Patch Notes are up!

[Songi]

Ilvl sync was broken in the fact that it made all materia from crafted gear rendered null and void: useless. Pretty much punished players for wearing crafted gear of any kind. Also made i110 gear useless as well which was totally stupid considering the gear isn't useful for much content outside of final coil.

"Item level sync has been removed from the following dungeons:
The Wanderer's Palace / Amdapor Keep / Pharos Sirius / Copperbell Mines (Hard) / Haukke Manor (Hard) / Brayflox's Longstop (Hard) / Halatali (Hard) / The Lost City of Amdapor / Hullbreaker Isle / 'The Tam-Tara Deepcroft (Hard) / The Stone Vigil (Hard)

* Item level sync is scheduled to be reinstated in patch 2.5. At this time, materia bonuses will be granted to gear whose item level is below the item level sync threshold in PvE encounters."

<_< Wait so was someone having an issue beating the content in i120 gear?

They were having issues with all their materia being deactivated in crafted gear if they had so much as i111, regardless of what gear was pushing them above i110.

Wonder what these new aged and perfect items are for? Perhaps its the "spoiler" items?

they removed it because it wasn't working properly. Noticed it once while in an item synced dungeon that while it claimed it would sync the gear, if you opened the character screen you'd see it wasn't actually synced.

Relic. Wouldn't be surprised.

"* A number of newly-added items have been omitted from the patch notes to prevent in-game spoilers for the Zodiac Weapon quests. The patch notes will be updated with the names of these items after an upcoming Hot Fix.

Excalibur Gladiator's Arm Item Level: 125 / Equipment Level: 50"

Claims to be omitting names to prevent Zodiac Weapon spoilers, first item listed: EXCALIBUR

I guess whatever they're hiding must be even MOAR epic.

I just got my GSM 70 mainhand like 3 days ago! lol
Spend all day mining gold ore and making the nuggets

Relic is still barely enticing for people who are just starting just now and while I understand an i125 weapon shouldn't be just handed out, considering the generous Shiva offer it's kinda odd.

Dese DRG changes.

Admittedly, I'll be sticking to NIN unless our local DRGs' output starts plowing through the roof over 70 net potency or so.

Big fan of the Shiva EX weapon upgrade. The i110 was worthless on arrival, and now we have an option for people who don't have access to T9 farm statics and the obscene relic grind.

Didn't even need to hit i111, my war alt who is just now @ 105 average lost all his materia from i90 accessories.

i'm the only one hoping for moar relic quest, if not the i125 is... low :x
especially when you count the number of hours for reach this point.
