Patch 2.4 Notes (Preliminary) (10/24/2014)

**Kaixin** · 2014-10-24 12:56

Ironworks is like an Apple, Inc. of eorzea, what do you expect? Still miles better than the steel ab dress.

What is this feeling that I'm feeling? I...actually want gear? It's been so long

**Taint** · 2014-10-24 12:57

i120 wrist should be good for awhile. Poetry tomes will be spend on left side items and weapons first. So there will be weeks until someone would actually spend tomes on the wrist slot. The weapons being i110 is pretty awful though.

Same here, we use Eye or Path anyway to keep Maim up, so NIN probably won't need to use it much. I missed the Eye duration increase on the first read-through though, that rocks. Fracture aside, you couldn't even throw an Inner Beast in without Eye dropping or having to double-up on Eye.

I approve of the frontlines drones change, whether B was retarded at the start of the match or not made too much of a difference. Now if only they'd do away with the forced GC teams!

ironworks gear lookin' tron as hell.

I assume this is the new poetic tome gear? Looks pretty cool to me, wonder what the new coil gear will look like, also, finally get to do Coil 2 since I have yet to even step foot into it after beating T5 when my static broke up, and I also lost interest in playing so didn't focus on it. Can work on the 2.3 bis while working on 2.4 tome gear lol.

This is the Coil3 gear (from the notes):

the guy on the left...lol

wait....he's holding the axe but wearing something different than the paladin. what gives?

is this like that time when they had someone in a drg pose wield the HA axe?

**Gulkeeva** · 2014-10-24 13:12

Market for crafting items, just went insane and anything able to be used to make mastercrafter materia.

Price went up 3X for somethings O_o

also, thank GOD I saved/farmed my ixtal tokens... forever and not use them to make gil. Going to need a ton of them to make 2.4 offhand tools n stuff (I'll have near 300 in 2.4 awww yes)

Haha noticed that too. That HAS to be the maiming gear, right?

**Arelian** · 2014-10-24 13:20

Given Ninja having Goad, I'm expecting them to parse somewhere below Monk and (hopefully) Dragoon while being above Bard. Exciting!

Considering the duplicates for Healer and Casting aren't pictured, it is possible that the duplicate tank isn't pictured(War in this case)

However, that would mean BRD MNK DRG and NIN all have separate gear but casters tanks and healers do not lol

That sure looks like an axe though. Maybe its a terrible deformed lance lol

Yea with being melee and having support skills (party-wide damage buff + goad), they're probably meant to compete with bards and parse slightly higher. DEX = support DPS apparently

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2014-10-24 13:23

Oddness. Ninja has a "of Scouting" i110 set (Kirimu stuff, the advertised Thief-looking set. MNK gets a red of Striking version). Yet there's no coil set "of Scouting" and Ninja has white apron-tassel-things in that coilgear SS where MNK has not-white.

**solracht** · 2014-10-24 13:25

It's very likely someone just forgot to add the NIN set to the item list. Don't overthink it, there are 7 unique sets.

**kisada** · 2014-10-24 13:25

yeah i'm expecting bard type numbers.

if they made such a job this versatile put out mnk type numbers then that would end up killing both mnk and drg.

Well the alternative to overthinking was just resigned acceptance that every group is going to get 50% or more Scouting drops their first week.
