Generally, Preliminary Notes = Full Notes - Anything that affects the market

A list of things we didn't know about or are worth pointing out. Lots more things too, just pointing out a few highlights:

You do need to finish the Odin quests at Quarrymill to unlock Odin. Hop to it.

Aetherial Wheel is basically a thing you put in your FC house that allows you to get company actions without spending credits.

Retainers can now be put outside houses to sell things, bazaar style. House size limits how many retainers can be outside at a time.

Changing classes in any sanctuary (not just towns) no longer incurs a cooldown penalty. I.E. you can change jobs at camps now.

The 3 new dungeons are now Expert roulette. Previous 3 are now part of the ever increasing massive hard mode roulette list. Yes you'll need to do all of these to re-unlock expert roulette.

Soulglazed weapon rate increased. Speed increase for "Light farming" for Nexus.

Item level sync (i110) has been re-instated for older dungeons. Does not apply to 2.4 dungeons (Snowcloak et al.) Sorry, Zodiac dungeon speed runners.

The Echo added to Shiva (lol). Both hard and extreme.

Borderland Ruins (Slaughter) is a new PvP mode that works like team deathmatch instead of node capture. Get points for killing people and other enemies and first to top wins.

Borderland Ruins (Slaughter) replaces the limit break bar with an "Adrenaline" bar. This is a *personal* limit break bar that allows you to perform new limit breaks that only consume your own bar.

Desynth no longer randomly lowers skills unless you are at the combined point maximum!

Desynth cap has been increased! 110 per tradecraft and 350 total.

Quote:
The "Most Gentlemanly" pose has been added.

Welp.

Quote:
Signs will now be displayed on the enmity list.

FUCK. YES.

Also, /random returns as a command! Hurrah!

I thought Hildibrand's big bend over/flex was just the highlander /pose. eh

Weird, there's a quest where in order to flag it you need all the Ex primal elemental mounts.

Quote:
The difficulty of crafting isolator components and auxiliary aerodynamo components in daily beast tribe quests has been reduced.


Hopefully they mean "The quality requirement for HQ" These are the 1558 quality items.

Aether wheel basically sounds like the way materia works, except the whole FC builds up the item, and a company action is the result.

Quote:
Players can now obtain an Allagan catalyst from the Labyrinth of the Ancients and Syrcus Tower.


A what? Crafting ingredients?

Some new spoiler trial in the storyline that they're only listing as "???"

Players can now obtain high-quality antumbral rocks and redolent logs. (new gear from Talan)

Players will now be invulnerable to area attacks while gathering if they have not gained aggro from enemies.

The Search Results window will no longer close after making a purchase via the market board!

The odin trial is listed as (Hard) so maybe there will be an Extreme at a later date? Not guaranteed since Ultima is strictly hard mode but eh.

It was announced a week or two ago that yoshi was including a new mount you could only obtain if you had all the primal mounts. I'm guessing that's the Kirin mount.
