4.25 Patch Notes are Up

[Texa]

SE is getting weirder and weirder with these mounts. The Flying X-mas bear was odd enough, the White Elephant mount (from the anata beast tribe questline) topped that. A flying dinosaur...I'm not even gonna imagine it flying, my brain would hurt.

Birds are dinosaurs so it's not as weird as the bear.

[Soge01]

Like, the dinosaur springs a rocket jet pack out of its back while flapping its arms, pretending its flying all on its own? But seriously, I wanna see those tiny little arms help it take flight! LMAOFOREVERRRRRRR!!!!! X'D

yes you get 20 lvls to put between 6 elements that each lvl up to 5 each

I don't think this is right.

It sounds like your elemental level is 1-20, in general, to correspond with monster elemental level. To get affinity, you need to meld magicite to the board, which we get through the eureka story. We can only change that in town through the magia melder, but we can spin the board so we can change elements in the field. So if we set five fire magicite, but get jumped by a wind enemy, we can change to whatever wind is weak to so it doesn't eat us as bad. But we can only decrease or increase the fire total and put it on wind in town.

Idk, theres some subtle stuff in there. Like we need protean crystals to upgrade gear, but it also says we need specific items which they don't name. I hope to god these aren't the same as past relic steps, bought w tomes.

New furnishing and new minions. I found my motivation for this patch.
Re: Eureka, the battle system doesn't seem THAT complicated, guess we'll have to go in and see what all the fuss is really about. I'm still lowkey hoping the Notorious Monsters count for the hunt achievs like some rumors I heard, but not holding my breath.

Atma 4.0

Monster = Fate
Protean Crystal = Atma

I'm not looking forward to it

[Amitria]

No more Warrior critical equilibrium heal from inner release...? ;-;

[Musashidon]

I don't think this is right.

The magia board is divided into six sections, each representing a different element. Melding magicite to the board will enhance the player's affinity to a given element. Magicite is earned by progressing through the Eureka story.

relooking at the patch notes at this part specifically it would seem you are right.

[Vahlnir]

Atma 4.0

Monster = Fate
Protean Crystal = Atma

I'm not looking forward to it

It's a little too soon to tell, but just about anything's on the table right now.

[MomomiMomi]

Atma 4.0

Monster = Fate
Protean Crystal = Atma

I'm not looking forward to it

This was what I thought as well when I saw Protean Crystals.

... you have got to be kidding. Their solution to the constant complaints about healers being severely overpowered in PvP was to buff White Mage. They really are clueless.

WHM was already hard enough to kill, might as well make it unkillable?
