The Final Fantasy XIV Lodestone has been updated with information about the final patch version of 2010 scheduled to go live on Tuesday, December 21st. The patch will bring the 'item search function' into the game that allows players to search quickly through retainer bazaars in market wards to find the specific items they're looking to purchase.
With the introduction of the item search feature, it will now be significantly easier for players to locate specific items. We will continue to improve this system with further enhancements such as keyword-based searches, the ability to show the retainers selling an item at the lowest prices for searches returning numerous hits as with synthesis materials, and more. Concrete details regarding such information will be released in future Topics posts here on the Lodestone as they become available.
