Thread: Patch 4.2 Notes (Preliminary)

Getting rid of allied seals and reducing the price on the Elite Grand Company gear when, Squeenix?

This shoulda been done some time during Heavensward when the new hunts started giving out Centurio Seals.

I like the changes to Gold Saucer GATEs. Clearly they realized nobody ever wanted to run Vase Off, so they had to make it cheaper and more rewarding (and occur less often). Good that all the other easy/fun ones will happen more.

They finally added a toggle to turn off battle music!

Few other nice QoL changes for those of us not up to date. Just in time for me to really take advantage of them.

Best thing is: Ultimate stays sync on 345. 5 more ilvls is a small but welcome safety net for the tight edge cases and content with title stays relevant.

Just be mindful of the things you're converting, and keep the gear you might need for other jobs still in your retainers/inventories.

Pretty sure the bigger complaint is that with a 200 item limit, they're still going to be forced to remove/destroy some glamour items, or otherwise keep them in their inventory (and thus not getting to clear up that space).

"The Enable normal battle music option is available in the Sound Settings tab of the System Configuration interface.
* This does not affect FATEs, Hunts, or duties."

this was so exciting and such a downer at the same time.

Have they listed the items added in a major SB patch in the full patch notes yet? I swear it's been "We'll list them at a later date" in preliminary, then "Screw it, we don't feel like listing them all" in the final patch notes.

I think everyone saying RIP MSQ missed:

Because this will increase the time required to complete these dungeons, completion rewards and Duty Roulette bonuses for these duties have been increased.

Completion reward is currently 20 poetics

I have to say that the only thing that truly matters to me out of this update is the sucess rate of reeling in 2.0 and 3.0 fish.
