Announcing the Next Version Update
Good day, adventurers! Matsui here with this month's roundup.
The next version update is scheduled for Tuesday, June 7.
First up is the latest Ambuscade, with all new foes to conquer and rewards to snag. As you have come to expect, hallmarks and gallantry will be reset when the update goes live.
We've also prepared a quest exploring a bit more of Adoulin in the aftermath of the Seekers of Adoulin missions-completion of which is a prerequisite for embarking on this new journey. Players who have obtained the golden shovel cordon key item from Celennia Memorial Library as proof of their dedication to the pioneering cause may commence the quest, so take this opportunity to finish the Seekers of Adoulin storyline before the quest goes live!
Additionally, the version update also expands upon the mount system, with mounts to become available in areas in which they were previously barred. Along with this change, chocobo digging will become available in several additional areas, and the system itself will receive some minor changes.
Other adjustments include tuning for Rhapsodies of Vana'diel battle content, slight changes to Domain Invasion, alterations to healing abilities used by avatars, new automaton attachments, the addition of the ephemeral moogle to Mog Gardens, and more.
Take a look at the table below for a more detailed glimpse of what's to come. As always, these entries are currently undergoing testing, and last-minute issues may prevent some of them from going live in June.
