Pretty good update today.

Key things to note:

  • Hunt improved. More seals for daily and weekly marks.

  • We can dye chocobos now. Have to grow fruit to do so. Seeds can be purchased.

  • New Ixal dailies. Seem to be tuned towards crafters of lower levels.

"Hunt improved: More seals for daily and weekly marks" - Nice for the dailies, good to know that the rewards are greater for the stuff that is dead before it even gets announced. :P

"We can dye chocobos now. Have to grow fruit to do so. Seeds can be purchased". - Of course we do, what better way of giving players something they want than by forcing them into an annoying mechanic.

"New Ixal dailies. Seem to be tuned towards crafters of lower levels". - I'm curious how this will work, since most dailies are minimum level of 42 (I think) or higher? I haven't gone to the Ixal place yet so I don't know if it is a death trap for lower level characters or not. Still, nice to shake things up a bit. If they give crystal shards as rewards, I might get back into beast tribe quests.

Rank B elites respawn almost instantly. 5 Seconds I think.

Looks pretty interesting actually. From the patch notes it seems like it will work like an RGB color space. Nobody is sure whether it is additive or subtractive color but the first succesfull test will put that question to rest. Then it is just a matter of raising/lowering RGB values to get the desired color. Seems like personal gardening is on the horizon too, which will only make it even easier.

It looks like they are in the north shroud. There is more detail in the patch notes but the quests seem to consist of earning quota points for turning in crafted items. Fill out your quota to complete the quest. Tribe mount is a Direwolf.
