Patch Notes are up!

Umm, so yea, happy reading. ^^

wow the Zodiac quest actually has multiple quests in it. The previous ones were just.. one ot two quests then trying to get the weapon.

"Impulse Drive Weaponskill direction requirements have been abolished, allowing combo bonuses when attacking from any position."
"Heavy Thrust Weapon skill direction requirements for the additional effect have been abolished."

Them positional requirements.. finally gone. Finally free from the horrors of turning bosses! Still they should have just let Heavy Thrust be its own Fist of Fire or Viper/Wasp if they were going to do that with it. In my opinion anyway.

[CGMidlander]

Woo, straight buffs!

Impulse Drive:
・Weaponskill direction requirements have been abolished, allowing combo bonuses when attacking from any position.
・Potency has been set at 180.
・This skill can now only be used by lancer and dragoon.

Heavy Thrust:
Weapon skill direction requirements for the additional effect have been abolished.

Full Thrust:
Combo potency has been increased from 330 to 360.

Phlebotomize:
Potency of the damage over time effect has been increased from 25 to 30.

Chaos Thrust:
・Potency increased by 50 when attacking from behind.
・Potency of the damage over time effect has been increased from 30 to 35.

Life Surge:
Enhanced Life Surge now reduces the recast time to 50 seconds.

Blood for Blood:
Additional damage taken after acquiring Enhanced Blood for Blood trait has been reduced from 25% to 15%. The 30% increase to damage dealt remains unaffected.

...and another Jump recast time improvement.

Jump: Recast time has been reduced from 40 to 30 seconds.

I wonder what the enhanced Shiva stuff is supposed to be?

Each player will now receive a piece of diamond dust upon completion of Akh Afah Amphitheatre (Extreme).
Exchange diamond dust with Aelina in Mor Dhona at Revenant's Toll (X:22 Y:6) to enhance one of the following items:

True Ice Brand / True Ice Claws / True Ice Axe / True Ice Spear / True Ice Bow / True Ice Daggers / True Ice Cane / True Ice Rod / True Grimoire of Ice / True Codex of Ice / True Ice Shield

EDIT: Ah, i115 Diamond stuff.

Those Dragoon buffs are pretty insane but then again compared to the dps output of other jobs it makes sense.

[silentwindfr]

well dragoon have gone from easy to very easy to master now.... i dunno if it's all good, time will tell.
on other point, the ninja was hit badly by the nerf, the damage buff don't affect the ninjutsu anymore... meaning a net loose on any ninjutsu skill of 20% damage. that quite severe for skill that can only be used every 20 second and recquire the mudra (that are heavily affected by the lag)

[Squintina]

Let the praise and complaining both begin!

I'm happy about:
The items required in exchange for goods from Talan in Mor Dhona at Revenant's Toll (X:21 Y:6) have been adjusted as follows:
So us newer crafters can catch up a little

[Altijacek]

These patch notes just make me sad wah...

Well I'm excited about buffs and new relics but I really have to work on my relic

[Houston009]

Look at the new Relic(zodiac?) weapon names.

[ATEX]

I guess in theory the cost of Master Demi and FC III's should be halved soon.

[Cyrus-Wallace]

Wow, the requirements for the crafting stuff dropped like... to the ground. I like it.
