New Gear Potential? Your Thoughts.

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/addon/

From what I can read here there are atleast three new body pieces in this scenario that's being released.

Nuevo Coselete.

From looking at this piece I'd imagine it for tanks. Unique looking armor nothing I could compare it to honestly.

Royal Redingote

This looks like the obvious mage piece.
It looks like a re-skinned Tidal Talisman robe.

Mirke Wardecors

Seems like the off tank nin thf cor dnc piece.
Reminds me of denali body and a raven armor mix.

What's interesting is this next point. You can actually merit this gear.

I say merit for lack of a better term.

Per SE:

"Fashionable and formidable pieces of new equipment in their own right, these three new armors also boast a
never-before seen customizable element. Upon procuring one of these treasures players will be presented with a list of twenty additional effects, which may be chosen to supplement the armor's base attributes. With the ability to tailor each piece to your character's strengths, you can create for yourself the armor of your dreams"

So any speculation about the 20 effects you can choose from?

Me being a mage, I hope we can choose different elemental magic accuracies for spells such as silence/gravity. Some int/mind would be nice too.

Who knows maybe even magic skills will be on that list!

That would be neet to make a gear piece based on all the attributes you can put on it.

I hope there's stuff you can add together that can at least be decent enough to use for a job that you don't have the r/e gear for or for low lvl jobs too.

looks pretty sweet. we all know how irratating that lovely peice of gear is with an irrelevant stat that might serve *some* purpose, but nobodys aware what it is.. at least this way, you can get to see what everybody else's choice is, and learn about their play style and such.

Maybe each piece of gear will be blank; no stats.

Then you can add the 2 as you wish.

>.> I want the damn Mirke Wardecors. Other two are ... no.

Do want!

The gear has some base stats so I don't think it's blank. I wonder if there will be aspects that you couldn't improve through other gear/merits too much or perhaps new categories.

As long as DNC can take advantage of it in some way, I'm excited. ^^

It probably will be blank and you probably have to get those stats probably in the worst places ever or MMM?

Or maybe a long ridiculous quest to get the stats or to even add the stats

I want to know how it is that this will work. Will it be like Final Fantasy X where you cough up something and a stat goes up in an increment of like 5%? Or will it be simple like here's 20 points, apply them to the stats you want like the merit system where there are a number of things in a category but only so many points?

Nuevo Coselete looks a lot like a cross between Eisen/Kampf body (for the actual body plate) and a Haubergeon (the ring mail and shoulders). Might go on a long stretch and say the emblem is borrowed from the Nation Aketons.

Royal Redingote IS a reskin of the Tidal Talisman. In fact, this *may* be the original model skin that SE mentioned was too fancy for something that is an Olduum artifact and to be availible to so few people.

Mirke Wardecors looks much like a Kyodogi (sp?) reskinned to better match Raven/Denali.

I find it amusing that these are the only 3 referrences in equipment to Eastern San d'oria (during the San d'Orian Civil War ending 792 CE), where the only other direct reference (that I know of) to that place is in a WotG quest cutscene dealing with the Young Griffons.

only thing is you'll have a group that says lol if you don't do it our way or focus on the stats "we" say. i get so tired of hearing that from ppl ... i.e. all atk for every DD nvm your ws modifier may require dex or vit or maybe you have acc issues. it all sounds good and i can't wait to see what happens with it.

Quit QQ'ing b/c other people have already parsed out every gear combination and found whats better.

Well they did say "when" you obtain the gear so I'd imagine you choose which you want an then immediately put which two improvements you want in from a list of 20.

I'll admit this does sound like pretty epic win, if you can compile half way decent stats on these. SE just sold a ton of pre-sales with this alone.

Gonna go on sale in 6 days. I'm so sold.

all i'm saying is there's ppl that don't care about parse results they will stick with anything they want regardless gear like this will give ppl who think a chance to really push ahead of everyone else parse wise.

Let's see.

I wonder if the 20 upgrades are gonna be specific to each piece.

If so that's alot of crap to tinker with.
But knowing SE it'll likely be all the same for all 3 pieces.

Ok, I see now. 20 choices, pick 2. All the links are blocked at work so I wasn't able to look into it myself. In that case I think each piece will have their respective base stats that will make them more appealing to certain jobs and then the 20 choices will be things like latent effects or tp store.

I wonder if you can go back and change it. There are alot of experiments I'd like to do.

Actually this is more like CoP rings I'd imagine.
Probably have to do their lil side quest and get it as a reward.

Someone post pics of the 3 bodies for those who have POL blocked at work.

Best I could do. Hopefully your work does not block file front.

Thanx for the many responses !!

Melee one looks decent although with 40% too much crazy big sash belt.

After reading the descriptions the 3rd one is sweep b/c of assassin !
