Patch 3.25

I understand the next anima upgrade is coming in it (i225?). Are they going to adjust the amount of items needed for the previous step?

What about other things like orchestrion rolls, sightseeing log entries, or Hildibrand quests?

More important, anima weapon is gaining materia slots next phase?

That'd be awesome if they did.

As long as we don't have to deal with Sphere Scrolls again. Alexandrite is easy as pie to get these days but I remember when you were lucky to get more than one per day.

They haven't given any information about the next step yet, except that it's coming in 3.25.

They would more likely adjust the rate at which you acquire items for the previous step rather than reduce the amount needed, but only time will answer your other questions, we don't have access to details of future upgrades.

Please look forward to book grinding and spending your esoterics for them. Throw in some light farming for good measure.

It had better not be i225. We can do better than that with the lore weapon before augmentation.

They didn't say what ilvl it will be. Probably won't be 225 because turning in lore for a 230 is pretty easy compared to relics.

They aren't gonna nerf numbers until a few steps after certain upgrades. Drop rates maybe, but not the number to collect, nor costs.

I hope they fix the Orchestrion volume and the BGM change while using Crystal Bell. The BGM change between Orchestrion and using Crystal Bell is really rough like Orchestrion -> House Ward's BGM -> Aesthetician's BGM

books with fates that spawn every 5h .....and always pop when u go offline :)

I would love for them to either decrease the items needed for the current final step, or decrease the amount of tomestones required for them. (Or both XD) I also, would LOVE for the next step to NOT include, book grinding, fate grinding, and materia scroll binding. But that all being said, I am sure the next step will make me wish for all of those things. lel! I still have to finish my anima. I almost have the gil required to buy the crafting items. XD

I truly hope the next step for the BLM relic has spell speed and materia slots. (I imagine it would have to have slots at this point though.)

Exhibit A: Idylshire's Tome shop. It costs the same amount of Eso as it does Law to get the Seeds and Metal. Compared to everything else that had been subject to Inflation.

I'm fine with the current number (I have PLD weapon). I'd like to get NIN weapon, but since Eso Tomes is no longer capped per week, I find myself gearing my alts rather than buying the Unidentifiable items. If the Items were at a lower cost, I'd be all over it.

Or worse... You log off at the spawn location. Get home from work, log in, and the FATE is active. But...it's like 98% done, so you don't get Gold.

It should be 135-140 for incentive.

It takes alot if time to get and is out dated by the time its usable, raid weapon beats it and lore weapon is 1WD lower than it for far less grinding.

I've noticed this with teleporting out of the house, too.

If I'd to make a guess, the Orchestrion doesn't actually "change" the bgm, it just pause it and play another music, hence the issue you mentioned. Regardless, I do agree it should be changed, along with the low quality virtual sound system and pardon me, outrageous tower music drops.

135-140? Wut?

There will be an Anima weapons update in Patch 3.25 and Patch 3.3 according to the live letter.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...801-12-2016%29

It is a 2 part update. If I had to guess first part will probably make the weapons ilvl 230. Advantages to this its the same as the base lore weapon only you don't need to spend 1000 lore on it and 7 weeks of farming Alex M. Normal or get the drop in A6S

The 3.3 update will probably take them to ilvl 240, since 3.3 will be the new 24 man and tomestone upgrade items are usually put in hunts at this point.

Previous Step Nerf.

Crystal Drop Rate Increased.
Dungeons Untouched.
NQ items from crafter allowed instead of only HQ ones OR only 3 HQ items instead of 4. (Total reduced from 16 to 12)
Price of Unidentified Items in tomestones reduced from 680 to 580.
Beast Tribe Tokens required for Unidentified Items reduced from 13 to 10. From 18 to 15 for Vanu and Vath.
Slight chance of getting one extra Unidentified Item after clearing any stage of Alexander: Gordias. (This chance will increase with each new Anima Quest).

New Step.

Super Duper Extra Ultra Mega Double Cheese Rare Netherbook someone had in her kitchen appears. Remember book stage, but amped up to HW. A Gazillion completely booring Neverreap runs awaits.

If.. previous step going to be updated. They going to make each 20 of 1 item cost less than 680 tomes. Meaning, nothing will go waste and you can easily start the next step. My guess for the next step would be... well, nothing to guess here really, we can all expect massive grind. Just remember guys, we have more mechanics compared to back in 2.0... So, new grind is not limited to FATE or dungeon farm, but monster hunt, crafting and so much more.... considering SE now allowing materials to slot, we can look forward to customizable relics.

i225?

I hope not.
