FFXIV 6.08 Features

Patch 6.08 is bringing a lot of class adjustments to the game on top of the new Oceanian Data Center. What should players expect from the recent update?

Patch 6.08 brings several things to the table, as many classes are getting some balance adjustments. The highlight is introducing a new Oceania server that can host  FFXIV accounts from that region. Players can check out all the recent changes in Final Fantasy XIV since the update has already gone live.

• Ravan
• sephirot
• Sophia
• Zurvan

Character Creation Bonuses are available to players who made new personas in this region. These rewards include Double EXP until level 80 and 10 silver chocobo feathers. Using a Home World Transfer to this, any server tagged as a "New World" will reward gamers with the double bonus EXP.

Relevant Fixed Bugs

• The bug where the Stigma Dreamscape's Proto-Omega's Guided Missile and Chemical Missile did not correctly target players was fixed.
• The issue where White Mages' Thin Air would not cast immediately has been corrected.

• The glitch where fish were not counted as caught even though the capture animation appeared during spearfishing has been fixed.
• The bug where the Dance Pole can be sold to NPC vendors has been removed.

The patch already went live last January 25, 2022, so players can now check out the various changes when they log in. Though there aren't any new significant features for farming FFXIV Gil, the class balancing is a huge adjustment that will aid affected jobs to become more efficient. There are no announcements about when Patch 6.09 will go live, so players should wait for further information.
