Patch 2.3 Preliminary Notes

[Ratatapa]

If by spamming Hunts, you are able to get 1 sand per week i'll be happy

And by spamming i mean like doing the daily + weekly hunt and ALOT ALOT ALOT of them outside the 'reset'

[Fievel]

How long before the FATE bots get a Hunt function added?

[Spider-Dan]

They aren't going to hand a sand or oil to you after defeating just a handful of elite marks, you'd gear out in a week.

I'm expecting more like 15k for an Oil, 20k for a Sand and 3k for an Alex.

To be fair, you would only "gear out" in the sense that pre-2.2, you would have already been "geared out" when you bought the items from Auriana in the first place.

Full update notes are up now - http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...582d59335acd84

No mention of fixing the weird issue in some dungeons/trials where you're not placed in the loading ring at the start before the intro CS, which causes shit to engage prematurely.

[Rocl]

flare nerf rip blm

[Hiroishime]

Crafted primal weapons i95, what are chances we can meld materia into them lol, really glad i stocked up on vortex feather, inferno horn etc and maxed out all my retainer.

[Akiyama]

Also demimateria

Looks like i'll be desynthing all my old crafting shit that i don't need rip

[Lokus]

It's ok guys, BLM single target is gonna be better yo.

[Neon_Sea]

Augmented Saurian Shirt of Striking Body Item Level: 90 / Equipment Level: 50

What is this stuff?

[Rocl]

glowy i90 shit

[SamanosukeShiva]

I guess we'll just have to flare like a mediocre blm before the patch.

[Cantih]

Hmm, run a text comparison (maybe stick the text into a wiki to use the version thinger?) and generate a list of differences between the full and prelim notes?

[Prothescar]

wow the ingredients to fucking augment the AF armor to make it dyable (and push it up to an amazing iLvl50) are ridiculous. you may as well just make iLvl 90 gear

unless regular AF is dyable and this makes it glow? shit's convoluted as fuck

[jwang]

What is this Flare nerf? All I see is some buffs to some BLM/THM spells and nerf to Manawall (which is ridiculously strong).

[Psion]

i see nothing mentioning the details of dyed AF gear either.

[Akiyama]

The plus side is there's only one augmentation item you'd need...I guess? Lol Oh god.

Drachen Armor Augmentation
Terminus Putty
Wolfram Square
Ancient Lumber
Darksteel Ingot
Treated Spruce Lumber
Water Crystal x7
Lightning Crystal x5

For example.

The plus side, thankfully, is it doesn't matter whether that shit is HQ or not I'd think so as long as you know someone who can get the mats, it isn't THAT bad.

[miokomioko]

Fellas... it looks like we got demimateria'd... hard.

If all I get out of my stockpile of Lv.50** fish is a bunch of Fieldcraft Demimateria, wigs are going to flip.

[kisada]

yeesh i was really looking forward to dyed af. guess not anymore

Resolved Bugs

An issue wherein thaumaturges and black mages were able to cast multiple fire-based spells under the effect of Umbral Ice I or II.

yeesh i was really looking forward to dyed af. guess not anymore

This pretty much crafting as a whole this patch. I had hoarded a whole bunch of GSM Primal weapons to desynth and they all got changed this patch -_____-

[Akiyama]

I still don't see the issue. Like for DRG, three of those things are easily crafted and the two are kinda eh. It's not too terrible. If it had to be HQed then, well.. lol
