PandaFarmerWPF Changelog
2.5.3.4 10/04/2026

Variant Dungeons
- Fixed entrance cutscene skipping stopping the bot before the dungeon could begin. If skipping is delayed or refused, the bot watches the cutscene and continues the same route automatically.

2.5.3.3 10/03/2026

Variant Dungeons
- Purchase-only runs now enter a dungeon only when more of its potsherds are needed, and finish after the selected purchases and glamour storage are complete.
- Selected reward purchases can finish an accepted dungeon-unlock quest after its clear to unlock the exchange. Locked exchanges no longer interrupt farming.
- Glamour storage now recovers from ignored selections and temporary item-list changes while verifying the exact item before confirming a deposit.

Maintenance
- Routine maintenance and release checks.

2.5.3.2 10/03/2026

Variant Dungeons
- Added individual paths and reward-farming rotation for all twelve Mount Rokkon records and all thirteen records in The Merchant's Tale.
- Added larger companion portraits and each dungeon's current inventory potsherd count beside reward progress.
- Shared rewards can use any suitable supported path, so farming the Shadowcaster Zeless Gah Card no longer requires AoE suppression when paths 5 or 6 are available.
- Improved recovery through dungeon entry, loading transitions, interrupted runs and repeat-route handoffs. Temporary license-check failures now retry automatically.
- Improved Sil'dihn cotton-flower pulls and route interactions in Mount Rokkon and The Merchant's Tale, with checkpoint recovery and game-language dialogue choices.
- Route tests and collection runs no longer stop solely because inventory has fewer than six free slots.
- Updated the Variant Dungeons purchase link to the direct checkout.

Maintenance
- Made Beta update publication more reliable on slow connections.

2.5.2.0 10/01/2026

Variant Dungeons
- Renamed the tab to Variant Dungeons and made it available without the hidden-tab shortcut.
- Added individual farming choices for every reward. Automatic runs select suitable paths until the chosen rewards are obtained, while purchase-only preferences remain separate.
- All run modes now use individual path profiles and preserve the five-second wait before leaving, giving Platypus time to collect Personal Spoils.
- Improved recovery after interrupted routes, duty timeouts and Sil'dihn's secret-path ritual without advancing failed attempts or requiring chat acknowledgements.
- Fixed interruptions at completion in older downloaded routes and improved Aloalo forest approaches and incidental-combat recovery.
- Reduced repeated missing-item messages when opening reward lists; unavailable ownership stays unknown rather than being treated as unowned.

Travel
- Fixed Old Sharlayan inn entry when the innkeeper uses the room-specific menu, using the attached game's language for dungeon preparation, retirement and glamour storage.

Changelog
- Fixed What's new showing outdated release notes after an update. Online notes now follow the installed release channel and preserve newer bundled notes.

Maintenance
- Reduced download size and disk usage while preserving upgrades from older installations and installed-language notebook and Mogpendium data.

2.5.1.4 09/30/2026

V&C Dungeons
- Added separately licensed solo Variant Dungeon workflows for The Sil'dihn Subterrane, Mount Rokkon, Aloalo Island and The Merchant's Tale, with supported exploration-record selection, Variant actions, mechanics, recovery and safe duty exit.
- Added localized reward catalogs with ownership status, Personal Spoils collection, optional potsherd exchanges and glamour-dresser storage, plus repeat-until-collected planning across each dungeon's supported routes.
- Added a dedicated Variant overlay showing the current dungeon, route and objective. Stop Gently finishes the active dungeon and exits before stopping.
- Added an Open Spoils option that enables Platypus chest collection. Missing chests no longer stop or delay route progression.
- Failed route attempts now leave the dungeon and retry the same path with the selected job and abilities, without advancing collection runs.
- Improved route recovery around previously cleared packs and fixed interruptions when loading the next protected route.
- Added independent V&C activation controls so an add-on key never replaces the Panda Farmer base license.

Mogpendium
- Added a character-bound planner under Misc that reads the active journal, runs selected supported Weekly, Minimog and Ultimog objectives, exports the generated profile and can claim earned rewards.
- Added an objective overlay and safe handoffs to protected duty, Variant and Panda Triple Triad activities, with completion verification before another activity can repeat.
- Standard objectives are shown for planning but are not automated; Porta Decumana events direct users to the existing Duty Farming workflow.
- Closed events, unsupported objectives, paired Minimog choices and received reward state are now explained directly in the planner.

Beastmaster
- Added a localized confirmation before starting open-world FATE capture routes so users can review the shared-world farming impact or cancel safely.

