Twelve Important Details in the FFXIV Endwalker Patch 6.0 Patch Notes
It is happening! We are entering December, and there is a new holiday. Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker will be available for early access starting December 3. All the rest can join us on the December 7 journey as we attempt to save our star and end the HydaelynZodiark storyline.
Square Enix published last night the complete patch notes for Patch 6.0. It’s an extensive list of changes, as with any expansion patch. Many of these have been covered in previous Live Letters by the Producer. There are some essential details you may have missed, however. Here are some details that you might want to highlight.
What are the Reaper’s and Sage’s Starting Unlock Locations
Certain players will prepare for expansion launches by parking themselves to find new jobs. We now know where you can take up the Soul Stones of the Sage or Reaper.
You can become a Reaper by starting the quest “The killer instinct” at the Flustered Attendant in Ul’dah-Steps of Naled (X.12.8, Y.8.6).
You can take Sage‘s Role, but you’ll need to begin the “Sage’s Path ” quest with the Sharlayan Maiden in Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (X.9.4, Y.12.9).
Reaper, Sage, and the Hall of the Novice will not have any duties. However, Square Enix has provided gear for both duties and merchants. Each job starts at level 70, and both will receive new weapons for Deep Dungeon content. You will need to level them up until they are 80 to use them for Endwalker.
What kind of Tombstone Rewards are available for Duty Roulettes?
The new tombstones Endwalker were previously revealed Allagan Tomestones Of Aphorism. As your secondary reward for roulettes, you will still receive Tomestones in Poetics. Allegory and Revelation are also available. Patch 6.0 will remove all of these tombstones. You can trade in any great Allegory or Revelation tombstones for Poetics.
Another slight shift is the addition of Duty Roulette: Level 50/60/70 and Duty Roulette Level 80 Dungeons to the new Duty Roulette: level 50/60/70/80. This is the new duty roulette category and reward list:
DUTY ROULETTE | ALLAGAN TOMESTONES |
---|---|
Expert: Duty Roulette | 80 Allagan tomestones with the aphorism |
Duty Roulette: Level 50/60/70/80 Dungeons | 100 Allagan tomestones for poetics 120 Allagan tomestones containing aphorism |
Duty Roulette: Leveling | 100 Allagan tomestones containing aphorism |
Trials of Duty Roulette | 60 Allagan tomestones containing aphorism |
Duty Roulette: Main Scenario | 300 Allagan tomestones for poetics 100 Allagan tomestones containing aphorism |
Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids | 120 Allagan tomestones for poetics 120 Allagan tomestones containing aphorism |
Regular Raids: Duty Roulette | 80 Allagan tomestones for poetics 60 Allagan tomestones containing aphorism |
Mentor: Duty Roulette | 30 Allagan tomestones containing aphorism |
Frontline: Duty Roulette | 50 Allagan tomestones containing aphorism |

The Belts are Gone
Belts have been removed, as announced previously. Because they didn’t have visual components, Square Enix decided removing belts would be the best way to free up inventory space. They won’t allow you to craft, buy, trade, or get them through quests and other duties.
The belt’s new text states that belts were once used to hold trousers—most likely elastic waists from Old Sharlayan.
You can get old belts from Calamity Salvager to remove any affixed material. Players can also exchange the Speed Belt from Eureka Pagos for the Speed Ring. The number of Ring slots in Armoury Chest now has 50.
Role quests will feature classic supporting characters
The Job Quests in Endwalker are not returning, as we have stated before. Square Enix will continue to use the Role Quests structure from Shadowbringers with a new questline for Tank DPS, Ranged DPS, and Melee DPS.
Ranged DPS will now split into Physical Ranged DPS (Magical Ranged DPS) and Magical Ranged DPS. This gives players five possible role questlines. The second change is that while the Shadowbringers role missions featured new characters, and the Endwalker roles quests will feature classic supporting characters. Unnamed “Gridanian delegate” is listed in the patch notes for the Tank quest, while “Doman delegate” is for Physical Ranged DPS. The pictures depict Kan-E-Senna and Prince Hien.
Other quests list unnamed delegates for Limsa Lominsa and Ishgard. I believe these delegates are Chief Admiral Merlwyb and Ser Aymeric, the leaders of these cities. These delegates will likely be opposites of the Job role with Kan-E-Senna supporting Tank players.
Gatherers and crafters deliver to the Studium.
As I predicted in our Endwalker preview, the Studium in Old Sharlayan would be the new center for Disciples of the Land and Hand. Here, crafters and gatherers will embark on a new delivery quest. Like the role quests, these questlines will be divided into five groups.
- Faculty of Archaeology ( Blacksmith/ Armorer/ Goldsmith).
- Faculty of Astronomy ( Carpenter/ Leatherworker/ Weaver).
- Faculty of Medicine ( Chemistry/ Culinarian).
- Faculty of Anthropology ( Miner/ Botanist).
- Faculty of Aetherology ( Fischer).
A final questline will be available after the completion of these five questlines.
Players will be rewarded with the new Purple Scrips for completing quests. Red Scrips will be removed entirely, but Yellow Scrips may be traded for white Scrips. Players must have completed the Level 50 quest “Inscrutable tastes” to unlock these Collectibles features.
