Final Fantasy XIV Publishes Patch 4.18 Notes

After the introduction of Final Fantasy XIV's new PvP mode, Rival Wings, in Patch 4.15, FFXIV has launched a minor "Balancing" patch, Patch 4.18. This patch includes changes to Deltascape, bug fixes, and PvP changes.

• Deltascape Crystalloids, formally a weekly reward, are now given once per run, rather than once per week.
  • They are used to acquire i330 weapons. The amount needed has been nerfed, from 7 crystalloids, to 4.
• Deltascape Savage is now unlocked.
  • Two treasure coffers will always appear
  • Weekly restrictions on rewards has been removed
  • Weekly entrance restriction has been removed
  • Players may do any floor of Deltascape at will
• Players can purchase Lost Allagan Roborant now, in exchange for Rabanastran coins. Roborants upgrade your weapon, from i330, to i340.
• Rival Wings has been adjusted
  • More ceruleum tanks will spawn on the map
  • Mammets move faster
  • The cannons in Rival Wings have been nerfed
    • Damage to players and warmachina reduced from 6,000 to 4,000
    • Potency against Objects and Mammets is now 400, down from 600
    • Range of the cannons is now 60 yalms, down from 75.
• Bug fixes
  • Machinist's PvP "Flamethrower" ignored elevation
  • Paladins using cover on a target with Damage over time effects would cause attacking Summoners to not gain Aethertrail Attunement if they used Fester on the covered target
  • The clock face of the fate chocobo table clock was displayed incorrectly
  • Ceruleum tanks would sometimes spawn in places they couldn't, in Rival Wings
  • The Shadow Fang combo potency for Ninjas in PvP was incorrect. It has been updated to the correct value. This is not a buff nor a nerf to Ninja.
