[patch1.22] Patch 1.22 Notes ARE UP!

I really, really hope this instance trend doesn't keep up once 2.0 hits. I don't mind having instanced content, but I'm a huge fan of open world content, and I hope they begin to put a little focus towards that. Perhaps it was simply a lack of research/being to hopeful, but I was under the assumption that the hamlets were to be an open world/multi party type of content

Also, I scrolled down to the "Battle" update tab expecting to find the PLD and WAR reforms...only to see that the casting animations for BRD were changed. Hmm.

There is focus on open world content too (Strongholds). But it seems that under the current servers the best experience can only be delivered through instances. Hamlets are multi-class-job instanced content =p, and btw, it's only instanced when the 25 hour timer is running.

Yoshi just posted in the JP forums saying the PLD reforms are coming in 1.22b.

We looked into increasing the drop rate and allowing each party member to receive a inferno totem or kupo nut charm with each winning encounter, but instead of touching up on the drop rate, we decided to make adjustments to the number of required totems and nut charms.

In patch 1.22, the below changes are what we have planned:

• Inferno Totems: 10 → 5
• Kupo Nut Charms: 20 → 10

The reason we decided on this change is because if we changed the drop rate, there would still be unlucky players who would complain that they can't get an item, so we decided to not play with the drop rate and instead just change the amount of items required for exchange for a weapon.

[dev1366] The following changes have been made to the Ul’dahn NPC Rowena:

• The number of Kupo Nut Charms required to exchange for an item has been reduced from 20 to 10.
• New items that can be exchanged for primal oblations have been added.

And here I thought I was done with Ifrit. I saved my 10 totems as soon as I read that original post. Silly me ><;

they retracted that post awhile ago

[dev1389] The following actions can now be performed upon online linkshell members in the Linkshell interface: Send /Tell, Invite, Promote, Demote, Exile

It's a start. Too bad you can't get rid of inactives. :(

Oh well, we just remade our LS, so if we get any jackasses in it somehow, least we can get rid of them easily.

"Brand of Earth 20 Ends elemental instability and increases quality. Effect is increased when the element stabilized is earth.

Bold Endeavor 30 Ends elemental instability and increases quality. Effect is increased when the element stabilized is earth."

Error :P

Well, if they never planned for us to be able to enter it in 1.22, they should be more specific when releasing info. I know I wasn't the only person who thought we would be able to explore it.

Since I'd find it very hard to imagine that we can only get one item in each area. I'm thinking Botanist will be camp nine ives and Western will be Camp Bald Knoll, then of course Nanawa mines. the mines will be the easiest of the 3 to check but I may afk myself near nine ives and throw a node search upon logging back when servers are up. But ya I think your best bet would be to check those 3 areas, well for miners the mines.

Yah i supposed that too, as it doesn't seemed to be acquired through classic gathering, I just meant "does my Ctrl+F Coke lie to me" ? well we'll know soon enough.
