Newfound Adventures Preliminary Patch Notes Released

Recommended Posts

NewAdv.png

After much waiting and a whole lot of sneak peeks at the content to come, Patch 6.1's patch notes are finally available!

It's no secret that - at least in my years of playing FFXIV - Patch 6.1 seems to be the most anticipated major patch of the game that wasn't an outright release of an expansion. The preliminary patch notes have been released today, and while they're subject to change, it still gives us a pretty good idea of what to expect.

Unfortunately, no information about job changes has been released with these notes. But we can continue to hope that will change before the patch itself! (And hope they fix Living Dead and Blood Weapon for DRK but that's just a personal thing for me...) Buckle up and read them below, and let us know what you think! (You might want to grab your coffee and a snack, fellow Warriors of Light. This is a lot!)

A new type of PvP match between small teams, Crystalline Conflict, has been added.

4ef995518bea6aaa2fd0b5efbe7adf24b20f7a6f

Crystalline Conflict PvP duties pit teams Astra and Umbra against one another in tactical confrontations. Each team may have up to five players, for a total of ten match participants. Teams are challenged to maintain control over a tactical crystal, which must be transported to a designated location amid the heat of battle.

There are three arenas currently available for Crystalline Conflict matches─the Palaistra, the Volcanic Heart, and Cloud Nine.

The Palaistra

4ef995518bea6aaa2fd0b5efbe7adf24b20f7a6f

The Volcanic Heart

4ef995518bea6aaa2fd0b5efbe7adf24b20f7a6f

Cloud Nine

Rules

The rules of engagement for Crystalline Conflict are outlined below.

Duty   Details
Level Requirement   One or more jobs at level 30 or above
Time Limit   5 mins

Entering the Arena

Casual Matches
Results have no bearing on your ranking in Crystalline Conflict.
Custom Match
Results have no bearing on your ranking in Crystalline Conflict. Register with two parties of five players via the Duty Finder. There are no restrictions on party composition.
Ranked Matches
Register solo via the Duty Finder. Results will influence your ranking in Crystalline Conflict.

Role Requirements

There are no role requirements for Crystalline Conflict parties. However, matchmaking will ensure that no two players have the same job within a single party.

Basic Rules

Beginning the Match

Participants will be divided into Team Astra and Team Umbra and transported to their respective starting points. After a 30-second waiting period, the match will begin.

Chatting

Only Quick Chat is available during casual and ranked matches.
Custom matches allow for standard chat features in addition to Quick Chat.

Retaliation

Incapacitated players will be returned to their base after a short delay, where they will be allowed to rejoin combat with their HP and MP fully restored and all action recast timers reset.

Level and Item Level

When participating in Crystalline Conflict, all player attributes will be updated to their PvP counterparts.

Restrictions

The use of the following is prohibited while participating in Crystalline Conflict:

  • Class or job changes
  • Chocobo companions
  • Mounts
  • Teleportation
  • Return
  • Items
  • Gear changes

Abandoning Matches

Players who abandon a Crystalline Conflict match (not including players who join a match in progress or are vote kicked) will receive a penalty. Players so penalized will be unable to use the Duty Finder for 30 minutes.

Players inactive for over a period of two minutes will automatically be removed from play.

* Players who remain inside the duty with less than the required number of party members, or are participating in a custom match, will not receive a penalty.

Victory Conditions

To win, one team must move the tactical crystal from the center of the field to the goal point. If neither team accomplishes this during the time limit, the match will proceed into overtime.

The team with a greater progress score must keep the entire opposing team out of the bounds of the tactical crystal for three seconds to win. The team with a lesser progress score must beat the opponent's progress score during overtime to win.

* If neither team can fulfill the overtime victory requirements, the match will end in a draw.

The Tactical Crystal

4ef995518bea6aaa2fd0b5efbe7adf24b20f7a6f

The all-important object placed at the arena's centerpoint is called the "tactical crystal."

The tactical crystal will remain bound until the first 30 seconds of the match have passed. Once the tactical crystal is unbound, a ring will appear at its base. Should one team be fully in control of this ring─with no members of the opposing team present within its bounds─that team will be able to move the crystal.

