FFXIV 6.0: Endwalker (December 7, 2021)

[Prothescar]

Leves, rowena turnins, weekly custom deliveries, and grand company turnins

Engineering manuals are still good for 80-90 as well

[Gokulo]

Are there any tips to leveling crafters? Feels ungodly slow compared to gathering.

In theory, if you have money to spend you can just do leves by buying the items off the marketboard and just stand at the NPC and level up by handing in items, lol.
Don't forget daily Grand Company deliveries - do HQ items, especially if they have a star on that day.

Ishgard restoration, weekly delivery quests, leves, crystarium and studium deliveries, GC turn ins, engineering manuals, find an easy craft with a few ingredients and do quick crafting and watch Netflix while you afk

[Corrderio]

Thanks I'll try those out later. Forgot how much of a godsend Beastmen quests were.

[Hellfury]

what was said above, also; HQing mats in general gives a lot of XP and can usually be macroed to a significant successrate, while you SB if you're enough into crafting to warrant that.

South Korea Fan Fest happened yesterday, Yoshi P confirmed they are working on a new deep dungeon for the 6.X patch series. Most people had anticipated this but this is the first official confirmation.

[Corrderio]

Still waiting for Hildibrand news

[Anoat]

Reminder live letter is tonight at 6pm PST/9pm EST and they are definitely gonna be talking Endwalker spoilers so heads up on that

We’re getting our first graphical update with 7.0 looks like

Yoshi P says PS4 support will remain “at least” through the 7.0 launch. Looks like the clock is ticking.

[Prothescar]

4 months between updates instead of 3.5

Wow I can't imagine how many models/etc. they'll have to upgrade for 7.0

[Anoat]

Yoshi P specifically cited FFXI as one of their inspirations for making XIV more solo friendly. With that they plan over the course of 6.1-6.5 patch series to make all MSQ dungeons and 4 player trials trust compatible. 6.1 will cover the 2.0 ARR areas. There are currently no plans to update the 8 man duties, at least until after 7.0 launch.

Some of the 2.0 dungeons will get an overhaul, they cite removing the slow slime puddles in Totorak. RIP Cape Westwind—the trial is being removed and reworked into being a solo quest duty fight. They will also be changing the 8 man main scenario dungeons (Prae and Castrum) are being changed to 4 man dungeons, while the final encounter with Lahabrea and Ultima Weapon also being changed to become solo quest battles.

[Corrderio]

Hopefully they'll make Aurum less of a pain in the ass. I swear every time I roll that dungeon I get a tank in the i90 Artifact gear that's new and it shows.

I'm Still kinda sad they gave up on 8 man dungeons just casue the 2.0 ones didn't turn out well I'm gonna miss spaming emotes while Luvia tickles me on her magitech.

8 man dungeons would work IMO. The problem is the cutscenes were absolute shit and padded them out way too long.

[Anoat]

6.1 patch will include:
New Hildibrand quests
New quest series starring Tataru
Myths of the Realm (24 man alliance raid #1)
Crystalline Conflict (new PVP)
Arkasodara beast tribe quests/dailies
Dragonsong War Ultimate—Yoshi P says incredibly challenging, will arrive in 6.11
Ultima Weapon Unreal—Yoshi P says it is surprisingly challenging when tuned for level 90 players
Ishgard Housing (6.11)
New custom delivery quests with Ameliance
New hairstyle for Hrothgar

Island Sanctuary is planned to debut in 6.2

[Corrderio]

New Hildibrand Quests? OH HAPPY DAY BEST CHARACTER IS BACK!

[Anoat]

Yoshi P says they are planning ANOTHER Ultimate fight to drop possibly in 6.4 or 6.5, that would be pretty nuts

[Prothescar]

are they gonna answer any of these questions lol

[Corrderio]

I just wish someone would ask if The Scions will be involved in the MSQ going forward/in 7.0 or if they're being retired for a new cast.
