Will update for Full Notes. Can I mention how nice but FRUSTRATING the new layout is for news topics on the lodestone. Much more graphic, object oriented and I can't really share the info without it looking like beans.
Patch 3.4 Notes (Preliminary)
Patch 3.4 brings myriad additions and refinements to the realm. Challenge seekers can test their mettle against fellow adventurers in duels and the Feast custom matches.

Managing Your Squadron
1. Recruit squadron members.
A squadron cannot be formed until you have at least four members. This can be accomplished by completing objectives in your challenge log, which will attract new recruits to join your squadron.
All enlistment papers received will be delivered to your desk inside the squadron barracks.
When a potential recruit piques your interest, select Question when viewing their enlistment papers to call them into the barracks and view their profile. If they are to your satisfaction, you can then recruit them to join your squardron.
The barracks has room for eight soldiers. If you have reached this limit and wish to enlist new recruits, you must first discharge one of the existing squadron members.
You may also choose to postpone a potential recruit's enlistment or dismiss them when reviewing their papers. Please note that if you postpone enlistment, you cannot review the next application until you choose to accept or dismiss the current applicant.
2. Train your recruits.
After assembling your first squadron, they must undertake the introductory mission "City Patrol." After successfully completing this mission, they may undertake training courses posted on the regimen board. Training courses will provide increases to the squadron's overall physical, mental, and tactical abilities. The focus on which attribute is improved varies from course to course, and you are free to concentrate on the areas in which you wish your squadron to excel.
Each training course takes 1 hour to complete (Earth time). When a training course is complete, all recruits present in the barracks will receive experience points, and the squadron's overall attributes will increase.
* Recruits can undertake training courses up to three times a day. Training sessions are renewed every day at 1:00 p.m. (PDT).
3. Deploy squadrons on missions.
When your squadron is amply prepared, speak with the squadron sergeant to deploy them on a mission. Be advised that deploying your squadron requires an expenditure of company seals, with costs increasing as mission difficulty increases.
Furthermore, each mission has a minimum level requirement. At least one member of the squadron must meet this requirement to proceed.
4. Wait for your squadron to return.
Missions require 18 hours (Earth time) to complete. The time remaining until a mission is completed can be viewed by opening the Timers interface located under Duty in the main menu.
* When successfully completed, the same mission cannot be repeated for the remainder of the week. Mission timers are reset every Tuesday at 1:00 a.m. (PDT).
5. Review the squadron's mission report.
When the squadron returns from a mission, you can speak with the squadron sergeant to review a mission debriefing outlining squadron performance.
The mission is a success
Squadron members will receive experience points based on the mission's difficulty. There is also a chance squadron members will exhibit a preference for a certain squadron composition. This is known as "squadron chemistry," and it can affect the outcome of missions by improving attributes or increasing their experience earned.
The mission ends in failure
Squadron members will receive half the basic reward experience points.
The number of items yielded by Exploratory Voyages has been adjusted.
Housing
* The timer for auto-demolition will resume with the release of patch 3.4. Further details can be found on the Lodestone.
Apartments are now available in all three residential districts.

Players can enter apartments directly from the building entrance or via a door inside the lobby.
Purchasing an Apartment
Before purchasing an apartment, players must first attain level 50 with at least one class. Furthermore, players must have attained the rank of second lieutenant in the Maelstrom, the Order of the Twin Adder, or the Immortal Flames. Each apartment building can house up to 90 tenants, with each room costing 500,000 gil. Players are allowed one apartment per character. Furthermore, it is possible to own both an estate and an apartment.
Furnishings
Players can place up to 50 furnishings in an apartment. As with free company and personal estates, players are able to use all housing-specific features such as flowerpots, the orchestrion, the armoire, the crystal bell, summoning bells, and the employ of NPCs.
* Placing a furnishing in an apartment will bind it to you, preventing future trade or sale to other players.
Additional Facilities
Each apartment building also includes a chocobo stable, which is shared with all tenants. Here players can train their chocobos and change their color, and also assist in training other tenants' chocobos.
It is also possible to teleport directly to your apartment. Furthermore, a summoning bell and market board have also been placed close to the building for convenience.
New furnishings have been added.

