Thread: 4.25 Patch Notes are Up

So here's one thing that maybe I'm just not understanding. Are we able or encouraged to level up multiple elements? Pretty sure that's a common sense yes, but some things in FFXIV have not followed the common sense trend.

The magia board is divided into six sections, each representing a different element. Melding magicite to the board will enhance the player's affinity to a given element. Magicite is earned by progressing through the Eureka story.

relooking at the patch notes at this part specifically it would seem you are right.

It sounds like your elemental level is 1-20, in general, to correspond with monster elemental level. To get affinity, you need to meld magicite to the board, which we get through the eureka story. We can only change that in town through the magia melder, but we can spin the board so we can change elements in the field. So if we set five fire magicite, but get jumped by a wind enemy, we can change to whatever wind is weak to so it doesn't eat us as bad. But we can only decrease or increase the fire total and put it on wind in town.

Idk, theres some subtle stuff in there. Like we need protean crystals to upgrade gear, but it also says we need specific items which they don't name. I hope to god these aren't the same as past relic steps, bought w tomes.

also they said you need to complete a quest to be allowed to use mounts, which implies there's questing to be done inside
