Dreams of Ice
Can you already feel the cold wind the and snowflakes touching your cheek? That’s not surprising, since the Final Fantasy XIV: Dreams of Ice Patch 2.4 is out now! The new free update sure won’t leave the players cold since it includes a multitude of refinements and additions such as new dungeons, trials, gear, a job and more. There will be some changes to the currency policies and rewards, as the new Allagan tomestones of poetics become available. And what would the new boss fights or the dungeons be without new music? Prepare for eargasms!
It’s Time To Level Up And Get A New Style!
The item level will be rising to 135 and the new gear will be available for purchase or as rewards from raids. You can also get a new hairstyle from the aesthetician. Gil rewards have been added to the chest in Syrcus Tower and the weekly limitation on items has been abolished. With the normal dungeons and the trials, the players can now receive rewards as many times as desired. These new changes will ease your pain to get the item level higher than before. The drop rate for Atma crystals, Mirror of the Whorl and the Extreme primal battle rewards have been increased as well!
Bye Bye Mythologies! – Let’s Welcome Poetics!
“Allanga Tomestones of Mythology” will be replaced by “Allagan Tomestones of Soldiery”. The weekly limitation on Allagan Tomestones of Soldiery has been removed. If you are currently carrying the Mythologies, they can be exchanged to the Allanga Tomestones of Soldiery at 1/4 the previous cost from Auriana and G’jusana in Revenant’s Toll. The patch also introduced the players with new currency, Allagan tomestones of poetics. Only 450Allagan tomestones of poetics can be obtained per week, up to a maximum of 2,000 tomestones.
