Thread: 3.3 patch notes Full

Since some folks still seem to be confused, here's a simplified rundown of the scrip changes:
- BLUE SCRIPS can buy: All the things they bought before, and now they can also buy Rowena's Tokens (Blue Scrip).
- RED SCRIPS can buy: All the things they bought before, and now they can also buy Goblin items. Be careful not to buy Rowena's Tokens (Red Scrip) anymore! These are now a huge waste of Red Scrips (unless you're super hard-up for materia).
- ROWENA'S TOKENS (BLUE SCRIP) can buy: All the things Rowena's Tokens (Red Scrip) could buy before. Essentially, there is no longer a weekly cap on buying the previous endgame gear. It is also much easier, as Blue Scrips are much easier to come by.
- ROWENA'S TOKENS (RED SCRIP) can buy: Tier IV Materia and Rowena's Tokens (Blue Scrip). Basically, you can convert your old Red Scrip tokens into Blue Scrip tokens, and thereby purchase the same stuff you could buy with Red Scrip tokens before.
- GOBLIN ITEMS can buy: All the new gear. They are, essentially, the new Rowena's Tokens (Red Scrip).

I guess I'll use my stockpile of red tokens to buy the final two blue token fishing books I never cared to get? :/

Just as with DoM/DoW gear, SE works actively to discourage anyone from getting a big "head start" on higher-tier gear. This doesn't come as any surprise to me. It IS nice that they gave us something to do with our stored Red Scrip tokens.

THX Yoshida, for all the wasted of time i spent gathering or crafting to cap tokens weekly... ¬¬U..thanks so much!

Eh why are you surprised they do exactly the same to raiders, old gear becomes easier to get when new gear comes out.

Yea, I'm not surprised much either. Just wish they mentioned the Goblin items in the Preliminary notes, so we would know not to buy any tokens before the reset. I (now obviously) stupidly just assumed, since no mention of new "tokens", it would be more red tokens and bought all 9 weekly red tokens.

Heaven forbid you have to do new patch stuff to get new patch gear.
DoW/DoM don't get to save old tomestones to buy the newest stuff on new gear patches, why should DoH/DoL? At least if you have 450 scrips stockpiled you'll get to immediately use them on Thursday.

Guessing Glass Fiber is the moogle equivalent of Ehcatl Sealant to keep people from gearing up the new i190 stuff too fast. Them potion/food changes though, it's about time (potions anyway)
