Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXX

so the vases seem to be only decoration, not outdoor gardening replacement/substitute. k. couldve swore they told us theyd allow us to grow things in our house rooms to combat limited gardening availability. guess they backpedaled on that.

I thought that was coming with the personal apartments.

DRG pet from FFXI as minion?

Unleash the Scrips

[Eldelphia]

Crafter gear update. Shared gear for crafting classes. High level gear requiring crafter scrips. Adjustments to materia acquisition. Marko saying something about getting grade Vs from new beastmen quests in some way. There will be other ways
Balancing blue/red scrips. Adding new locations for scrips/increasing number you get.

Edited to add Q&A

Gatherer/Crafter
We mentioned this previously, but gatherers and crafters will receive a boost in the item level. If you would like to craft new equipment planned to be introduced in Patch 3.4, please be sure to collect these new pieces of gear. There are two major types of equipment, one which can be crafted, and another which can be exchanged with red scrips. The item level from the red scrips are set higher, but the crafted version can be melded, so that’s a strong point. New primary tools will also be introduced. Belts, and accessories are planned for Patch 3.4.

I'm going to bet it has to do with cross breeding and them rushing the scripting to make it all work and didn't think this would be a thing any time soon, thus screwed themselves because they probably scripted each unique plant to check for cross breed. Because vases are a single point planting area thing it would likely cause an error dump when it goes to check for its neighbor only to find nothing is there.

New beastmen costumes lol...

Yeah you're right!

Coming to a cash shop near you!

[Eldelphia]

Recommended gear button.

So far absolutely no news on Diadem...

[Eldelphia]

Can save up to 4 HUD setups. Looks like they can be copied.
Draw quality setting on PS4
Partial matching on search for marketboard (at last!)

[Shenrien]

Still cannot be saved to server for in the event something awful happens to your machine and it becomes a massive paper weight.

[Deathbringer]

more senpai titles

[Prothescar]

dont know why they bother with the mentor system, pretty huge failure that i doubt can be salvaged

[Shenrien]

PVP Presets, aka Active Directory provision simulator. That's what I thought watching the server slowly decied what it needed to do.

[Rocl]

idling camera during battle what could go wrong

[Eldelphia]

Absolutely no mention of Diadem... I swear they said they were updating it this patch.

[Destinye]

They do hold onto stuff even a small bit of players use..when it's convenient for them to focus on anyway. I've still yet to see a 'mentor' that plays better than even a fresh player lol.

I think the only thing I'm curious about is if the ilvl is "in between" like say ilvl235 or if it's a legit ilvl240 alternative. (probably ilvl225 since its story related anyway to keep relic relevant and to obsolete Seph ex since people who aren't already done with it still can't seem to get past phase 1.)

[Eldelphia]

Anima weapon customisation? Doing lots of different stuff to get tokens to customise your weapon. Secondary stats equivalent to i240.

[Rocl]

based on those caps anima weapons are i240