Transporting the Tactical Crystal

The crystal can only be moved along the crystal line─a dedicated path within the arena.

Its movement will be halted when combatants from both teams are present within its bounds. When combatants from neither team are present, the crystal will move back toward the centerpoint.

4ef995518bea6aaa2fd0b5efbe7adf24b20f7a6f

Tactical Crystal Speed

Should the tactical crystal be wrestled from your team's control, and you manage to reclaim it, the crystal will travel faster when moving back through a stretch of the line your team has moved it once before.
* Even if your team has failed to claim the crystal for the entirety of the match, once your team has gained control of the crystal, it will move at increased speed until it has returned to the centerpoint.

Checkpoints and Progression

Checkpoints can be found halfway between the centerpoint and each team's goal. Upon reaching a checkpoint, the tactical crystal will stop moving.

4ef995518bea6aaa2fd0b5efbe7adf24b20f7a6f

The team attempting to clear the checkpoint must remain in the crystal's ring until the Clear Progress gauge reaches 100%. The gauge will only increase so long as that team holds control of the ring. A greater majority of party members in the ring will hasten the gauge's progression.

Should the opposing team have a greater majority at any point, the tactical crystal will begin moving toward the opposing team's goal. However, any progress made in clearing the checkpoint will not be lost.

4ef995518bea6aaa2fd0b5efbe7adf24b20f7a6f

Advanced Rules

Crystalline Conflict arenas include a variety of tactically useful elements to make matches more dynamic.

Sprint Zones

4ef995518bea6aaa2fd0b5efbe7adf24b20f7a6f

The Palaistra and Volcanic Heart feature unique paths suited to running. Entering these "sprint zones" will grant the effect of Swift Sprint, greatly increasing player movement speed.

Jump Glyphs

4ef995518bea6aaa2fd0b5efbe7adf24b20f7a6f

Cloud Nine is equipped with jump glyphs. Stepping on a jump glyph will rapidly transport you to a specific location on the field.

Arena Events: Eruption

4ef995518bea6aaa2fd0b5efbe7adf24b20f7a6f

The Volcanic Heart periodically erupts, scattering self-destructing bombs across the field. Those who fail to avoid their explosive radii will take damage. Bomb cores will remain at the site of bombs' destruction, granting those who acquire them bonuses to damage dealt and limit gauge increases.

Arena Events: Turbulence

4ef995518bea6aaa2fd0b5efbe7adf24b20f7a6f

Players cast up into the air by Cloud Nine's periodic turbulence will take damage upon being returned unceremoniously to the ground. However, they may acquire black chocobo feathers while in the air, granting them a soft landing and nullifying the damage. The locations of black chocobo feathers are indicated by markers on the ground. Those who do not wish to go flying can negate the effects of turbulence by using Guard. Turbulence also leaves behind a twister at the site where it occurred, and can be confirmed on the map. Stumbling into these twisters will result in damage and knockback.

Medicine Kits

4ef995518bea6aaa2fd0b5efbe7adf24b20f7a6f

Each arena comes equipped with medicine kits. Accessing these kits will restore 50% of a player's HP, and each can only be claimed by one player.
* Medicine kits cannot be claimed by those whose HP is at 100%.
* Each kit can only be claimed by one player.
* Once a kit has been claimed, a replacement will be generated after a set period of time has passed.

Seasons

Seasons are periods of time in which players compete to earn the highest tier and Crystal Credit ranks possible. Announcements will be made on the Lodestone marking the beginning and ending of each season.

At the end of each season, players of sufficient rank will receive season rewards. Participants' current ranks are displayed on the Lodestone during a season. Please note that ranks will be reset between seasons.

Ranked Matches

The Bronze through Diamond tiers are divided further into "risers." The number of risers per tier varies.

Tier

A player's tier represents their standing in the hierarchy of Crystalline Conflict. Unlike the Feast, players cannot be demoted over the course of a season. As such, players will retain the current standing even when losing a match immediately after promotion to a higher tier.

Risers

The Bronze through Diamond tiers are divided further into "risers." The number of risers per tier varies.

