"New prizes are available for purchase using MGP.
* Players can now purchase certain prizes that were available during the Make it Rain Campaign in previous years."

Wonder if the hairstyle will be finally out!
Or will be like a triple triad card. :P

Probably the hairstyle they said they were going to make it available. I would think it's a good bet.

No more getting Satasha as a party of all 70+ now in Leveling Roulette.

The meme is now ded.

Interviews said it would be the hairstyle.

Resplendent tools have been added for Disciples of the Hand.
These main hand tools can be acquired after crafting and submitting items from certain expert recipes.

Tool Exchange
The required materials must be exchanged with Limbeth in Eulmore (X:11.6 Y:10.9) to receive a resplendent tool.
It should be noted that more than one expert recipe will be required to prepare all necessary materials. The number and types of material required can be confirmed by speaking with Limbeth.

* Expert recipes can be learned from 8th-level master recipe books.

Relic stuff should NOT require some of the hardest content that the segment has to offer.

That's like requiring the DoW relic to complete savage level content in order to finish it.

IMHO this is bad design.

Meme is very much still alive if you use leveling roulette. The change only applies to pre-formed parties.

The relic being easy never should have happened in the first place.

On the XIV Twitter, they posted that they were making Rainmaker available that way, so yes. Interested to see what else will be there since I already have it.

From what has been said in Live Letters, this isn't relic stuff though, it's something they added for crafters who want some extra challenge and they get fancy tools for it. It's more akin to Savage mount drops or, if they have better stats, savage gear.

I'm not seeing the light buffs to DRG and WAR. I could have sworn they said those were in the patch.

Those Bozja changes! Debuffs to the enemies when fewer players are there, Castrum respawns faster when you complete Critical Engagements and Skirmishes, several CEs will not spawn at the same time, and the Notoriety number to increase the odds of getting into Duels. Absolutely beautiful!

They NEVER post job changes until the servers are down for matienance. You won't see those until Monday night.

Anyway I'm actually very excited for the Bozja changes, feels like the way it should have been before. Also excited for the amount of rewards available almost right away to work towards.

While I'd much rather have a queueing system for Castrum, that fix is better than nothing.

I'd still like some sort of timer on when the last one was completed or when the next one is coming vs having to zone into an instance and have multiple people asking "Is Castrum up?"

I still find it funny that people ask if Castrum is up when 60% of the time, yes, it's currently going AND YOU CAN SEE THE SYMBOL ON THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THE MAP. I do wish they'd look at the map before asking.

I havent really touched Bozja much, but id wager it stems from ppl loading in, waiting for the games screen to stop being black. (i know i get like 30s to type, while not being able to see/open the map)

I'm not sure whether to facepalm or applaud that one. Do you think this whole thing was to set up more puns?

No, Koji Fox would find new ones anyway. Do not underestimate his power.

Lol, someone was asking for 2B's hair not that long ago and now we get it! xD Plus 9S' too, but I'm not sure how I feel about that one since it looks pretty much just like the Shadowbringers hairstyle Derplander wears.

So the new housing exterior. I could of sworn there was a staircase like to a balcony. This model I don’t see it. Did they change it?

It seems so, I took a screenshot of the house in the video and there's certainly a staircase there.

Do we know it's only pre-formed? The patch notes don't specify but they do mention only the leader's settings matter, so that does sound like pre-formed. I hope so, since I wouldn't want to be forced to do just ShB duties all the time in Leveling just because I'm 80 and get matched with other 80s.

The picture in the patch notes might not be the same plot size as the one shown in the LL. I know there's some slight differences between small/medium/larges.

Yes, the patch notes say you have to have a complete party to use the Limited Leveling Roulette setting:

Minimum size requirements as a term confuses me. If it's say a dungeon and you have four people wouldn't that be the maximum party size?

It's also the minimum size requirement. The only way you can go in with less is to use the undersized option to bypass party size requirements.

It's a little odd, but this game can be weird on wording. Also allowing it for people queuing as less than 4 players would hurt queue times for lower level dungeons. This won't affect it much as it is only an option for groups that aren't going to be helping with random people's queue times anyway.

I think it could still work without affecting queue times, it would just require forming the party before deciding on the duty. If four level 80s end up together in leveling roulette, they can avoid Satasha for example, but if you get a level 20 in the party, you'd still get a low level dungeon.

It would reduce the chance of high level players getting low level dungeons but still leaving the door open for people queueing in specifically for them to not have high queue times.

If that’s only for large homes I’m so not gonna be happy as I’m sure allot of players who enjoy housing won’t be.

I'm still waiting for a Garlean or Allagan exterior. I won't be completely satisfied until one or both of those become a reality.

I see what you’re saying but I don’t agree sadly. Usually exterior homes all have the same look. Slight differences yes but that comes with size. It shouldn’t change the look of the home. I expect to see the same staircase for all home sizes. If it’s only for large homes I’m not gonna be happy. First off they don’t even give us allot of large homes to begin with and then throw salt on the wound to give only large homes the staircase. No bueno.

Yeah it’s definitely there. At first I thought maybe it was a furnishing and that’s why it wasn’t in the new picture but this definitely looks actually attached to the house.

Yeah they certainly look the same except for the stairs. It Is in a different plot because of the camera angle, but can anyone tell if the LL one is a Large plot? They look the same size to me.

EDIT: No, wait, the roof is all different, they must be different sizes, then.

I believe that is plot 30/60 in the Goblet. I had 25 at one point (medium) which was close to it, which means that is a large.

The one in the patch notes is probably a small or medium by the look of things. Guessing medium by the yard layout.

Every patch that we do not get glamour closets and Archaeology is another day that FF14 does not live up to its full potential if you ask me. Entire sets of content get ignored because of a full glamour box which is amazingly silly. I just wish they would finish designing the system they started 7 years ago.

This is a huge slap in the face to housing players if this is true. They don’t even have allot of larges in wards and for them to only give the staircase to large homes. Huge slap in the face if this is true....

This would be ideal. I can't help but wonder if there's some weirdness in how and when in the process it selects the duty that prevents this, that they can only circumvent when the whole matchmaking process is removed. This might be another victim of the bizarre code the game is built on.

Expert crafts really aren't that hard... monotonous certainly, hard not at all.