Settings
- Reorganized limited-time event navigation and added bounded, cached game-state publication so large reward and objective pages remain responsive while the bot is stopped or running.

2.5.1.3 09/24/2026

Final Fantasy XV Crossover
- Added a dedicated limited-time event tab with official crossover artwork, completed quest indicators, obtained reward badges and MGP progress.
- Added the three event quests, including Iseultalon and Garuda mechanics, Garuda's quick-time event, cutscene skipping and grounded interaction before duty entry.
- Added Gold Saucer unlocking, checks for already-owned rewards and LlamaArcade farming for missing MGP before purchasing the Regalia, Lucian Locks and Noctis card.
- Known issue: travel from Chocobo Square back to the reward vendor can stall after MGP farming; manual travel may be needed.

2.5.1.2 09/19/2026

Beastmaster
- Fixed Auto Party captures incorrectly reporting that Magitek Capture is disabled when using its hot-reload loader. Settings now recommend a healer carry for capture runs.
- Added a clearly visible Farm Poetics gear now button in Settings to obtain missing level-50 Ironworks equipment without enabling automatic Progression gearing or continuing quests and captures.
- A Beastmaster's Path now requires Sin of Blood rather than a Third Board clear.
- FATE routes always allow lower-level FATEs and use corrected level boundaries when advancing through training and capture stages.
- Captured Rafflesia and Behemoth show Captured instead of Not yet supported. Removed the under-construction prompt from the Beastmaster page.
- Corrected generated profile stop instructions so progression can finish or report unmet requirements cleanly.

Yo-kai Watch
- Corrected stopping after arrival at the vendor.

2.5.1.1 09/15/2026

Beastmaster
- Questing and Progression now enable listed quests as their catalog profiles are published, without requiring another plugin update. Reopen the page or use Refresh to pick up newly supported quests.
- Progression includes later published Beastmaster quests when their Crucible requirements are met.

2.5.1.0 09/14/2026

Beastmaster
- Auto Party now coordinates captures for Hydra, Damselfly, Rotting Goobbue, Zu, Ice Golem and Karlabos, while earlier duty beasts retain their solo routes. Both characters need this update.
- Beastmaster weakens targets with Magitek before Capture, and the carry waits for the mark before attacking. Emergency Capture starts at 40% Beastmaster health, with a five-minute weakening limit.
- Healing carries support Beastmaster with healing, cleansing and combat-only defensive buffs. Red Mage can assist with Vercure.
- Either free character rescues a swallowed partner by attacking Voracious Maw, then resumes capture coordination without releasing an unmarked Gourmand. Carries engage the current target if Beastmaster dies.
- Capture runs retain the party between attempts, leave after the selected targets are defeated, allow time for capture results, and retry missing beasts instead of skipping them after three runs.
- Improved following across visibility gaps, initial boss approaches, death recovery and sealed-arena entry. Corrected Hydra duty detection and prevented Beastmaster from following instead of fighting a marked target.
- Capture coordination uses fewer party messages. Capture lists show an Auto Party badge and explain the required setting; Captured replaces the badge once obtained.

2.5.0.10 09/12/2026

Beastmaster
- Progression now supports quests through Gobsmacked and checks the required Crucible board completions before offering locked quests.
- Optional vendor armor upgrades now check for newly wearable pieces throughout leveling, buying affordable improvements while preserving travel gil.
- Generated progression profiles are much smaller, avoiding repeated copies of the armor-shopping routine.
- Added grouped duty captures for Slime, Dullahan, Cobra, Antling and Chimera, with bestiary checks, retries and recovery after death or restarting inside a supported solo duty.
- Added optional level-50 Poetics preparation before duty captures. Select a farming job to obtain the full compatible i130 Ironworks armor and accessories, including two rings, while counting pieces already owned.
- Added optional Auto Party captures with close following and priority for missing beasts. Supports Hydra, Damselfly, Rotting Goobbue, Zu, Ice Golem and Karlabos, with up to three attempts per duty. Rafflesia and Behemoth remain unsupported.
- Capture lists now show beast icons and separate names from locations. Shared supply, equipment and FATE options are grouped in Settings, and completed progression steps are hidden by default with an option to show them.
- Beastmaster is available only on clients at patch 7.56 or later.

Dungeon Farming
- Greeting, farewell and random-wait settings now reveal their related controls immediately. Disabling greetings or farewells also hides custom message editors without discarding saved text.

