Thread: 5.3 COMPLETE patch notes

There are upgrade tokens for gear that you buy with nuts. You won't need to farm the Neir raids for them if you prefer to do hunts. Those will be purchased at the Crystarium. A rank trains and S ranks will be crazy with people farming nuts you can be sure. Yesterday was already a precursor of what is coming this week there were so many people hunt bosses were not showing up for many people and I'm on PC and not PS4. I capped nuts on my main and all my end game alts.

That's going to be:
200 Allegory
400 Phanta
600 Poetics
800 Nuts
Stellaclusters and Planaclusters dropped randomly (probably a dozen of each at least with 20 hunts)

per A rank train assuming full credit.

I don't know we'll have to wait and see. I suspect there won't be but we could be pleasantly surprised. I've got all the stuff already and have been using nuts to purchase materia VIII's and tome mats with my Phanta which sell pretty well. I've been holding my clusters waiting for prices to go back up and they will to a degree with this patch but will certainly skyrocket with new gear possibly in 5.4 and the new raid tier.

I cap my main and all my alts doing A rank trains. I simply can't do dungeons it's way too much work.

most people who play this would be lost in a real RPG.

It's not targeted at the people who have Lv60 jobs and are getting dragged down to the Lv20 dungeon; it's targeted at helping new players to gear up.

The contents of treasure coffers in [ARR levelling] dungeons have been adjusted to ensure players receive gear of a suitable strength.
Furthermore, players will always receive a weapon or piece of armor equippable by their current job upon completing one of these dungeons:

Combined with the removal of aetherial gear, that either leaves the hodgepodge of items currently dropped in every other dungeon OR they add new ones. Currently if you strip out aetherial gear, the dungeons either only drop armour or only drop weapons, so it seems like there has to be something filling the gaps.

There are a few other recurring designs that occur alongside the ones currently given as unique dungeon gear - the Uraeus set and the one with bulky arm and leg guards that G'raha Tia wears, and the Vanya robes might be part of that series too. Maybe some others as well. They show up repeatedly in the Lv50 crafted and PVP sets. Those would be obvious things to draw on to quickly add "new" gear to old dungeons for minimal work. Remember we got a lot of new crafted gear with old models with either 5.1 or 5.2 as well.

And yes, technically the acolyte and battlemage robes are on the marketboard under different names, but they're different colours (you can't dye them to be identical) and they're locked to healing and casting, respectively.
