Patch 1.17a giving players of Final Fantasy XIV a new task

Patch 1.17 went live just a scant 10 days ago, but Final Fantasy XIV is already advancing the game further with the new patch 1.17a. Releasing today during a maintenance session slated to last until 8 p.m. EDT, the patch is adding more than just new notifications for party formation and another round of additional sidequests. As it happens, this patch is stealthily adding a new set of objectives that can be completed daily, tasks for the various guilds throughout Eorzea that govern all of the game's many disciplines.

Players will be able to pick up tasks from the message boards found in the Adventurer's Guild within each city. Each player can complete one task per guild per day, which will award skill points as well as other rewards. Since the tasks are limited to only one per guild, players taking part in a number of different disciplines will no doubt find themselves awash in options for new content to undertake after the Final Fantasy XIV client has finished applying the newest patch.
