Full patch notes are here

Anyone wants to speculate what this is:

Rowena's Token (soldiery) Other A note of promise received from Rowena for the delivery of Allagan tomestones of soldiery.

I hope is not something like exchanging the new tomes, Soldiery in exchange for current primal focus tokens, thus bypassing ex. primals to get weps :X

Given all of this stuff:

A host of new gear will be available in patch 2.2, offering players the edge they need to overcome the new challenges that await them. Among that new gear are Gerolt's masterworks, a new set of gear obtainable through the exchange of Allagan tomestones of soldiery.

From blacksmithing to carpentry to weaving, all these arts and more were mastered by Gerolt, the renowned artisan whose name once echoed through the halls of every workshop in Eorzea.

None could match his sense for form and function, his creations earning the acclaim of disciples of war and magic across the realm. All who sought the finest tools of their chosen profession had eyes only for those fashioned by his masterful hands.

But alas, the master would lose himself to the thralls of liquor, his legend left to sink to the bottom of his drinking glass. As years passed, his extant creations grew all the more valuable for their rarity, artifacts highly sought by the wealthiest collectors in the realm. And yet in recent days, an ever-increasing number of arms seemingly forged by his hand have surfaced. Could this be a sign of Gerolt's return, or merely the work of a forger who would shamelessly exploit the master's name for his own ill gain?

Rowena, the maven of munitions at Revenant's Toll, espouses that proof of an item's authenticity can be found in Gerolt's signature─the mark of Rhalgr, breaker of worlds─and indeed, the master's fervor for the god of destruction in his early years is widely known. Those who would possess true power would do well to seek those artifacts that bear this mark.

I'm going to guess that Rowena is involved in some middle step in either acquiring or upgrading the Gerolt's Masterworks weapons. Trade her soldiery tomes, get this token, do something with Gerolt, receive moar power.

If they do, they'll probably cost an arm and a leg, so while people have an option not to do the content, it'd be faster to just do it.

Thats also something RMT would buy off people genuinely selling em on AH and then re-sell em for even more ridiculous prices as a new way to found their business.

And we will have /tell like:
[WvW.cr4ppyRmT.sCAM] selling cheapest gil and Tomestone of soldiery for only 7.07$. G00D LUCK gfgk

They'd make them untradeable most likely. It shuts down the RMT and gives you a choice...actually do the content, or cap out on Soldierly for weeks in a row and not spend any of it to get one thing?
