・The rate at which soulglazed relic weapons achieve soul attunement has been increased.

-The drop rate for Alexandrite when completing a FATE with a gold rating while equipped with an animus, novus, or nexus weapon has been increased.

How did you miss that?

I'm stupid.

Pretty sure that there is a fair chance that the secret trial has us fighting an Ascian since one of the requirements happens somewhere in the middle of the main scenario quest chain. That, and both are tied to the same NPC. xD

Yup

Achievement Requirements
Secret Ascian Man Defeat ??? in ???.

Maybe it won't be Lahabrea Extreme as I'd hoped in one of the earlier threads but still (probably) one dead Ascian coming up.

Unfortunately there won't be anything extreme about it since it is included in trial roulette, was hoping the mystery trial would be on the extreme side of difficulty.

I wonder if Miqo'te will be able to use the Lala twintail hair. The non-cat ear part of the hair is kind of exposed compared to what usually Miqo'te hair looks like.

Maybe one day they can make alex a currency for materia or something. I already have 110+ granted ill be using some for a relic later. But there's got to be many people like me that are way ahead on alex and could use a place to spend them. Materia seems like a great option for it to go into, to help people get that maxed out relic they want so bad. And bring down materia prices a little bit. If done right it could help with prices, and not make it stupid cheap, and no longer profitable for the sellers. Hell they could make it where you can attempt to use alex in place of the materia you put into the weapon, so say use 2 alex, instead of 1 alex + 1 materia. But significantly increase the chance of breaks. That could work, but would require some lore.. Or bring x number of alex to the materia goblin(forgot his name) and he will attempt to create the materia you need, with high chance of failure. A side note, they likely should change alex to stack at 999. I'm guessing its going to drop like atma does now.

I still don't see any adjustment to dungeon drops. They've said in many interviews somewhere that they know there is a big problem with gear not dropping in dungeons, its just giving crafting materials most of the time. Did lost city the other day, and saw two filtered water after a boss. I'm thinking really, why have crafting stuff drop from both chests? Either add a third chest for gear, and leave the other 2 as is. Or make one exclusive to crafting and one to gear. Obviously for single chest boss's similar changes need to be done. It sucks if people are trying to gear up this way. It should be a little easier imo. So its nice to see new dungeon gear, but I doubt we will see a full set anytime soon.

Also this is prelim notes, so maybe there's some more awesome stuff we are missing.
