From the Lodestone, as well as a Tweet on Matt Hilton‘s Twitter feed, Patch 3.35 which includes the highly anticipated Palace of the Dead is scheduled for a July 19th release. In case you’ve been living under a rock, the Palace of the Dead is the new Rogue-like dungeon which will pit a party of up to 4 adventurers in a random series of floors littered with treasure, traps, and monsters galore. What will we find at the bottom? Only Yoshi-P knows! Make sure to clear your calendar, take the day off, or if all else fails, call in sick.* 😀

*Phoenix Down Radio does not ACTUALLY endorse calling in sick, but hey, who are we to tell you what to do? 😀

Now that we’re in maintenace mode, the full patch notes are available for your perusal. There is a lot of information to go through, and a lot of welcome changes and additions. Among the new tidbits of info released, we are getting 30 new Orchestrion rolls, a number of new minions are being added, and the Nidhogg EX weapons are confirmed i235. However the NA patch notes do not say anything about the item level of the new Relic step. However, a user on r/ffxiv noticed that the French patch notes indicated that they may indeed be i24o.

What are you most looking forward to when the servers go live tomorrow?

SE published the preliminary patch notes for upcoming patch 3.3, Revenge of the Horde. As normal, certain elements deemed spoilerish, such as quest names, have been omitted, and a few specific details have been held back for the official release of the patch. Of note, they lay out a few job ability changes and Bard has received a good amount of love for this patch, with minor additional changes to NIN, SMN, AST, and DRK. Go check out the full listing at the Lodestone.

The new trailer for the Revenge of the Horde patch is live! Check out the new dungeons, trials, quests, and gear coming on June 7th. I am personally excited for much of the content coming, and this preview adds to that excitement. What do you think about the upcoming patch?
