm.

      6. Enemies will attempt to attack chocobos rather than their escorts.
        Chocobos that incur too much damage will flee from the caravan.

      7. Players can coax chocobos back to the caravan by talking to and healing them.
        Giving chocobos their favorite food is an effective way to recover their health.

      8. During escort duty, a display that shows information such as distance to destination, chocobo health, and remaining time will appear. Be sure to keep a close eye on these details.


      9. Your duty will end in failure if time runs out.
        It is recommended that players keep their chocobos in sound health, as retrieving a spooked bird consumes a considerable amount of time.

      10. Chocobos will drop a pack of cargo each time they flee.
        Lost cargo will lead to reduced rewards, so do all you can to prevent the chocobos from fleeing.


      11. Your duty will be deemed a success if the caravan arrive at its destination on time. However, rewards are issued even in the event of failure.
        Speak to the NPC to receive a reward commensurate with your performance.

    • [dev1142] Locked treasure chests can now be found in the following areas:
      • Shposhae
      • U'Ghamaro Mines
      • Zahar'ak
      These chests can only be opened if a player possesses the proper key.
      Keys can only be used once, but chests will be refilled after every emptying. Keys can be obtained in several different ways, such as by defeating enemies or fulfilling certain objectives on quests. Only one type of each key can be carried at a time. Treasure chest content varies by lock type, with chests locked using rare keys often containing the best loot.

    • [dev1143] A new non-instanced dungeon geared for low-level players has been added.


      Dungeon NameLocationRecommended Party
      ShposhaeLower La Noscea (28,33)Level 15 parties of 4-8
      Players who go to Shposhae for the quest "Call of Booty" will experience an event. However, the quest is not a requirement for entering the dungeon.

    • [dev1028][dev1136] Two new beast tribe strongholds have been added.
      These strongholds are situated in strategic locations in existing areas and are fortified with heavy gates which require the slaying of gatekeepers to open. Notorious monsters are said to lurk deep within the hearts of these strongholds.


      NameLocationRecommended Party
      U'Ghamaro MinesUpper La Noscea (26,2)Level 45 parties of 8
      Zahar'akSouthern Thanalan (48,40)Level 45 parties of 8
      Players who go to either the U'Ghamaro Mines or Zahar'ak for the quests "Kobold and the Beautiful" and "When Alchemists Cry" respectively will experience an event. However, the quests are not requirements for entering the dungeons.
    • [dev1082] Airship transport between the three city-states of Limsa Lominsa, Ul'dah, and Gridania is now available.


      Airship transport is a convenient, low-cost alternative to anima-based transportation.
      Airships can be accessed via airship landings found in the following locations:


      <Landings>
      • Limsa Lominsa
        Via the Crow's Lift on both upper and lower deck (7,5). Select airship landing when prompted.



      • Gridania
        Adventurers' Guild (6,6)



      • Ul’dah
        Via the Wellhead Lift on either the Merchant or Hustings Strip (6,4). Select airship landing when prompted.

      <Fee>
      Airship fees are based on a player's highest class level.

    • [dev1082] Rental and personal chocobos have been introduced, allowing for swift, free movement out in the field. Personal chocobos can be called at the player's leisure, while rental chocobos can be leased for a set duration for a payment in gil. While both allow for movement considerably faster than walking, personal chocobos are faster than their rental counterparts.
      Personal Chocobos
      • Obtaining a Personal Chocobo
        Players who meet the following conditions will receive their very own chocobos which can be called at any time:
        1. Have pledged sole allegiance to one of the three Grand Companies and attained the rank of Private Third Class.
        2. Have purchased a chocobo issuance from a Grand Company quartermaster for 3,000 company seals.


