Patch Notes 15OCT10

[Important Update Details] - Market wards have been modified as follows: ( http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/topics/detail?id=693682a80ae927d74b11a0381c7cd1af570568aa ) - Targeting and selecting a retainer will automatically open their Bazaar. - The party bonus system (which awards bonus skill points for battles fought in a party) has been changed so that the bonus is awarded based on the number of fellow party members in the same area who are within the appropriate skill rank range, not simply the total number of party members. - The maximum numbers of crystals and shards each character and retainer is capable of carrying has been changed to 9999. This is a temporary measure and crystals or shards obtained in excess of this amount will automatically be discarded. The system is undergoing a fundamental redesign and adjustments will continue to be made. - NPC display priority has been modified. This will ensure that important NPCs, such as Baderon, are displayed first. - An issue where the retainer would not appear when summoned with the Summoning Bell has been fixed. - An issue where the retainer would be visible to other players when summoned with the bell has been fixed. - An issue where text commands could be used to equip items that the player should not have been able to equip has been fixed.
 * Wards are now assigned specific item categories.
 * Items corresponding to a ward’s item category will receive lower tax rates than items that do not correspond to the category.
 * For an example of the new ward names and item categories, please visit the following page:
 * The party bonus system awards more points when there are more party members within the appropriate skill rank range.
 * In this case, "appropriate skill rank range" means a skill rank no more than five ranks lower or higher than your own.
