Thread: Patch 6.4 Notes

At the rate we're going, Island Sanctuary should be good content for the game by 8.4

Only if they massively buff the EXP gain so you're not stuck for days waiting for your mammets to churn out enough EXP to level you up.

It annoys me so much that playing with the Spreadsheet of Doom earns you so much more EXP than actually engaging with your farm and gathering.

It's a slow grind, doesn't get easier on alts and they're locking so much glamour and things behind it.

Selene isn't going away exactly, it's just there won't be separate summon buttons. If you like Selene's model, you can egi-glamour to her instead (or Carby - I bet this means all four colors of Carby, too)

The RGB slider thing may actually have future relevance if it's related to the graphics rework to hit with 7.0. Not sure if it is, mind you, but if it is, that could be why they're doing it now, to set that groundwork.

Lots of neat stuff in this patch. I'm still annoyed we have no Exploration Zone or actual Relic grind this expansion, though... but I am excited for the story. I'm sure it will be neat though with nothing exceptionally interesting (we already know we're going to the 13th to fight Golbez, the question is just the details of how exactly we get there and so on), though I suspect there will be the "7.0 hook" twist at some point, probably something unexpected as we finish the last quest in the series to set up 6.5 and the bridge to 7.0. Also interested to see the conclusion of the Pandaemonium story and what we end up learning of/doing with Laha and Elidibus.

So some good stuff, even if it's not as good as I might like it to be.

Wait hold on...Selene is no longer an option? That's all I ever used!

Sad days.

She is, but they're removing the "Summon Selene" button. It's probably just going to be "Summon Eos" or "Summon Faerie", and you get Egi-Glamour so you can set her visual as either Eos, Selene, or Carbuncle (probably all colors) using the Egi-glam command.

Oh well that's fine then.

I wonder if this will mean summoner egis can be glammed as fairies too? Its all the same command, after all.

Excited for a lot of other things in the patch, personally. And the MSQ and Pandamonium, of course.

Would love to be able to. would be a nice throw back to FFXI with moves like Garuda's Blood Pact Ward*: Whispering Wind if I can pop a whispering dawn on my garuda egi glam'd faerie. Though in the meantime can just heal with XI Carby's Healing Ruby vibes with the Carbuncle glam. I hope one day we can have a decent selection of options for both SMN and SCH.

*: FFXI SMNs main CD abilities were called Blood Pact Rage/Ward depending on the move being offensive or defensive, pulled from a list of Blood Pacts based on the Avatar you fielded. Aside from Odin and Alexander as they are special cases who's Astral Flow only and behave more like XIV EW SMN Astral Flows (pop in and out).

I keep hoping someday they'll add a proper interface for pet glams, and then adding in new ones we can unlock with quests or even boss drops. *coughthreemissingARRprimalscough*