* In the event another player edits the playlist while you are still viewing it, the interface will be closed and any music playing will stop to allow the playlist to be updated.

Managing Your Squadron
1. Recruit squadron members.
A squadron cannot be formed until you have at least four members. This can be accomplished by completing objectives in your challenge log, which will attract new recruits to join your squadron.
All enlistment papers received will be delivered to your desk inside the squadron barracks.
When a potential recruit piques your interest, select Question when viewing their enlistment papers to call them into the barracks and view their profile. If they are to your satisfaction, you can then recruit them to join your squardron.
The barracks has room for eight soldiers. If you have reached this limit and wish to enlist new recruits, you must first discharge one of the existing squadron members.
You may also choose to postpone a potential recruit's enlistment or dismiss them when reviewing their papers. Please note that if you postpone enlistment, you cannot review the next application until you choose to accept or dismiss the current applicant.
2. Train your recruits.
After assembling your first squadron, they must undertake the introductory mission "City Patrol." After successfully completing this mission, they may undertake training courses posted on the regimen board. Training courses will provide increases to the squadron's overall physical, mental, and tactical abilities. The focus on which attribute is improved varies from course to course, and you are free to concentrate on the areas in which you wish your squadron to excel.
Each training course takes 1 hour to complete (Earth time). When a training course is complete, all recruits present in the barracks will receive experience points, and the squadron's overall attributes will increase.
* Recruits can undertake training courses up to three times a day. Training sessions are renewed every day at 1:00 p.m. (PDT).
3. Deploy squadrons on missions.
When your squadron is amply prepared, speak with the squadron sergeant to deploy them on a mission. Be advised that deploying your squadron requires an expenditure of company seals, with costs increasing as mission difficulty increases.
Furthermore, each mission has a minimum level requirement. At least one member of the squadron must meet this requirement to proceed.
4. Wait for your squadron to return.
Missions require 18 hours (Earth time) to complete. The time remaining until a mission is completed can be viewed by opening the Timers interface located under Duty in the main menu.
* When successfully completed, the same mission cannot be repeated for the remainder of the week. Mission timers are reset every Tuesday at 1:00 a.m. (PDT).
5. Review the squadron's mission report.
When the squadron returns from a mission, you can speak with the squadron sergeant to review a mission debriefing outlining squadron performance.
The mission is a success
Squadron members will receive experience points based on the mission's difficulty. There is also a chance squadron members will exhibit a preference for a certain squadron composition. This is known as "squadron chemistry," and it can affect the outcome of missions by improving attributes or increasing their experience earned.
The mission ends in failure
Squadron members will receive half the basic reward experience points.
The number of items yielded by Exploratory Voyages has been adjusted.
Housing
* The timer for auto-demolition will resume with the release of patch 3.4. Further details can be found on the Lodestone.
Apartments are now available in all three residential districts.

Players can enter apartments directly from the building entrance or via a door inside the lobby.
Purchasing an Apartment
Before purchasing an apartment, players must first attain level 50 with at least one class. Furthermore, players must have attained the rank of second lieutenant in the Maelstrom, the Order of the Twin Adder, or the Immortal Flames. Each apartment building can house up to 90 tenants, with each room costing 500,000 gil. Players are allowed one apartment per character. Furthermore, it is possible to own both an estate and an apartment.
Furnishings
Players can place up to 50 furnishings in an apartment. As with free company and personal estates, players are able to use all housing-specific features such as flowerpots, the orchestrion, the armoire, the crystal bell, summoning bells, and the employ of NPCs.
* Placing a furnishing in an apartment will bind it to you, preventing future trade or sale to other players.
Additional Facilities
Each apartment building also includes a chocobo stable, which is shared with all tenants. Here players can train their chocobos and change their color, and also assist in training other tenants' chocobos.
It is also possible to teleport directly to your apartment. Furthermore, a summoning bell and market board have also been placed close to the building for convenience.
New furnishings have been added.

* In the event another player edits the playlist while you are still viewing it, the interface will be closed and any music playing will stop to allow the playlist to be updated.