2.5.0.9 09/11/2026

Dungeon Farming
- Corrected the event currency stop condition to count Irregular Tomestones of Astronomy I, preserving existing targets and showing the correct name in settings and the overlay.

2.5.0.8 09/10/2026

Updates
- Restored automatic updates for older Panda Farmer WPF installations left behind when the official Beta channel launched, including installs using the original download service.

BeastMaster
- Added a default Progression tab that resumes supported quests, field captures and FATE training through level 50 using your saved leveling zones and blacklist. Quests after Into the Crucible remain unsupported.
- Progression includes optional Greens and egg supply runs. Enabling Gysahl Greens in either training workflow also enables Magitek's Summon Chocobo setting.
- Optional vendor armor upgrades at levels 10, 20 and 40 buy and equip missing pieces only when affordable, preserving 2,000 gil for travel and keeping the level-30 quest armor. A separate option allows automatic equipping of owned upgrades during Progression.
- Armor shopping now approaches Iron Thunder from the counter, finishes purchasing missing pieces, closes merchant menus and continues to the next objective without returning to the starting inn.
- Added a compact Cu Sith overlay showing the current objective and progress. Stop Gently finishes the current FATE, capture attempt or quest before stopping.
- Replaced the header artwork with a compact transparent Cu Sith mascot and corrected the Black Eft landing point.

Dungeon Farming
- Added Irregular Tomestones of Aphorism as a currency stop condition, with progress shown in the dungeon overlay.

Overlays
- Pending gentle-stop buttons remain readable against the dark background.

2.5.0.7 09/10/2026

BeastMaster
- Added an experimental BeastMaster page with quest selection, configurable FATE leveling, and 36 field-beast capture routes. Each workflow switches to Beastmaster before starting.
- Completed quests and captured beasts remain visible with status badges and disabled checkboxes. Quests after Into the Crucible are marked as not yet supported.
- Saves quest and capture choices, leveling stages, and the last selected tab per character.
- FATE leveling supports one shared blacklist for every zone, with the target level and exclusions kept visible in the bottom bar.
- Optional supply runs buy 99 Gysahl Greens or Hard Boiled Eggs when none remain. The egg option enables Platypus automatic meals and keeps eggs selected after the run.

Settings
- Class quests now refresh after changing jobs while the bot is stopped, including when using Refresh quests.

Duty Leveling
- Gear recovery now chooses Poetics accessories with the active job's primary stat, and automatic gear selection uses that same stat when comparing upgrades.

Sidequests
- Selected sidequests now load through expansion packs, reducing authentication requests during startup. Missing packs or quests fall back to individual downloads one at a time.

MSQ
- Expansion packs now download one at a time to reduce authentication failures caused by simultaneous requests.
- Added the Dawntrail 7.56 story quests, with completion checks and progress tracking that respect the regional client version.

2.5.0.6 09/08/2026

Housing
- Estate protection now refreshes the Estate tab before checking demolition risk and confirms cancellation from fresh data after visiting an owned estate. Unavailable or incomplete timer data is retried rather than treated as safe.

Protected Duties
- Profiles loaded directly from disk through OrderBot can now use shared protected-duty tags without first starting a task from Panda Farmer's settings, while profiles started by another Panda product retain that product's authenticated session.

MSQ
- MSQ can now recover required-duty item-level gates by equipping owned upgrades, farming Keeper of the Lake, and buying only the compatible Poetics gear still needed; the MSQ overlay reports the active recovery step.
- AutoParty requests now honor the MSQ AutoParty setting before authentication and skip cleanly when disabled, while carry hosting remains available independently.
- Restored two additional Stormblood quest transitions so the generated story route includes every required step in that sequence.

Solo Duties
- Authored quest battles can now follow ordered breadcrumb routes without cycling backward, react to live movement, casts, and statuses, and use an exact contextual duty action on one unambiguous target while continuing to yield to active avoidance.

2.5.0.5 08/30/2026

Seasonal Events
- Seasonal events now load their schedules, localized details, quest routes, and rewards from Panda's authenticated catalog, allowing new standard events to appear without a plugin update.
- The seasonal-event tab now supports overlapping events, refreshes as event windows change, retains the last authenticated catalog while offline, and follows the current game client's regional schedule and official event link.
- Regional event links are validated only for the active client region, so unrelated regional data cannot hide an otherwise valid event.

Solo Duties
- Same-territory quest battles can now recover after entry, reload, loading, death, and return-to-starter transitions even when RebornBuddy does not expose an instance director.
- Authored solo-duty routes can use bounded hotspot recovery, mechanic-critical movement and interactions, opt-in dismounting, explicit combat target policies, and temporary priority targeting for important enemy casts.

