Thread: 3.3 patch notes Full

What I want to know is this a 300 win out of frontline or will it start over. Talking about the mount.

These patch notes make me glad I've got 500 red gathering scrip saved up, 500 red crafting scrip saved up, as well as 98 each of both types of red tokens.

Really, those of us who stockpiled tokens should be happy, for all the Materia we can get now. And with the low 500 cap on total held red scrips (per type) it made a certain amount of sense to stockpile them for a little over one week's reset worth.

Of course, with the crafting/gathering stuff coming out on THURSDAY as opposed to today, you still have time to get yours stockpiled, unless you've already gotten your 450 crafting and 450 gathering red scrips this Thursday->Thursday week.

Ok. Since crafting is my life in this game, I want to make sure I understand this correctly.

The goblin stuff is used to augment what was (formerly) the red scrip gear to make it i200 and therefore BiS without a huge outlay of cash on overmelding.

Blue crafters tokens are now used to buy the stuff used to make the all purpose 190 gear.

Also do I understand right that the old red scrip tools are now easier to get? Because I'm using adamantite still on some things.

They can be purchased with 12 Blue Token down from 26 Red Tokens. The Counterfoils seem to be unchanged.

The i200 goblin-enhanced gear is the new use for red scrips. Old -keep gear is now buyable with blue scrips + counterfoils then enhanced using items bought with red scrips.

Blue crafters tokens are now used to buy the stuff used to make the all purpose 190 gear.

The new all-purpose i170 gear uses blue scrip-purchased carbon fiber.
No one knows yet how to obtain the items needed for the crafted i190 gear (e.g. luminous fiber mats like glass fiber/meteorite/crystallized sap). Likely a combination of moogle vendor/high rank DoL reduction. There doesn't seem to be any connection between red scrips and the i190 gear.

Also do I understand right that the old red scrip tools are now easier to get? Because I'm using adamantite still on some things.

All -keep gear is now purchaseable with blue scrips + the counterfoils, and blue scrip yield was increased so yes much easier.

Those new OrchesTrion rolls make me wish you didn't have to be a high end crafter to make your music. Oh well. Have to let crafting have some relevance which I understand.

Orchestrion*. Ty for not having edit options on mobile SE.

Disappointed the full patch notes still didn't say how much the ARR beast tribes reputation quests are being boosted by.

As someone who did them back when they came along ... I really do not see any need for this. IMO they needed more allowances, not bigger faction gains. The faction gains were designed to take you 30 days if you focused six allowances on the tribe, and about 45 (IIRC) days if you only used 3 allowances on that tribe.

We should be going on to 24 allowances, 3 per tribe. There are 5 ARR tribes, and now 3 HWtribes.
