4.2 Patch Notes

https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...f8ac40cfea7e12

I believe the three new items that can be bought from the Grand Companies weren't in the prelim patch notes.

Quick-hardening Sealant 2,300
Glass Fiber 7,000
Ballroom Etiquette - Reflection 10,000

For those who for some reason can't read the notes. For Second Lts

So excited to see the new Warrior! And new Bard instruments! Ahhh! *dies*

This just makes me so happy. Only need 1600 red crafter's scrips now (I have all Master IIIs). Gonna start smashing together some mats I think tomorrow, and building a load of items. Get my 1600 scrips, get all the master book IVs, and then work on building up my crafting. I'll get all 1600, then buy all the books in one go. While also building up my Fisher to 60 using leves.

The yellow Gathering/Crafting scrip needs for stuff has made me a little happier I delayed on a certain gear. XD

I guess the rumored MCH buffs to compensate for the hypercharge nerf are coming in 4.25 if anything.

I would love if they finally implemented a method to sort these patch notes by expansion. As someone still getting through HW (and back before during ARR), it does me little good to know what they're adding/adjusting in the SB content.

Usually, if it's specific to certain expansions, they'll name it by patch cycle numbers (2.x, 3.x, 4.x)

He means he wants an option to see the 2.0 and 3.0 changes without scrolling through all the 4.0 changes

Of course. But it's a lot of scrolling through 4.0 stuff to get to the bits that will affect my play.

I never saw anyone very excited for this, even though I know it was in the preliminary, but we no longer get hit with Heavy while riding mounts. I get what that was all about, but it was seriously just annoying more than anything.

Still very glad that elemental materia will no longer clog up space, and fewer loser prizes when converting.
I'm interested to see what changes they've made to some old ARR gear (such as circlets or ring bands) that previously had multiple variations for each element. With elemental stats gone, that could leave all that gear just being duplicates with slightly different colored gemstones.

That's Ehcatl Sealant, mistranslated. They also listed it as being reduced in from 8 Oaknots to 3.

MCH was buffed through a bug fix. Turret damage is going up to compensate for the Hypercharge reduction. It might actually be more correct to say that the 6% Hypercharge was a band-aid fix for the turret bug and now that the bug is fixed they can move it back to 5%.

I don't think it's mistranslated. There's a part saying they change the Ehcatl Sealant's name to quick hardening sealant.

Still no stackable maps, why SE :(

So even after the full patch notes, no sign of the text resizing feature shown in the dev blog?

There are QOL changes present that are far more minor than that one

I know, that's why i said they might not put it all in the notes. But we'll just have to see tomorrow.

Crafter stuff has been reduced but the Gathering folklore books are still expensive AF for both HW and SB.

They didn't allow for map stacking because they don't want people to horde maps.
What amazed the heck outta me is stackables are now 999. Although personally, I'd prefer seeing mats in a dedicated tab, like we do for crystals. Hell I'd even be willing to give up a page or two in my pack just to have this. Maybe one page per expansion? Even if it was just 99 per item. (trick would be to have both NQ and HQ mats, although I suspect if they ever did this, HQ mats would not be able to be stored.)
All things considered, they're doing a lot to aliviate the storage issue.
It just cost us a DRK and MSQ roulette to do so.

You can technically "hoard" maps by having multible retainers, use 1 map and still have 1 more in your inventory.
Unless my math fails me we may now have 10 maps on us

Down in Resolved Issues.

"An issue wherein dialogue windows and the Duty Ready confirmation window could not be resized."

Did you try? Cuz the 2.x/3.x/4.x things are just images, and not actually text that can be "found." Also, not really them implementing a sort function.

You can also mail them to friends and have them send them back to you and keep them unopened till you need them

Sure square... a "resolved issue"...

"Up until Patch 3.5, we purposefully made it so that you couldn't do this, as we were considering how it looks with cutscenes. However, due to some... mishaps... this became possible in 4.0! We removed the bug... errr, feature in Patch 4.1, but it will make its glorious return in Patch 4.2!"

Thanks for finding that

Did Eureka get delayed AGAIN?!?! I don't see it anywhere. It's super late into the expansion to add the relic already. I really hope this ends up being worth the wait. I'm getting impatient :(

4.25, as it has always been. It is there to spread out content, not because of development delays.

Actually, relics have always been released at a .15 patch. So they are late in comparison. But they did mention Eureka won't be coming until 4.25 since about the beginning of SB (I think the latter is what you mean by "always been"?).

I am aware but we do not do maps all too often as a group so my retainers are always full and each time i gather... it is annoying as hell.
It is not asking for much and is easy enough to allow them to be stackable.
And why would they not want people to hoard maps? Last i checked the value has dropped significantly.
Anyhow it was just something myself and many players that gather would love to have as a QOL improvement

4.25 or later even i think. But at this point the devs probably (finally)realise they can't keep delaying it any longer, since we supposedly will have a LL in 2 weeks explaining Eureka.

you can hoard them buy mogmailing them to a friend who just mog mail them back
