      "You'll never defeat me with your sad little shout party!"
       The following enemy weakness adjustments, formerly exclusive to the final chapter of Voidwatch, will apply to all jurisdictions.
    • Triggering weaknesses will lower enemies’ attack and magic attack power.
    • Abilities and spells learned via merit points will not trigger enemy weaknesses.
    • The thief ability Bully will trigger enemy weaknesses.
    • All pet special attacks will be able to strike enemy weaknesses.
    • The ranger ability Bounty Shot will not trigger enemy weaknesses.
    • Wyvern breath attacks will not trigger enemy weaknesses.
    • Only a single blood pact for each avatar will trigger enemy weaknesses (Thank you.)
    • All automation abilities and special attacks will trigger enemy weaknesses.
    • The scholar ability Modus Veritas will not trigger enemy weaknesses.
  • The "Void Cluster," a new key item that may be used to weaken Voidwalkers, has been added.
  • The following equipment items, hereafter to be known as "Pulse Panoplia"—a reference to their luminescent appearance—may now be converted to new items called Pulse Cells.
  • Anhur Robe / Fazheluo Radiant Mail / Mextli Harness / Mekira Meikogai / Toci's Harness / Heka's Kalasiris /Asteria / Borealis / Coruscanti / Ephemeron / Murasamemaru / Delphinius / Aytanri
    Pulse Cell Conversion
    1. When obtaining a pulse weapon or piece of armor from a Riftworn Pyxis, select "Obtain as pulse cell."
      Items obtainable as pulse cells will be marked with a star.
      Pulse cells are stackable (up to 12), deliverable, and may be traded or sold at bazaars and the auction house.
    2. Trade five of any one variety of pulse cell to the NPC Ardrick (Jugner Forest, I-8) to obtain the corresponding piece of pulse equipment.
      *In order to have equipment reconstructed, players must possess the designation for defeating the Voidwalker that drops the corresponding item.
Seriously? Is this so keep someone from getting Toci's Harness twice? Perhaps.

  • [dev1118] Legion Adjustments
    • The Legion Libretto, which allows players to choose what fanfare plays during battle, has been added to battlefield antechambers.
      *Only the group leader who originally traded the Legion Pass will be able to change the music.
    • The key items required to participate in Legion battlefields and their prices have been adjusted as follows:

      Key ItemPrice
      18-playerLegion tome page: minimus180,000 gil
      36-playerLegion tome page: maximus360,000 gil
      *Legion tome pages already in the player's possession at the time of the update will be automatically converted to maximus pages.
      Players wishing to participate in reduced-difficulty 18-player battlefields will be required to purchase minimus pages anew.
This was needed. 1mil gil for 1 hour to kill a bunch of HNMS didn't seem fair.

    Random Picture Time!
  • [dev1120] Fellow Adjustments
  • [dev1121] Limit Break Quest Adjustments

    In Defiant Challenge
    • A new method for obtaining the required quest items has been added. In other words, no more hunting Lichs and praying for the drop. I paid a SMN to help me with this years ago. Kinda funny.

  • [dev1121] A new method for opening the Banishing Gates in Garlaige Citadel has been added.
    Players may open the gates alone by obtaining the "pouch of weighted stones" key item from the ??? target in Garlaige Citadel (G-8) and examining each of the three gates. No need for friends!
  • [dev1121] The Brass Door on the top floor of Castle Oztroja (H-7) will remain open for a longer period of time.

    Battle-related
  • The following job adjustments and refinements have been implemented:
    • [dev1109] Summoner

        • Water Spirit: Water V (Lv.80)
        • Light Spirit: Protect V / Shell V (Lv.76)
  • The method by which the ranger ability Decoy Shot determines which character will accrue enmity from the ranger's attacks has been refined.
  • The following items are now dropped by more enemies, and the rate at which they drop has been increased:
    Blue Mage's Testimony / Corsair's Testimony / Puppermaster's Testimony
Item-related

  • New synthesis recipes have been introduced.
  • Sell-back price of Holy Water has been adjusted.
  • New Porter Moogle Slips have been introduced.


System-related
  • The Other Maps option has been added to the Map section of the main menu, allowing players to view maps and set markers for areas other than the one which they are currently exploring.
    *Maps not owned by the player cannot be displayed.
  • The new text command /displayhead has been added and allows players to hide or display their headgear.
  • The waiting period between synthesis attempts has been reduced.
