With each color offering unique beneficial effects for its wearer, there is bound to be something for every chocobo fan! Quest: Inside the Belly Players will be able to turn in more varieties of fish to the quest-starter NPC. Rumor has it these fishes have a penchant for swallowing up new equipment whole...? Past Vana'diel - Xarcabard [S] Monster distribution will be adjusted to allow adventurers to safely arrive at their destination when using the teleportation service requiring Allied Notes. - Eldieme Necropolis [S] A number of gates within the necropolis will be adjusted to remain open at all times to allow players to find their way to union treasure chests at the end of a Campaign Battle.
