• [dev1290] Unmarked keystones, for use on the “A Feast of Fools” quest, now drop from the following enemies:
  

  Anole / Scout Vulture / Black Wolf / Gigantoad / Spindiggle / Queen Gougou / Capricious Cassie / Buata / Great Oak / Spiteful

  After progressing to just before the Good King Moggle Mog XII battle, players can acquire any keystones they are missing by trading unmarked keystones to the NPC Pukwa Pika in the West Shroud (17,41). Each missing keystone (bloom, bud, bough, leaf, and trunk) will require two unmarked keystones.

  Exchanges can only be made for all missing keystones. Individual keystones cannot obtained separately in this manner.

  Ex.)
  A player with a Keystone of the Bloom, but who is missing the other four keystones would be required to trade eight unmarked keystones at once.

  * Keystones can only be exchanged by players who have completed the quest “A Feast of Fools.”

After a long wait, patch notes for Patch 1.20 have been released, and the amount of content this patch rivals that of patch 1.19. By content, we mean the sheer volume of information. In terms of brand new content, we can only expect the new Moogle Primal battle, Good King Moggle Mog XII. Besides that, there have been a number of tweaks to older content, including a mmethod to receive the Ifrit weapon of your choice, and various adjustments to Behest and Caravan Security Missions. You can also expect a number of new Grand Company leves and quests to be added. Still the biggest change is the Class Reform. The action and trait lists have been finalized and readily accessible to all players. You can choose whatever section floats your boat below, and see for yourself.
