I would imagine if this was the case we'd see this:

[dev1433] Several adjustments have been made to expeditionary missions.

Like we did when Ifrit Weapons were introduced as GC turn-ins. (I just looked and even regular NM turn-ins got their own dev tag, so if any of those events dropped specific items for seals, I'd imagine it'd be noted.)

And those bullets are under the [dev1445] tag, so I'm gonna be absolutely flabbergasted if they aren't related to A Relic Reborn.

Well I was thinking that the additional chests in Darkhold would amount to more chances at tradable items. It's a thought at least.

Adventurers must fulfill the following requirements if they wish to rise from Chief Sergeant to Second Lieutenant:

Pay 25,000 company seals.

Nah, rather it's the same chest as in AV and CC with a relic-related drop.

Hmm perhaps beastman seals can now be gotten from those faction leves? Would help alleviate the hamlet defense issue.

**Niiro** · 2012-06-20 16:44

Players can now sort their inventory by condition and spiritbond values.

Yay.

Eh, I'm skeptical at best. Five new steps.

Four items probably related (including one definitely related) still unknown/unreleased.

**Jamison** · 2012-06-20 17:02

I can't say I'm surprised, but holy hell...

**RobertoCarlos** · 2012-06-20 17:05

anyone got a direct link on the update?

**Alkar** · 2012-06-20 17:19

You don't need to clear raids under 17 minutes to get drops but doing so will always net an item. If you take more time it's simply not 100%.

**Therin** · 2012-06-20 17:21

Still nowhere near as bad as "obtain 17,000 Dynamis currency" or worse, "30,000 Alexandrite as well as everything else you can possibly do involving ToAU."

**Kurokikaze** · 2012-06-20 17:27

Sweet Jesus... People are gonna be farming seals for months.

**Denmork** · 2012-06-20 17:29

I'm not to surprised at that the relic quest has turned into a massive time sink, but the wording about the ifrit has me a bit worried that it's going to take 8 people all on the relic quest to even enter the fight. More so since I expect people to give up on relics soon, while i keep the delusion going strong.

Just as planned?

The final requirements to the relic quests doesn't seem too bad, massive time sink for sure but doable with planning and skill. Still, the first 2 steps (hamlet seals, double melds) are the massive cock block of RNG that'll deter some folks while the latter half is at least controllable by the players.

This makes me happy:

Map transparency settings are now reflected correctly in the Journal interface

Have they explicitly mapped out a level cap increase in the 2.0 framework? Probably reading into it too far otherwise; just don't think I've seen a "50 or higher" entry requirement yet.

**Raldo** · 2012-06-20 18:03

Hasn't everything been "level 45 or higher" up until this point?

It may just be generic text.

**Wycor** · 2012-06-20 18:25

All I see on the relic quest is: "take this, here...got it? Ok, now... have fun untill 2.0!"

And another 25k seals for promote plus... 7k more for each weapon or item?

They seriously should just take the Campaign system from XI and toss it XIV. Don't care about the lack of originality; it would be vastly superior to the current seal / idle XP framework. The story is all set for it as well; you've got 3 separate nations of defenders and you've already implemented random Garlean invasions outside the main towns.

**Cichy** · 2012-06-20 18:41

Still no idea why they dint add seal reward for Hamlet. Or ability to buy other company gear for x2 or x3 seals. Would be even more time sinks.
