I am pretty sure they just dumped the bonus myth for first time bonus in the duty roulette trials section. However, if you look farther down to duty roulette adjustments only striking tree (hard) is being added to duty roulette: trials.

The following items are now available for trade from Aelina in Mor Dhona at Revenant's Toll (X:22 Y: 6):

Sands of Time / Oil of Time / Wolf Marks


I feel like im reading this wrong?

we can trade in myth / soldiery for wolf marks, oil and sands?

(because the allied marks vendor is someone else according to the notes)

I believe regular hunts will be different per player, while elite hunts will be the same for everyone.

Auriana is the myth/sold seller, Aelina sells items for special currency/items.

That's strange. Does SE really think ex can be killed on roulette now?

The only places that has this list in the patch notes is about which dungeons and Trials will get an aditional myth tome reward when completed with a first timer in the Group, nothing about them being in the roulett.

Maybe she'll take unidentified tomestones in exchange for these.

Maybe another use for unidentified tomestones then

On average, a player would have to do 100 CT runs to get just an unidentified allagan tombstone? It doesn't seem right. Just like how ridiculous the drop rate for mirrors are considering i100 weapons are almost too common now.

That is most likely the new furniture. The chair or whatever.

Read the notes the 100 myth bonus is only if you help someone with a first time clear.

Disappointed with the Ifrit-Egi changes, Crimson Cyclone really could do with being a dash forward attack, like Shoulder Tackle. Means he doesn't have to float over as slow as possible to start DPSing, and they could remove the annoying Stun effect as well. Ifrit-Egi Stunning when no set to Obey is 99% of the reason I don't use him... Garuda-Egi got the biggest buff IMO, with Aerial Slash now being instant... Oh, and no mention of fixing Ifrit-Egis auto-attack delay, or did they fix that in an earlier patch?

Also, did anyone else notice the name changes for a large selection of Gladiator weapons? Looks like they're removing Daggers from the Class in preparation for 2.4, they've all been changed to Bastard Swords and I'd hope their model actually matches (a Dagger called a Bastard Sword would be...), and Gladius Swords have been changed to Viking Swords... Foreshadowing a new Job off Gladiator? Since "* No changes have been made to item parameters or recipes.", I doubt Bastard Swords are going to be two handed though, so maybe not. Really hopeful for any Bastard Sword models, since I generally hate the majority of swords in the game currently...

Yeah I saw that too - I presume it's in preparation for the introduction of RGE and NIN in 2.4. Still, the removal of gladius type swords seems a bit... well.. odd... given the fact the actual Latin word 'gladius' is the root source for the actual word 'Gladiator'! Ah well, I was expecting it anyway, as it was something Yoshi hinted at a long time ago (removal of knives/daggers from GLA for use by RGE).

and~~~~~~~one greedy person at my server purchased all 80+ dodore leather and 20+ dodore wings this morning.
I don't even know what's the lv55 ring and necklace can do. Probably going to jack the price up...

You'd think someone with "So cute❤" in their signature wouldn't have a problem with it.:rolleyes:

Wondering where we get the new i95 weapons? They seem primal themed so I wonder if they've been added to the EX fights.

You enhance regular weapons through crafting.

I am still hoping for all the glasses we saw in a live letter a little while back.

---

Does that mean "Unlike regular relic armor, augmented artifact armor can be dyed any color of your choice." AF can be augmented as well? Because that statement indicated that only augmented items can be dyed.

That's pretty much it.
They couldn't just slap on the 'dyable' switch... for whatever reason they needed a new item to be dyeable to be the AF.

And that's why changes to items and crafting or gathering are not usually released until right before the patch goes live.

If you read the information for that section, it says the appearance is changing too. Also Bastard swords are sometimes called hand a half swords. Meaning they can be used 1 handed as well as 2.

This. All the actual recipes are still missing, as well as which minions are crafted and which are quest rewards.

I did just go buy the little dodore wings that were on the MB lol. Not much leather or wings have ever been up on my server anyway.

The allagan tomestone is going to be in the regular chests.

I'd love to know where you're getting your information since that section of the patch notes says nothing about what's coming from that last chest. It's quite possible that UAT/Sands/Oils and the crafting mat could come from that chest.

- Rewards in Syrcus Tower
You can receive only one reward item per week for completing duties in Syrcus Tower. In the event you are awarded an item from the loot list, you relinquish your right to vie for all remaining items regardless of whether you selected Need or Greed. If time expires and a reward item is obtained automatically, this will also count toward the weekly limit.
* Reward eligibility is reset every Tuesday at 1:00 a.m. (PDT).

Each party in the alliance will receive its own treasure chest, the contents of which will be identical regardless of the route taken.
* Players cannot open a treasure chest belonging to another party.

A fourth treasure chest may occasionally appear upon defeating the last boss of Syrcus Tower. The above restrictions do not apply to this treasure chest.

---

Oh, your translation is weird, in french it clearly states that the items that count as the weekly loot are equipments and upgrade items. Therefore the upgrade items can't be in this final chest.
My bad.

Also, cf CT1

Odd that they left that bit out in the English translation. Hopefully they'll update the patch notes to clarify this.

They slapped on the dyable switch for Darklight so it seems like SE just doing it a roundabout way as a means to add a lil bit of content.
