A series of new objectives, including several new combat and gathering objectives for areas in Abyssea, will be added, as well as an adjustment to the respawn time for the Bloodsucker Notorious Monster.

New and adjusted rewards for successful completion of objectives will also be implemented, including brand new earrings and rings, as well as changing the voucher system to allow for players to choose how many they want to redeem at once, as well as allow players to redeem them for Ballista points.
