With this Patch 5.57 Square Enix introduced new changes in Final Fantasy XIV. These go as far as changing drop rates or make your relic farm way faster.
Changes made to the Eden’s Promise Raids
New changes came with Patch 5.57 for the Savage version of the Eden’s Promise Raids:
- From now on, defeating one of the four raids will always spawn two chests instead of one, meaning that twice as much loot will be available every time.
- Players will no be able to get as many pieces of loot they want from the same boss as the weekly limit on loots has been removed.
- There is no entrance restriction for these raids anymore.
- You will now be able to directly access the bosses area.
- The Echo will now apply in the Eden’s Promise. This represent a 10% augmentation in HP, Damage and Healing every time you start the fight. This Echo will not level-up when the party dies though and will stay to 10%.
Bozjan Southern Front Adjustments:
- The number of Timeworn Artifacts dropped from clearing the Delubrum Reginae increased from one to three.
- The Skirmishes called “Brought to Heal” and “No Camping Allowed” will possibly drop the Field Notes on Dyunbu.
- The already existing Treasure Chest spawned after freeing the hostage and defeating the corresponding boss in the Castrum Lacus Litore will drop more Forgotten Fragments.
- The Battle of Castrum Lacus Litore will now award more Mettle Point after clearing the Critical Engagement.
- The following Forgotten Fragment can be exchanged from the Resistance quartermaster with a cost reduced from three to one:
• Forgotten Fragment of Clarity
