◆ FINAL FANTASY XIV HotFix (Jul. 6, 2017) ◆

■The following adjustment has been made:
･To alleviate Duty Finder congestion, the Adventurer in Need bonus for Duty Roulette: Leveling will now grant additional rewards.
･Additional Reward:
Cracked Cluster

*Participation as Disciple of War or Magic of level 60 or higher is required.
*"Cracked Cluster" is scheduled to be displayed in the Adventurer in Need reward section in Patch 4.05.



Looks like they really want people to meld their gear if they're giving us the opportunity to farm as much Grade 6 Materia as you want assuming you can fill the Adventurer in Need.

Thoughts on this?


EDIT #1: Since people seems to be confused if the hotfix is actually working, I'll copy a line from the link again:


Cracked Cluster is scheduled to be displayed in the Adventurer in Need reward section in Patch 4.05.

This means that the roulette currently does not show the Cracked Cluster as a reward, but you WILL receive it if you completed the duty as the role stated in the Adventurer in Need.

It sounds like adding to the carrot for queueing as a tank (or healer if tanks aplenty swarm in and change venturer in need to healer).

I think it's being used in levelling as a test ground, and then push it out to other roulettes to try and encourage further participation of tanks/healers. But, we all know it'll backfire because most of the people playing DPS, are doing it specifically because they don't want to tank/heal. They want to deal damage. So it'll only further reward those already doing it (such as myself), which I feel will just further divide the playerbase.

I guess I won't be doing leveling roulette with my friends anymore. lol

Only take 2 friends, and DF that 4th person. That is enough to keep the bonus applied. It is only fully premade parties (as in, 4 people in a party together queueing for levelling roulette as an example) that it nullifies the adventurer in need bonus.

It's a good reward since it has limit per day and rewards people who sacrifice and protect for others (the role of a tank is to sacrifice and protect).

Actually you can get the Adventurer in Need reward as many times per day as you wish. The bonus that's locked to the daily timer is the Tomestones.

I wish it was exp potion....
This is going to hurt Hunts tho..
but on the bright side... Materia 6 price will drop like no tomorrow.

it's adventurer in need bonus.. that means I can run it as a tank 100 times a day and farm 100 cluster.

I personally like this a lot.

I don't have the resources or the time to get Grade VI's with the other options available to us, so this is a nice little reward for doing what I usually do anyway.

[Ghastly]

Oh I see, at least the dungeon is random so people can't just run the easiest one. Sadly this will ruin the point of doing hunts for me...a little bit since you can just do a roulete and get that easier. I still like the idea/reward though so I can live with it.

I doubt you can do 100 dungeons a day. If you need clusters, just hunt, you can probably do 3-4 A ranks in a time it takes one dungeon, and all new hunts drop VI materia.

This is my 2 cent.

Its not gonna help that much, it just gonna make everyone play tank for leveling DR
Tanks was never the problem (on my server), problem was to many DPS was queuing cause everyone play that rn
So Adventure in Need will 99% of the time be tanks
aka only tanks will get the clusters

Why not add it was a daily reward for just using the DR so everyone can get 1?
