Thread: Patch 4.2 Notes (Preliminary)

* Transformed gear cannot be returned to your inventory or Armoury Chest.
* Glamours stored in the dresser cannot be applied to adventurer squadron NPCs.
* Some gear cannot be transformed into a glamour.

Glamour Storage Limit

The dresser can hold a total of 200 glamours regardless of equipment type. Once this limit has been reached, glamours in the dresser must be destroyed before new glamours can be added.

I feel lied to.

You put an item into it and it will forever be a glamour item, if you have 200 glam items you will need to delete something to add another.

And here I was struggling to decide whether to take SMN or SCH to Eureka. Guess I know now.

But, for shit's sake. Eureka's been delayed (as in, actually pushed back) 3 times now. Not for any 4.1 patches after being announced for it, and now we have to wait another month into 4.2 for our BiS weapon grind.

Also, Hildibrand pushed back. Dang it.

But, truely, why did SMN need a nerf? If SMN was too powerful, then where are the RDM changes? SMN already lost most of it's utility to RDM, yet RDM is still more potent. And poor BLM. These buffs aren't going to solve much in level 70 content!

Also about glamour dresser:

From the notes
-Please be warned that gear, once transformed into a glamour, can no longer be used as an item. This is an irreversible process. Transformed gear no longer exists as an item
-Transformed gear cannot be returned to your inventory or Armoury Chest.
-Some gear cannot be transformed into a glamour.

Wait what? Did they not tell us that we can take it back again? Are you saying that nex to having a limit of 200, those items will be lost forever if the storage is full and we need to take something out? Also that not everything can be put in this? What kind of great new system is that? Wow its even worse of a band-aid that I thought..

Yeah... server limitations ...
Please look forward to it!

It's possible. They've stumbled with a few things in the 4.x series, but this is a massive stumble. I'm curious how the JPN side of the forum is taking this news.

Yes, I understand what it says, but during a LL we wear told that we could take the items back out to use again. :/

I feel like the glamour dresser is just a place for us to store all our level 1, vanity only gear, at this point. It does make the process of applying vanities much easier, at least.

Didn't see the issue because you can watch the cutscene in your inn room.

And won't be surprise to see some people creating some PF like these "Selling ARR MSQ dungeon clear runs", this is what's gonna happen for sure.

And again a MCH nerf really...

Honestly, that's what it'll take for me to help new players not in my FC. Of course I'll charge a reasonable amount of gil, but 40 minutes at a minimum for 200 tomes? Yeah, okay.

SE is not gonna nerf RDM or SAM because it needs to be ones on top in order to appeal players who like to do a lot of damage and so it means you need to buy the expansion to play these jobs.
Do not expect a nerf for these jobs before some new jobs coming in the new expansion, it's business ^^

I actually laughed aloud at the MSQ roulette changes.

Truly dead content.
