The following category has been removed from Authorization in the Free Company interface: Guestbook management Fertilizing crops in the garden of your free company estate will no longer result in a message being posted in the Activity window of the Free Company interface. This change has been made to reduce the amount of gardening related messages displayed in this window. Housing Aetherial wheels have been added, which can convert stored energy into company actions. Free companies can now charge aetherial wheels on estate grounds. These wheels acumulate aether over time, which can be used to acquire company actions without the use of company credits. In order to charge aetherial wheels, free companies must first obtain an aetherial wheel stand, which can be purchased from housing merchants in any residential district. The aetherial wheels themselves can be crafted using alchemy. How to Use an Aetherial Wheel 1. Place an aetherial wheel stand in your free company estate. 2. Set your desired aetherial wheel on the aetherial wheel stand, and leave it to accumulate aether over a fixed period of time. 3. Once it is fully charged, the primed aetherial wheel may be removed from the stand. 4. Accessing the aetherial wheel stand again will give you the option to convert the primed aetherial wheel into company actions. 5. After converting the primed aetherial wheel, the corresponding actions will become available immediately. Retainers can now be placed on estate grounds outside the hall. An expansion of duties permit is required to place a retainer on your estate grounds outside the hall. These permits can be purchased from independent sutlers in any residential district. One, two, or three retainers can be placed on small, medium, and large estates respectively. Once a retainer is placed on estate grounds, items that they currently have listed for sale on the market can be purchased by anyone who speaks with them. The retainer's sales history (up to 20 entries) can also be viewed by other players. Placing retainers on estate grounds does not impact your ability to summon them via summoning bells to deposit and withdraw items, or to assign retainer ventures. The position of the targeting arrow that appears when the chocobo stable is selected has been moved to the sign post to improve visibility. Selecting a culinarian furnishing will display a dialog prompt to confirm the parameter bonuses to be received.

Kellach Woods Posted January 16, 2015 Share #6 Posted January 16, 2015 I like this patch overall. Link to comment
Clover Posted January 16, 2015 Share #7 Posted January 16, 2015 The excitement is real! My favourite part of the new patch notes is the adding of new hairstyles. All the male ones are too good. New armour doesn't do anything for my main character, truth be told, so I'm not crazy about them. Aaaand I'm both curious and scared about the new PVP mode, but ultimately I'm glad that PVP level didn't raise. Link to comment
TheLastCandle Posted January 16, 2015 Share #8 Posted January 16, 2015 Those new dungeon drop sets. Everybody who was hoping for the Qarn HM armor including the helmet, thou art REDEEMED Link to comment
Kage Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share #9 Posted January 16, 2015 I said that after the trailer! We'd get them~ For those who are interested in Odin. http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Primal_Fear Link to comment
Telluride Posted January 16, 2015 Share #10 Posted January 16, 2015 Those new dungeon drop sets. Everybody who was hoping for the Qarn HM armor including the helmet, thou art REDEEMED Is that the Monk and Ninja gear on the two to the far left? I call that a want. The far right, though... I have a sudden image of Roegadyn males selling scrolling ad space on what is otherwise an odd piece of chest ornamentation for them. Link to comment
Steel Wolf Posted January 16, 2015 Share #11 Posted January 16, 2015 Awe yeaaaahh...the iLevel requirement for this new tasty is actually within my reach! I need to get ST in, though. Time for the hype!! Link to comment

Everybody who was hoping for the Qarn HM armor including the helmet, thou art REDEEMED Is that the Monk and Ninja gear on the two to the far left? I call that a want. I'd wager the far left is Ninja, just next to it is Dragoon and the second from right is Monk! Using the head pieces as my guessing point. Link to comment

Looks like all 3 melee DPS are getting the same set recolored, but at least the head pieces are different. Link to comment
Sounsyy Posted January 16, 2015 Share #14 Posted January 16, 2015 Am I the only one excited one of the new Moogle Delivery Quests looks like it's going to focus on Wawalago??? THE WAWALAGO PULLERS ARE BAAAAAAAACK! =D Also, totally thought of D'ly when I saw Mist vendors are adding a Dodo Nest item. Guess what I'm not excited for. Talan has new DoH/L MH items... I just got my Ironworks Fishing Rod... I don't want to replace it already! And I have to farm Gigant Clams to get it?? Merp... Oh well... Guess I'll make that 113 Big Fish... Link to comment
Aduu Avagnar Posted January 16, 2015 Share #15 Posted January 16, 2015 Click here for the notes~ Text only version The last two quests are ??? for Spoilers. Odin is included in the "Chronicles of a New Era" header but not the chain itself? Syrcus tower starts that off "Shades of Sil'dih" and "Sibling Strife" better be more info about Telediji. The new quest for when you've collected all the ponies is here! now Ineed to try and farm all the primals in any case, we can now have our own shops at personal/FC houses!!! also, Desynth levels no longer decrease unless you are at the maximum drop rate for ponies increased!!! yaaaaaaas and my final point - It says that recipes have been added to existing Master Books, but nothing about new Master books being added.... YAY Link to comment
MadWater Posted January 16, 2015 Share #16 Posted January 16, 2015 All players will receive PvP EXP and Wolf Marks, as well as Allagan tomestones of soldiery and Allagan tomestones of philosophy based on their performance. Yesss! Gotta get that sick Darklight gear! Link to comment

From left to right: NIN, DRG, Healers, ???, ???, MNK, Tanks Hard to tell whether the Miqo'te or the Highlander is the BRD. You must defeat Greg before 60 players log onto the server. Also, Miqo'te looks more BRD to me. It's the hat. I think the Highlander must be... DPS caster? The garb looks like a darker version of the white gear, which is a duality that's been done before.

Think Miqo'te is actually BLM/SMN, while Highlander is BRD. It would follow the SCOB caster/BRD trend + color scheme. Also, the hat the Miqo'te is wearing is actually the Maelstrom Allied Seal Mage Hat. For some reason, SE loves giving BRDs eyepatches... Link to comment

They are both recolours of the Healer one, the middle one looks more caster to me, given it has that hat! (and the other has an eyepatch) Link to comment
Berrod Armstrong Posted January 16, 2015 Share #23 Posted January 16, 2015 I'm so stoked about that sports-bra monk set, you don't even know finally, proper support for Berrod's ridiculously massive pecs Link to comment

Oroban Posted January 16, 2015 Share #25 Posted January 16, 2015 I know they're only prelim patch notes, but the lack of exposition on the two different item lockouts in WoD has me mildly concerned. I guess we'll see come next week! Link to comment
