Bonus EXP awarded for handing in HQ items for tradecraft leves has been decreased.

O god. Burn all your allowances, quick.

Guess i'll burn my last 2 crafts up to 50 sunday/monday lol
(Although I wonder if this only applies to tradecraft "Guildleves" rather than all levequests, as that's the heading it's listed under.)

Thaumaturge Changes
Blizzard II :: Potency has been reduced from 100 to 50, and the bind effect has been increased from 4 to 8 seconds. Can now be used by all Disciples of Magic.

You motherfuckers...

[Lokus]

Welp, Allagan Boots of Casting just became completely worthless to me for both SMN and BLM.

someone didn't read this thoroughly

[Ezek]

I'm kind of glad, now I have an excuse to buy the SCH relic leggings.

dat Holy potency nerf though. Cure III changes (+ Cure 2's new proc) are interesting, very eager to see if I'll actually use it outside of very niche situations like T4 enrage.

[Toth]

The allagen stuff makes sense. CoB stuff is free and can be gotten anytime. You need to work for relic gear (though this will be much easier come Monday).

[barber2006]

The following changes have been made to pet actions:
The Away command has been added to the subcommand menu when selecting your pet.
When set to Obey and Steady, pets will only execute actions when commanded, and will remain in the Steady stance.
The faerie Eos will no longer automatically cast Whispering Dawn when set to Obey.
The faerie Selene will now use Fey Light when set to Sic.
Pet action help text is now displayed in the same format as class and job actions.
Help text for pet actions that are not used when set to Obey has been revised.
Pet positioning will no longer affect the movement of enemies, and vice versa.


yes yes yes.

[Ezek]

So many delicious DRG buffs. Looks like Blood for Blood is being decreased to 10% dmg boost as a subjob ability while DRGs still get the full 30% due to their trait. AND PET MACROS, inc mouseover Selene Embrace macro.

[Slycer]

The period of immobility upon being revived has been reduced, and characters are granted temporary invulnerability.

* The invulnerability effect will be lost upon using actions.

[Cichy]

the hell is this?

[SamanosukeShiva]

what the fuck @ SMN losing thunder completely, thats huge.

[SilverBreeze]

SMN losing Thunder is kind of a big deal, that's... ouch.

My Allagan boots are now useless, and now I'm under the accuracy cap.

Bane only hitting 3 targets wasn't a bug, it was intended.

At least the myth cap got increased!

[Lokus]

So they took away Thunder and instead we can now use... Blizzard II. This is gonna hurt SMN's dps quite a bit along with any long fight that has us use Sustain to keep our pet up since that'll eat our MP too. They also nerfed Virus rotations but meh. I also don't understand wtf they made Obey and Steady do the exact same thing now. I assume it had to do more so with Fairy AI than it did with Egi AI.

[Elcura]

The reason to buy them is they look good. Stats? I dunno what those are.

[Hellfury]

Those FC housing prices :/ I was looking so forwards to this

(am I tired on a saturday evening or is their price example nonsensical?

The Devaluation Timer

The price of a plot of land is set to be reduced 14% every six hours.

Example:
Small
- Starting Price: 8,000,000 gil
- 10 Days Later: 7,552,000 gil
- 15 Days Later: 7,328,000 gil
- 30 Days Later: 6,656,000 gil
- 90 Days Later: 3,698,000 gil
* The price will reduce a maximum of 360 times in 90 days and will will fall to half its starting price.
* From patch 2.2 onward, a free company will automatically relinquish its land if its estate is unused for a prolonged period of time.

8,000,000*0,86 = 6,880,000 for the first decline, next decline would be 6,880,000*0,86= 5,916,800 etc?

It may be a continuous decrease of 14% from the original price, not the reduced price.