        3. Have presented the issuance to the chocobo stablemaster located in the city-state of your allegiance and received a chocobo whistle.
        • Isleen - Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (7,5)


        • Fruhdhem - Gridania (6,5)


        • Rururaji - Ul'dah Merchant Strip (6,3)

        Players will be granted the opportunity to name their new chocobo.
        * Please note that all chocobos issued by the Grand Companies are male, and will be referred to as such by NPCs, even if given names such as Sparkles, Misty, Honeydew, and Femalechocbo. (Names will have a 10-character limit.)
      • Summoning a Personal Chocobo
        After obtaining a whistle from the stablemaster, players can click on the chocobo icon located in the micro menu* to summon their chocobo.
        * The default location of the micro menu is in the lower right-hand corner of the screen.


        Chocobos cannot be summoned at the following times:
        • While a player is within city walls
        • While a player is engaged by an enemy
        * The chocobo whistle has no recast timer.

      Rental Chocobos
      • Renting a Chocobo
        Chocobos can be rented by speaking to the following NPCs.
        • Isleen - Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (7,5)
        • Fruhdhem - Gridania (6,5)
        • Rururaji - Ul'dah Merchant Strip (6,3)
        After paying the fee, players will be placed on chocoback and transported outside the city gates.
        Once outside, players can control their rental steeds as they would their PCs, using the movement keys on their keyboard or the analog stick on their gamepad.

        Conditions Player must have at least one class raised to level 10 or above
        Rental Fee800 gil
        Rental Period 10 minutes (Earth time)

      Riding
      <Both Personal and Rental Chocobos>
      • Players will be detected by enemies as they would if they were on foot.
      • If attacked while on chocoback, players will sustain less damage than they would if on foot.
      • If attacked from behind while on chocoback, there is a chance that the blow will cause a player's chocobo to lose speed.
      • If a chocobo takes too much damage, he will buck his rider and escape back to his stables.
      • Players can dismount their chocobos at any time by clicking on the chocobo icon located in the micro menu.
      • The following actions cannot be executed while on chocoback:
        attacks, class actions, magic casting, gathering, synthesis, item repairs, item usage, speaking with NPCs, attuning to aetheryte
      • There are some locations into which a chocobo will refuse to enter, such as city-states and dungeons.
      <Rental Chocobos>
      • The rental contract is nullified the moment a player dismounts, regardless of how much time is left on the agreement.
      • Once the rental period has expired, the chocobo will buck his rider and return to his stables.
    • [dev1134] The following changes and additions have been made to guildleves:
      • The manner of accepting levequests has changed significantly.
        Every 12 hours (Earth time) players will earn four "leve allowances" (up to a maximum of 99) which can be exchanged for guildleves at Adventurers' Guilds. After patch 1.19 is implemented, players can receive their initial allocation of 8 leves by visiting the Adventurers' Guild, after which time their leve allowance will accumulate at the abovementioned rate.
        * Leve allowances are required to accept all types of leves, including regional, local, faction, and the newly added company leves.
        * While players can stock up to 99 leve allowances, they may still only accept 8 local and 8 regional levequests at any one time.


      • Leve list updates will now occur at the following times:
        • When players are granted additional leve allowances.
        • When players complete a levequest.
        • When players fail a levequest.
        The list of available leves is updated upon the completion of previously issued leves.

      • Guildleve exchanging has been abolished.
        Bonuses granted from leve exchange will be phased out, to be replaced by a new "leve history evaluation" system scheduled for patch 1.19a.
        * Players will still be able to return unwanted guildleves to the Adventurers' Guild if they have reached the 8-leve limit.

      • The level of enemies appearing in regional levequests has been adjusted.
        Enemy level will be the same as suggested level if Solo (Difficulty: ☆) is selected, and will rise in increments of three for each increase in difficulty.

      • A Levequest History page has been added to player journals.
        When players complete a levequest and collect their reward, the quest will be removed from the leve list and added to Levequest History.
        * Only the most recent 8 leves will be listed.


      • Failed levequests can be reattemped for the cost of one leve allowance.
        A reattempt can be carried out from a player's journal.

      • An "abandon" option has been added to levequest details found in player journals.
        Levequests can now be abandoned at any time, regardless of completion status.