4ef995518bea6aaa2fd0b5efbe7adf24b20f7a6f

Rising Stars

The new PvP ranking system uses Rising Stars, rather than ratings, to indicate progress within the Unranked through Diamond tiers. When you win a ranked match, you will gain one Rising Star. Similarly, a loss will remove one Star. Once you have earned the maximum Rising Stars for one riser, an additional win will allow you to move up a riser.

  • Winning a match when you have three Rising Stars will allow you to move up a riser, starting with one Rising Star.
4ef995518bea6aaa2fd0b5efbe7adf24b20f7a6f
  • After reaching the top riser for a tier and earning three Rising Stars, an additional win will advance you to the next tier, starting at the lowest riser with one Rising Star.
4ef995518bea6aaa2fd0b5efbe7adf24b20f7a6f
  • Winning three matches in a row will apply a streak bonus, netting you two Rising Stars per win. Earning a streak bonus while you possess two Rising Stars will allow you to move up a riser or tier depending on your current overall standing.
  • While it is possible to move down to a lower riser upon losing a match, you will never drop down to a lower tier during a given season.
  • Moreover, you cannot lose Rising Stars while you are unranked.

The Crystal Tier

There is one tier above Diamond─the Crystal tier. When ranked in this tier, your skill level will be reflected by your Crystal Credit, rather than Rising Stars. Your Crystal Credit score will increase by 100 upon winning a match, and decrease by 100 after losing. Significant differences between your team and the opposing team's average Credit will increase the amount your score changes upon a win or loss. Streak bonuses do not apply to Crystal Credit.

vNEWMNCsOTu709b_kR7LodvPu8.png

A new reward system applicable to all PvP content, Series Malmstones, has been added.

4ef995518bea6aaa2fd0b5efbe7adf24b20f7a6f

The Series Malmstones system provides unique rewards to players who participate in PvP during a given Series─a period of time lasting the duration of one major patch (e.g. from the release of Patch 6.1 until the release of Patch 6.2).

From the release of Patch 6.1, participating in PvP content will earn you Series EXP, which will increase your Series level. Increasing your Series level will unlock various Series rewards.

Series Level

The maximum Series level is 30, though you may continue to accumulate EXP and "extra levels" after that.

Series Rewards

Each Series lasts for a predetermined period of time. After a Series ends, a new one will begin, and available rewards will change accordingly─though rewards earned during one Series can still be claimed during the next. Make sure to check your Series malmstones and claim any earned rewards via the PvP Profile!

Trophy Crystals

A new currency, Trophy Crystals, has been added as a Series reward. Trophy Crystals can be exchanged at the Wolves' Den Pier for a variety of items.

vNEWMNCsOTu709b_kR7LodvPu8.png

The following changes have been made to the Wolves' Den Pier:

Use as Instant Portrait

Selects a portrait that reflects your current appearance. Such portraits are used to introduce players at the start of various duties. As of Patch 6.1, they are used to introduce combatants at the beginning of Crystalline Conflict PvP matches.

Link with Gear Set

When linked with a particular gear set, portraits can be set automatically as your instant portrait whenever you equip said gear set.

It should be noted that portrait data is saved locally. As such, any portraits you have created will not be accessible when playing on a different client.

      With the return of the Yo-Kai event, it is once again time to catch them all and get your hands on original weapons, mounts, and minions, as well as a brand new framer’s kit!
      The beloved Yo-Kai Watch Event is coming back to Eorzea from April 24, 2024, at 8:00 AM GMT (6:00 PM AEST) until the release of Patch 7.0.
      This event will be identical to the previous ones, but with one additional reward: a framer's kit. The quest cannot be taken again if you have already completed it, but you can still earn Yo-Kai medals while equipped with the Yo-Kai Watch! And if you have lost your watch, it can be repurchased from the recompense officers in major cities.
      For this event, start by picking up the quest from the NPC "Poor-heeled Youth" in Ul'dah!

