Here's the link, will update as I read.

http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl ... 388613fc28

EDIT1:

Quote:
The manner in which skill points are awarded through combat has been changed and now operates in the same manner as experience points.

The rank range that allows for bonus skill and experience point within a party has been expanded from ±5 to +5/-10.

Ex. In a party of three players, ranks 10, 15, and 20, the rank 10 player receives bonuses equivalent to that of a two-person party, as only one of the other players is within the rank range. From the perspectives of the rank 15 and 20 players, however, both of the other two party members fall within the rank range. They will therefore both receive bonuses equivalent to a three-person party.


EDIT2: Man this is a huge ass page. Will take forever to format for the forum so I'm not gonna paste it all here.

EDIT3: Lol

There's another page with a comprehensive list of exactly what synthesis recipes and stuff have been changed:

http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl ... kldue.html

Big change I noticed was a lot of synths that required whole crystals now only use shards (eg. Nuggets from Ore)

EDIT:
Quote:
The number of crystals required for nearly all existing recipes has been reduced by 20%


I was hoping for a bigger discount than 20%, blah.

Of all the things that seems to be missing from this patch, I don't think the retainer searching made it in, which kinda sucks.

Then there's vague statements like this one that could be good but probably won't due to it's vagueness:

Quote:
Reponse time of the user interface (UI) has been improved.


Some worrying statements (due to their vaugeness) like this one:

Quote:
The effects of each synthesis type (normal, bold, rapid) have been adjusted.


Then there's some stuff nobody really asked for like being able to change the game font, lol. Welcome I guess but not exactly something people were clamoring for.

A few humourous ones liks this one, do they just turn naked as people buy stuff from them?

Quote:
Retainers can now be made to "model" their wares by equipping items in their bazaars.


Overall, looking good so far but will need to have a play about to get a feel. Sure it's mostly just adding a lot of the UI stuff we already had back in FFXI, but it's a lot of improvement so it's welcome.

EDIT: Ha, arrows now stack to 999. Archers everywhere rejoice.

Boo, they nerfed Tranquility/Exaltation:

Quote:
Changing classes incurs a full recast timer.


And they nerfed punishing barbs too:

Quote:
Effect duration reduced from 60 seconds to 20 seconds.
Stamina cost reduced from 6 to 3.
Damage dealt by spikes cannot exceed player's current HP.
Affinity value for other classes adjusted.


But they fixed the stupid HP regen shit:

Quote:
A log message appears when an enemy returns to its territory.
Enemies that return to their territory will not recover HP for a certain period of time.

Btw, I'm not sure many people have actually noticed this because it's not on the main update page, but a bunch of the higher level crafting tools got hit with a nerf stick.

Looks good, now let's just hope they didn't fuck the engine up and make it lag like shit since they added those drawing dropdowns to the settings.

Good, I guess, lol. Makes no difference but hey.

The crafting menus are a hell of a lot faster now, especially picking ingredients. They've obviously moved it client side and only server-side calls when you actually submit (click "Main Hand") your ingredients.

I'm disappointed about the ore to nuggets requiring shards since I had been saving up sand and fire crystals forever now =/

Kitty says GLA have been gimped. We don't have any other people as MRD to really mentioned. The Auto-sort feature is pretty handy, and equipping gear is waaaaaay better.

The shard reduction is kinda lame. 20% reduction. Better than nothing, but I wish it were more like 50%. A lot of new tools were added, which is good. A lot of recipes were made easier, making some common SP paths changed for different craft classes. Weaving got a big buff in the sense that a cloth synth now makes 3 cloth instead of just 1. So it behaves sort of like leather making.

Soloing seems a lot more viable for people now, but Rush reports that 150-200 SP a fight is pretty common for party fights now and targeting easier mobs to kill faster is the way to go. 10k/hour SP.

Kayne and I noticed that it seems we run slower now, though. Kitty didn't seem to notice. We'll see what others think.

No Retainer searching yet. :(

So far I'm pretty happy with the changes.