      • In conjunction with the recipe overhaul (mentioned later in these notes), the requested items and promised rewards for several local levequests have been adjusted.
        * As a result of the aforementioned change, players may find some levequests accepted before the patch impossible to complete after the patch goes live. Please abandon or return these quests.

      • The fishing spot for the local levequest "Fishing Black Brush" has been changed.

      • Gear accepted for exchange can now be directly obtained from treasure chests for the following faction leves:
        • Operation: Pulling Fangs
        • Operation: Shuteye
        • Wanted: Mammoth and Master
    * The following have been postponed to patch 1.19a:
    • Beast tribe stronghold Natalan
    • Leve History Evaluation

    Battle
    • [dev1072][dev1073] Physical level and attribute/elemental point allotment have been abolished.
      Attribute values will now be based on a player's current level and will increase automatically when a new level is attained. Player character growth will be affected in the following ways:
      • The growth curve has been revised, allowing for larger increases in attribute values upon attaining a new level.
      • Attributes will now have a more pronounced effect on a player's performance.
      • The impact of attributes will decrease as players rise in level; however, the benefits granted by gear will be increased.
      • Player accuracy will be increased slightly.
      • Race-based differences will be limited to the starting attributes.
      • Maximum HP will be relatively low during the early stages, but will increase at a higher rate than previously from around level 35.
      The following changes have been made to in-game terminology:
      • Skill points → Experience points
      • Rank → Level
      The action Spiritbind has been renamed Spiritsong to avoid confusion.

      The following class abbreviations have been changed:
      • GLD → GSM
      • CON → CNJ
      • TAN → LTW
      * A system whereby players can voluntarily allocate attribute points to each class will be implemented in patch 1.20 or later, along with class balance adjustments.
    • [dev1132] Several adjustments have been made to overall experience point rewards and the current party bonus algorithm.
      The following are used to calculate experience point rewards:
      1. Level-based EXP
        The general rule for calculating experience point awards is to divide the amount of experience needed to level up by the number of encounters the current level* is intended to last. The amount of EXP yielded increases proportional to character level.
        * The level used in this calculation is either the player's or the enemy's, whichever is lower.
      2. Difference Between Player and Enemy Levels
        Higher level enemies will yield more EXP, while lower level enemies will yield less. This revision will not greatly affect the amount of EXP obtainable. However, a cap will be imposed upon the bonus awarded to players for defeating higher level enemies.
      3. Party Size
        Each additional member in the party reduces the amount of experience points yielded. Although the reduction is greater than before, it will be offset by the bonuses granted by EXP chains and linking.
      4. Enemy Type
        As the variance in strength between enemies has been reduced (see below), enemy type will not influence EXP yield.
        * The exception to the above is those enemies deemed extremely weak or strong.
      5. Link Bonus (see below)
        Experience point bonuses are now rewarded for defeating enemies which appear together with the initial target.
      6. EXP Chain (see below)
        Defeating enemies in quick succession will now earn players experience point bonuses.
      7. Guardian's Aspect
        Invoking Guardian's Aspect when activating a levequest will grant players an experience point bonus upon quest completion.
      8. Gear
        There are several pieces of low-level gear which grant their wearers experience point bonuses.
    • [dev1144] Most damage algorithms have been renewed in conjunction with the abolition of physical levels and the automation of character attributes.
      These changes serve to streamline the influence of damage algorithms upon battle attribute calculations.
    • [dev1027] Enemy attributes have been adjusted.
      Certain varieties of enemies who were disproportionately strong for their level have been adjusted in order to make an enemy's level a more accurate indication of it's strength. Based on this revision, enemy characteristics such as strong attack or defense will be kept to within the bounds of level.
    • [dev1144] The damage bonus uniformly granted to attacks dealt from the back and side of an enemy has been abolished.
      Only certain monsters will exhibit vulnerability to attacks from specific directions and will take additional damage in such instances. This change does not affect the accuracy bonus currently in place for attacks dealt under the same conditions.
    • [dev1145] Several new enemies have been introduced.


    • [dev1031] Several new notorious monsters have been introduced.

