Patch 2.4 Notes - Preliminary

I bet the next stage of relics will be in 2.5

Something-us

Tons of stuff to be sure... and most of it... underwhelming to me, though I know I'll be in the minority on that.

Maybe a minion or two in there I'd like....

Most of it just not worth the grind to me.

Shiva drops i120 bracelets. Weapons are a bonus like Ramuh. Assuming the weapons are EX and not HM that is.

HM fights haven't had drops since the original 3. They should have at least implemented an item to boost the iLvl to i115 like Leviathan mirrors. Leviathan EX was farmed like crazy when it came out because it was actually worth running for the weapons as an alternative to T5 weapons with an upgrade to make them better than T5 weapons to go into Second Coil. Moggle Mog EX by comparison was ignored by the community outside of getting your clear because everybody understood that it was a marginal upgrade and thus nobody cared about the fight.

NIN and ROG's changes to Sneak and Trick Attack confuse me.

In XI, which is where a lot of their moves are from, Sneak Attack took effect when you stood behind the enemy, as per the name; Trick Attack occurred in its entirety when you stood behind someone else attacking the enemy.

I feel like they just switched places and the names don't matter much now.

My Question is this, the patch notes said:

- Armor and accessories issued in exchange for Allagan tomestones of mythology (item level 90) have been removed from both the Hunt Billmasters and Auriana

Where are these i90 gear going to go? Dungeons or somewhere else?

Rowena's Token (Poetics) - Other - A note of promise received from Rowena for the delivery of Allagan tomestones of poetics.

Encrypted Tomestone - Other - While Garlond Ironworks engineers insist tomestones contain reams of invaluable information gathered by the lost Allagan Empire, even they are at a loss how to decipher the content of this particular one.

Carboncoat - Other - Born of Allagan ingenuity, this aetherochemical concoction is said to increase a gem's hardness.

Carbontwine - Other - Born of Allagan ingenuity, this aetherochemically engineered fiber can be used to improve the durability of almost anything.

Guess tome gear is getting the same system as 2.2.
UAT -> Encrypted Tomestone
Oil of Time -> Carboncoat
Sands of Time -> Carbontwine

Exhausting...
