In this patch, there were some changes to the Root Abyss Chaos mode bosses, as well as changes to experience of some monsters, party quests, and Dimension Invade. They also let Mr. Goldstein in Lith Harbor level us up to 201!

The Root Abyss set effects have been changed. You now gain 20 of your main and sub stat as well as 1000 HP and MP for wearing 2 equips, 10% HP and MP and 20 attack/magic attack for 3 equips, and 20 attack/magic attack and 40% boss damage for 4 equips.
Certain areas’ monster experience has been adjusted. This includes party quests, Evolving System, Dimension Invade, Lab – Area C-1 and C-2, Red Nosed Pirates’ Den, and Training Hall 1 and 2. I’m not sure if they increased or decreased it…
All party quests and Dimension Invade’s daily entry count have been changed to 5 times per day. I guess if they increased the experience it would sort of make sense, however I don’t know about you but I get the most experience in party quests from clearing it, not from the monsters inside.
For Evolving System, they added in Cores for the 5 Cygnus instructors. They also reduced the time limit from 30 minutes to 20 minutes.
I didn’t realize they added it, but last patch the Knights of Cygnus tutorial was renewed. Here’s a video of it (thanks to skycombat for the video)!
They added in some quests at level 120 for Knights of Cygnus, which are pretty interesting. I’m not too sure but I think this is when Damian attacks Ereb, during a regular Alliance meeting. One of the quests is called Awakening, so I believe that video of Empress Cygnus crying would go in here… (thanks to Youku KMSFan for the video)
Oh yeah, I also found out that they changed the quests for the Noble Mind skill! Previously, you had to do the long quest line in the Temple of Time and defeat Arkairum 6 times. Now, you just have to talk to Nineheart every 5 levels from 125 to 150.
There was a new Cash item added, called the Owl of Tote. You can only search for equipment with it, but the plus side is that you can choose to specify a certain stat that you would like it to have.
For example, I can choose to search only for Fafnir Windchaser with over 2000% boss damage (one of the things you can get from Additional Options, this item does not search for potential stats).
They also added Luminous into Monster Life! There are three different kinds, aren’t they cute~? They added 3 stages of Mir as well, but they look the same as regular so that’s no fun.
