Patch 2.21 Notes (04/09/2014)

---

Patch 2.21 will introduce the first phase of the Echo to the Binding Coil of Bahamut, as well as address several known issues.

Event

The Binding Coil of Bahamut has been adjusted as follows:
Players can now queue for the Binding Coil of Bahamut solo via the Duty Finder.
Damage reflected by clockwork knights in Turn 4 has been reduced.
Players will now receive the power of the Echo.
The Echo will take effect upon entering the Binding Coil of Bahamut, increasing players' maximum HP, damage dealt, and healing potency by 10%.
* Unlike other instances, the strength of the Echo will not increase in the event all party members are incapacitated.
* The Echo will not be applied in Turn 3.
* The strength of the Echo is scheduled to be increased two weeks after the release of patch 2.21.

Countermeasures to prevent exploits in the Second Coil of Bahamut have been implemented.
* Please be advised that we will be strengthening measures to monitor and counteract illicit activity. Any player found to be in violation of the Terms of Service will be subject to the confiscation of illegitimately obtained items, as well as the temporary suspension or banning of their account.

To reduce system load caused by character rendering in the North Shroud, several NPCs have been removed from Fallgourd Float.