2.5.0.4 08/28/2026

Seasonal Events
- The Rising 2026 can now run directly or automatically before other Panda Farmer tasks, completes both event quests, and tracks Wind-up Wuk Lamat plus all three orchestrion roll rewards.

2.5.0.3 08/28/2026

Duty Leveling
- Added an optional per-character custom route editor with every dungeon in Panda's maintained catalog, adjustable level cutoffs, ordering controls, validation, autosave, and reset-to-default support.
- Panda's default route now includes Haukke Manor from level 28, uses one route for every combat job, and continues through Vanguard until level 100 without the retired Origenics step.
- The expanded route editor now keeps dungeon names, numeric cutoffs, movement controls, and actions visible and aligned at the supported window size.

MSQ
- Added optional randomized periodic rests that wait for a safe interruption point, can teleport to the nearest unlocked same-zone aetheryte, resume the same profile, and exclude break time from the MSQ timers.
- The MSQ overlay now shows the next scheduled rest, pending relocation, and active-rest countdown.
- Restored three missing Stormblood quest steps so the generated route does not skip those required transitions.

Role-play Duties
- Role-play duties now recover when normal navigation stalls on checkpoints, interactable objects, or an active avoidance route while continuing to yield to combat and SideStep safety decisions.
- Stale defeated targets no longer prevent checkpoint progression, and one-button role-play combos can execute through their supported hotbar action path.

Dungeon Farming
- Compact run-count selectors now keep two-digit values and the dropdown arrow visible.

2.5.0.2 08/23/2026

Release Channels
- The License page now guides customers through switching to Stable, installs the selected channel, and restarts RebornBuddy automatically.
- Switching between Stable and Beta now completes in one restart, preserves activation and channel-specific preferences, and avoids missing-loader errors when returning to Stable.

Settings
- Opening Panda Farmer during zoning now shows a responsive localized loading screen until game data is ready, preventing stale settings and freezes.
- If settings cannot initialize, Panda Farmer now shows a recoverable error instead of terminating RebornBuddy.

2.5.0.1 08/22/2026

Release Channels
- The License page now shows the selected release channel and can switch safely between Stable and Beta on the next RebornBuddy restart.
- Stable and Beta can now share one Panda Farmer installation, including when both channels use the same version number.

Beta Channel
- PandaFarmerWPF is now the official Panda Farmer Beta while the existing Stable version remains available unchanged.

Compatibility
- Updated for RebornBuddy's official net10 version and the current LlamaLibrary release.
- Custom follow, escort, and Duty Leveling conditions now work with RebornBuddy net10.

Dungeon Farming
- Duty Queue entries now use compact 1-99 run selectors when adding or editing a duty, keeping the selected count visible and updating the saved total immediately.
- Add a duty now includes the same compact job-icon selector as saved queue rows, so each duty is queued with the intended unlocked combat job.

2.4.3.7 08/21/2026

Dungeon Farming
- Dungeon Queue can now correctly match a saved Duty Finder selection to the active instance and resume inside the same unfinished duty, while still refusing to adopt a different duty.

Usage & Privacy
- Optional anonymous usage sharing now includes completed duty duration and job outcome, time per level, and MSQ expansion timing; duties that never start are excluded, and partial MSQ runs remain separate.
- The usage disclosure now describes the optional performance fields while continuing to exclude product keys and character, account, and machine identities.

Quest Automation
- Class and job quest automation now follows alternate starter branches and combined MSQ requirements, loads only the next eligible quest, and avoids repeating a route that cannot progress.

Squadrons
- Completed training results now tolerate temporary result-window failures, and autonomous deployments stop early with a localized explanation when the character lacks enough Grand Company seals.

2.4.3.6 08/17/2026

Dungeon Farming
- Trust queues now resolve the selected duty from the running game client, preventing The Clyteum from selecting Mistwake when newly inserted duties shift the Trust list.

Squadrons
- Rank Up and background Squadron automation now use all available daily training sessions before dispatching a long autonomous mission, resume after active training completes, and continue safely when the daily sessions are exhausted.
- Progression missions remain available when the game briefly reports them as unavailable, with the deployment confirmation making the final eligibility check.

Quest Automation
- Stalking quests now wait for the confirmed event start, ignore dormant NPC placeholders, and use observed starter and NPC locations when authored coordinates are stale.