    • [dev1195] The following enemies have had 100 Needles added to their arsenal.
      Cactuar / Cochineal Cactuar
    • [dev1192] Enemies no longer attack players immediately upon contact, regardless of how it detects.

    • [dev1026] The system of claiming enemies has been overhauled.
      Until now, only players who claimed a target would receive experience points, loot, and fulfill quest objectives for defeating it. Also, the system limited a party to laying claim to only a single target at a time. This meant that if players attempted to engage and defeat groups of enemies, they would not receive the benefits of doing so. In order to address these issues and a number of others, a new claiming system has been implemented.
      • All enemies can be attacked regardless of claim.* However, only the player or party that first engaged the enemy will earn the rewards.
        * Content-specific enemies such as those appearing in levequests and behest can be engaged only by participating players.
        Engaging one enemy among an enemy group gives you claim over the entire group.

      • The color of an enemy's name indicates your eligibility for rewards upon defeating it.

        Claimed by you/your party
        Claimed by another party
        Linked but unclaimed
        Claim over an enemy becomes invalid if:
        • All members of the party holding the claim are KO'd.
        • The enemy disengages and returns to its territory.
      The following changes have been made in conjunction with revisions to the claiming system:
      • Players who are incurring enmity will be unable to recover HP and MP at an aetheryte.
      • It is possible to use the Party function during battle.
        * Restrictions may be imposed for content such as instanced raids.
      • Battle music will now play as soon as an enemy is engaged.
      • Defeating an enemy whose HP was reduced will yield full EXP.
    • [dev1131] An enemy linking system has been implemented.
      The system allows an enemy to call for help based on the strength of the party that engaged it. Enemies will link when:
      • An enemy detects and attacks the player.
      • The player engages an enemy.
        * In principle, enemies will call for help only once. Newly arrived enemies will not call for further help.
        * Enemies belonging to a group will not call for help, nor will they go to the aid of others.
      The linking process occurs in the following manner:
      • The number of reinforcing enemies is based on the difference in strength between the enemy and the player it has engaged.
      • Enemies in the area will answer the call for help regardless of species, beginning with those nearest.
        * Certain powerful enemies do not link.
        * Enemies must be within a certain distance to link.
    • [dev1132] New EXP bonuses have been implemented.
      • Link Bonus
        Link bonuses are granted based on how many enemies have linked. Each additional linked enemy increases the amount of EXP you will receive.

        Linked EnemiesEXP Bonus
        1+25%
        2+50%
        3+75%
        4 or more+100%

      • EXP Chain
        An EXP Chain occurs when players consecutively defeat enemies of equal or higher level than themselves within a specific amount of time. As the chain increases, so too will the EXP bonus. However, the time limit* between kills will also shorten.
        * The time allotted for slaying the next foe in order to continue the chain.

        Chain NumberTime LimitEXP Bonus
        1100+20%
        280+25%
        360+30%
        420+40%
        5 or more10+50%

    • [dev1148] The display for when EXP is obtained has been adjusted as follows:
      • The amount of EXP earned is now shown as a pop-up graphic.
      • The extent of bonuses granted by EXP chains and Guardian's Aspect is now indicated in the log.

    • [dev1133] Battle Regimens have been temoprarily suspended.
      We are currently in the process of rebuilding the framework of the battle system, which involves large-scale revisions to the enemy claiming and linking systems as well as damage calculations. Unfortunately, these changes will render Battle Regimens unusable, and so we have decided to suspend their use in 1.19. We aim to have a new and optimized regimen system in place after the adjustments to battle classes have been completed alongside the launch of the job system.
      * The reimplementation schedule is yet to be determined.

      In conjunction with this suspension, the following minor changes have been made:
      • The Battle Regimen toggle button on the action bar has been removed.
      • Battle Regimen has been removed from keyboard settings on the Configurations menu.
    • [dev1149] Players will no longer be able to select a new action command before the current action has been executed.

    • [dev1150] Upon being raised, players will be unable to input a command for a duration of seven seconds.

