Final Fantasy XIV Patch 5.01 Launches - New Raids, Balance Changes, Bug Fixes, and More

Final Fantasy XIV launched patch 5.01 yesterday which introduced several new things to the game, the most notable being the new Eden raids (normal), with the Savage version set to launch in 2 weeks. Several balance changes were also made, but the changes were extremely minor, with much larger class changes set to drop in 2 weeks with the new savage content.

Interestingly, there's been a small change to the normal raid loot system. Previously these normal bosses dropped up ~4 tokens each which could be traded in for various pieces of gear. Loot has since increased to 8 tokens per boss, but as always, players can only receive 1 piece of loot per week from each of these raids. The names of the token drops have also changed to clearly indicate what piece of equipment they can be traded in for.
