Full Patch Notes are here!

Its about time...

[Jodou]

That's 10 weapons, 1 shield, 42 body pieces, 20 accessories = 73 pieces in total. I wonder how that will be divided up between the turns?

Poorly. They're really behind in MMO quality of loot distribution.

"The drop rate for Atma crystals required for the quest "Trials of the Braves" has been increased."

It probably won't stop Atma from being a mindlessly boring grind, so I doubt it will entice people who don't currently have an atma, but have a soldiery weapon instead, to 'upgrade' on the horrendous zodiac quest route.

One thing that bothers me is in reading the Rogue skills. Did anyone else notice that their iconic attack Sneak Attack is an incredibly potent skill, doing 500 potency damage? Yet comes with the ridiculous caveat of being utterly useless? It can't be executed in combat as it relies on Hide, so it's no use in boss fights or dungeons. Trick attack shares the same problem, and there's no traits which make it possible to use Hide in combat as it states below "The above ability descriptions are representative of a level 50 character and include enhancements from available traits."

Kind of a downer, if you ask me.

1 Chest: 10 Weapons

63 items and 7 chests remaining

63/7 = 9 items per chest

problem solved

Not really, I liked XI's setup for it, even when they moved purely towards currency/quest based upgrading. So SE isn't behind the curve, Yoshi just wanted to copy the wrong system for XIV.

[Songi]

2 pieces of loot per boss is totally unacceptable. There's not a single good reason for this at all.

NIN's Suiton self-buff is supposed to make SATA usable without the need for Hide, I heard.

EDIT: Also I don't see why you can't use it as an opener in dungeons and boss fights. It shouldn't be that hard to active Hide before a trash pull, or before your tank pulls the boss.

[tocsin]

I'm pretty sure people have deduced the drop rates to be roughly 2-3%, and Yoshi-P said at LV FanFest that drop rates are going to be more than doubled...maybe somewhere between 5-7.5% now?

If it helps, Yoshi said on the Live stream that Atma drop rates were increased by 5x. so if it was 2% before, its 10% now.

Because, generally speaking, OPENING a fight with a massive attack is the dumbest most retarded thing a DPS can do. Guaranteed to annoy every tank in the history of tanking ever.

[Amelia_Pond_Behemoth]

i think accessories are only aiming.
nin gets scouting, cause of dex, and sharing gear with BRD, would be weird.

But what if I want to sneak around Eorzea wearing Amon's hat?