2.4.3.5 08/15/2026

Authentication
- Clock synchronization failures now show the verified computer and internet times in the customer’s Windows time zone, including UTC offsets, the exact difference and direction, guided sync actions, and one-click retry.
- The clock synchronization prompt now matches Panda Farmer's modal card and uses clear primary, secondary, and quiet button styling.

Settings
- Fixed a localized dungeon-help link that could crash RebornBuddy while the Panda Farmer settings window was opening.

2.4.3.4 08/15/2026

Compatibility
- Regional duty profiles now remain compatible across supported game clients.

Localization
- Added translated feature tooltips and customer copy throughout navigation, licensing, Dungeon Farming, Duty Leveling, MSQ, Misc, Settings, Squadrons, Yo-kai Watch, dialogs, generated prompts, and in-game overlays; recoverable workflow errors no longer expose English-only fallback text.
- Grand Company names and ranks, Squadron races and saved status, inn destinations, queue states, stop conditions, quest and item placeholders, and duty-objective fallbacks now follow the active client language while retaining stable saved values.

MSQ
- Added a localized MSQ timer reset action with an in-window confirmation that safely clears persisted time and restarts the active session clock from the reset moment.
- Manual-step forecasting now hides automated duty failure prompts until one actually executes, while preserving genuinely manual duties that have only conditional automation.
- Corrected ARR quest ordering and early-level gates, removed duplicate quest pulls, and fixed chocobo-supply handling.

Best Gear
- Best Gear now evaluates multi-slot equipment before the slots it occupies and skips slots still reserved by equipped gear, preventing invalid replacements during a single upgrade pass.

Compatibility
- Armoire storage and Grand Company Armoury settings now support the August 11, 2026 Global client and remain disabled on unverified regional clients.

2.4.3.3 08/12/2026

Duty Healing
- Friendly-NPC duty healing can perform ordered, status-verified actions, including delayed and location-gated preparation such as Kardia and Eukrasian Diagnosis.
- Duty profiles can now combine friendly-NPC healing checkpoints and interactable objects with LlamaUtilities without conflicts.
- Checkpoint navigation now yields immediately to hostile targets and stops its active movement path, allowing the combat routine to engage enemies instead of running through them.

MSQ
- Manual-step predictions now follow the executable quest and step conditions, preserve the correct Global, Chinese, and Traditional Chinese prompts, and exclude level, item-level, and expansion prerequisites from the overlay countdown.
- Generated expansion profiles now stop with a clear prerequisite prompt when an earlier expansion is incomplete, while ARR follows the selected Grand Company branch and required hard-mode trials correctly.

Auto Party
- Carry mode now disables and saves Magitek's automatic chocobo summon setting when available, preventing an idle carry character from repeatedly consuming Gysahl Greens.

2.4.3.2 08/12/2026

Duty Healing
- Friendly-NPC duty healing now supports White Mage, Scholar, Astrologian, and Sage while retaining action overrides for quest-specific mechanics.
- Emergency NPCs can preempt routine topping-off, and full-heal objectives continue caring for the selected NPC until it reaches full health.
- Sage shielding now reserves Eukrasia for the selected duty NPC through the complete Eukrasian Diagnosis sequence, preventing combat routines or changing target priority from consuming or redirecting it.

2.4.3.1 08/12/2026

Seasonal Events
- Added a limited-time Moonfire Faire 2026 tab with localized navigation, regional official-event links, current quest and reward names, automation, completion status, and permanent mount ownership status.
- The existing seasonal-events setting now places an active incomplete supported event quest before every Panda Farmer workflow, while the event tab and automation disappear automatically when the official event period ends.
- Seasonal quest eligibility now uses the currently equipped class or job level, allowing upgraded jobs such as Bard to start the route when they meet its requirement.

Settings
- Settings now open without blocking on live game reads while keeping event and class-quest status current.
- Seasonal reward ownership and event artwork now load promptly when settings or the event tab first opens.

2.4.3 08/11/2026

Profile Loading

MSQ
- Split MSQ quests now honor the current Auto Party setting and retain normal queueing when Auto Party is disabled.
- MSQ generation now loads unfinished expansions more reliably and falls back automatically when a complete expansion pack is unavailable.
- Shadowbringers and Endwalker routes now remain complete across level gates, and the missing ARR prerequisite step is restored so one generated profile can continue as the character levels.
- Already-completed quest steps no longer cause incomplete generated MSQ routes.
- Magitek area-of-effect adjustments now tolerate missing or renamed routine settings instead of preventing the MSQ profile from loading.

