What you think of the 3.55a patch notes?

So what everyone think of the 3.55a patch notes?

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...cd375129aa498e

YEEEESSS! UMBRITE NERF!!!

Zhloe looks like waifu material.

Umbrite nerf to 150 tomes seems just about right, though I think they should have added more ways to get sands. OTOH the new delivery service can sort of offset that, but up to 6 max deliveries a week seems rather... small.

Wooooo!!!!!! I can buy ma Sophia bird!!!! xD

Now that I'm almost done with the Umbrite they nerf it LOL.

While it's nice to see the Zurvan bird drop rate increased, I wish I could just purchase it as I have 99 totems saved in my inventory.

I feel like a failure for not getting more red scrips...

Umbrite wasn't particularly hard to get - just tedious in my opinion. You get lore tomes from the bulk of end game content whilst crystal sand is more scarce/expensive.

Crystal sands """"""""""nerf""""""""""" is not even worth it unless you have a bunch of beast tokens saved.

Kinda mad they nerfed the monk for pvp, but otherwise the patch is pretty good.

Agreed, even buying them with poetics is pointless as it's cheaper to get the mist and ink for a sand.

Well it official there only 3 pieces of the High summoner outfit

High Summoner's Dress (Only equippable by females), High Summoner's Armlets (Only equippable by females), High Summoner's Boots (Only equippable by females)

So the body/legs are in fact one piece. Boo

This disappointed me as well. If your gonna increase the drop rate, might as well have let us buy the damn thing..

Oh well..more farming.. (Oh, RNG lotting gebus...please be good to me...)

The custom delivery thing is interesting. I hope one of the NPC's we can build favor with is Aymeric.

im very narked we gotta wait till 3.5.6 for the rest of the story -_-


but there is 1 good thing.

'Players can now exchange red crafters' or gatherers' scrips at the Scrip Exchange in Idyllshire (X:5.7 Y:7.0) for the following items:'

'Grade V Materia (Disciple of the Hand or Land)'

Eh, it's coming sometime in march, so i give it two or three weeks for the last bit of the patch, and then we got three months until stormblood. So yay.

Grade V materia prices will finally drop in the market now.

Overall I am pretty pleased, as I knew most of everything else like diadem and MSQ is in the next patch.

diadem update is next week. in patch 3.5.5B :P

Firstly, I know that they want the way to unlock proto-ultima to be a secret.

Secondly, I hate when they do stuff like that. Just tell us where to find things.

Thirdly, no Main Scenario quests. That's disappointing.

Guess I'll be doing Anima -> Delivery -> Ultima accessory I want -> back to the Feast to keep grinding the 200 win achievement.

Also, thought on the Frontline change, if you're making everyone always queue as Freelancer whether they have the option selected or not, why not just get rid of the option from the menu?

Pretty underwhelming, overall. I just hope this last relic step isn't too grindy.

Pretty sure thats only while queueing in a party.

If I remember correctly Yoshi had stated he considered our last step "Painful" and that the final step would be more of a victory lap. I don't have an exact quote but I remember seeing it.

Honestly this looks to be the worst .x5 patch they've ever released. But they did hold off Diadem & story.

It'll probably be the last week of March for 3.56.

Given that its supposed to be a "victory lap" AND that the last step was easy and not that grindy overall, it shouldn't be that bad.

They added a new trial, ending story bits for mhach, final relic step, and new stuff for DoH and DoL. the x.x5 patches have never been large lol.

Oh sweet Christ thank you, its small but the price drop for umbrite is so welcome! Thank you papa square ;3; Now I just need to know if that Sice hair will be available and I can be truly happy.

Seriously???

Other than 2.55, how many of these have we had?

Still no ponytail...rest of the content I won't really participate in. The Fanfest fight wasn't too bad so that shouldn't last long.

Probably be March 21st. You know when every other game releases on that day.

"Unidentified Flying Object." It must be talking about Proto Ultima.

Zhloe Aliapoh looks nice, that could be interesting, but it feels like GC provisioning missions with a pretty veneer.

Other than that, this patch has literally nothing in it for me. PVP is not something I do, and to be honest, I wish they'd focus the resources they waste on it on other content. Adding a new 24 person trial has little relevance for me as well.

The Relic path is far too Grindy for me, even with the nerfs, by the time I got part way down the line, 4.0 will be here and Story gear will make it completely redundant to me.

All in all, not very impressive.

The worst thing is losing a day of play time for the 'content' in this patch.

It's pretty much nothing! \o/

Disappointed with the umbrite nerf. Now I only have to spam ARF/Gubal 80-120 times. Oh joy...

Proto Ultima battle quest giver more than likely be at wine port as I've seen in an you tube of an fan fest

Nah, they spawned us in random locations for stuff. It was like that in 2014 too, they stuck is in costa i think.

Doubt it. I'm thinking it's similar to the Gift of the Archmagus quest, where do all 3 raids to get a reward.

Well, grind never end o.o

I have 3 anima weapon 260, but lately a little lazy for do dungeon and not yet complete any for 270. I need start to do roulette 60/ex every day, then I conclude before 4.0. This month only did dungeon until cap Scripture.

Unlikely. We already get tokens from the raids themselves though.

I'm glad I dumped all of my blue materia V's instead of holding on to them to meld in the Ironworks gear I'm acquiring. I'll probably be able to repurchase them at a significantly lower price.

The umbrite nerf is also appreciated.

I am pretty happy considering we will get diadem in a week or two. Crafting and gathering endgame with some narrative is something that really has been needed. The Umbrite nerf is extremely valuable and Proto Ultima will be fun.

The crystal sand nerf is pretty underwhelming but crystal sand is really easy to farm with leves and even easier if your a crafter/gatherer.

Anyone have a link to the patch notes? The one from op is on maintenance. :[
