In Final Fantasy XIV Patch 6.1 is now available. It brings a lot of content – among other things, the “Content Helper” system is an interesting point in the patch notes.
This is what the Content Helper feature brings: You can use the Content Helper feature when you prefer to complete certain parts of the game solo rather than with a group of players.
The “Content Helper” is designed so that you can tackle dungeons and trials from “A Realm Reborn” with a group of NPCs instead of waiting for real players. The main scenario has been revised accordingly. You can simply select the relevant dungeons:
Basically, several trials have been overhauled to make them more accessible for both new and solo players.
In an official statement, the developers also explained that the Content Helper will be expanded in future updates so that additional content, such as from the Heavensward expansion, can also be selected.
But that’s far from the only thing in the new patch.
