Rhapsodies of Vana’diel Chapter 2

(4:20～)

In the second chapter of Rhapsodies of Vana’diel, we implemented scenarios 4-6.

The cutscenes that were added feature character dialogue that varies depending on your progress in each of the missions, and they were also made to have other minor deviations.

We’ve made it so you can now view all of the different cutscenes from both the Melody Minstrel and footprints located in each area, so once you finish a mission, be sure to watch the other cutscene variations.

After completing the missions you will once again be rewarded with a bonus key item, and you’ll be able to gain bonuses such as an increase to the maximum amount of alter egos you can summon.

Details on all of the key items can be found here.

Escha – Ru’Aun

(7:50～)

We implemented a new Eschan area called Escha – Ru’Aun, and as the name implies this area was based off of Ru’Aun Gardens.

Adventurers can enjoy various content in this area such as Geas Fete, Domain Invasion, fishing, gathering, and other activities.

This area is meant for players who are level 99 and up, and there are a lot of powerful monsters roaming around.

Seekers of Adoulin Quest

(11:58～)

Continuing the story of the quest “No Laughing Matter,” we added the conclusion, “A Barrel of Laughs.”

When completing the quest you’ll be able to select one piece of equipment from four possible reward items.

In event you would like a different reward item, you can change the item you picked for another; however, you can only do this once a week.

Unity Concord

(13:35～)

We’ve added Yoran-Oran and Sylvie as Unity leaders.

Sylvie is the first geomancer-type alter ego, and Yoran-Oran possesses a high amount of support capabilities.

We’ve also made adjustments to the Unity accolades required to change Unities, so if you’re interested in trying out a different Unity, now’s a great chance to do so.

Mog Tablet Adjustments

(15:34～)

It’s been quite some time since the rewards for finding Mog Tablets was last changed, and since we’ve been receiving requests on the forum for this, we revamped the lineup of rewards.

Mog Tablets will show up on wide scan when you are in a certain range, so if you have the opportunity, definitely try and find them!
