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?

The Dev team has given us a peek into the final battle of the Dragonsong War at The Final Steps of Faith.

“The great steps which marked a journey’s beginning shall now mark its end as the Warrior of Light enters into a final confrntation with the great wyrm Nidhogg. Steel will clash against fang and furious flames. But when the dust settles, only the victor will decide the fate of man, dragon, and the broken bonds that once united them.”

The Main Story version of this trial will require a full party of 8 people ilvl 205 or greater. The Extreme version of the fight, The Minstrel’s Ballad: Nidhogg’s Rage, will require ilvl 220 to enter, and will also drop weapons for players. Check out the full preview at the Lodestone.

Today’s preview from the Development team centers around the new 24-man Raid, The Weeping City of Mhach.

“Deep in the Yafaem Saltmoor lies the ruins of the fabled city of Mhach – a civilization of the Fifth Astral Era whose prosperity was built upon unparalleled magicks of destruction. It is to this ancient edifice, and its vaults of occult secrets, that you and the Redbills plan your next foray.”

The required iLvl to enter is i205, and players must first complete the quest “To Rule the Skies” to enter. Full details are available at the Lodestone.
