No surprises, except for the low NPC sale value of sortie items.

Probably SE checked how many stones were in player inventory, and calculated an estimate how much gil would be introduced in market if all would sell.

Then considered 4k+ would be too much for a single stone, so it cut down to 1k

How the hell did npc sapphires and starstones for 1-1.5k gil make the version update headline? That has to be a new low in ffxi history... Next update - monthly updates to ambu and apple juice now npcs for 76 gil instead of 75 gil. Look forward to it

The issue wherein some items could not be obtained from treasure chests during Sortie under certain conditions.
Was there any discussion of what this was? I doubt it's anything amazing, but it's just vague enough to cause curiosity.

Sometimes the temporary key items failed to load, is the only thing I ever really saw.

Box spawned, gave the galli but the ki was mia

I remember some people complaining that if you opened two chests at the same time, you would only get the reward out of one of them. Maybe it was that?

There was also an issue where chests that spawned could not be targeted/opened. You'd have to run out of draw distance and back to be able to open them.

This seems familiar to me. Didn't Abyssea have a similar issue at one point?

You could kill an enemy on a boundary to a map change and rarely get a floating chest (sometimes returns to the ground in time), or spawn two chests at once (usually the Aurum involved), and neither could be targeted for a while. These are just two examples I have come across, though.

We encountered the bug on our runs a couple times over the past year. You'd clear objectives in A B C or D to get the chest to spawn to fight the boss, but never got the key item when you opened it. That locked you out of two NMs that run, which also meant you couldn't fight Aminon either. It was a very rare occurance, but any time it happened it completely screwed over the run.
