      No matter if you are a new Pictomancer player or just want to refresh your knowledge about the class, this updated Job Guide for patch 7.05 is for you!
      The Pictomancer is one of two exciting new jobs that were introduced with Final Fantasy XIV's current expansion, Dawntrail. Many players have either switched main to this unique class or leveled it as an alt job. However, mastering the Pictomancer can be quite challenging because of its special mechanics and different playstyle. That is why we are excited to share a new video guide, made by one of our content creators, Juliacare, with you. The guide covers all essential details about the job, including optimal rotations at Level 100 and more!
      You can view the video below:
      For players who prefer a written guide, we got you covered as well! Our updated Pictomancer guide here on Icy Veins' FFXIV section provides a comprehensive overview of the job, including its skills, rotations, and tips for maximizing your performance:

      Yoshi-P revealed plans at Gamescom 2024 for more challenging content in FFXIV, including a new raid in the upcoming Dawntrail patch and hints of a 24-Man Savage Raid.
      During Gamescom 2024, PCGames.com interviewed Naoki Yoshida, who revealed that he plans to make combat more difficult. Dawntrail has already experienced big improvements in that regard, with more distinct mechanics and designs, and Yoshi-P hopes to keep that momentum going in the future.
      The upcoming patch of FFXIV will include the Dawntrail Alliance Raid, and Yoshi-P has also mentioned a 24-player Savage Raid! His plan is to continuously create more diverse dungeons and raids, to always challenge players with new mechanics, and to force us to develop new fighting strategies.
      The upcoming alliance raid will have standard difficulty, but Yoshi-P is convinced that groups will wipe at least three times on their first run! The idea was not to make it harder, but rather to give a more engaging experience for raiders.
      Not much was mentioned about the savage version, although he did suggest that the boss will be completely different. So, potentially entirely separate content? It is also possible that the savage alliance raid will be linked to a new instance similar to Bozja, which would explain the boss being different from the actual normal alliance raid.
      Further details about this will be delivered soon, as both the normal Alliance raid and the savage one will release with 7.1! This patch will also welcome the new Ultimate Raid!
