Titan Development Log

Published the approved client DAT update for Chariot Band, Empress Band, Emperor Band and Anniversary Ring help text. The launcher patch manifest now distributes FINAL FANTASY XI/ROM/118/109.DAT with the era-correct bonus, duration and maximum bonus values.

The release was prepared from the local authoritative SquareEnix client baseline as an incremental client patch. Private player data and runtime logs remained excluded from the managed client manifest.

Conquest guard stock data now uses era values for Scroll of Instant Reraise and Scroll of Instant Warp: 500 conquest points and 750 conquest points respectively. The Phoenix era override already enforces the same values, so the base conquest table and override now agree.

No game service restart was performed; the change is file-published for script reload/next map restart. Client DAT menu text remains a separate follow-up.

Activated the corrected ToAU-era travel-anchor physical Trust network. The live world now includes the global 122-Trust daily pool across manual placements, Valor books, EXP camps, Survival Guides, Home Points and Telepoints, with same-zone duplicate and conflict-family prevention.

The travel-anchor pass uses 40 eligible Home Points, 67 eligible Survival Guides and six eligible Telepoints. It safely placed 673 travel-anchor slots after reducing Fei'Yin Home Point #1 to one safe slot and avoiding the Qubia Arena zone-line area.

Shared source NPCs now become globally vacant when recruited and return through a five-minute slot respawn that chooses a different valid Trust where possible without increasing the configured visible slot count. Battlefield Trusts remain instance-local and are not affected by the world respawn cycle.

The failed original travel package was left inactive and marked do-not-use. The corrected r2 activation is live: xi_map, xi_connect, xi_world and xi_search are active.

The server login configuration has the per-IP session limit disabled with login.LOGIN_LIMIT set to 0, allowing legitimate households to connect from the same internet connection.

Updated the website wording so household players no longer need to request an IP exception before playing together. The no-dual-boxing rule remains: each person must use their own account and independently control their own character.

Launcher 1.5.18 removes the hover popup from character cards. Character jobs, crafts and mission progress remain visible directly inside the card tabs, so hovering over a portrait no longer covers the launcher UI with redundant text.

Character cards no longer create hover ToolTips. Login, game launch, client patching and server gameplay behavior are unchanged.

Updated the website footer to credit Mitsuhiro Arita (有田満弘) for the FFXI 18th Anniversary Wallpaper Artwork used as Titan's background art.

The footer now keeps the legal notice and artwork attribution in a stacked text block beside the mascot so the credit remains readable without changing launcher, gameplay, or client patch behavior.

Replaced the main Titan logo with the new transparent gold artwork on the website and launcher Play page. Both preserve its original proportions, with a larger website presentation and additional launcher header space so the artwork remains clear above the character cards.

Launcher 1.5.17 embeds the new logo so existing installations receive it through the normal launcher update. Login, character selection and gameplay behavior are unchanged.

Activated the complete battlefield physical Trust network: encounter-local NPC placement, battle-specific dialogue and recruitment across 199 eligible encounters. The roster contains 204 Trust definitions and 816 distinct dialogue lines, each within the 140-byte limit. Twenty-five one-participant encounters retain their solo capacity and do not admit Trusts.

Recruitment enforces party and encounter capacity, character conflicts, stale-menu protection and combat lockout. Per-run state and cleanup prevent repeated mid-fight refills. NPC positions are checked against entry geometry at runtime; unsafe positions are rejected rather than forced.

The initial activation exposed an optional-field compatibility bug and automatically rolled back. The retry is live.

The two-client pilot was explicitly waived, not passed. In-game presentation and a traversal of every encounter remain unverified. No unrelated launcher, client asset, Valor-book placement, account or mail changes were included.
