Thread: [patch1.19] Patch 1.19 Notes

System

• [dev1169] Information displayed on the Timers tab (located under Attributes in the main menu) has been changed.
  
  
• [dev1012] The following changes have been made to player inventories:
  • The optimal levels of items will appear in different colors as below based on the difference between them and your character's level:
    
    

    Six or more levels above character level
    Up to five levels above character level
    Equal to or up to five levels below character level
    Six or more levels below character level

    Accompanying this change, gear that previously had no level requirements will now display "Required Level: 1"
    
  • Class affinity as shown in the help text of gear will now change colors depending on the player's current class.
    
  • Item names will be color-coded based on rarity.
    
    
    
    
    
  • Grand Company seals will be displayed under the Currency tab.
    
  • The following item sort categories have been added:
    • Sort: Off
    • Sort: Gear First
    • Sort: Materials First
    Select Toggle Sort to cycle through: Off → Gear First → Materials First → Off
    Mouse users can also cycle through the above by clicking the text located on the upper right corner of the inventory display.
    
    
  • The following controls have been added to the inventory:
    • Keyboard/gamepad directional keys (↑↓): Move cursor up and down
    • Keyboard Page Up & Page Down/gamepad button assigned to the main menu + directional keys (↑↓): Scroll pages
    • Keyboard/gamepad directional keys (←→):
      • When sorting is off: Jump ten items
      • When sorting is on (Gear First or Materials First): Jump to next item type
  • The way in which currently equipped items are identified has been changed.
    In the past, currently equipped items would have their names displayed in green. With the introduction of new text colors to indicate item rareness, equipped items will instead be identified via a mark next to their icons and a lighter background for their names.
    
    
    
  • A new mark will now appear on the icons of gear the player is unable to equip due to class/level constraints.
    
    
    
  • Help text for gear has been revised in conjunction with the introduction of materia.

    Players who possess the key items materia assimilator, materia melder, and augmented materia melder will see an icon next to the spiritbond gauge indicating whether that item can be converted into materia. The icon will appear to spin for gear whose spiritbond value has reached 100%.
    
    
    Furthermore, information indicating whether the item is convertible into or can host materia will appear to the right of said icon.

    
    
  • The item list displayed during trading has been adjusted.
    The following types of items will be displayed upon a yellow background:
    1. Items being selected for trade.
    2. Items offered as rewards for items being sought.
    3. Items offered as rewards for items for which repairs are being sought.
  
  
• [dev1170] The following changes have been made to player journals:
  • Journal maps will now display aetheryte camps, markers, and other facilities.
  • Guildleve icons will display the class to which they correspond.

  Class	Icon
  Disciples of War & Magic
  Miner
  Botanist
  Fisher
  Carpenter
  Blacksmith

  Goldsmith
  Leatherworker
  Weaver
