There's a ton of stuff in there. I love quality of life patches almost more than content ones.

Looks like with Novus you can completely replace the stats on your relic weapon with others of your choosing. Has your relic weapon been plagued with Skill Speed + Accuracy? Want to replace it Critical Hit Rate + Determination instead? Well now you can! You can even change which of the stats is now the dominant one.

Example. Making Critical Hit Rate the dominant stat, and replacing Accuracy with Skill Speed:



Note: Right now, you can only do this once. They're allowing you to redo the process to change these stats again in a "later update".

P.S. If you've been waiting for the "myth buff" before starting your Animus, then I'm afraid you're out of luck. They have increased the amount of myth you get for doing your duty roulette each day (but not Expert), but the actual dungeons do not give extra myth, and the books do not cost less.

EDIT: Actually, Labyrinth of the Ancients (CT) now gives 150 myth instead of 100, woo.

I just like that we can queue dailies as a party now

2.6GB download is excessive BT needs to hurry up with this fibre upgrade they are doing here.

Duty Roulette: High Level 50 -> 70

- Crafting Log can be filtered by category.
- Gathering Log opens map when an item is selected.

- Crafters repairing an item that is below 100% (99%) adds 100% durability. Maximum of 199%. This means you don't lose out by repairing it early.
- You do not need to change class to repair items. Doesn't say if you need to be carrying the appropriate tool but is probably the case.
- You can repair items inside instances.

- Gear preview. Right click an item and "Try On".

- More added later (e.g. from Loot pool).

- Levi Extreme + Moogle Extreme now available via Duty Finder.
- Roulette "Expert" and "High Level" can be queued in a party. Only those two.
- Duty finder list displays total obtained myth/sold tomes from a dungeon if you defeat every boss.

- Party list is sorted automatically when entering a duty. You can now configure the party list sorting order from the UI. This can be configured separately per role!

- You can commend other players even if you queued with a party. (Not the people you queued with)

- Can configure Party Finder to notify you about parties by filter. (E.g. inform you specifically if a Leviathan group appears)
- Can't join a Party Finder group if the leader has blacklisted you.

- Flying text now shows name of item instead of "Item Obtained".

- Right click an item on the market board and "Search for Item" and it will tell you if you already have one in your inventory somewhere. Doesn't mention retainers, but maybe?

- Automatic /AFK status if you go afk. Can be configured.

- Teleports can now be "saved". If somebody tries to teleport you, you can stock it and use it later. Will be lost if you zone.
- Teleports can no longer be used if engaged with an enemy.
- Can teleport to an aetheryte by clicking on it on the map.

- Athernet names changed for some of the confusing ones (e.g. The Bismark -> Culinarian's Guild.)

- FATE icons on the map will now tell you the % completion if you hover over them. So you know if they're almost over before running there.

- Weather name is now shown when hovered over on the minimap.

- Chat input window text is now in color of current chat mode.
- Linked item names now show color.

- "The <wait.x> command will no longer be executed when used on a line that incurs a text command error."

- When creating a macro, multiple instances of the same sound effect can now be used a maximum of three times on a single line. Play a noise three times by putting it on your macro three times? Hurray for annoying.

- Pet stance (e.g Heel/Obey) is now shown on the party list next to the pet.

- Incapacitated (dead) character names now shown in grey on the party list. Characters out of a zone now show HP "???" instead of "0".

- Titles can be shown under a character name. You can set your title in your profile on the character window. Whether you can see other character's titles is a configuration setting and can be set differently for self/party/etc.

- More /changepose poses. No text log when you do it anymore.
- Change pose can be set to automatically happen after a random number of seconds if you stand still.
- Last used pose is saved, and will revert to that pose after using another emote.

- Emote window now has icons and tabs to organise it better.

- Lots of other random crap.

And a final two random spot from the bugfixes list:

- Haukke Hard can no longer be used to complete an Animus book that requires Haukke Easy.
- Leaving an instance before other characters have finished loading now incurs a penalty as intended.

From what people are posting, novus seems like it's going to be an expensive pain in the ass involving a ton of materia.

par for the course

Yup. Materia prices are out of control right now. Should have stayed up for the patch and then just started buying shit... spirit bonding is gonna suck major ass.

It seems to be a tiered system... where you must use t1 to be able to use t2 and so on. The success rate apparently diminishes the further along you get. It's really reminiscent of the pains of relic 1.0....

Sounds like a lot of good fixes. Even the minor ones. The Bismarck --> Culinarians guild was a complaint of mine actually. I always forgot the damn name and ported to the wrong place half the time.

I never repaired my own gear even though I had plenty of dark matter along with the crafting jobs leveled. It was tedious to change jobs and manually do it. I'm glad they finally fixed that.

The title under the character name is cool. I wonder if that will just crowd the screen and look annoying though. It's nice you have the option to hide in configs.

As a map-a-holic I would totally use the aetheryte click.

With the addition of vanity, I found myself purchasing random gear from the wards for potential vanity...only to be dissappointed when it didn't look as cool on my character as it did on others. It's nice you can preview it.

Of course the customizable relic is the best looking change. It's a shame it sounds pretty tedious and difficult to obtain...I suppose that will make it more rewarding though .

Tempted to sell my crit and det materia now since the soldiery weapon already has it.

My problem right this second is an overload of accuracy. Going back to the basic relic spear (Acc/crit) wouldn't be so hot. Det high/crit low would be cool though. Think that's 30/30 at 110. Not sure if I'll get cracking on this since Liberator is fine as is, but since it's relic I'll have to get to it at some damn point.

In other words Corwin sell me your shit.
