Quest Additions and Adjustments (03/02/2011)
Patch
1.16, set to go live on Thursday, March 3, will introduce several new
sidequests to Eorzea. To go along with this, there are also a number of
changes to make the questing experience smoother, as well as adjustments
to the degrees of difficulty for many local levequests.Sidequests
Sidequests are a new category of quests
that are being added to the game. These will be made available through
various NPCs located in each of the three cities, given that a player
first fulfills certain class/rank prerequisites. The content of these
endeavors vary greatly from one another, and we will continue to add
further sidequests in future patches.
NPCs offering sidequests are easily distinguishable by the presence of
an exclamation point (!) icon above their heads. The same icon is also
displayed at sidequest NPC locations on the map and minimap. In the
future, we plan to extend this feature to other quest NPCs, such as
those offering class quests.
* The term "sidequests" is the new official designation for what were previously referred to as "miniquests" in several Letter from the Producer posts.
** Only sidequest NPCs within a certain distance of the player will have the ! icon displayed over their head.
Local Levequests
The objectives of certain local levequests
are currently somewhat difficult to complete due to disparities between
the synthesis rank of their requested items and the approximate rank
needed to reach the associated aetheryte. To address this, patch 1.16
will contain adjustments to the recommended ranks, degrees of
difficulty, and item types and amounts requested of these levequests.
* Levequests undertaken prior to version 1.16 will automatically be adjusted upon server restart following the patch.
