I know, but it's SILVER. Silver > gold, it's a known fact. Science, even.

 

Silver can kill werewolves. What's gold kill? THAT'S RIGHT. NOTHING.

QOL!

 

 

The following changes have been made to the friend list:

 

 

 

Characters in the friend list can now be freely sorted into groups, and these groups can be labeled.

 

* A player’s friends will not be able to see which group they have been placed in, or the name of that group.

* Grouping information is stored on the server side, but group names are stored on the client side.

 

 

 

The friend list can now be filtered to show only the groups of a player’s choosing.

 

 

 

The friend list can now be sorted by the following four methods: friend number, oldest first, newest first, or alphabetical.

 

 

Yiiiis

[Maril]

4 star crafting..

Q.Q

[Unnamed Mercenary]

Four. Star. Crafting.

GLA/PLD get increased enmity on Flash, and Circle of Scorn now has an enmity modifier! Sweet, they needed that.

 

Storm's Eye buff for WARs... not complaining.

 

Shortened animation locks for DRG jumps... yes please and thank you.

 

If you go into any of the pre-2.4 Lv 50+ dungeons with iLVL 111 or more, you will be synced down to 110. Seems fair and appropriate.

 

Soldiery gear is going to be available for Allied Seals from Hunts... hmm.

Hmm. HMMMM.

[Oscare]

New rank. New tasty gear <3333

 

Shiva EX too! And the gear for Poetics sounds cool. Also, the Weathered -> Unweathered system was confirmed to be a thing since before these patch notes. There's going to be a different version of Sands of Time/Oils of Time for them. 

 

I feel sorry for the crafters. :<