Reliability
- Starting any workflow from settings now enables Panda Farmer WPF first and contains preparation or command failures, keeping RebornBuddy open with actionable guidance.
- Class changes used by MSQ, Duty Leveling, and achievement routes now stop clearly instead of hanging when the requested gearset is unavailable.
- Grand Company Rank Up now finds the Armoury-first setting reliably on current clients.
- Gentle-stop requests for Duty Leveling and Dungeon Farming now wait for an active duty to finish and otherwise stop on the next safe bot update, preventing settings and local-control requests from freezing the host.

Settings
- Opening or refreshing settings during active automation now remains responsive while class levels, Armoury gear, world choices, quest status, and Grand Company and Squadron details update safely.
- Duty Leveling rows refresh immediately after a level-up, the startup progress dialog can be dragged, and version and release-date labels remain consistent during plugin initialization.

Duty Leveling
- Added a "Turn in items after every run" option that invokes Platypus expert delivery between duties.

Overlays
- Compact overlays now use distinct task artwork for MSQ, Duty Leveling, Dungeon Farming, Grand Company, Auto Party, and supported Misc workflows.
- Misc task overlays now retain their selected workflow identity and saved position for the full run.
- Active task overlays now refresh without startup hangs or stale progress from a previous run.

2.4.2 08/09/2026

Yo-kai Watch
- Active auto-umbrella and other fashion accessories are now put away before required minion summons, preventing rainy-weather event routes from stalling.

2.4.1 08/07/2026

Duty Profiles
- Panda Farmer profiles launched directly through OrderBot now start duty automation correctly, including after a manual stop and restart.

Branding
- Settings, activation, startup progress, and in-game overlay surfaces now use one consistent Panda Farmer product mark.

2.4.0 08/07/2026

Duty Profiles
- Maintained duty selection, queueing, zone recovery, and saved profiles now work without authentication fields in generated or saved profiles.
- Duty availability failures now stop safely with actionable guidance instead of leaving stale choices available.

MSQ
- Shadowbringers can continue through later level-gated story steps within the same run instead of omitting those quest segments when the profile is first generated.
- Dawntrail patch quests are included only when the active regional game client supports them, preventing unavailable-quest failures on clients behind the Global patch line.

2.3.5 08/05/2026

Dungeon Queue
- Removed the queue-wide Class To Use selector so every duty row's unlocked-job selection is authoritative from the first duty onward.
- Corrected saved-gearset activation so Pictomancer and other jobs after empty gearset slots no longer switch to the wrong job.

Settings
- Moved the complete Usage & Privacy disclosure and anonymous-usage opt-in into Settings, removed the separate navigation destination, and added a safe redirect for previously saved selections.

2.3.4 08/05/2026

Settings
- Added an enabled-by-default anonymous usage-telemetry option that can be turned off at any time; it reports only pseudonymous feature sessions and never sends product keys, characters, accounts, machines, locations, inventory, or gameplay details.
- Added a dedicated Usage & Privacy page with localized disclosure of every reported field and every sensitive data category that is never collected; opting out immediately clears unsent reports.
- Anonymous usage reports now distinguish built-in Misc choices and broad game-client regions without collecting profiles, worlds, data centers, network addresses, or physical location.

Misc
- Removed the expired seasonal-event entry point from Misc and safely clears old saved selections instead of starting hidden legacy content.

Reliability
- Profile starts now show a recoverable availability error instead of allowing a temporary network failure to close RebornBuddy.
- Plugin updates now stop each local RebornBuddy process safely and resume its exact profile afterward.

Duty Leveling
- Item-level gates no longer end the leveling session: Panda Farmer can equip owned upgrades, farm Keeper of the Lake for Poetics, buy compatible gear through LlamaLibrary without requiring Platypus, and resume automatically using the game's current duty requirement.
- The in-game overlay now shows both the current Duty Leveling session time and a safely checkpointed lifetime total for the active job.

