Voidsent? Voidkin? Both?

I'll keep this short and sweet as I know you're busy.

Ability: Voidsent Eluder
Quest Item: Voidsent Blood
1.18 Jounal Entries: Voidkin

Are both used or does some updating need to be done one way or the other?

As you know, most of the other creatures in the game are categorized under groups such as seedkin (plants), wavekin (fish), cloudkin (birds), etc. However, the correct category here is voidsent (as the beings in question are 'sent from the void'). This bug just happens to be a case of us tripping over our own terminology.

Thanks (as always) for the great catch. The journal text will be updated and hopefully make its way into a patch very soon.

Thanks for clearing that up and giving me some hints; I've been getting ready to revamp the bestiary over at GamerEscape (Eorzeapedia) and figuring out what the correct mob terms are (Say, Wight vs. Skeleton or Angler vs. Orobon for example) and which categories of Kindred each fit into is driving me a little batty. :P

Updating the bestiary on the Official FFXIV site to include the various Eorzean taxonomical terms has been our to-do list for ages, but as you know, in-game content is top priority now, so everyone might have to wait a tad bit longer. Hopefully, though, the wait won't be too long.

In the meantime, did you know that the Official site bestiary was updated a few months back, introducing new Raimdelle Codex pages for about 20 monsters? Of course you did!

It is so cool that this is going on!
