Recommended Posts

With only a few days left before early access and the launch of Dawntrail, here is a quick look into the various new and updated battle systems!

The 48-hour maintenance is currently underway, so now is a great time to review some of the information from the latest patch notes! To that end, here are the important takeaways on battle systems, including PvP.

Battle System

As most of you already know, the level cap for all Disciples of War and Magic has been raised to 100, and the Viper and Pictomancer Jobs have been added.

In accordance with the increased level cap, players can now gain experience from Level 90 dungeons, trials, and 6.x alliance raid dungeons.

Furthermore, old Jobs have received updates, as well as new Job actions: Dawntrail Job Changes

Of course, as you progress through Dawntrail content, you will also encounter entirely new enemies:

These new types of enemies can be found in various new areas, but also inside multiple new dungeons! Regarding dungeons, you will be happy to know that after beginning a boss encounter in dungeons that are introduced in Patch 7.0, the shortcut warp will directly take you to the boss area's entrance.

New trials have also been added, but unreal trials have been disabled temporarily. 

Additionally, you will now receive the power of the Echo in case of a party wipe during the following trials:

  • The Abyssal Fracture
  • The Gilded Araya
  • The Abyssal Fracture (Extreme)

The strength of the Echo granted in Pandæmonium: Anabaseios (Savage) has also been increased.

A new expansion of Stone, Sky, Sea has been added:  The Spire of Trial where you will be tasked with destroying Level 100 striking dummies.

New elite marks have also been added, and Allagan Tomestones were changed.

Last but not least, new duties for Dawntrail have been added to the Expert, Leveling, and Trials Duty Roulette. Moreover, Level 50/60/70/80 Dungeons and Level 90 Dungeons Duty Roulettes have been combined into Duty Roulette: High-Level Dungeons, and the type and number of Allagan Tomestones received from each Duty Roulette category have been adjusted.

PVP

Here are the most important details regarding PvP:

  • PvP actions for Viper and Pictomancer have been added.
  • New items are available in exchange for Trophy Crystals.
  • New items are available in exchange for Wolf Marks.
  • Series 5 will end and Series 6 will begin.
  • Crystalline Conflict: Season Eleven will end, and a pre-season will begin.

Of course, there will be much more to do and find throughout Dawntrail and future updates, but this will give us plenty to do at the start of the expansion!

      With the new Chaotic Alliance Raids, players have started to speculate about how other bosses will appear in their chaotic forms. One particular boss stands out!
      Chaotic Alliance Raids have finally been announced, and the first one will feature the Cloud of Darkness Boss. This news has players excited about the new battle content, but some are also apprehensive about what future chaotic raids might entail.
      Many players are still haunted by a particular boss from the past. The Ridorana Lighthouse, part of the Return to Ivalice level 70 Alliance Raid from Stormblood, includes a boss that requires players to use math to survive the fight.

      Construct 7 is a boss that continues to challenge groups because the math involved in one of its mechanics is often misunderstood. At a certain point, players must calculate their health value and step into the correct circle to obtain the required value:
      Divide by Four: Stand in a circle so that your current health plus the circle’s value is divisible by four. Divide by Five: Stand in a circle so that your current health plus the circle’s value is divisible by five. Divide by Three: Stand in a circle so that your current health plus the circle’s value is divisible by three. Indivisible: Stand in a circle so that your current health plus the circle’s value is a prime number. While it does not seem complicated, the reality is that you have very little time to figure it out, which can lead to complications. Players have speculated about the math for future chaotic versions of this raid, ranging from basic math, to more complex equations:
      What boss are you expecting the most for the new Alliance Chaotic raids?

      Patch 7.1: Crossroads has been scheduled for November with a brand new story, an alliance raid, and a new form of content: the chaotic alliance raid! Find out more here!
      During Tokyo Game Show 2024, Yoshi-P revealed that Final Fantasy XIV Patch 7.1 will release Mid-November 2024!
      You can re-watch the live letter here, if you missed it:
      While a specific date is not known yet, he has also given a lot of information on the content that will release with this patch. Here is a breakdown of everything you can expect to come with Patch 7.1: Crossroad:
      New Main Scenario Quest: It seems that the story will revolve more around Gulool Ja Ja. New Allied Society Quests: Time to help out The Pelupelu!
      New Custom Deliveries: Nitowikwe will be happy to receive your deliveries. Additional Role Quests. Additional Wachumeqimeqi Quests. Inconceivably Further Hildibrand Adventures. New Game + Support for 7.0. Duty Support:  Support for non-main scenario quest dungeons to be implemented moving forward. Support for Halatali will be added in 7.1. Hall of the Novice Updates: Training for specific battle mechanics will be added. This will unlock at level 49. PvP Updates: Extensive update to PvP action execution and hit detection. PvP job action additions and adjustments. Arena improvements for the Red Sands and Cloud Nine. Balance adjustments for Frontline and Rival Wings. PvP Series 7 begins. New Dungeon: Yuweyawata Field Station:
      New Trial: The Minstrel's Ballad: Sphene's Burden. New Unreal Trial: The Jade Stoa (Unreal). New Ultimate Raid: Futures Rewritten (Ultimate). One of the most awaited additions is the New Alliance Raid Series: Echoes of Vana'Diel! The first phase will be titled Jeuno: The First Walk:

