Patch 3.57 is UP

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...e21a459f2ab5b3

Dun Scaith weekly cap removed.
Quite a few Anima weapon quest nerf but no light point increase yet.

Figures they'd nerf the sand right after I finally gave up and cashed out my stock. So damn annoying.

Most likely be the next patch, for now I'm glad for the sands/singing cluster phase change.

Darn, I was guessing we get that weekly "Do all 3 Heavensward 24-player Raids" quest to get 1 Lv260 weapon stone or upgrade items lol
(Like weekly crystal tower quest that time on version 2.X)

But.. uhh.. Finaly a stone for a lv260 weapon dont cost ridicoules 7gears anymore! o_o

Why did they put all those primals in RF if they were just gonna add them to DF again ._.

Sophia 'nd zurvan i guess i can understand, but the rest were already on the DF just to be removed and placed in the RF..now to be removed and placed in the DF again.

Sand and luminous crystal nerf, nice. Still stuck at sands lol. Also time to start gearing all jobs for Stormblood. Dun Scaith gear is the equivalent of item level 120 gear in ARR so it should be enough for alts.

I will finally upgrade and get weapons faster :D

You still need the 3 of them to upgrade weap. It was better designed that 2.X because you got the pieces since the first 24man raid that allowed you to upgrade all your heavensard gear, contrary to the 2.X quest that only allowed to upgrade the last gear.

i just did all the dam crystals last week for it to be Nerfd O__O

I just got all my sand last week as well xD sods law I tell ya.

I finished the sand last week but I'm not complaining. I'm halfway done with the singing clusters and this nerf will be a huge help. While singing clusters are a lot easier than the sand, it's still a bothersome lore grind right after lore grinding umbrite.

The weekly + lore nerf makes this a breeze to do in a week or 2 if you don't have much time to play.

Guess who stayed up all night to get on Gilgamesh after maintenance? And now guess who gets an error and can't start the game? I am very pissed.

You get a nerf, you get a nerf, and YOU get a nerf! NERFS FOR EVERYONE!!!!! 🍾🍾🍾

I am stuck on sands part, I am glad they nerfed it!

Weekly removal of cap for Dun Scaith simply means i have even less of a chance to get gear.
Sand was annoying but Umbrite was worst since there was not many options to obtain it

Given how much people like to farm things, the one's who desperately want the gear right now will probably be done by the end of the week. So the whole 'less chance' will be temporary anyway.

Just go in as the job you want the gear on so you can need it.

I suppose, but if you knew me you would see how much bad luck i have always had in this game, lol
Like who gets rolls of 1....

Would it make you feel better that I've had many rolls of 98, only to lose out to someone else rolling a 99? D:

I guess go with a full group of friends or people from the FC and that way you aren't competing against someone else.

Still no echo in Zurvan EX Q_Q

Don't worry, gameplay quality in there is down so much, even finishing feels like victory (3 runs today, all ended in wipes at proto ultima)

Free Login Campaign strikes again, that and people playing alts to roll on the uncapped gear. Fun times.

They nerf the sand but not the light? wow oh well can win them all. Why the sand? are people still struggling with it? Well Light farm in Dun isn't too bad.

Might just be saving the light nerf for next month. Still 2 months left until expansion.

Makes sense I suppose. The 275 step is pretty easy and if they time it with the last month before expansion all those relics being made will help out the queues of all the story mode primals for the people who are joining the game/returning right before the expansion.

Just guessing though.

I thought 3.57 was the last patch they were doing before we enter 4.X series?

That's my understanding as well.

Perhaps, but I hope they at least do a 3.59 just to have something in between the dead 2 months left on top of the Gold Saucer event.

Going by patch history, 2.57 was the last patch for ARR, so I doubt we'll see another before 4.0.

Well there it is, the official death of the Raid Finder.

I really don't understand why this feature was so under-utilized in favor of the Party Finder. You could queue for stuff you completed, guaranteed to be grouped up with other people who completed, and it had a pretty good success rate. Or do a learning party with like-minded people.

It's a sad day.

Right, and I don't understand why it never took off. When Sophia came out, it was easy farming. I would've thought that'd sell people on the concept, but sadly no.

dun scaithe lockout removal?

That might be true however there's always A, B, C they could be adding or just call it 3.57.1/a hotfix, 3.57.2 etc. Because if you're looking back, before HW hit, we got the tomes increased which is already the case, but the amount needed were highly reduced. You could find yourself instead of getting a chest piece at 825, now at 495 and later on even at 375. I am pretty sure we will see a couple more hotfixes that are not called patches but do the exact same thing. Adjust/nerf everything and make a free for all out of it, for the people that couldn't catch up the last months already. Please look forward too it.

Even free i270 weapon upgrades won't help bad DPS from skipping soar.

There are many things in life that you can get for free: Love. Trolls. i270 weapon upgrades...

But you can't skip Soar.

In all seriousness, I'm glad for the nerfs to anima. I can get through the Sharpened Stage in maybe two-three days.

I also have a feeling that there will be a patch 3.58 to nerf light/density step and to MAYBE put echo in Zurvan EX.

As far as Raid Finder is concerned, I've spent upwards to an hour in que multiple times before and after they implemented cross server pf and I never once got into anything. Maybe I was just unlucky, but from where I'm sitting, raid finder was a complete waste of time. That's just my experience though. I've heard stories from people how raid finder was originally a godsend, but I just never experienced that.

Man I was really hoping for a light nerf on anima, I should be starting light on a second anima next week =(
