Titan Development Log

The World page now has a Carbuncle’s Ruby weather finder with its own direct link. It shows current opportunities across the 25 outdoor areas accepted by I Can Hear a Rainbow, grouped by the seven required lights. Select a light to see its locations; clouds, fog, light and dark weather, indoor areas and zones outside the quest’s list are excluded. Clear weather includes the Sunshine condition accepted by the quest.

A thin strip below the homepage clock summarizes the available lights and links straight to the full finder. Readings refresh every 30 seconds, and stale or unavailable readings are not counted as opportunities. With the quest active, carry Carbuncle’s Ruby in your inventory and zone into a listed area to collect its light. The finder does not read or track your character’s collected lights.

The Weather shortcut on the World page used a separate link style, leaving it with different lettering, corners and spacing from the other section buttons. It now uses the same button styling and scrolling behavior as the rest of the navigation row.

Corsair recruits could stop rolling with gambits enabled and both Support choices set to None: that configuration incorrectly skipped the automatic roll planner. It now uses the usual party-aware choices. Evoker's Roll also failed because a check rejected it when the Corsair had no MP, even though the roll benefits the party. That check now distinguishes rolls from single-target Refresh spells.

Buff requests made in chat were stored separately from the settings restored after leveling, so a level-up could replace your requests with old selections. Chat and the two Support selectors now share the same session priorities. Requests survive level changes, including requests made before opening the addon, and default buffs clears both selections.

Changing a full two-roll combination previously waited for old effects to expire. A different requested roll can now replace an old one through the normal roll system when its cooldown is ready. The two-roll limit, busts, Double-Up and normal ability cooldowns still apply; changing a selection does not reset timers. The master OFF switch continues to stop new actions.

The Support choices now include the five missing Treasures of Aht Urhgan rolls: Corsair's, Beast, Choral, Drachen and Puppet. Corsair's Roll is the EXP buff; Phantom Roll is the ability category rather than a separate selectable buff. All eighteen era rolls retain their normal level requirements.

Group 2 merits were still stopping at rank 3 because the era override supplied only three upgrade costs; the server uses that table length as the individual limit. The client menu also retained the three-rank ceiling. Both tables now allow rank 5, with ranks 4 and 5 costing five Merit Points each.

The same correction lifts the older individual limits on existing level-75 merits: HP/MP and attributes can reach rank 10, defensive skills rank 8, and Others rank 5. Higher ranks follow native costs, while previously available ranks keep their existing costs. HP/MP and attributes stop at the server's level-75 effect ceiling rather than exposing ranks that need higher levels to take effect.

Shared category totals still apply, including 10 allocated ranks in each enabled job group. The current era spell and ability selections remain; disabled GEO/RUN merits and level-96 merit weapon skills stay unavailable. The existing earned storage limit of 75 Merit Points is unchanged. No free points or ranks are granted.

The matching client merit-menu update is delivered through the launcher.

The World page now has a Current Weather section with a direct link, zone-name search, and a button for each weather type. Elemental colors make the filters easier to scan. It shows the weather actually running on Titan in base-game, Zilart, Chains of Promathia, and Treasures of Aht Urhgan zones; later expansion zones are excluded. Readings refresh every 30 seconds, and missing or stale readings are marked unavailable.

Bard Recruits stopped using their idle movement song because the Support-choice system was also blocking Mazurka. That restriction has been removed for peaceful travel. After 30 continuous seconds with no party engagement or enemy hate, level 37–72 Bards can use Raptor Mazurka and level 73+ Bards can use Chocobo Mazurka. The song planner preserves Mazurka while the party remains peaceful, then resumes selected combat songs when fighting returns. Gambits OFF still prevents new actions.

Dynamis test updates can now proceed immediately when the test server is empty. The 10-minute restart countdown and global warnings remain required for live Titan updates.

Soulsoother and Spiritreaver construction could stay unfinished long after the base completion timer had expired. An era override was advancing work at real-world Japanese midnights, requiring daily coffee and blocking delivery while its separate work-day counter remained positive. That conflicted with the base quest’s Vana’diel-day timer.

Head construction now follows the base Vana’diel schedule, including its existing two-to-four, three-to-four, or five-day wait depending on the scroll supplied. Imperial Coffee is optional: one cup can shorten an unfinished head’s wait by one Vana’diel day, once per Vana’diel day, starting the day after commissioning. It no longer gates progress on a real-world daily work cycle.

Paid materials and existing completion deadlines are preserved. If your head is already overdue, speak to Ghatsad after the update to collect it; you do not need to restart the quest or pay again. The old work counters are cleared on interaction. Original frame materials and next-Vana’diel-day frame delivery remain unchanged.

The Uggalepih Offering pickup could start hidden with no timer to bring it back. Its NPC record omitted the visible status, and the loader treats an omitted status as hidden. The pickup now explicitly starts visible at its normal location in the Temple of Uggalepih.

A successful collection gives one Offering and hides the pickup for everyone for two hours. While hidden, it selects one of six Phoenix reference locations and moves there after three seconds. The random selection may choose the same location again. This replaces the previous one-hour cooldown and fixed position.

Players who already have an Offering, have a full inventory, or cannot receive the item do not start a new hide or movement cycle. Following the supplied Phoenix behavior, a server restart restores the initial location and makes the pickup available again; the two-hour cooldown is not saved across restarts. Pawberry trading, loot and Recruit behavior are unchanged.

The NPC data passes schema validation.

The diagnostics controls introduced in 1.6.1 were missing from the visible launcher because the newer Play screen discarded controls from its original layout. They now live inside Troubleshooting, alongside Compatibility Launch and DirectX repair.

Open Troubleshooting and leave Crash monitoring (keep launcher open) checked to record game-session diagnostics. After an unexpected exit, wait a few seconds and choose Export diagnostics to save a local ZIP for review and support. Unchecking the menu option restores close-after-launch behavior. The launcher and installer are Microsoft Artifact Signed; this corrects access to the diagnostic tools and does not claim to resolve the reported combat crash.
