    FFXIV Patch 2.25 Notes

    http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...b45897e3a016cf

    I'm not fancy at the whole copy/paste deal but these are up for those interested.


    A new quest has been added.
    Quest Required Level and Location
    Required Level and Location Level 19
    Central Thanalan (X:23 Y:14)
    NPC: Kokosamu

    The strength of the Echo granted in the Binding Coil of Bahamut has been increased.
    The Echo will take effect upon entering the Binding Coil of Bahamut, increasing players' maximum HP, damage dealt, and healing magic potency by 15%.
    * Unlike other instances, the strength of the Echo will not increase upon total party incapacitation.
    * The Echo will not be applied in Turn 3.
    * The strength of the Echo is scheduled to be increased two weeks after the release of patch 2.25.

    The Tidal Wave Shield and Tidal Wave Buckler have been added as rewards to The Whorleater (Extreme).
    Players who have already used a Mirror of the Whorl to upgrade a wave shield or wave buckler prior to patch 2.25 will be compensated with an additional Mirror of the Whorl.
    * These mirrors will be distributed via the moogle delivery service after the release of patch 2.25.

    Players who have completed the quest "A Relic Reborn" in Version 1.0 can unlock the Hydra and Dhorme Chimera trials at the following locations:
    A Relic Reborn: The Chimera - Coerthas Central Highlands (X:32 Y:7)
    A Relic Reborn: The Hydra - Eastern Thanalan (X:14 Y:30)

    Ventures have been added as rewards for treasure hunting.
    The number of seeds obtained through intercrossing when using Shroud Topsoil has been adjusted.
    This adjustment is intended to ensure balance with the number of seeds received when intercrossing using Shroud Topsoil in comparison to Thanalan Topsoil.

    A system message will be displayed when Challenge Log entries near completion.

    The maximum PvP rank has been raised to 40.
    New PvP gear has been added.
    The following PvP gear can now be purchased from the Storm Private and Storm Sergeant NPCs at Wolves' Den Pier (X:6 Y:5)

    The Materia Transmutation system has been added.
    Materia transmutation can be unlocked by completing the following quest:

    Quest Marvelously Mutable Materia
    Required Level Level 19
    Location Central Thanalan (X:23 Y:14)
    NPC: Kokosamu
    Prerequisites Players must first complete the quest "Life, Materia, and Everything."

    Certain furnishings can no longer be obtained via quick exploration ventures.

    Time to glamor my recently acquired Artisan specs, woop woop. Also lol @ being able to dye Darklight gear now.

    Nothing about atma drop-rates unfortunately, unless they ninja'd it and are playing coy.

    Pretty much all 3-star furnishing came from Quick ventures yeah.

    White Raven junk was the stuff I was referencing, but other stuff like Leviathan-X fountain/Carbuncle stuff is prob affected too

    Kinda wish I got PVP30 now but so lazzzzzzzzzzzy, I expect the i100 SCH book to have crit again and it'd be worth getting in case my luck w/ Darnus isn't as grand as Twintania.

    I'm still expecting ninja fixes here. I can't believe they're gonna let the Brayflox situation as is considering how quickly they nerfed speed runs in WP/AK back then. The current situation is probably even worse.

    You have to kill nearly everything in Brayflox at least, where-as the rest which they nerfed, you just slept/sac-pulled and locked out with the boss gate.

    Brayflox speed runs are only a thing because they designed it for fresh 50s with a few pieces of Darklight rather than the 99% of the playerbase who are i80+ on their main job. if you over gear any content by that much it's going to be rushed through like that.

    I'm surprised they didn't nerf atma drop rates because they need to do something to keep the "casuals" playing. 2.2 was a complete fail for anyone without a lot of time on their hands and that's a game changer. 2.3 is likely going to be geared towards fresh 50s too with just a new primal thrown in for everyone else, with drop rates low enough to put off anyone that doesn't have a ton of time.

    I wonder if you're going to be able to combine lower materia and have a shot at higher level materia... If so I am going to be really happy...

    I read a rumour somewhere that it's something like 5 materia of any grade = a random materia. Apparently it was explicitly stated in the FR/DE notes but since the Lodestone is maint'd now I can't check myself to see if this is true.
