Comprehensive Version Update Details (11/25)

[Kurokikaze]

December is when KB will be fully mappable (minus ESC key).

[Chastiti]

They also updated the lodestone recipes from 31-40. Kinda bummed they didn't throw 41-50 in there as well.

[bruiser]

I like how they said that 11-20 was going to be the biggest SP reduction, but it turned out to be 21-30.

Also disappointed that we didn't see the recent recipe history list in this update. That was another thing I could have sworn was coming this time around, but I guess not.

Despite all the changes they still havent addressed that you can't make Iron Round Knives b/c hte recipe is fucked?

[Vilmos]

Nice changes to iron nuggets and lenses. I would have liked Hawksbill Shell to have been lowered too. Ah well, it's a start.

They did fix it actually.

Check the Smithing section.

ROFL you needed the knife to make the knife blade but there was no knife recipe before. Now its just 4x iron nuggets for knife blade.

Howling Vortex: Effect duration increased from 30 to 15 seconds.

wouldn't the duration decrease to 15 seconds? I'm not seeing how this is a buff at all but I don't know how howling vortex works is this a buff or a typo?

edit: they seem to be increasing all of thm's enfeebles enmity but lowering cure enmity? Really confused on what they are trying to accomplish

[Kurokikaze]

Howling Vortex is a GLA weapon skill with added effect Slow Cast to the target.

Oh cool u can change the font settings now from the general tab in the ffxiv config, thats a nice nifty feature =)

[Reapz]

All looks very good, hopefully it turns out as good ingame as it looks in writing. 1 hour till we find out! (If no extensions etc.)

Not sure what this is, but it wasn't what I was referring to. I was referring to how they said there would be a new UI in game that would allow you to select from most 8 recent synths, and it would automatically populate the required ingredients into the window.

I think they don't want you spamming tons of enfeebles without fear of retribution from the mob. Need to be careful with it.

There was a recipe before, but it was cyclic. You needed the knife to make the blade and the blade to make the knife. You could actuall make the knife during a leve, since in that case the blade was provided for you.

So the 30-15 seconds increase was an increase or a typo?

If a typo in what regard?

Was it a typo that it should have been increased from 15 to 30

or that it should have been decreased from 30 to 15?

[The Q]

No changes to GLA abilities stamina rates at all. God damn it. Seems like they glossed over GLA in lieu of all other classes this time.

Also I REALLY hope players/retainers can have more than one buy/sell/repair icon up at a time. I doubt it though.

[bruiser]

Also it's weird that they split the changes to synthesis recipes into two groups: Changes to required difficulty, and changes to required rank. Clear Glass Lens, Red Glass Lens, and Green Glass Lens all fall under the "changes to required difficulty" category and not changes to required rank. Which doesn't make any sense, they are like r50 synths and used in r20 items.

An increase to the duration of Slow Cast after Howling Vortex is used.
