Thread: Patch 4.0 Notes (Preliminary)

That being said, I spotted this from the GamerEscape interview:


Yep, it's definitely a thing... not sure how to feel about that...

Well, I'm dissapointed.
If only for the fact that the available roulettes I can use with black mage have been cut in half.


Until I can glamor a 1h scepter over a 2h staff, then I refuse to take Black Mage into 51+ content.
As the highest level Scepter available is level 50.

Thus, 50 roulette now has level 60 dungeons in it.
Leaving me with only main scenario roulette for Black Mage.


Though I suppose I may be able to do pvp with it, since that's glamor only gear now...

Use the staff in the roulettes, then switch to the wand for RP???

Wait, you actually liked the ugly scepter look? I was glad when they removed them from the scene, but I suppose it takes all kinds to make this world work.

Looking at fishers skills they get 1 called salvage.. curious to what it is.. might be able to fish up some kind of treasures perhaps?

Or just another skill to get treasure maps??

Players will now be synced to level 60 when entering the Aquapolis.

Does this mean we will be 60 but can be ilvl 270? Can't remember if if they have put an ilvl sync on a level cap sync.


Emotes used in the Aquapolis immediately before the gate selection cutscene will no longer be canceled.


Was this for video purposes or were people using emotes to somehow cheat doors? Seems like a small thing to worry about when so much else is going on.

Anyone know when the live reading is of the final notes?

Not a clue, but I'm wondering why the full patch notes aren't released yet. The Lodestone indicated they'd be made available at 7pm PDT, which was roughly 20 minutes ago, and no word on an update that I could find.
