Patch Notes are up!

[Karen_Cerfrumos]

Relic is still barely enticing for people who are just starting just now and while I understand an i125 weapon shouldn't be just handed out, considering the generous Shiva offer it's kinda odd.

i'm the only one hoping for moar relic quest, if not the i125 is... low :x
especially when you count the number of hours for reach this point.

Liking the patch notes for the most part, but it doesn't make any sense to increase Shiva weapons ilevel to i115. It's the easiest primal and now it rewards something as good as T9. Say goodbye to all those T9 farm parties. SE made the same mistake back then by making Leviathan the easy primal and rewarding as good as T5. No one bothered farming T5 after. You either adjust the primal difficulty or adjust the rewards. There's so much imbalance.

Edit - and where's the nerf to previous relic quests? I was expecting at least some changes to books for Animus, it's so outdated now.

People make those? Excal is already over trying to pubfarm HA weaps because the increase is slight and anyone can get a minmaxed Nexus. All the T9's out have been late-phase practice/clear groups.

Depends on a server. "anyone can get a Nexus", yeah, after hours upon hours of Alexandrite and light farming.

That depends on what kind of stats you're looking for. I personally find HA WHM/SCH/BLM/BRD/DRG weapons are still worth farming for. That and t9 is already started to get outdated.

A lot of players are wasting precious time farming weapons from T9 when they should be instead trying to get statics or groups for Final Coil after their initial clear. The Shiva weapon change will definitely boost the number of Final Coil ready players across servers which is a good thing.

New dye on cash shop?? WTH?! why don't just place it on quick venture... Also the new requirement to get the new Artisan primary equipment reduced significantly lol.

"Each player will now receive a piece of diamond dust upon completion of Akh Afah Amphitheatre (Extreme)."

Well, time to get back into Shiva EX again. Kind of wish it was like this in the first place, but Shiva EX is easy and fun enough and at least it won't be as irritating as farming Leviathan for mirror's.

Is this a typo about Spirits of Salts not being exchangeable for Glasses?
