I'm more curious of what this means atm

Assault - Nyzul Isle Uncharted Area Survey Mysterious Item Campaign

During the campaign, adventurers will have a chance to acquire new mysterious items whenever defeating a notorious monster on each floor.

killing notorious monsters will drop a brown chest that contains a ??? +1 item which can be appraised into all sorts of items depending on the type of the unknown item. Floor 20/40/60/80/100 bosses will drop a ??? box +2 that can be appraised for ZNM triggers/Nyzul uncharted armor/alzaadal table/coin purses.

like a ??? sword +1 could turn into a Mimesis (lol....)

People hyping themselves up far too much with Omen, it's guaranteed they will be disappointed. Either the execution or the rewards will be screwed up on release and it's going to take a few updates to get it fixed.

It's too early to make any assumptions on the scale of the impending disappointment for content not even released yet. If SE stated that the current high-quality Abjuration armor is the creme of the crop for the foreseeable future, then it stands to reason the upcoming reforged armor upgrades will be situational at best and worthless at worst.

I think ^ means the rewards may be glitchy because they've never cared if content had mediocre rewards that I recall, or if the loot system was BS. As a matter of fact, they love drop-rates that keep you spamming the same event.

{Please look forward to it and back at it and only at this.}

In the end, free drop system among non-loothookers is best.

I'm happy for vagary, hope it's going to temporarily and slightly drive prices down for stuff like varar ring, stikini ring and staunch tathlum

Unless the mats come down a lot don't expect it.

With the announcement of further artifact reforging that is on the way with Omen in the December version update, it's natural to be curious whether or not the item level will be increased.
As mentioned during the Reddit AMA, the development team is not planning to increase the item level cap past 119. They feel that even at item level 119, the equipment currently available, as well as equipment coming in the future, has a wide variety of options and power, which can be used as stepping stones for increasingly difficult content levels.

We'll be bringing the gear vouchers back soon as a permanent reward option! We're hoping to add this in the version update to follow the December version update.

SE give us a crap december campaign so we can all stop playing FFXI and go play Hack and Slash XV.

In hindsight, I think "Campaigns" have been a dangerous and cheap instruments for them to offer some breath of life into the game without having to work hard on any real content.
