4.18: Can You Tell Us What's Inside?

Just as the topic says, can you tell us what's coming in 4.18? We know it's going to be the usual hotfixes, but will there be anything of special note?

People who played anything that sounded remotely like Answers will get banned permanently.

Probably only fixes. I wish one of them is the current lag spikes on EU dataceter. But I guess it is a ISP problem and not server problem.

Maybe they're going to finally fix the speed hacks in PvP after that Oppressor video debacle... We'll know once the patch is in place.

I'm taking it's some in-game adjustments, more than actual content. My bet is that they are going to implement some PvP adjustments, since they *just* released Rival Wings.

I would guess that one thing coming is unlocking content. So like rabby will not be 1 piece per week and the token could buy the weapon upgrade item.

don't expect new content before 4.2

- Unlock Deltascape Crystalloid drops
- Allow Rabanastran Coin and Hunt logs to be exchanged for Lost Allagan Roborant

About it, probably. I'm holding out a little hope they'll unlock Savage loot restrictions but I doubt it.

Not expecting new content, that's for sure. We have a Live Letter next week for any big 4.2 reveals. I'm hoping it's going to be some fixes for Rival Wings, and I fully expect any other not previously resolved known issues to be addressed.

The bigger point was to poke them and maybe hear something. It feels like there's just so little info given outside of live letters, and while I understand some things they can't discuss, I've also seen more active dev/community rep correspondence on the forums for other games. It would be nice to have some of that here.

Most likely unlocking Rabanaster drops and Deltascape normal drops. That is what I think will probably happen(though not likely).

Deltascape can already be farmed nonstop. Or did you mean something else?

My bet is they'll introduce some new bugs to compensate for those they've fix.

Did not realize it could...haven't ran it in since before it was unlocked. So not sure what else might be put into that patch.

Maybe Carbuncle mounts ?

it will bring people complaining that a x.x8 patch didn't bring any new content :^)

But for real
When for Carbuncle mount ?

They meant unlocking drops, as in being able to win as many drops as possible. Currently, it's still only possible to win one part per floor, per week.

Everything in deltascape normal is uncapped except for the weapon tokens.

Deltascape savage is still capped.

Xmas event maybe?

Yep, they loot restriction on drops from Omega Normal, aside from the crytalloid, were removed in 4.1

i would guess:

adjustments to rival wings

maybe buffing sus/lak doggo whistle drop rate (but not being able to buy with totems yet)

unlocking crystalloid weekly lockout

rabanasty coin being able to buy roborant (clan hunt logs have never been able to buy the weapon upgrade item historically iirc)

unlocking progression to deltascape savage with maybe some nerfs or adding echo

Usualy all that is an minor update like 4.2, not a small like 4.18
Might be wrong but until now it has been like this.

Nerfing da Healer in pvp,Perhaps ?

Too soon for that I think

But this seems possible.

Like Kahdom says, i think about balancing pvp (again x) ), bug fixes as usual and maybe event. But most likely nothing more, this is a small update after all.

It can, but the Deltascape Crystalloid from V4N is still once per week. That lockout will probably be removed in this upcoming patch.

I actually really hope that turns out to be the case. I still have to do three more weekly runs before I can even get my first i330 weapon. That is, unless I can either learn and clear O2S and luck out on the item you exchange the Crystalloids for, that or get through Shinryu EX and try to get the i335 weapon lol.

The patch will have 1s & 0s, lots of them.

This basically. Maybe increase drop rate for that dungeon mount that I can't never remember name. :/ You know the robot thingy

Maybe this will be additional housing wards? Think about it. A patch with no description of content. Maybe it'll be a "we'll sneak in extra housing in before 4.2 and not say anything and maybe the real estate developers won't notice it and give others a chance." Probably not, but it's fun to speculate.

The predator?

- add surrender match vote for rival wing

If this is in 4.18 I might be glad about it.

Probably just some last minute data regarding the holiday events we're about to have, such as quest info, NPCs, scenes, et cetera; a pvp "fix" for an issue hardly anyone sees or cares about; a few minor bug fixes with vague updates like "This has been adjusted to happen appropriately, in X or Y raid." Things like that, which won't surprise me.

I hear that Godbert may randomly Manderville smash 1000 players at once in 4.18. Just kidding lol. I think it’s mostly buying weapon upgrades with rabanastre tokens.

Nice. It's a 3-in-1 for weapons patch. Crystalloid unlocked, amount needed lowered, and Rabanastre coin for upgrade.

Deltascape has been adjusted as follows:
Two treasure coffers will now always appear. Furthermore, the weekly restriction on rewards obtained from coffers has been removed.
The weekly entrance restriction on all areas of Deltascape has been removed.
Players may now proceed directly to any area of Deltascape.


This looks like a savage unlock? Time to farm?

It has to be for Savage. It would make no sense for them to use this wording with regards to normal Deltascape because all the loot has already been unlocked there, save for the Crystalloid. Plus, the normal Deltascape has never had a floor penalty where if you enter a higher higher floor, you forfeit rewards from the lower tiers. That has always been Savage only.
