Some of the more interesting things from a DoL perspective:

All Leves
Levequests yielding guild marks will be limited to city-states hosting the corresponding guild only. For example, Blacksmiths' Guild marks can only be earned in Limsa Lominsa, while Conjurers' Guild marks will be exclusive to Gridania. Guild marks earned when meeting class recommendations will be yielded at a higher rate.
Gil rewards for guildleves have been reduced.

Regional & Faction Leves
Skill points are now awarded upon levequest completion.
Additional points will be awarded for early completion of quest objectives.

Battle
Throw - 5 second recast timer implemented
Stone Throw - 5 second recast timer implemented

[dev1120] The fatigue system and surplus points have been abolished.
Any surplus points accumulated before the patch will be lost.

Items
[dev1092][dev1013] Several new items have been implemented.
Several of the newly added items will require players to meet certain rank requirements in order to equip.
This information is displayed in an item's help text.

[dev1012] Items with "optimal" ranks can still be equipped by anyone, though penalities may be incurred based on current class and rank.

[dev1022] A delay rating (the number of seconds between attacks) has been added to all main hand weapons.

[dev1095] The cost of NPC repairs has been reduced.

[dev1070] The following changes have been made to the repair system:
All repair materials have been replaced with a universal item called dark matter.
Dark matter comes in five grades, each of which can be used to repair equipment whose optimal rank falls within a certain range. As long as the range is correct, dark matter can be used to repair equipment of any class.

Grade 1 Dark Matter - Used to repair equipment for class ranks 1–10.
Grade 2 Dark Matter - Used to repair equipment for class ranks 11–20.
Grade 3 Dark Matter - Used to repair equipment for class ranks 21–30.
Grade 4 Dark Matter - Used to repair equipment for class ranks 31–40.
Grade 5 Dark Matter - Used to repair equipment for class ranks 41–50.

* Dark matter can be obtained from vendor NPCs, as guildleve rewards, and through gathering.

* Class requirements for repairs have not changed, and are still based on the lower of the following two values: the required level to craft an item and the required/recommended level to equip the item.
If all repair requirements are met, repairs will now have a success rate of 100%.

* The repair command will no longer be available to those who have not met an item's repair requirements.

[dev1096] Skill points earned from gathering has been increased.

[dev1097] An skill bonus based on the difference between class rank and the level of the item harvested has been implemented.

[dev1098] All schools of fish rated grade 6 or higher have been lowered to grade 1.

[dev1099] A record of all previously visited gathering points is now saved for each Disciple of the Land class.

Bug Fixes
The following issues have been addressed:
Players being able to fish in areas not suitable for fishing in certain dungeons in the Black Shroud.

I can't figure it out. I went and did a fishing leve today and I see nothing new on my map where I was. I saw a thread on the official forums about it. Hopefully a dev can shine some light on this.

If they had of made it just G5 then people would of just gone there to fish and got fast sp compared to the other DoL's still. I think this is the problem SE was faced with. Eventually the locations will be opened up again and legendaries will be added into them ^.^
