  * The inferno totem will appear only for players who possess the inferno lamp key item.
  
  Once you have obtained a sufficient amount of inferno totems, you may exchange them for an Ifrit Weapon of your choice by speaking to the NPC Rowena, in the Ul’dah Merchant Strip (5,4).

Battle

• [dev1206] Class reforms have commenced, ushering in the following changes:
  * To review the impetus behind the reforms and peruse the comprehensive list of changes to actions, please refer to [dev1206] Class Reforms and [dev1206] Class Reforms & Action Lists.
  
  ≪Revision of Class-specific Actions≫
  Actions learnable by each class have undergone comprehensive review and revision. Previously, only executable actions such as abilities, spells, and weaponskills could be learned by gaining in level. This has been revised to include traits.
  
  Based on the above change, the system wherein traits are obtained in exchange for guild marks has been abolished. The selfsame NPCs from whom you purchased your traits will reimburse you for the guild marks you spent.
  
  Discussion is ongoing whether to devise alternate uses for guild marks or do away with them completely. In the case of the latter, we will provide players with a means to exchange their marks for gil, company seals, and items. In the meantime, guild marks will not be issued as rewards for guildleves, quests, and so forth. Details will be announced pending finalization.
  
  Upper tiers of an action (such as Fire II and Fire III) have been abolished in favor of a system wherein potency and MP cost are scaled based on the player’s level.
  
  ≪Abolition of the Shield Skill≫
  The shield skill has been abolished and reborn as actions and traits learnable by gladiators. As such, all gains associated with the shield skill (levels and EXP) have been rendered invalid.
  
  ≪Setting Actions and Traits≫
  The following reforms have been made to the conditions for setting actions and traits:
  • Upon learning an action for your current class, that action will automatically be set to the action bar and cannot be voluntarily removed. It is possible, however, to move the action to another slot.
    * All placement data for actions will be reset the first time you log in following the release of patch 1.20. Actions for a particular class will be set automatically upon switching to that class.
    
  • Action cost has been abolished. Instead, a cap will be imposed upon the number of actions from other classes that can be set. The cap is determined by the level of your current class.
    
  • Players are no longer bound by level restrictions when setting actions from other classes. For instance, a level 1 pugilist will be able to set a level 30 gladiator action. However, the effectiveness of that action will be scaled down accordingly.
    
  • All traits have been made class-exclusive. Adjustments have been made so that certain actions will only unleash their full potential when paired with traits belonging to the same class.
  The levels at which actions and traits are learned, along with the cap for setting actions from other classes, are as follows:
  
  

  Level	Actions	Traits	Actions permitted from other classes
  1	1st		1
  2	2nd
  3
  4	3rd

  ≪Individual Combos≫
  A system has been implemented wherein the majority of weaponskills and spells receive a bonus if certain conditions are met. Conditions fall into the categories listed below, the third of which pertains to combos.
  1. Position: Striking the enemy from the direction specified, e.g., the flank.
  2. Status: Avoiding or incurring enmity from the enemy in question and so forth.
  3. Sequence: Landing the specified weaponskill or spell on the enemy immediately beforehand.
  Not only will a successful combo grant you the bonus indicated; TP cost will also be waived for the weaponskill used to execute it. For a combo to be valid, however, the weaponskill in question must be used with the class or job to which it belongs.
  
  Examples of weaponskills and their bonus conditions:
  
  

  WS1 Weaponskill 1	Deal physical damage to a single target. Damage increases by 20% when executed from the front.
  WS2 Weaponskill 2	Deal physical damage to a single target, increasing enmity. Combo Action: Weaponskill 1 Combo Bonus: Enmity+50%
  WS3 Weaponskill 3	Deal physical damage to a single target. Combo Action: Weaponskill 1 Combo Bonus: Damage+20%
  WS4 Weaponskill 4	Deal physical damage to a single target. Inflicts gradual HP reduction when executed from behind. Combo Action: Weaponskill 3 Combo Bonus: HP reduction +25%

  Individually executed, the above weaponskills will deal out only what is indicated in the first line of their descriptions. The bonuses granted by weaponskills 1 and 4 (Damage+20% and Gradually reduces HP, respectively) are dependent on positioning.
  
