Test Server Findings

**Slycer** · 2012-03-12 10:04

I'm going through this JP dat mine... I think most of this is new stuff? Last couple items ("crystal" stuff) look pretty smokin' (outside the spoiler). I'm translating everything as we speak, here are all the heads -- can anyone check in the spoiler and confirm this is new stuff, at least some of it?

Spoiler: show

CRYSTAL (?) HEAD
DEF:47 STR+12 DEX+12 VIT+12 INT+12 MND+12 Attack+5%
LV99 WAR PLD DRK BST SAM DRG

CRYSTAL (?) HEAD 2
DEF:37 INT+15 MND+15 CHR+15 Magic Accuracy+10 Enhances "Fast Cast" effect Enmity-6
LV99 WHM BLM RDM BRD SMN SCH

My guess at recompense periapt is berserker's drink and some elixirs.
Berserker's drink is I think most powerful offensive temporary item that can be added to VW (beside Brew obviously) so it wouldnt be a surprise.

**Churchill** · 2012-03-12 10:29

I'd guess crafted/uncursed before I'd guess synergy, based on their recent clarification post

It is, those pieces with no stats come through translation as "accursed" gear, so that's gotta be it.

**arus2001** · 2012-03-12 10:37

Didn't SE mention they intended to cut down on the frequency of receiving Fanatic's/Fool's alongside adjusting mob AoE rape? Could kind of see that periapt being the offset requiring a white trigger to then receive them. Though, I could also see a brew chance if only because VW risks becoming a ghost town event if future content is more tolerable for players in both drop rates and not so proc reliant.

Bodies (several stand-outs in here):

Spoiler: show

**Ophannus** · 2012-03-12 10:38

Likely Temp Item candidates:

Swiftshot Drink/Berserker Drink
Megalixir
Various Status Ailment Screens(Would be AWESOME)
Upgrade to Stalwart/Champion/Ascetic Gambir
Fanatic/Fool Powder
Nyzul Drinks:Barbarian/Berserker/Assassin etc

Those voidwatch bodies have potential for new builds for certain classes...

**Churchill** · 2012-03-12 10:42

LEGION BODY rare
DEF:67 STR+15 DEX+15 Attack+15 Accuracy+15 Evasion-15 Double Attack+3%
LV97 WAR PLD DRK BST SAM NIN

ebody with no STP! Or rather, Hauby+3

I see a good Coronarch body and a good WF body if STP not needed from Loki's, what am I missing.

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-03-12 10:45

Maybe the best Exenterator body for Dancer as well:

VOIDWATCH BODY (6) rare/ex
DEF:66 STR+13 DEX+13 AGI+13 Attack+17 Ranged Attack+17 Magic Attack Bonus+5 Haste+3%
LV99 MNK THF RNG NIN BLU COR PUP DNC

**Jem** · 2012-03-12 10:46

Mekira Rage?

"SET 1" BODY +1 rare/ex
DEF:41 DEF:79 HP+50 MP+50 STR+13 VIT+13 Attack+23 Damage Taken-8%
LV99 WAR PLD DRK BST DRG

For some jobs anyway

**Churchill** · 2012-03-12 10:47

I looked at it from SAM/RNG/MNK/WAR/DRK point of view and while some pieces offer nice stats, they are lacking in something vital like accuracy, STP, etc. Just wondering if my glance missed something, hopefully it did ;/

Not looked at sets yet but that 5% Haste body may free up slots elsewhere but I doubt it.

**Ophannus** · 2012-03-12 10:51

The melee body is good for WAR I think since it kind of resembles augmented Shadow Breastplate but with haste. The mage body might be good for melee solo RDM with the 5% haste or for utsusemi/haste/refresh/stun recasts or any long spell where you midcast in haste gear for a shorter recast time.

VOIDWATCH BODY (6) rare/ex
DEF:66 STR+13 DEX+13 AGI+13 Attack+17 Ranged Attack+17 Magic Attack Bonus+5 Haste+3%
LV99 MNK THF RNG NIN BLU COR PUP DNC

Probably is probably the best body for THF ever since it has awesome stats for Sneak Attack/Trick Attack/TPing/Evisceration/Exenterator and Aeolian Edge. It's like a Toci+1 but the +3 haste on it lets you use this along with AF3 head(won't need to bother with the set effect)

**Churchill** · 2012-03-12 10:53

VOIDWATCH BODY (27) rare/ex
DEF:68 HP+45 Attack+10 Triple Attack+2% Haste+5%
LV99 WAR PLD DRK BST SAM NIN DRG

WAR - Restraint down, use Ogier's Gloves to recover lost STP, Restraint up, use Goading Belt to recover lost STP, lose tons of accuracy vs Adaman/Shadow/AF3
DRK - STP really, maybe for Apoc, I don't have mine yet so I don't have a solid idea how I'd gear for AM
SAM - Lose STP and Hasso bonus from AF3, Seigan up maybe but you lose accuracy which is a fairly important stat for a body piece.

**Ophannus** · 2012-03-12 10:58

Well for the jobs that lose STP, consider that the floor 100 Nyzul head gives Haste+7 Store TP+6 and the legs give Haste+6 store tp+6 or something along those lines, which is a godsend since there are very few pieces which give both storetp and haste together.

**Jem** · 2012-03-12 11:05

Thing is, Phorcys x2 + Ace's Feet + Goading is already 21% which for Apoc is overkill. For Ragna it would let you use Ogier's for STP though but requires Phorcys. I already know Ragna is 6 hittable with Nyzul gear and no Ogier's thoug so not sure how much of an improvement it is.

**Ophannus** · 2012-03-12 11:08

Yeah I'm not so familiar with DRK STP/Haste situations, only DRG, so I'll just refrain and take your word for it :3

**Slycer** · 2012-03-12 11:09

I was gonna finish translating and post all at once, but it's going to take a while and I see a lot of people watching, so here are the hands. For some reason, the cursed set+1 hands weren't in the mine, but the NQ set is there. You can probably guess HQ set stats by looking at the jumps from NQ to HQ on head and body. I'll make a summary post with everything once I have it all translated also.

NEW HANDS ARMOR

VOIDWATCH HANDS (13) rare/ex
DEF:28 HP+30 STR+10 DEX+7 AGI+7 Attack+10 Accuracy+10
LV99 MNK THF BST RNG NIN BLU COR PUP DNC

Now those are some nice Smite hands, and assuming the +1 crafted ones are 4%haste, those would be Bregodusk+1 lol

**Ophannus** · 2012-03-12 11:14

Honestly none of these are that great. Maybe some potential in that BLU Skill+ stuff. I'm going to also go out on a limb and presume we can augment these with synergy(the cursed stuff) as SE mentioned they want to specialize synergy to be able to augment new gear too(they even mentioned AF2+2 for further augments as well as limbus stuff). So I can see them making new tatters for new-ish gear too.
