Thread: Patch 2.4 Notes - Preliminary

To make the new crafting set you would need well over 15 of the new beast man tribe item but that new item cost 8 beast men coins each? Am I looking at that right?

Goad: Refreshes TP of a single party member. Duration: 30s

So~~~ ROG is the new RDM? lol...

Also that Mug ability, I guess it'll be the new go-to farmer over Holy spam.

I like the buff to Fieldcraft 3 generation by making artisan tokens able to be desynthed. Time to make a couple of stacks of Rose Gold Cogs for patch day. I shudder to think about HQ'ing the supra tokens though. Also, did they leave out the Ninja Dreadwyrm gear? It's clearly visually distinct from the mnk and the brd set, but it isn't list in the items as it should be.

People just bought ALL the mastercraft demimaterias in Sargatanas.

I'm referring to their obvious inclusion from XI, as the effects are, more or less, the same from XI but just swapped with each other.

VII didn't have positional awareness during battle (not referring to back or pincer attacks, as they really doesn't have anything to do with actually moving during battle).

Lots of their abilities are from XI, so it's only natural to assume that attacks like Gust Slash, Aeolian Edge, SATA, TA, Kiss of the Wasp (Wasp Sting), etc., would do similar results in XIV as a lot of elements have been drawn from said game, but this is like, a 180 in terms of what SATA and TA do.

I didn't see traits listed. So there's a possibility of them getting a trait that allows its use in combat. Now watch it be on a 30 or 60 second cooldown to avoid just spamming it.

Is it me or does the new tome gear look just as bad??

The crafted gear looks good but the tome....doesn't seem to have improved from the soldiery looks one bit.... and why is bard barely ever shown...its like were that child nobody wants to admit they own or something...

Well, Suiton gives the effect, Suiton. Now this is just some connecting the dots, but if you watch the Anniversary ninja gameplay video, you will see that after using Suiton (Giant Waterspout jutsu), 2 darkened skills become useable. We will get confirmation on patch day, but it seems like Suiton lets you use hidden skills in battle.

This is true. Guess we'll have to wait for the full patch notes.

"Head of the Dreadwyrm" so yeah... guess that settles what the final turn of coil is...
