The other thing is how gil from mobs works. It's split. If you finish WP, and go back and solo any beetles that your group didn't spawn, you get all the gil the whole group would, ie around 200 gil a pop. But as others have said, I kill them mostly for SB, since they give the same amount as any other mob in WP, but are far easier to kill.

Oh wow, wish I knew that before this patch happened

The following changes have been made to gathering points (GP).
-Players will now also accumulate GP when playing as a Disciple of War, Magic, the Hand.
-GP will no longer reset when changing to a non-gathering class.

No one else is excited about this? >_>

Well, no penalized players if full pre-made party. But geez... thanks BOTs, you destroyed a small but useful income.

The patch notes are ok, I read them all and I agree with those fixes. I really liked the "vote abandon" buttom. It makes the decision better for the group, since no one will have to sacrifice himself to let the others leave the instance. I also liked the increasement of the beastribes item's price.

think before complaining, this is the equivalent of story mode Ifrit/Titan.. Hard mode will come at a later time, so they can milk content 3 times in a row!

edit: They didn't really nerf summoners. Miasma is still great. -40% heavy is the main reason I use it, really easy to kite people.

The following balance adjustments apply only to the Wolves' Den:
The PvP action Weapon Throw will trigger additional effects regardless of positioning.
Arcanist and Summoner can no longer use the spell Resurrection.
The status effect Disease no longer inflicts the heavy effect.
In order to prevent unbalanced party compositions when using the duty finder, the following changes to party requirements have been made only for the Wolves' Den.

SMN can no longer inflict heavy in pvp

More like I dont understand. Can we gather without being a DoL now? GP resetting is more like a fix. Then again, I dont use DoLs so I dont know.

D: Why is 'Demagogue mask may be dyed to another color' in the Confirmed Bugs part? A few other (former) AK pieces could be dyed too... why can't we just dye all of them?

Just wait for the EX version in 2.2...

I do, I have more DoL and DoH classes than DoW and DoM classes and it was REALLY frustrating to lose all my GP because I wanted to change to a DoH class for a small/quick craft. I forgot to mention it, but yes, it's a nice change and it will make my gathering a bit faster.
