Beta Test Phase 4 Patch Notes

[Tokitoki]

That's how it was in Phase2 and I liked it, but I think they turned that off for Phase3. I could be mistaken though. I just know my materia ended up strewn all about everywhere.

Ah really? I didn't notice it changed. That's weird if they removed that since it was a nice feature.

Some items of note:


Looks like they may be moving away from JP midnight and going to GMT noon/midnight.

It starts on the same time as every other test. It has always been 9 AM GMT.

This is a nice change for people that had multi-melds that were greater than the new number of materia slots;

It's been always the case, ever since it was posted on Lodestone last month or so.

[Carth]

Also Gladius are renamed shortswords

Inc a new job for Gladius name?

I'll only accept that when they get rid of those god damned daggers off my Gladiator.

What does this have to do with the times at which leve allowances are received?

My bad. Misread the quote~

It wasn't removed, materia is simply dumped with everything else.

Bah I need to go reread the lodestone post about cracked materia

Just making sure real quick

1) If you have Cracked Materia (that is not affixed) you can exchange it to the same tier of a new materia correct?
2) If you have Crakced Materia affixed on gear (you can exchange for new gear or something?)

Could any of you actually patch yet? Just says maintenance to me.

[Deuce]

Anyone else curious about these two changes?

• The number of gathering attempts for a single point have been reduced from six to four.
• Players can no longer use food or medicine while gathering.

Were there any foods in beta that affected gathering stats?

There were a few soups that affected gathering, yes.

Yes, we had food options for both gathering and crafting with specific stats on them. The note simply says that you can't use food while gathering on a node.

Yea, but it was weird. Cod puffs, buttons in a blanket and crown cookies. All were crafting and gathering food. I guess it was just for beta purposes.

Guess I glossed over the "while" part. Nevermind.

[Shuichi]

I like those Free Company boosts. A nice variety to choose from.

I'm pretty shocked that they let you stick your tacky FC crest on AF, since they won't let you dye it.

So long as I'm not forced to wear it then it's ok by me.

Just ashamed of others' bad tastes.
