• New expeditions have been added.

The new expeditions are issued by the Burrow Researcher in Batallia Downs (J-8).
*The expeditions in Batallia Downs are independent from those in Sauromugue Champaign.
• "The Batallia Downs caverns" has been added as a location to which the Burrow Investigator in Upper Jeuno (I-8) may transport you.

• A new NPC named Sokrov, with whom you can exchange wizened worms for reward items, has been introduced in Batallia Downs (J-8).
*Sokrov serves the same function as Utrig does in Sauromugue Champaign (J-7).
• New wizened worm exchange items have been added.
• Trades with the following NPCs involving ancient currencies may now only be completed if the currency amount matches the amount needed to purchase items.
Haggleblix: Beadeaux (E-7)
Lootblox: Davoi (J-7)
Antiqix Castle Oztroja (F-8)


Item-related
• New items have been added.



System-related

• When trading with other players, information regarding the number of items you possess will now display while the trade window is open.



Resolved Issues
• The following issues have been rectified:
• The issue wherein the Spinet furnishing would not play certain songs even when placed in one's Mog House.
• The issue wherein the damage bonus based on dexterity for the thief ability Sneak Attack would activate even when thief was set as a support job.
• The issue wherein changing the number of character models displayed under "Misc." in the Config menu would also change the cursor position for the Icon Type setting.


Known Issues
• Receiving the effects of Warp II, Teleport, or Retrace during a cutscene in a town occasionally skips the cutscene.
• The item Vihuela cannot yet be delivered to characters belonging to different accounts.
• Using the black magic spell Kaustra does not properly count towards completing "dark-based status ailment" objectives in Trial of the Magians.
• The Abyssea-Tahrongi NM Cuelebre can become the target of melee attacks at all times under certain conditions.
• The rate at which participants in Ballista and Brenner competitions receive temporary items remains unintentionally high under certain circumstances.
• Absorbing the effect of a song while under the effect of a Phantom Roll occasionally negates the Phantom Roll effect.

So they gave us pretty much exactly what we thought we were getting, and nothing more. Then they fixed SA and broke some crap. Woop.

[Cleverness]

[Toth]

What a waste. Where the hell are the new SPs.

[Chamaan]

Holding out hope that "new items" means my autoparts.

[Cairthenn]

DAT Mining thread seems like a waste.

Here are the new titles:

Izyx Vexer
Grannus Garroter
Svaha Striker
Melisseus Domesticator

[Slycer]

I dunno why anyone was expecting more, it was always supposed to be a completion of December's update and they really didn't hype this up at all <_>

New items is probably just the stuff that was added already, official thread used pictures of the two glowy weapons to highlight the new items, and those were added in December's update.

no monster file changes (meebles has been using new dats, probably as a way to get around the zone limit. haven't looked into it yet so those aren't included)
titles above were in the previous update, except they changed garotter to garroter.
And some small item changes, like marduk tiara+1 enhances instead of increases fast cast on set...

only 84/255 in on my dialog sweep, all I see so far is some bonanza text in circuits, and looks like you can add the instrument thing that changes mh music to whitegate, or that might just be text that's in there cause it's a zone w/ a mh. whatever. Will upload anything interesting when I get back from work

[Jeryhn]

Hmm, no mention of Embrava being nerfed for Meebles...

[Toth]

I know. I just want to have those new abilities to play with and the delay in implementation has been maddening.

[Slycer]

Looks like Rune Fencer and Geomancer AF is in there. No stats, but maybe the models are?

[SephYuyX]

Is Meeble Burrows single player yet?

[Chamaan]

Ooooo, models please? Hopefully it's not just placeholder crap where it's all cotton robe gear. I was thinking I'd be pushing rope the whole way to SoA, some pretty dats to look at might be nice. Maybe we'll luck out and there's some more hidden teaser crap too.

[Siatdiat]

Hasn't SE said in the past, since about ToAU on, that they wait to make AF1/2 stats after they see how people play the jobs? Not sure if they will keep to that or decide to not be retarded, considering people will be 99 on new jobs immediately after expansion drops.

[SephYuyX]

Screw you, BLM needs AGI.

[Chamaan]

GE- How will the new jobs play into current relic, mythic and empyrean weapons? Is it safe to assume that they’ll have relic and empyrean armor as well?

SE- Rune fencers and geomancers will have Artifact equipment, Artifact weapons, Relic Equipment, Empyrean equipment, and Mythic weapons.

Pretty sure there was a post from devs that those'd be in on first day. I'll look for it.

EDIT: This was what I could find.

As an additional note, when we release content for these new jobs in Seekers of Adoulin, they will be able to earn the equivalent of Relic equipment, Empyrean equipment, and Mythic weapons. We simply used these terms to make it clearer and we haven't officially decided on what names these types of equipment will take.

Sorry. Guess that was more vague than I remembered. Do they mean at job release, or with first patch? Maybe GEO and RNF will be naked for a month and a half! So they can see how the jobs are played before committing to armor selection.

[Spira]

were there only 162 files updated? not a single one of those were graphics

[Buffy]

172 for me, but might be some .dat mods in there
