Patch 2.38 Notes (09/16/2014)
From the implementation of individual estates and land along with added residential districts to the continuation of the Zodiac Weapon quest line, an item level boost for Extreme Ramuh rewards, and much more, patch 2.38 is sure to offer something for all adventurers. A host of user interface refinements also promise to make exploring Eorzea more intuitive than ever.
Playable Content
Quests
New side story quests have been added.
- Saga of the Zodiac Weapons
Once your relic weapon novus has been soulglazed by Jalzahn, complete certain activities with the weapon equipped to increase its soul attunement level. By presenting a fully attuned weapon to Jalzahn, you will be rewarded with a relic weapon nexus of item level 115 that retains all the upgrades made to the original relic weapon novus.
A weapon’s soul attunement level will rise by a set amount determined by the activity being performed. This amount, however, may increase each time a certain period of time passes. Thus sharing information with other players will be invaluable in planning the most efficient method of attunement.
Attunement progress can be verified through the use of the Zodiac glass.
One you have completed the quest “Mmmmmm, Soulglazed Relics,” you will be able to alter the materia-enhanced properties of your relic weapon novus or relic weapon nexus. Prepare a new sphere scroll of the correct type to receive the power of your chosen relic weapon, then use materia and alexandrite to redo the infusion process.
* The materia-enhanced properties of a relic weapon nexus will be transferred to a sphere scroll after being adjusted to item level 110 values.

* Due to system limitations, this feature will only be available on the Windows® version of the game.
About Visual Alerts
The option to enable a visual representation of sound waves has been implemented for the benefit of our hard-of-hearing players. With this feature enabled, players will see a visual representation of the various sounds emitted within in the game. We hope that this will prove useful, as well as convey the sense that the world of Eorzea is alive with sound.
Details
Sounds are visualized as waveforms, with three categories of sounds (see below) each represented by a different color. These visualizations are connected to the game’s volume settings, so the size of the visualizations may be adjusted by adjusting your volume settings.
Please note that this feature does not yet support movie sequences such as the game’s opening. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Blue: Background music
Red: System alerts
Green: Sound effects, ambient sounds, voices

Resolved Issues
The following issues have been addressed:
An issue wherein the aggro range for certain monsters was erroneously low.

An issue wherein the initial cursor position for the Glamour interface while in gamepad mode was incorrect.
An issue wherein players were able to select unrelated items for delivery in certain quests.
An issue wherein cross hotbar commands would spill over the edge of the screen on lower resolution settings.
An issue wherein messages from blacklisted players would be displayed in the log window while in certain dungeons.
An issue where the running speeds of mounts were not consistent.