    • [dev1032] The action "Guard" has been abolished.
      Blocking with a shield is automated, with the block rate determined by a number of factors, including shield stats.

    • [dev1032] The effect of enhanced attack power (granted by actions such as Ferocity) no longer stack with element-based actions such as Red Lotus.

    • [dev1032] The following actions have been adjusted:

      • All magic spells
      • Actions which can be used on self or other party members

    • [dev1151] The following changes have been made to passive mode HP and MP recovery:

        The recovery amount will reset under the following conditions:
        • The player is attacked
        • The player moves or performs an action
    • [dev1152] Auto-attack motions have been adjusted for the pugilist, marauder, and lancer classes.

      Weathered Coif (Grey) / Weathered Beret (Beige) / Weathered Spectacles / Weathered Sun Hat / Weathered Beach Hat (Blue) / Weathered Doublet (Yellow) / Weathered Robe / Weathered Dalmatica / Weathered Dalmatica (Grey) / Weathered Gown (Grey) / Weathered Gown (Beige) / Weathered Shirt / Weathered Jerkin (Brown) / Weathered Doublet Vest (Grey) / Weathered Halfrobe (Beige) / Weathered Slops (Brown) / Weathered Chausses (Grey) / Weathered Slops (Beige) / Weathered Chausses / Weathered Chausses (Grey) / Weathered Culottes (Grey) / Weathered Sarouel (Brown) / Weathered Tights / Weathered Smithy's Gloves / Weathered Halfgloves / Weathered Work Gloves / Weathered Fingerless Gloves / Weathered Thighboots / Weathered Thighboots (Grey) / Weathered Pattens / Weathered Pattens (Grey) / Weathered Workboots (Brown) / Weathered Workboots / Weathered Shoes / Weathered Tool Belt / Weathered Survival Belt / Weathered Field Belt

    • [dev1158] The conditions under which the effect of Quick (granted by Hermes' Shoes) wears off have been revised.
      Previously, the effect would wear off if the player is attacked. Now, however, it will end the instant the player incurs enmity.

    • [dev1159] When examining equipment in the inventory or gear displays, the attribute differences between your currently equipped gear and that being viewed will be shown. Superior and inferior values will be displayed in green and red respectively.

    • [dev1017] The Materia System has been implemented.
      Certain gear whose spiritbond value has been raised to 100% through use can be converted into materia. Materia can then be attached to meldable gear, thus enhancing its attributes.

      Players may step into the world of materia by undertaking the quest "Risky Business" offered by the the NPC Aistan, posted in Ul'dah Merchant Strip (6,3). This quest is available to all players level 18 and above.
      * Completion of this quest is not a prerequisite for undertaking other materia-related quests.

      <Spiritbond>
      A player's spiritbond with an item increases through use. Specifically, spiritbond increases as players battle, gather, or craft while equipped with the item in question.
      An item's current spiritbond value can be examined via the inventory display.
      * Trading an item or putting it up on the bazaar resets any spiritbond accumulated on it.

      The following types of items do not possess spiritbond:
      Smallclothes / Pack and Pouch Items (Arrows, Bait, and Lures)
      <Creating Materia>
      Gear that is converted into materia is permanently lost. However, the resulting materia can be used to enhance other items. Creating materia requires the “materia assimilator” key item, an apparatus which can be obtained via the quest "Forging the Spirit" offered by the NPC Swynbroes, located in central Thanalan (29,20). The quest is available to all players level 18 and above.

      The following types of items cannot be converted into materia:
      Smallclothes / Pack and Pouch Items (Arrows, Bait, and Lures)
      * In addition to the above, certain other gear cannot be converted into materia. Players who possess the materia assimilator will see an icon to the right of the spiritbond gauge for items that can be made into materia.

      <Tiers of Materia>
      The materia that is produced varies based on factors such as gear level, weapon type, armor part, and so forth. Further, the same item will not always yield the exact same materia; players can expect stones of varying potency offering different attribute enhancements to result under the same conditions.