      With the announcement of the Alliance Raid, Yoshi-P also revealed brand-new battle content: The Chaotic Alliance Raid! The first Chaotic Alliance Raid will be The Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic):

      Yoshi-P stated that those raids will be much harder than the normal Alliance Raid. It will be some sort of Savage Raid but with 24 players. You will not have to run through trash to get to the boss like in the normal Alliance raids, you will immediately face the boss. In this case, Cloud of Darkness.
      The fight will require heavy teamwork between all three alliances, and pre-made parties will likely be required to make it through the fight. Yoshi-P has also revealed that a special reward will be granted to players who overcome this fight. The guess would be on armor or mounts. Not much more has been revealed about it for now, but it is very exciting news!
      Finally, the following Miscellaneous updates will also be made to the game:
      Doman Mahjong Update: Voice reactions and commentary from the Scions will be added. Housing Update: Selected interior designs from different residential areas regardless of the location of your plot. New interior designs will be added.

      Raiding can be a stressful experience, especially when you are just starting and have no idea how it works. Here is info on a very useful, new server to help you on your journey!
      Final Fantasy XIV Sprouts can sometimes have a hard time getting into any Savage Raids. Whether it is difficulty in grouping up, stress, expectations, or the pressure of failure, many things can come into play, and some may never find a group to start savage raiding.
      This is why some EU players have created a Discord server dedicated to helping Sprouts with their first time raiding Savage!
      Join the Warriors of Wipe Discord Server and start your official raiding journey!
      The discord offers the following features: 
      Weekend Savage Raids: The specific raid is decided during the week, and each raid group will have a Mentor joining. The Mentor will take the time to explain the raid, call the shots, teach mechanics, answer any questions, and generally ensure everything runs smoothly and everyone is having a good time! Teach the basics of savage raiding and how high-end raids work in FFXIV. No pressure to perform perfectly. "Unofficial" raids during the week between users if they want to, however there is no guarantee a Mentor will be present during these. Sprouts, Mentors, and Helpers can join and participate. Voice is not required, simply encouraged, but listening is enough. Ultimate Raids are not done officially, but members may schedule runs during the week. Raids on EU servers only for the time being. The server is not explicitly a static or a recruiting server, but simply a casual collection of folks you can sign up to raid with! The focus of the Discord is really to remove stress and anxiety from entering raiding, and also less focus on being super optimized, even if good habits are encouraged!
      Members have given us some original feedback, stating that the server has helped them get through Savage, motivated them to aim for more end-game content, gained confidence, and provided a place where they can feel safe even when they mess up during a fight. It offers all the advantages of a static without the constraints of having to commit to a strict raiding schedule. If you are looking for nice, patient, and understanding people to start raiding with, this is the right place!
      Once again, you can join the Warriors of Wipe Discord Server Here!

      To celebrate the legacy of Stephen Critchlow, beloved English voice actor of Edmont de Fortemps, players gathered for a heartwarming Vigil in Final Fantasy XIV!
      In the vast world of Eorzea, the Final Fantasy XIV community stands out not just for its dedication to the game, but for its incredible compassion and unity. Time and again, players come together to hold vigils and gatherings to honor the memories of fellow players, beloved actors, and other significant figures who have passed away. A moment of support and solidarity for fallen Warriors of Light!
      The Voice Actor of Edmont de Fortemps has passed away on September 19th, 2021 from cancer, and once again this year, players gathered in Ishgard in front of the Fortemps Manor to celebrate the legacy he has left behind. 
      On the EU server players aligned in front of the Manor with campfire minions, paying tribute to the late voice actor. Other servers have seen Paladins and Dark Knights standing guard 24/7 in front of the Manor. 
      This event once more shows the bond FFXIV players have with the game, and everyone who is or was involved in it.
