Titan Development Log

The Guild Crafting Service now lists only recipes for which your Main character owns every ingredient and crystal across supported inventories and Mog storage. It no longer buys missing materials or accepts a sourcing budget. Equipped and bazaar-listed items remain protected.

The exact crafting fee is the total normal-quality output vendor sell value plus 20%, including every item produced. The game rechecks materials, gil and delivery eligibility, then consumes materials and payment together with the guaranteed normal-quality delivery. One active request per character remains enforced.

The character shown as Main when signing in is now saved consistently for the crafting service, fixing orders rejected despite showing the correct character. Existing explicit Main choices are preserved. Previous failed orders are not automatically retried.

TitanGambits now displays the saved Chaosbringer unlock count after each valid kill, up to 100. Progress follows system-message chat routing; assign that channel to Window 2 to keep the counter there. The later Blade of Death quest and its 200-kill requirement are unchanged.

Recruit buff prompts are now one short line listing effects available at their current level. Only Bard, support Summoner, Geomancer and Corsair ask; healers keep their normal routines. Preference acknowledgments are shorter, and unanswered prompts leave normal AI unchanged.

The Fanged One now credits accepted quest participants near Tiger Bones as well as near Old Sabertooth when it dies naturally. This fixes waiting at the bones without receiving credit when the tiger dies farther along its route. Click Tiger Bones within three minutes to collect the fang; damaging the tiger still invalidates the natural-death requirement.

Crossbow bolts now accept all 22 jobs, including Bronze Bolts on Thief. Server and client job permissions are synchronized. Bolt levels, damage and additional effects are unchanged; the crossbow itself still requires a compatible job and level. Launcher updates deliver the matching item data.

The eight crafting-guild Ephemeral Moogles in San d’Oria, Bastok and Windurst are now available for crystal and cluster storage. Cancelled trades cannot carry stale crystal credit into the next trade, and invalid withdrawal selections are rejected.

Progression materials now have a protected Auction House reserve of three complete sets across 25 item types. Shortages refill every 24 real-world hours at verified NPC resale value plus 20%. Players can purchase these supplies; Guild automation cannot consume the protected minimum. Quest requirements are unchanged.

When Guild recipes need a cluster, the Guild can combine twelve matching crystals from its own stock into one cluster. This preserves the crystals and acquisition costs in an audited transaction. Needed clusters are retained for crafting, and packed clusters are not automatically opened again.

Generated Blue Mage Recruits can use Magic Hammer from effective level 74 to recover MP against living, non-undead enemies with sufficient MP. Normal spell cost, recast and casting checks remain in place.

Titan now tracks separate Mining, Logging and Excavation mastery from 0.0 to 100.0. Successfully receiving a gathered item gives a 15% chance to gain 0.1. Higher mastery modestly reduces tool breaks, up to a 10% relative reduction at maximum skill. Loot odds, area access and gathering limits remain unchanged. Use !fieldcraft to view progress; Harvesting and Chocobo Digging are unchanged.

Forge Your Destiny now requires one real-world minute after trading the required materials, matching Titan's shortened Samurai artifact quest waits. Players on either previous unlock timer receive elapsed-time credit when speaking to Jaucribaix; anyone who has already waited a minute can proceed.

Quest requirements and rewards are unchanged. Applied during one announced maintenance window.

Forge Your Destiny now takes one full Vana'diel day (57 minutes, 36 seconds) after the required trade. Existing waits receive credit for elapsed time when speaking to Jaucribaix. Samurai artifact quest waits already set to one minute remain unchanged; story conditions and battle limits are preserved.

Restored website access logging with query strings and request/response headers omitted. Added bounded, hourly-checked game-log rotation and bounded website logs.

Investigated Guild deadlocks and identified contention between the background market-need scan and active crafting on Auction House rows. A targeted planner fix remains follow-up work; no change to Guild prices, sourcing or craft rules is included in this update.

Titan Launcher 1.5.66 adds Try Compatibility Launch: a temporary windowed 1280x720 profile with default Direct3D parameters and the opening movie disabled. Normal saved graphics and controller settings are preserved. New graphics-device errors are identified from the current launch attempt instead of being reported only as a loader timeout.

DirectX Setup / Repair offers the official Microsoft June 2010 legacy runtime installer, with a confirmation prompt and verified download hashes. It adds legacy components without replacing Windows DirectX. TitanGambits and its addon loader are now required for Titan gameplay; other optional extensions remain selectable.

These tools help diagnose startup problems; they do not identify the cause of every laptop graphics failure.

Recruitment now restores encounter tracking for players reconnecting to an active battlefield or instance, while preserving native admission, capacity and solo restrictions. Dancer is temporarily excluded from world-anchor and normal manual recruitment while reported client crashes are investigated; this is a precaution, not a confirmed crash cure.

TitanGambits distinguishes Geo-Refresh from regular Refresh so its buff checks allow the RDM spell to be reapplied while the aura remains. The client update restores missing RDM eligibility fields on the six era Group 2 merit entries; equipment scaling under level caps is unchanged.

Global in-game NM defeat announcements are limited to wild-zone encounters, excluding battlefield, instance and Dynamis kills plus Promyvion Strays and Memory Receptacles. Website kill records remain available. All 291 out-of-era Apex spawn entries are removed from the four Promyvion zones, preserving ordinary monsters.

Titan Launcher 1.5.65 imports existing graphics, controller and mouse preferences and preserves manual INI choices unless you explicitly change the matching launcher setting. Optional addons, including LuAshitacast and TitanGambits, can remain unchecked. Existing LuAshitacast files are preserved, and the launcher no longer rewrites titan.txt.

Opening cinematics default to off, with a visible setting to turn them on. Added an explicit Reset Defaults button, backups before preference migration, atomic settings writes, and a visible error instead of silently overwriting unreadable settings. Custom commands in the active startup script are preserved; those commands may independently load addons.

Both the launcher and installer were signed with Titan’s Microsoft Artifact Signing identity. These changes address settings resets; they do not establish that every reported client crash is resolved.

Typing /titan, /gambits or /titangambits now opens the Titan window when closed and closes it when open. The explicit /gambits ui command still opens the window. Gambit automation settings are unchanged.

Close the game and let the launcher update addons, or reload TitanGambits after updating its files.

Generated Dancer Recruits no longer use Healing Waltz. They use level-available White Mage subjob status-removal spells in combat and while idle, including Erase from subjob level 32. Normal MP, silence, range and recast restrictions apply.

Curing and Divine Waltzes still restore HP. This is a targeted mitigation for reported Dancer client crashes. Player Dancer abilities are unchanged.
