## Resource

The last part of Patch 7.4 is here - Patch 7.45 brings us a lot of changes and updates, including the new Variant dungeon - The Merchant's Tale! Is it as good as we hoped? Square Enix has also taken legal action against a malicious FFXIV blogger, and we discuss the state of the community. In MogMail we discuss what keeps us interested in FFXIV and discuss Halmarut theories. Welcome!