  Weaponskills 2 through 4 each offer a combo bonus. For instance, performing 2 immediately after landing 1 will grant you Enmity+50%. Furthermore, the TP cost for performing 2 will be waived. In the case of the above weaponskills, the following two combinations can be identified: 1) 1 → 2
  2) 1 → 3 → 4 Please note that all bonus conditions must be fulfilled for a weaponskill to be considered valid in a combo. For this reason, 3 → 4 alone do not form a combo, as 1 is a requirement for 3.
  
  
  
  
  ≪List of Actions and Traits≫
  Peruse the details.
  
  * While there exist certain actions whose names are unchanged due to changes to internal data, macros created prior to patch 1.19 that utilized the Auto-translation Dictionary to input action names will no longer function. Players will need to delete and reregister these macros. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
  
  * No changes have been made to actions used by enemies. As such, discrepancies in effect may exist between the actions used by players and enemies, even if they share the same name.
  
  
• [dev1228] Attribute points have been reintroduced with overhauled mechanics.
  
  Disciples of War & Magic will be able to allot points starting from level 10, at which time they will receive five attribute points to spend. Each subsequent gain in level will earn you one additional point. Attribute points can be allotted to your character’s basic parameters, namely Strength, Vitality, Dexterity, Intelligence, Mind, and Piety. Points are spent at a one-to-one ratio, and their issuance and allotment are handled by class.
  * Disciples of the Hand & Land are not awarded attribute points.
  
  
  
  
  Please note that a level-determined cap is imposed upon the number of points you can allot to each parameter.
  
  

  Level	Allotment Cap

Items

• [dev1206] As part of the aforementioned class reforms, actions and abilities for Disciples of the Hand & Land are now learned as you gain in level.
  
  Based on the above change, guild marks can no longer be used to purchase actions and abilities. The selfsame NPCs from whom you made your purchase will reimburse you for the guild marks you spent.
  
  Discussion is ongoing whether to devise alternate uses for guild marks or do away with them completely. In the case of the latter, we will provide players with a means to exchange their marks for gil, company seals, and items. In the meantime, guild marks will not be issued as rewards for guildleves, quests, and so forth. Details will be announced pending finalization.
  
  The levels at which actions and abilities are learned are as follows:
  
  Peruse the details.
  
  In accordance with the above changes, the following actions have been abolished:Cloudkin Eluder / Soulkin Eluder / Spoken Eluder / Voidsent Eluder / Scalekin Eluder / Ashkin Eluder / Forgekin Eluder / Vilekin Eluder / Beastkin Eluder / Seedkin Eluder / Wavekin Eluder

  * Dyes have been consolidated into NQ items.
  
  Based on the balance adjustments made in conformance with class reforms, the attributes of HQ gear will be unified as follows:
  
  • Arms: Damage made equivalent to +2.
  • Armor: Defense made equivalent to +2.
  • Shields: Block Rate made equivalent to +1. Item quality now affects Block.
  • Crafting Tools: Craftsmanship made equivalent to +1. Item quality now affects Magic Craftsmanship and Control.
  • Gathering Tools: Gathering made equivalent to +1. Item quality now affects Output and Perception.
  • When used as synthesis material, will be treated as equivalent to +3.
  • HQ+3 items dropped by enemies have been changed to +1.
  • HQ+3 items obtained through gathering have been changed to +1.
  Bonus attributes that will activate only for certain HQ items are being planned for patch 1.21 and beyond.
  
  
• [dev1207] Changes have been made to the way gear is dyed. Players can now change the color of an item without affecting its attributes. New recipes have also been implemented that allow you to voluntarily add attributes to items independent of color.