      Materia comes in four tiers of potency, indicated via Roman numerals (I – IV).
      Sample Materia
      • Intelligence: Increases intelligence
      • Ironman's Will: Increases strength and vitality
      • Fire: Increases the power of fire-based attacks
      • Sagacious Aim: Increases magic critical hit rate
      * Materia of the same name may possess different attributes.
      * The same gear does not always necessarily convert into the same materia.



      * Players can freely trade and sell materia.
      * At present, the Item Search function does not accommodate the changing internal values of items. Due to this, the lowest values for a certain tier of materia will be shown. We are currently examining ways of incorporating these variables into Item Search, and ask for your patience in the meantime.


      <Catalysts>
      Catalyst items (such as carbonized matter, germinated matter, and calcified matter) can be gathered by Disciples of the Land for whom the Fingerprints of the Gods ability is active. When the ability is triggered during gathering, aiming at the correct spot will guarantee you a chance of obtaining a catalyst. Fingerprints of the Gods can be learned via the quest "Joining the Spirit" offered to Disciples of the Land level 18 and above. To undertake the quest, speak to the NPC Kokosamu located in central Thanalan (29,20).
      * Upon receiving the quest, an area marker will appear on your journal's map. Players should then use an action such as Lay of the Land, Arbor Call, and Gulleye to locate a suitable grade 1 gathering point. Please note, however, that a gathering point yielding catalysts may not necessarily exist within the marked area.

      Catalysts can be obtained via gathering. The type yielded varies depending on the gathering point.

      CatalystGathering PointLocation
      Carbonized MatterMiningHorizon's Edge
      Petrified MatterMiningNophica's Wells
      Fossilized MatterMiningDragonhead

      Decayed MatterLoggingHumblehearth
      Decomposed MatterLoggingIron Lake
      Liquefied MatterLoggingHalatali
      Calcified MatterFishingBloodshore
      Cultured MatterFishingCedarwood
      Ossified MatterFishingBald Knoll
      Cretified MatterFishingNine Ivies

      <Attaching Materia>
      By attaching materia to gear, it is possible to enhance the properties of the host item. Attaching materia requires the "materia melder" key item, an apparatus which can be obtained via the quest "Waking the Spirit" available to Disciples of the Hand (excluding culinarians and alchemists) level 18 and above. To undertake the quest, speak to the NPC F'hobhas located in central Thanalan (29, 20).
      • Materia can be attached only by Disciples of the Hand who fulfill the class requirement for crafting/repairing the host item.
      • The level of this class must be higher than the level requirement to equip the item.
      • The process requires the following ingredients:
        1. The host item
        2. Materia that meets the host item's level requirements
        3. Catalyst that is compatible with the material
      The following types of items cannot have materia affixed to them:
      Accessories / Smallclothes / Pack and Pouch Items (Arrows, Bait, and Lures)
      * In addition to the above, certain other gear cannot host materia.


      * It is possible to have others attach materia on your behalf.
      * Those who do not fulfill the requirements for equipping gear will not benefit from the effects of materia attached to it.
      * At present, the Item Search function does not accommodate the changing internal values of items. Due to this, it is not possible to identify materia-imbued items. We are currently examining ways of incorporating these variables into Item Search, and ask for your patience in the meantime.
      <Augmented Materia Melder>
      After attaching materia a specific number of times, players will become eligible to obtain the more advanced "augmented materia melder," which allows the attachment of multiple pieces of materia per item. To exchange your regular melder for the augmented version, simiply speak to the NPC Mutamix located in central Thanalan (29,20).


      Players can never fail to attach the first piece of materia. However, the success rate progressively decreases with each subsequent piece of materia. A failed attempt to attach materia will result in the loss of all items involved in the process, barring the melder key item.


