Final Fantasy XIV Patch 4.01 Notes Released
You may have noticed that Final Fantasy XIV was down for a handful of hours earlier this morning, and that’s because Square Enix were busy implementing the latest patch for the outstanding MMO. Square Enix have now released the patch notes for patch 4.01, and they’re a doozy!
Split between A Realm Reborn, Heavensward and Stormblood, some of the patch notes will affect you and some won’t. Anyway, let’s start off with the new additions to Stormblood, which are the most notable inclusions in today’s patch.
The biggest addition is the new eight-man raid dungeon, Omega: Deltascape, which is now available to all Stormblood users. To participate you need to be a level 70 Disciple of War or Magic, and must have completed the quest “The Hunt for Omega”. Then you can team up with seven buddies and tackle one of the game’s most ambitious dungeons yet!
New Chronicles of a New Era quests have been added to Stormblood too, which include the “The Hunt for Omega” mission mentioned before.
Before tackling these though, you might want to have a look at how some classes have changed. For the most part, it’s going to be a lot easier grabbing the attention of enemies as tanks, which is nice. Considering that’s your job. Please don’t let me die in the dungeon, tank-chan. 🙁
Gladiator/Paladin now have increased enmity across the skills Savage Blade and Flash.
Marauder/Warrior now have enmity across the skills Skull Sunder and Overpower, whilst Heavy Swing now costs 60 TP as opposed to 70 TP.
Dark Knight has increased enmity across the skills Spinning Slash and Unleash, whilst the potency of Bloodspiller has been increased from 380 to 400, and the dark arts potency increased from 520 to 540.
Ninja has increased potency when using the skill Bhavacakra, moving to 600 from 550.
Bard’s Troubadour skill now effects both themselves and nearby party members.
New music, items, minions and mounts have been added too! Chances are you already have a slew of minions and mounts to play with, but you can always do with more, right?
There are a bunch of miscellaneous notes concerning gameplay, fixes, PS4 UI changes, and you can read the full list here. The patch is now live, so join your Free Company and tackle these new quests and dungeons! Or tackle them alone, Sword Art Online’s Kirito style, if you’d prefer.
