Final Fantasy XIV Patch 5.57 Introduces New Quality of Life Improvements

Continuing the pre-Endwalker development cycle for Final Fantasy XIV, Square Enix has rolled out Final Fantasy XIV Patch 5.57 onto their Japanese, North American and European data centres. This update features no new content per ce. Instead, it rolls out a range of new quality of life improvements that will surely be valuable to those facing rare problems accessing servers or looking to grind heavily ahead of Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker launching in November 2021.

A highlight reel of new inclusions are listed below, otherwise, you can read the full patch notes / feature list HERE.

The following adjustments have been made to Eden’s Promise (Savage):

  • Two treasure coffers will now always appear. Furthermore, the weekly restriction on rewards obtained from coffers has been removed.
  • The weekly entrance restriction on all areas of Eden’s Promise (Savage) has been removed.
  • Players may now proceed directly to any area of Eden’s Promise (Savage).
  • Players will now receive the power of the Echo.
    The Echo will take effect upon entering Eden’s Promise (Savage) raids, increasing players’ maximum HP, damage dealt, and healing potency by 10%.

The following adjustments have been made to the Bozjan southern front:

  • Field Notes on Dyunbu have been added to the possible rewards for completion of the skirmishes “Brought to Heal” and “No Camping Allowed.
  • Treasure chests that appear after freeing hostages during the critical engagement “The Battle of Castrum Lacus Litore” will now yield more forgotten fragments.
  • The amount of mettle earned for completion of the critical engagement “The Battle of Castrum Lacus Litore” has been increased.

The weekly limitation on Allagan tomestones of revelation has been increased from 450 to 900.

The “Visit Another World Server” option has been added to the subcommand menu on the character selection screen, allowing players to log in on another World.

Please consider this option when having difficulty logging into your Home World, or when it is overly congested. The following restrictions apply when using this option:

  • A destination World cannot be selected when using this option. A World with available space will be chosen automatically.
  • Players will log in near the aetheryte of their starting city.
  • This feature is not available under certain conditions, such as after logging out while undertaking certain duties.
