I'm going to also assume the Item pool will also change month to month.
Tbf I think the capes are gonna stay.
I think it's the armor that's gonna change.
This month we're getting that ares-like DT armor for heavyarmor jobs.
Next months maybe we'll get different sets inspired to the other Salvage sets? Usukane, Marduk, Skadi, Morrigan?

You can augment it.
What?! You can augment the armor set?
Wow... that's... unexpected.
Drooling at the thought of what could happen with the upcoming sets then.

My guess is that we'll have capes this month, then necks next month. Then earrings, then belts. Then we'll get to capes with cap at 2, rinse and repeat.

Also betting we'll cycle through new salvage gear sets.

That means that the curret tank/heavy armor DD equipment will only be there for a month....? Possibly.
I'm assuming it's dropped from there in the first place.

It's actually kind of cruel to some level, if that is truly how it's going to pan out.
(The tarutaru tells you it's monthly on his explanation)


Confirmed it. It does.


Agreed on the cruelty, but at the same time I highly suspect it will be cycled through, so we'll see the same stuff come around in about 6 months for those who missed the boat the first time around.

It's totally a cheap gimmick to keep people clearing the content, to hoard the points for when their stuff becomes avaliable.
It's really frustrating.

But i do hope they carry on with Salvage Models.
Need that full Marduk set!

Stops people hoarding points, forces people to play the content constantly. May only get 1~3 pieces per time it is up, but that means your get the remainder of the set in the next instance.

To be honest, until we see how easy/difficult it is to grind out the gear, we don't know if it will suck or be good!

Hold that thought. Someone may have trolled me or been mis-informed. Re-reading update notes state job specific equipment can be augmented. Having a trusted friend test first hand in a sec.

Pros and cons, but at least we won't have the consequences of people being bored because "nothing to do!" or the economic disaster that was Delve.

(Delve was awesomesauce! What I meant is: the amount of plasm you could get from full runs was very unbalanced, and the fact Delve2 used the same currency created several inflations in the economy)

So 3 months to fully augment a full set of gear + 1 cape

this is a good way to utilize limited resources and extend the life of content, but monthly/weekly caps on things suck.

Can get all 5 pcs in a month. Buying stuff from the "total" option doesn't waste points. As was previously stated, it's more of an achievement system.

Except the entire +1 set doesn't take hallmarks to acquire, so you'll get the augment pieces while clearing for the hallmark cap for the +1 set.

Beat Intense D with PUP BST BST BST GEO RDM.

It's just not worth doing without a Bard. Takes so much longer than spamming VD Regular does. You also have to go to a totally different zone to farm the pop for it, it's just ugh.

Are the accuracy requirements as steep as they are for Reisenjima T3 and above that?

Just wondering how viable a DD setup would be compared to ye olde SC+MB setup from mages.

I'd be amazed if that armor can be augmented. I really doubt it can due to it's Rare/EX tag. The price of the Tempus Fugult is already shooting into orbit at the moment so I guess the word is already out.

New teleport rings can be bought from each city's Curio Moogles, listed under "Scrolls". Used similarly as Warp Rings (8 sec cooldown use, 10min recast).

My macro book names cleared but they still contained my macros. Worth flicking through if you haven't

Thank you for the confirmation. I smell some sweet sweet solos.

I checked a different character, book 1 was fully reset. Hurts the most as that is the one I normally use. The others were fine at least. Well, at least it only took an hour to re-update macros and gearsets. Not like I can enter Ambuscade right now.

Tested the emote sync. They only work with models that the PC can have. The Automation trusts do not emote Sync.
(Aka NPCs like Arcelia wont Emote).

It seems to work with all emotes. Including Job emotes, but /hurray motion.


Also from the livestream



Trying to translate as i go along here.
But they talking about Siren..
