A flyable Sleipnir was mentioned in a Live Letter in the past, sadly they never gave a time frame on it for release.

No battle leves for lv60+? Noooo
They were a good source for free gear

Did anyone notice the part about the companions HP and display name settings? I really hope this means they will be treated like a normal party member for ease of healing the pets.

I think that's an oversight. Later on, you can see in the menu a listing for battleleves, so I'm fairly sure they will have them.

so where is the NPCs that will give us SAM and RDM?

Are they expecting us to find it ourselves again?

It's in the notes. They're both in Ul'dah.

When completing a level 51 to 59 dungeon or a level 61 to 69 dungeon, players will always receive one piece of gear equippable by their current class or job.

This one is interesting. If it means less rng wrestling, I'm all for it.

Retainer ventures and quick explorations have been adjusted so that players do not obtain certain unnecessary items.

So no more fish?

Actually, the patch notes specifically say that the new areas won't have them.

so question haha wasnt here at the start of hw so , in hw was it an option to have 2000 tomes available with this new tomes of verity seems like a great way for those whom level multiple jobs to do so did this exist in hw.

Hmm, that's odd... I missed that somehow, even searching the correct key words. Thanks for pointing it out.

Verity is not capped weekly so Im super excited for this. Can actually gear up multiple jobs in the beginning.
Can't say the same for Tomes of Creation when they come out later though, I believe it was mentioned those would be capped weekly.
Even so, its nice to see them atleast giving us options!

Yeah, that's how it worked at 3.0 too. You could kit out in i170 gear with no capping. They added the second capped tome a month later, along with Alex. I assume the same will happen here with Omega (or Ivalice? Whatever the new coil is).

That sounds good tho really makes me happy maybe this will be a trend they do hopefully where they switch from uncapped to capped tomes. But Im excited all my other jobs dont have to sit in vender trash anymore and that I dont have to craft more like I was dreading haha

Verity tomestones are equalient to what Law tomestones were in HW...
They'll get you gear above the first lvl 70 dungeons and aren't capped, then sometime later they'll add tomestones that'll be 450 weekly capped that'll get you better gear. And if they decide to repeat things from HW, those ones will be "artifact armors" that are Job specific and not shared between roles...

Doubt it, after the initial HW drop, new tomes were always capped. So can atleast gear up multiples via Verity for now, then afterwards, it'll become a pain in the butt.
But they also said our final job quests this go around will give us a box that contains a full set of our AF armor. So atleast we'll have something.

Omega is the 8 man, Ivalice is the 24.

This is literally how tomes worked in HW? An uncapped tome with entry level gear. Your jobs won't be 'geared' by doing it. They will just be entry level. Capped tomes is still a thing.

Feel like some people need hook on phonics because they can't read.

you'll get your artifact armour by completing your lvl70 job quest.

The wolves are primal mounts.

Great changes all around.

Glad they got rid of attribute points because they were a holdover from 1.0 and didn't serve any real purpose.

I so want that Wolf mount. Looks a lot like Amatarasu from Okami, the old PS2 game.

I'm disappointed that I have go through Heavensward before I can get into Stormblood. I understand why but it's still a disappointment.

At least I'll be able to swim the water and /puckerup on the beach. ;) Oh, and check out Samurai and Red Mage too. Wahoo! :cool:

Job Quests themselves will give a set of Job Specific gear, that set bridges the gap between the last leveling dungeon drops and the farmable Verity Gear. The Capped Tomes when Omega Savage launches will be role based not JSE. Max melded crafted gear should be superior to Verity Gear.

It's panging my nostalgia button so hard. I have a primal NEED for that mount! *3*

All I can say about these patch notes is.

Well, if you want, I think you can buy the "potion" that lets you skip the story up to end of HW.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought of Okami when I saw that. :)

Super hyped! :D

Though... I'm pretty salty that players can purchase Firecrests and Glass Pumpkins from E-Una-Kotor... for PotD. Considering I worked my butt off to clear Floor 200 and get my Firecrest/Firecrest Earring, I don't like the fact that people can just buy them now. I understand Floor 200 is optional content, but it's also designed to be a challenge, and reward those who conquered said challenge. The fact that people can just buy the items now makes me kind of mad.

like a 20 to 30 ilvl dif tho Im guessing , and I wasnt here at the start of hw so thats why I was asking

The firecrest and glass pumpkin thing is more likely because it's old content now. By patch 4.2 or 4.3, we'll have a new PotD styled dungeon if their original plans for that kind of content continues.


I'm really excited about the new format and changes to PVP. This is SO much better than before.
