This is the usual end-of-tier nerf patch which removes the weekly restriction on Savage loot and allows you to buy the weapon upgrades outside of Savage by using a Yohra coin.

Patch 5.2 title is Echoes of a Fallen Star. Coming mid-February.
  • Sidequest: The Sorrow of Werlyt
  • Trial: The Ruby Weapon
  • Trial 2: ???
  • Dungeon: Anamnesis Anyder
  • Beast Tribe: Qitari (Qiqirn, DoL)
  • Raid: Eden's Verse (includes Ramuh remix)
  • Bozja Weapons: The new 'relics'
  • Skysteel Tools: DoH/DoL get upgradeable quest tools too
  • Diadem: DoL content, no battles, don't need fuel tanks
  • Fishing: Ride a ship out to join new Ocean Fishing challenge
  • MSQ and Ishgardian Restoration continue

System Changes
  • Equipment is no longer destroyed when converting spiritbond into materia.
  • Can meld materia without specific class reqs, only need to lv one DoH class to meld on all types of gear.
  • YOU WILL NO LONGER NEED A DOH PARTY FOR FC PROJECTS, can finally complete building projects solo.
Thanks for this.

Not thrilled about the savage change. Still means you need to do it to get the i460 wep but that's just a personal gripe of mine.

That very last one is good for smaller FCs who don't have more than 3 active crafters/players with craft classes unlocked.