      <Purging Materia>
      It is possible to have equipment purged of materia by paying a fee in gil to the NPC Mutamix located in central Thanalan (29,20). Note, however, that any purged materia will permanently be lost.
      * The purging process does not destroy gear itself.
      * Only the abovementioned NPC can purge materia.
    • [dev1130] A new action has been added for miners, botanists, and fishers.
      • Stealth
        Learned: Level 8

      • Once activated, the stealth effect will remain indefinitely.
        However, the effect will wear off if you reuse the action, incur enmity, enter certain areas, change classes, or switch to active mode.
      • The action is not subject to a recast time.
      • Movement speed will be reduced while stealthed.
      • The stealth effect nullifies any effects present that grant increased movement speed.
      • The action cannot be used when:
        • Incurring enmity
        • On chocoback
        • In certain areas, such as city-states and dungeons
        • In active mode
      * Players who had reached the required level to learn Stealth prior to the patch need to change classes in order to make the action appear in the Actions & Traits menu.

    • [dev1160] Gathering points whose grade is relatively high for the player can now be exploited a greater number of times before depletion.

    • [dev1161] The quality of items obtainable through gathering has been changed to NQ and HQ (+3).

    • [dev1162] The condition whereby gathering for extended periods of time reduces the rate of item yield has been alleviated.

    • [dev1163] The imbalance in the rate of yield in gathering for certain elemental shards has been alleviated.

    • [dev1164] The character growth rate for Disciples of the Land over a certain level range has been adjusted.

    • [dev1193] The default cursor position for the synthesis display has been moved from Requested Items to Recipes.

    • [dev1165] When players do not possess the proper materials to repair an item, they will now receive an error message telling them so.

    • [dev1165] The following changes have been made to item repairs conducted by NPCs:
      • NPC repairs will now restore gear condition to 99%.
      • Prices for repairs have been lowered, and will now vary based on an item's equippable level.

        Item LevelFee
        Gear optimal for levels 1-10100
        Gear optimal for levels 11-20500
        Gear optimal for levels 21-301,000
        Gear optimal for levels 31-402,100
        Gear optimal for levels 41-505,000
        * Patch 1.20 will see accessories made repairable by NPCs.
    • [dev1165] The selling price for dark matter has been lowered significantly.

    • [dev1169] Information displayed on the Timers tab (located under Attributes in the main menu) has been changed.

    • [dev1012] The following changes have been made to player inventories:
      • The optimal levels of items will appear in different colors as below based on the difference between them and your character's level:

    Known Issues
    • An issue wherein equipping gear that affects maximum HP while resting in passive mode resets HP and MP recovery.
    • An issue where shield actions may not be accompanied by their animation.
    • An issue wherein certain actions have been renamed for 1.19, but this change is not reflected in help text.
    • An issue wherein the help text of certain traits that influence attributes (such as Muscle Memory) still mentions point allocation despite it being abolished as of patch 1.19.
      * Such traits have been changed to instead affect attributes that increase automatically through leveling.
    • An issue has been reported wherein the tutorial will freeze temporarily for characters created prior to patch 1.19 who do not have a weaponskill equipped.
      The tutorial will automatically resume after approximately seven minutes have elapsed. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
    • An issue wherein information on equippable class is showing incorrectly for the following gear:
      Angler's Hat / Angler's Hat (Blue)
      * Both items are functioning as intended.
    • An issue wherein the following gear grant unintended bonus effects:
      Mythril Haubergeon / Cobalt Haubergeon / Sheepskin Mitts / Leather Mitts
    • A bug wherein the color of an enemy’s display name does not update properly under certain circumstances, such as changes to party composition during combat, or players being KO’d. The bug applies to the color of the display name only, and in no way affects the claim over the enemy, nor the rights to any experience points or loot resulting from its defeat.
    • An issue wherein untradable items that are stackable do not stack as intended when received from another player via the Loot List.
    • A bug wherein the Gear Change status is not incurred by changing gear during combat.
    • A bug wherein players who logged out as a Disciple of the Hand class prior to patch 1.19 and have since not changed to a class of another Discipline are unable to affix materia to items.

      Please change to any class of another Discipline and then back to your Disciple of the Hand class to rectify this issue.