Yo-kai Watch
- Collection Route can optionally store newly purchased weapons in the armoire during one batched inn visit, using validated item-to-cabinet mappings and leaving existing weapons untouched.
- Collection Route now farms and redeems each reward incrementally, registers purchased minions before their paired weapon farming, and waits safely through milestone reward cutscenes and dialogs.
- The event overlay now identifies Yo-kai onboarding quests as the active objective instead of showing normal FATE preparation prematurely.
- Added an independent Yo-kai overlay switch, so event progress can be hidden without disabling overlays for other Panda Farmer tasks.
- Inventory cleanup now waits until a FATE that the character entered has retired, stops movement before discarding, and returns control after a short randomized pause.
- Added a limited-time 2026 event workspace with game-data icons, saved medal and zone targets, a bulk quantity action, live inventory totals, onboarding quests, standard FATE farming, optional completion travel, and a separate vendor shortcut.
- The Yo-kai Collection Route no longer requires Lisbeth and downloads only the incomplete unlock quests it needs.
- Yo-kai routes now require a current LlamaUtilities installation and show a clear update prompt when it is missing or outdated.
- Added a Collection Route that detects permanently owned minions and weapon achievements, saves selected missing rewards, farms only the medals still required, and purchases and registers the chosen rewards automatically.
- Added optional pre-farming recovery of required medals from the normal chocobo saddlebag and verified retainer inventories, with safe UI cleanup and ordinary farming fallback when storage is unavailable.
- Added opt-in inventory cleanup for selected low-value FATE drops, including a window-scoped F1 hover shortcut, in-game confirmation, movement-safe disposal, and permanent protection for every event medal, reward, and watch.
- Added an in-game event overlay with the current minion, weapon, zone, FATE, medal progress, collection progress, session totals, and a Stop Gently action that finishes the current FATE before ending the route.
- The in-game event overlay now identifies the FATE whose radius actually contains the player, avoiding incorrect nearby FATE names when events overlap.
- Added an enabled-by-default option to use the companion chocobo during FATEs, including Magitek setup and automatic Gysahl Greens restocking after the companion quest is complete.
- Replaced per-zone FATE lists with one saved global blacklist, including safety exclusions and a compact action that captures the FATE currently containing the player for future routes.
- Mainland Chinese clients now open their official regional event page, while every client displays the event deadline in the computer's current time zone with an unambiguous UTC offset.
- Reorganized the collection setup footer so job, blacklist, route options, and start actions remain compact without squeezing the reward planner.

Grand Company
- Grand Company Rank Up now recognizes every company-specific chocobo, promotion, and Squadron quest, preventing missing variants.
- Grand Company Rank Up temporarily disables Armoury-first item storage only while expert deliveries require normal inventory, then restores the character's original setting after completion, stopping, plugin disable, or delayed zoning recovery.
- The temporary Armoury-first override now supports current Global and Traditional Chinese clients and remains disabled on unverified regions.
- The Squadron card now reports live mission and training completion times, remembers Panda-dispatched mission names, and avoids an unnecessary return trip when the resumed OrderBot profile will immediately navigate elsewhere.

Housing
- Estate protection now runs during any active OrderBot profile, refreshes Timers before traveling, tolerates delayed indoor housing state after zoning, and rechecks the demolition timer after arrival.

Dungeon Queue
- Starting a new queue from inside an unfinished duty now stops with clear recovery guidance instead of repeatedly recreating an unreservable first attempt.
- Early-exit loot delays now begin only after combat ends and restart if combat resumes, preserving the full post-combat window for treasure handling.
- The in-game overlay now shows the active queue's repeat stop conditions and early-exit rule with localized item and rule descriptions.

Class Quests
- Level 1 "My First..." quests are recognized as completed when any later quest in the displayed class or job progression has already been completed.
- Solo-duty profiles can heal required friendly NPC allies while preserving normal hostile targeting, interaction, checkpoint, item-use, and recovery behavior.

MSQ
- Heavensward Aether Current quests now load reliably across regional clients while retaining zone-specific steps only where they augment the MSQ route.
- Dawntrail MSQ current collection now performs a completion-aware catch-up when each zone becomes fully traversable, completing the required unlock quests and collecting remaining reachable currents without replaying completed zones.
- Dawntrail MSQ profiles can collect three additional Yak T'el aether currents at the story steps where they become safely reachable.
- Stalking quests can now follow authored hiding spots with automatic start confirmation, safe NPC spacing, combat recovery, hostile-mob avoidance, and automatic retry after a failed attempt.

Settings
- Compressed Panda Farmer's navigation and status rail so all primary destinations remain visible at practical window sizes without unnecessary scrolling.
- Unfinished workflows now provide an explicit Continue Anyway action and remember the acknowledgement per destination while the settings view remains open.