      Once the quest is completed, you will receive your first Yo-Kai watch. With this watch, you will be able to earn Yo-Kai medals from various content:
      Fates in La Noscea, The Black Shroud and Thanalan Fates in All regions of Heavensward Fates in All regions of Stormblood You will need to complete the FATES with either a silver or gold rating to receive medals at the end, and we suggest you team up with other players to make farming more enjoyable.
      Once you have collected enough medals, you can then exchange them for Yo-Kai minions at the Gold Saucer's wandering executive.

      There are a total of 17 different minions to collect, all of which are listed on this page: Yo-kai Watch: Gather One, Gather All!
      After exchanging 13 minions, you will receive the Whisper-go mount!

      Once you befriend all 17 minions, you can speak with Nohi at the Gold Saucer (X:5.2 Y:6.9) and purchase a brand new Yo-Kai watch framer's kit with MGP.
      Additionally, once all minions have been collected, you will be able to gather legendary Yo-Kai medals. These medals allow you to acquire different weapons; one weapon corresponds to each minion. Participating and completing the same Fates with the corresponding minion summoned will reward special Yo-Kai medals, which you can then exchange for the desired weapon.

      For example, if you want the Paw of the Crimson Cat weapon, you will need to complete Fates while equipped with Jibanyan. Occasionally, the Fate will reward you with legendary Jibanyan medals, which can then be exchanged for the weapon at the Gold Saucer's wandering executive. There are a total of 17 weapons to collect, one for each minion.
      After collecting 13 weapons, you will receive the Whisper-a-go-go mount, and after obtaining all 17 weapons, you will receive the Jibanyan Couch mount!

      As collecting medals can be quite challenging, Kaiyoko on Twitter/X has shared a personal guide that can help you identify which Fates to complete to get all the weapons you need:

      In the Realm Resplendent with Warriors of Light segment, Yoshi-P shared some original game statistics and survey results from players. Here are some of the amazing information we have gathered from it:
      Over 30 Million Players worldwide have become Warriors of Light. A total of 159 hours of cutscenes. 4.917 Minutes of amazing Music. 16.096 tons of Materia melded in the past year, an amount equal to the world's total platinum reserves! 46.152 km of corks fired in-game from bottles of Realm Reborn Red in the past year, a distance surpassing the Earth's circumference!
      54.350.656 Liters of concoctions imbibed in the past year, nearly more than the annual ketchup consumption in the US! 26% of players started the game with ARR, 13% with Heavensward, 14% with Stormblood, 34% with Shadowbringers, and 13% with Endwalker! Starbird, Fat Cat and Lesser Panda are the Warriors of Light's favorite minions! Company Chocobo, SDS Fenrir and Fatter Cat are the most beloved mounts. Limsa Lominsa, Gridania and Old Sharlayan are the preferred Home Points. The most Formidable Foes are Hades, The Endsinger and The Warrior of Light. Warriors of Light have also shared what Final Fantasy XIV means to them - a wonderful blend of adventure, family, friends, fun, love, escape, exploration, and so much more!

      On top of that, you can also have a look at the amazing real-life minions belonging to Warriors all over the world:

      After more than a decade, the adventures in Eorzea are far from over. Warriors of Light and Darkness are still needed, and Dawntrail is set to help us create new, incredible memories!

      With the Benchmark now available, players have been busy testing their PCs, and some have already discovered an interesting new detail within the Benchmark!
      Many players have gone over the Dawntrail Benchmark cutscenes, particularly the gear and weapons that can be equipped on the character featured in the cutscene.
      In doing so, some have noticed that certain Viper weapons bear a resemblance to older weapons. For instance, as mentioned by Eksu Plosion on Twitter/X, different weapons for the Dreadwyrm and Omega sets can be seen in the Benchmark.
      The pressing question is: does this mean we will be able to obtain weapons from old ultimate fights or other older raids for the new Jobs?

      Yoshi-P did mention a desire to re-evaluate the rewards from various content, suggesting this could be a possibility. It would be a welcome addition to acquire new job weapons, even if it is just for the purpose of using them as weapon glams, as some of them look really nice.
      It is of course possible that these are merely new leveling weapons, but for now, the question remains unanswered! As the community speculates, only time will reveal the true nature of these newly found details.
