Thread: Patch 1.23 Notes up

Goldsmith get a turban eh? Don't tell me SE already starting with the turban crap LOL /gets namflashbacks about walhara turban AHHHHHHHHHH

I highly doubt they've kept anything from us. I fail to see what it could even be.

Hrm... Let's give it some analysis and see how much stuff is there.
We already know there will be a 1.23a, so let's keep it in mind they're doing a couple of lettered patches.

Six new Side-Quests.
"To Kill a Raven", the Legatus Battle quest. Presumption of mine it will be at least a reasonably long quest, I don't think the fight will be any easy either since he is categorized under 'Primal'.
New Faction Leves. Let's not underestimate that content, why introduce new leves, specially Faction ones? They have a reason, I don't know yet.
Skirmish. I think we're all retty excited about it.

The following zones have had their enemies placement altered: Brittlebark, Crooked Fork, Glory, Twinpools, Sandgate, Bearded Rock, Moraby Bay, Iron Lake, The Isles of Umbra, Woad Whisper Canyon, Bentbranch, Lynxpelt Patch, Verdant Drop.
Most of those are really out of the goddamn way, although some of them are also nearly primary spots (Bentbranch?). I will simply say it's suspicious if anything because there was no real reason to go to those places before, maybe there is now.

There are four pieces of Coliseum gear, and they are not crafted. Which means they drop from somewhere. And if they are included in the patch notes? It means that they are already avaiable (unlike say, the Officer weapons, which were datamined before they were in the patch notes, so we knew what they were before they were in the game). I don't think they are related in any way to Nael's battle as well, it makes no sense.

Player Search feature included three new areas: Rivenroad, Turtleback Island and Locke's Lie. I believe one or two of them is for Skirmish, but what about the other?

Also: Notice they did not include the Yukatas in the patch notes, nor the new dance emote, OR the summer festival quest. We know the event is coming. Simple guess is that it's coming into the next lettered patch.

There we go, a nice summing up, I do think there is a lot of content here, really.

Well... I am inferring this from: "•Weather graphics were not displaying correctly in certain areas."

Great patch notes. Can't wait to play, good job Dev team

Mayhaps the mob re-arrangements has something to do with the "drastic world changes". One can only dream.

Ah, I didn't think to look through the bug-fixes. That's not exactly new weather, mind. I would've loved new weather =/

All the Quests

Kill a Raven

Get a Chocobo Mask, Handle with Care III probably

Turn in mog weapons for seals

Get sanction items

Make a Goldsmith’s Turban

Brittlebark, Mor Dhona ( Obviously in this place.. but in that place it seems everything is fine where they are when I went thewre on United we stand.. nothing was really killing me)

Crooked Fork, Coerthas Eastern Highlands ( I never been to that area)

Glory, Coerthas Eastern Lowlands ( Again why a place like this when Nothing really kills you?)

Twinpools, Coerthas Western Highlands (Never been there)

Sandgate, Eastern Thanalan ( I remember going there once and there was high level Mobs I think)

Bearded Rock, Lower La Noscea ( Low level area again :P)

Moraby Bay, Lower La Noscea ( Don't remember it)

Iron Lake, Upper La Noscea ( 37-44ish camp, nothing really sticks out here)

The Isles of Umbra, Western La Noscea ( New Area? " Thought it was for Skim. battle content...")

Woad Whisper Canyon, Western La Noscea ( New Area? " Thought it was for Skim. battle content...")

Bentbranch, Central Shroud ( Low level Area again :P)

Lynxpelt Patch, East Shroud ( Never been too)

Verdant Drop, East Shroud ( Never been too)

------------------------------

In Short this places they "rearranged mobs" are either in Low Camps.. which doesn't make any since at all unless its for the 7th Umbral Content, Unknown places that only a select few went to ( Explorer's) Places like Verdant Drop, and Lynxpelt Patch...

Obviously SE has more up their sleeves than people think.

I tried to get to all of these places. LOL Got killed in most of them. Some are really interesting with high lvl mobs that just stare at you. But what about the other places that we go to all the time with no high lvl mobs? We do low lvl lvling at Bearded Rock... it is for beginners... why change it??? Maybe Skirmish recruiting area??? But why change the mobs??? This patch notes thing is driving me crazy...