2.3.1 08/02/2026

Dungeon Queue
- Added an optional Leave duty early rule to each dungeon row, with objective progress, item possession, inventory quantity, and elapsed duty-time conditions.
- Early exits wait a randomized 5–15 seconds for treasure and combat handling, then wait for a safe player state before leaving.
- Intentional partial exits repeat normally without being counted as cleared duties, and unsupported queue types cannot start with an early-exit rule.
- Added an icon-led How it works guide with zero-based objective examples, item-ID guidance, duty-time safeguards, and a Garland Tools shortcut.
- The objective guide can now display the localized dungeon name and the same active objective rows shown by FFXIV, or watch those values for changes while inside a duty.
- Moved early-exit setup into Add a duty, added compact queue-row indicators, standardized control sizing, and prevented queue-type and condition labels from being truncated.
- Repeat queue is now enabled beside the Stop conditions heading; disabling it greys out the editor, and a new guide explains how repetition and stop rules interact.

Settings

Squadrons
- Squadron headers now use the matching Grand Company crest from the installed game data.
- Grand Company rank-up can recover an already formed Squadron from live mission, training, and barracks state after moving to a clean RebornBuddy installation, preventing unnecessary recruitment challenges.

2.3.0 08/01/2026

Dungeon Queue
- Added a saved duty, trial, and raid queue with per-duty repetitions, queue strategies, jobs, repeat-plan support, queue progress in the overlay, and the existing between-run options.
- Queue rows can be reordered by dragging or with arrow controls, duplicated, removed, and edited in place with readable queue-type choices.
- Each queue row offers an icon-led selector containing only unlocked jobs, and Panda Farmer equips that row's saved gearset before loading its duty.
- Added customer-configurable repeat stop conditions for tomestones, queue progress, session time, inventory space, gear condition, job level, and session deaths, with Any or All matching and safe completion of the current duty before stopping.
- Removed the older global stop-after-runs option because each queue row now owns its run count.
- Queue progress now advances only after duty completion is observed, so a Platypus death-recovery reload resumes the active duty profile instead of falsely counting a completed run.
- Existing single-duty selections migrate into a one-row queue so current dungeon-farming configurations remain available.

Settings
- Rebuilt the Panda Farmer settings shell with larger icon-led navigation and a separate Settings and License utility section, matching the Panda professional UI pattern.
- Modernized Dungeon Queue with Duty Finder category icons, category tabs, compact add-duty controls, a clearer run-summary card, polished drag feedback, and a stop-condition editor beneath the queue.
- Added in-game job icons beside class and job selectors throughout Panda Farmer while preserving readable names and unlocked-job filtering.
- Simplified profile wording so implementation and security details no longer appear in settings or status messages.

Squadrons
- Rank 2 Squadron progression now recognizes the localized New Missions tutorial, advances its explanation safely, and returns to normal mission handling without accidentally starting a Command Mission.

2.1.1 07/31/2026

Best Gear
- Equipped experience-bonus gear now remains equipped while its bonus is active for the current job level, including complete level-30 bonus outfits.
- Experience-bonus equipment outside its effective level range can still be replaced normally, so obsolete low-level gear does not block upgrades.

Dungeon Farming
- Added an optional Inn destination between dungeon runs, with a choice of supported inns shared by Dungeon Farming, Duty Leveling, and achievement profiles.
- Barracks travel now uses the current Grand Company's localized destination and is available only after the matching Squadron unlock quest is complete.
- Inn and barracks staging are mutually exclusive, and a failed staging trip safely continues to the selected dungeon.

Housing
- Added optional estate protection that detects scheduled auto-demolition, enters owned free company and private estates, verifies the timer was canceled, and returns to the interrupted activity.
- Shared-estate demolition warnings are reported without unnecessary travel because tenant entry cannot cancel the owner's timer.

Home
- Added a What's New feed that displays the changelog directly on the Panda Farmer home page.
- The bundled changelog appears immediately and remains available offline; when connected, Panda Farmer refreshes it with the latest version.
- Online changelog updates use a short timeout and retain the bundled copy when the service is unavailable.

Side Quests
- Sidequest coverage now combines refreshable automation with versioned game data bundled with Panda Farmer, keeping coverage available with the plugin.
- Added a visible coverage status that reports the bundled FFXIV version and warns when a game patch requires an update.

Overlays
- Active Panda Farmer overlays now show when background maintenance temporarily takes control to equip gear, assign companion skills, protect an estate, or process Squadron results.

- The Duty Leveling overlay remembers where it was placed between runs.

Auto Party

MSQ
- Improved Dawntrail profile generation so level-gated quest sections retain their intended quest-progress conditions.
- Dawntrail patch quests are now included only when the running game version supports their patch, preventing unavailable future quests from entering the generated profile.

Profile Loading

Best Gear
- Relic weapons are never discarded by replaced-gear handling.
