November 11 Final Fantasy 14 released Patch 7.38 on all supported platforms, which brought some bug fixes and removed loot restrictions for Arcadion AAC Cruiserweight Tier (Savage) raids. Final Fantasy 14 players can also pick up a new poster for their virtual homes with key artwork Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chroniclesin patch 7.38.
The 7.38 content update comes in the middle of a rough time Final Fantasy 14. From November 3rd Final Fantasy 14 became the target of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on its servers in North America, as players in the Aether, Primal, Crystal, and Dynamis data centers experienced disconnections from the game without warning. Although the outages were brief, Final Fantasy 14 players reported lost progress in Pilgrim's Traverse deep dungeon and similar activities due to the frequency of DDoS attacks. Other servers in Europe, Japan and Oceania have not yet been affected by these DDoS attacks.
Despite ongoing DDoS attacks on North American data centers, Final Fantasy 14 released a small content patch for players to download. Final Fantasy 14Update 7.38 removed the weekly loot limit from the AAC Cruiserweight Tier (Savage) raid series, allowing raid teams to farm as much gear and items from the current Arcadion raid tier as they want. Players can also skip the AAC Cruiserweight Tier without having to clear each fight in order. This includes players jumping a level to face Howling Blade, the AAC Cruiserweight Champion. Additionally, players looking to upgrade the Historia weapon will have a new way to do so, as one Ordelle Coin and one Montiont Coin can now be exchanged together for an Evercharged Ester.
Ordelle and Montiont coins can be obtained by clearing the Echoes of Vana'diel alliance raids, making the Evercharged Ester item available to players who are not participating in the Savage raid content. Additionally, there is a new housing item available for players to collect in patch 7.38, as the Legends of Ivalice poster can now drop from loot chests during Return to Ivalice alliance raids. The poster features key art from Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicleswhich was largely developed by Creative Studio 3.
Some bugs that affected features like Pilgrim's Traverse and Cosmic Exploration were fixed in the November 11 update. Final Fantasy 14Content patch 7.38 will be the only update released in November as Square Enix focuses its attention on the release of patch 7.4 Into the Mist on December 16th.
