Patch 4.0 Notes (Preliminary)

Quote:

---

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.
