Preliminary patch notes up.

Oooh, spell speed now affects healing over time. We knew damage, but healing! Awesome.

Hopefully WHM will finally have a secondary stat as valuable to them as Crit is to SCH currently. Right now all of them are kinda "meh" for WHM.

*Liking the streamlining of Relic/Zodiac quests. Closing in on Nexus for Yoshimitsu at the moment and will resume work on Thyrus to see how much faster I can bulid it.

*Don't mind restricting map acquisition on FSH to an ability. It's a real buzzkill to forget about your map timer and hook a Leather Map while looking for fish.

*Teraflare for SMN. Teraflare for SMN!

*More Poetics is nice but I wonder if the Magitek weapons will still be worth buying, if only as starter weapons for Ishgard.

*Any action against RMT is a welcome one, and I'm certain legit players on the free trial can still be added to others' Friend List.

*Spell speed would be worth something AFTER I changed my stats on the Apocalypse to Det./Crit. Hit Rate.

They should still be good until 55.

Yeah, I don't really see this as a problem. They meet new people, get invited to a FC, and make new friends. A legit player would just have to send a quick /tell asking the person to add to friendslist. The only real issue is if both players are on trial accounts. But c'est la vie.

No, it does not. It means more than 3.

For whatever it's worth...

Sorry if it's been mentioned, but did I read correctly zither new tomestones can't be collected until you reach level 60?

[Kaedan94]

No, you're wrong. VorpalSpork is correct. 3人以上 means 3 or more people. So the patch notes line up fine.

So far, sounds nice...

i really welcome the trade in of all that old stuff, inventory will be so empty i already rejoice ^^

what i miss are the "xy locked behind housing, 2nd class players, blah blah" threads...

6 retainer at the price they are per month is clearly too much.... it increase a lot your sub per month... if they do this, they need to reduce the price or....
as legacy i pay 9.99 euro per month, with 6 retainer at 1 euro per month, it reach 15.99 euro per month... kinda bad :x

that's like a pizza/month? clearly very expensive.

that's like a pizza/month? clearly very expensive.

after verification, for the european price: the 6 retainer will be 10.80 euro (1.80 euro x6), for the low cost account it's 10.80 per month... for make simple, someone that want the 6 additional retainer it will double him fee.... 21.60 euro per month.... kinda bad. the fact we pay a sub fee is for avoid this sort of cash grab... no sub mmorpg did survive passed the 15 euro per month.

we can argue that it's optional and such, the trouble is to allows this sort of service to come in a sub game. i will not enter into the debat that it can be considered like pay 2 win (what it can be if you count that the 6 additional retainer offer 120 slot for sell stuff what will give you a clear advantage over the auction house, but it's not my style then don't concern me much)

outside this most of the patch note seems nice, but this point really need to be adressed, because nothing explain that we can double our sub fee per month, because of an optional systeme!
