■ The following changes have been made to The Forbidden Land, Eureka Pagos.
・The experience points gained from defeating notorious monsters have been increased.
・The number of monsters required to be defeated in order for a notorious monster to appear has been lowered.

■The following change has been made to the Deep Dungeon.
・A warning will now be displayed when trying to enter a Deep Dungeon for which the achievement requirement is not met.

■The following change has been made to The Great Hunt (Extreme).
Players were receiving penalties for abandoning a duty when meeting unintended conditions.

Normally only the first player to leave an instance would receive a penalty. However, when the remaining players also abandon the duty while the party is recruiting members, they were still considered the first player to leave the instance and would receive a penalty.

As the timing for this to occur was very tight, it had gone undetected until now. We were able to confirm this issue as it became more apparent with the introduction of The Great Hunt (Extreme), where the duty fails if players are incapacitated a total of three times.

After looking into the issue, we found that the fix would affect all content in FFXIV, and therefore we determined we would need to be very thorough with our investigations. As a result, we have decided to temporarily disable the party fill feature from The Great Hunt (Extreme) only.

We are planning to re-enable the feature in the future when the issue has been addressed.
We apologize for the inconvenience this will cause.

■The following issues have been addressed.
・In The Forbidden Land, Eureka Pagos, elemental experience points would not be obtained if a monster was defeated by a pet’s attack.
・In The Forbidden Land, Eureka Pagos, the Withered Sankchinni’s “Fluid Strike” would be canceled while casting.
・In The Forbidden Land, Eureka Pagos, the monster “Pagos Anubys” was resistant to the Sleep status.
・In The Forbidden Land, Eureka Pagos, the progression status of the “Brothers” FATE may not have displayed properly under Duty Information.
・When queuing for Duty Roulette: Trials and Duty Roulette: Mentor, an image of The Great Hunt would display in the window after matchmaking was completed.
・In Heaven-on-High, sometimes the Accursed Hoard or traps would appear in places that could not be reached.
・The color of the equipment used by the NPC Kurenai could not be changed after dyeing it with salmon pink dye.
