Level 10 Arcanist Quest Script Error

[grey70005]

I just ran through the Arcanist quests, Levels 1-30 and first Scholar/Summoner quests. The quest text was definitely not updated properly to accommodate the significant changes 5.0 made. Having been through this before on another account, I could shrug it off, but a new player, or even old player new to the class? It varies from being confusing to outright incorrect.

One thing I've always loved about FFXIV is there attention to details. Spelling errors and typos get fixed, there is some real quality dialogue. Honestly, this is just disappointing. How hard would it have been for them to simply spend an afternoon reading the quest lines and fixing the obvious issues with the text? Add to this that the people it negatively impacts the most are new players... blows my mind. This isn't some esoteric, time consuming, difficult to do code change and engine rewrite. Sit down with tea, read the quests, compare to the new job setups, and fix. Not rocket science, nor any huge allocation of resources.

Its poor planning and laziness. Also seeing stuff like when you first equip the Scholar job crystal and all icons populate on the hotbed... it skips over physick! Again, for people that have played, no big deal. For a new player, beyond confusing, they'll likely think it was replaced by adloquium or something. Not cool at all. People who are in charge of this stuff, please love your game as your player base does and fix it!

That could be a glitch. When I first equipped SCH after 5.0, several basic abilities had stopped working and had been replaced by identically-named but separate abilities. Maybe the code still points to "Physick" but it's not called that any more, or something.
