The following category has been removed from Authorization in the Free Company interface:

Fertilizing crops in the garden of your free company estate will no longer result in a message being posted in the Activity window of the Free Company interface. This change has been made to reduce the amount of gardening related messages displayed in this window.
Housing
Aetherial wheels have been added, which can convert stored energy into company actions.
Free companies can now charge aetherial wheels on estate grounds. These wheels accumulate aether over time, which can be used to acquire company actions without the use of company credits.
In order to charge aetherial wheels, free companies must first obtain an aetherial wheel stand, which can be purchased from housing merchants in any residential district.
The aetherial wheels themselves can be crafted using alchemy.
How to Use an Aetherial Wheel
1. Place an aetherial wheel stand in your free company estate.
2. Set your desired aetherial wheel on the aetherial wheel stand, and leave it to accumulate aether over a fixed period of time.
3. Once it is fully charged, the primed aetherial wheel may be removed from the stand.
4. Accessing the aetherial wheel stand again will give you the option to convert the primed aetherial wheel into company actions.
5. After converting the primed aetherial wheel, the corresponding actions will become available immediately.
Retainers can now be placed on estate grounds outside the hall.
An expansion of duties permit is required to place a retainer on your estate grounds outside the hall. These permits can be purchased from independent sutlers in any residential district.
One, two, or three retainers can be placed on small, medium, and large estates respectively.
Once a retainer is placed on estate grounds, items that they currently have listed for sale on the market can be purchased by anyone who speaks with them. The retainer's sales history (up to 20 entries) can also be viewed by other players.
Placing retainers on estate grounds does not impact your ability to summon them via summoning bells to deposit and withdraw items, or to assign retainer ventures.
The position of the targeting arrow that appears when the chocobo stable is selected has been moved to the sign post to improve visibility.
Selecting a culinarian furnishing will display a dialog prompt to confirm the parameter bonuses to be received.

The following categories have been added under Authorization in the Free Company interface.
Aetherial Wheel Use
Retainer Dispatchment
In accordance with this change, the layouts of the Rank and Authorization windows have been adjusted.
The following category has been removed from Authorization in the Free Company interface:
Guestbook management
Fertilizing crops in the garden of your free company estate will no longer result in a message being posted in the Activity window of the Free Company interface. This change has been made to reduce the amount of gardening related messages displayed in this window.
Housing
Aetherial wheels have been added, which can convert stored energy into company actions.
Free companies can now charge aetherial wheels on estate grounds. These wheels accumulate aether over time, which can be used to acquire company actions without the use of company credits.
In order to charge aetherial wheels, free companies must first obtain an aetherial wheel stand, which can be purchased from housing merchants in any residential district.
The aetherial wheels themselves can be crafted using alchemy.
How to Use an Aetherial Wheel
1. Place an aetherial wheel stand in your free company estate.
2. Set your desired aetherial wheel on the aetherial wheel stand, and leave it to accumulate aether over a fixed period of time.
3. Once it is fully charged, the primed aetherial wheel may be removed from the stand.
4. Accessing the aetherial wheel stand again will give you the option to convert the primed aetherial wheel into company actions.
5. After converting the primed aetherial wheel, the corresponding actions will become available immediately.
Retainers can now be placed on estate grounds outside the hall.
An expansion of duties permit is required to place a retainer on your estate grounds outside the hall. These permits can be purchased from independent sutlers in any residential district.
One, two, or three retainers can be placed on small, medium, and large estates respectively.
Once a retainer is placed on estate grounds, items that they currently have listed for sale on the market can be purchased by anyone who speaks with them. The retainer's sales history (up to 20 entries) can also be viewed by other players.
Placing retainers on estate grounds does not impact your ability to summon them via summoning bells to deposit and withdraw items, or to assign retainer ventures.
The position of the targeting arrow that appears when the chocobo stable is selected has been moved to the sign post to improve visibility.
Selecting a culinarian furnishing will display a dialog prompt to confirm the parameter bonuses to be received.
