Full 2.5 patch notes!

[Cliodhna Eoghan]

it appears you can buy moonstones from the gc's......i now have no more excuses put off catching a clefairy... .___.

 

[Jana]

Still waiting for that PSO2 crossover... Coming never...

[Kage]

Yes but honestly those aren't the ones that did super well for Level-5 and their consumers.

 

Inazuma Eleven... and most especially Youkai Watch. It's almost like their version of Pokemon in terms of sales.

 

But that thing.. people are going to.. ride that.. thing..

 

Nope, not an excuse. People ride the ahriman after all.

[Tiergan]

FENRIR MOUUUNNNT! I hope he's just an ultra rare drop from Snowcloak and not something insane.

[Aduu Avagnar]

Eugh. I just realised plat nuggets and mastercraft should peak again in price. I need to grab one of each before they do...

[Duskwright]

These look amazing! Emperor's new everything.. Ehehehe~ Finally.. no gloves! I can't wait! I can't wait!

[Delilah Scythewood]

Game is up!

[Aduu Avagnar]

Already? Damn. Earlier than I anticipated. So much for getting hold of the stuff for my artisans apron

[Aaron]

FENRIR OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

 

Aaron and me OOC and IC are Fenrir addicts, one of my dogs are called Fenrir, Aaron's wolf pup is called Fenrir, one of Aaron's swords is named Fenrir. AND NOW A MOUNT!?

 

WHEN AND HOW GODDAMMIT TELL ME D:<

[Clover]

Aaaah, I wish my computer hadn't died right today, but I guess I should have seen it coming because it always happens when something is released ;_;

Still, I'm excited to see screens of all the new items/mounts/pets/whatever!

[Kellach Woods]

would like to add:

called it!

 

*officially flips his shit and swears to never fucking craft again*

 

So, think I'm just going to get everything to 50 and just stop playing since there's dick all I can do after that apparently.

 

Yes, it only takes the OBVIOUS addition to crafting items to make me salty as fuck about this game.

 

Like, I legitimately don't know what I can actually do anymore.

dont worry, I gave up trying to attain that, lost 3 artisans needles in a row at 80% chance, and Mastercraft Demimateria have jumped to 350k

[Kellach Woods]

Yah, but I'm just straight up giving up on everything.

 

I can't get anywhere without getting carried PvE wise and crafting-wise even if I wanted to actually bust my ass and attain it, materia is the worst fucking thing ever made in this game.

 

Like, I can deal with Atma's prior drop rate FAR MORE than fucking materia. Especially since it's for so little fucking gain.

[Steel Wolf]

I know the content will be there, waiting.

I know there's no rush and it'll all still be new and stuff.

I know there's plenty of time for me to get it all soaked in.

 

...that said?

 

This eight hour work day is going to be THE LONGEST WORK DAY OF MY LIFE OMG CLOCK WRYYYYYYY T_T

[Erik Mynhier]

I don't want to spoil it.... but that thing we get from the Lake. You know the thing that you were all like "OMFG!!!!!" How do I get it off my damn shoulder?

[Kellach Woods]

I rescind everything I may have said before. This patch best patch.

 

Star-Spangled Subligar.

 

YOU WILL BE SUBJECTED TO IT.

[Gegenji]

Man, I have plans for getting Tatami Mats and they provide a full on tatami floor? Might have to rework my ideas some.

 

Plus a Doman style bath and a Kotetsu? More things to try and figure out how both to place in his room and obtain TO be placed in said room. Well, more the latter than the former, since that's just "pull out old bathtub, put in new one" unless the dimensions are far different than expected.

I like the full floor but... YOU CAN'T HAVE A WORKSHOP ON TATAMI FLOOR T_T;

[Gegenji]

... what, why?

 

This is relevant to my interests because I plan to have my ARM forge and BSM table on tatami in a corner of my FC room. I just have it on carpet right now because I can't afford the tatami mats quite yet. If there's something that's going to keep me from using the tatami carpet alternative, I need to know.

[Kage]

More like... I'm afraid that the foundry and forges are gonna drop embers on it.

 

Then whoosh flames.

[Melodia]

Anyone know what times the unaspected crystals pop in Mor Dhona?

[Zyrusticae]

For those interested, 2.5 music is up on Soundcloud.

 

https://soundcloud.com/ffxivunnoficial1

The music this patch is GLORIOUS.

 

Dat World of Darkness theme

 

Dat Keeper of the Lake theme (remix of Mor Dhona's theme!)

 

Dat Wanderer's Palace HM theme

 

I'll never stop listening.

[Coatleque]

Alexandrite drop rate for completing FATEs has been increased.

 

I have not once received an Alexandrite for a FATE. Can someone in-game confirm this? Has it risen to the drop rates of ATMAs now? Can I stop grinding maps now?

 

Or am I getting my hopes up of ever progressing my relic?

[Zyrusticae]

I'm honestly surprised there are people still on the Novus phase.

 

I've got nearly enough Alexandrite for THREE Novuses at this point, and that's just from doing the daily on a regular basis.

 

That being said... honestly? If you're still on the Novus phase you may as well just save up for the soldiery weapon, then the poetics weapon. Much less time and effort involved, and ultimately less monotonous and grindy.

 

I personally regret ever bothering with my BRD relic. Still working on the Nexus phase (though admittedly I'm very nearly finished with that) and definitely NOT looking forward to that next phase...

"Increase" is vague when the drop was so rare before. Hell, increasing it to match original Atma droprates is still a vast improvement.

 

How many have you done so far? None of my other sources are updated for that part yet, wondering what your sample size is so far.

 

Prepost edit: Unless you meant you've never gotten one before today, at which point we can just nod in agreement. <1%.

 

Postpost edit: 75 x x = 225, June 6 2014+ 225 days = Jan 16.

 

It only required expert roulette nearly every single day. Less unintentional bragging, more information please?

 

Besides, Yoshi noted that relic weapon will in fact continue being improved on going into Heavensward in the patch-notes interview, so... No reason to dissuade people.
