Same with the new guisarme.

[Balb]

Yea the cobalt red set gonna look pretty tight.

Edit: Just saw Bladed Lantern shield. The shield with the two swords in the new company update NICE

[Kaiyoko]

Wait... It says lvl 51-60, does that mean they are raising the cap or just going to be a bitch to make those items?

[Kurokikaze]

Both. Cap won't be raised for a while though.

[Kaiyoko]

Both. Cap won't be raised for a while though.

Makes me wonder if the items will be levels higher then 50 w/ optimal level.

[Zisa]

Looking at all of these new (possibly rank 50) weapons, it appears that archers are still stuck with the crab bow, which only got it's crafting level increased

[miokomioko]

Huh?

Ifrit's Bow? Mythril Calvary Bow? Cobalt Calvary Bow?

[Zisa]

Sorry.. just meant the craftable bows (+3 possibly being as good or slightly better than what you may get from a dungeon, as is the case right now). Mythril is in the 31-40 list, and I don't see cobalt at all, so I guess that's a possibility.

[Kurokikaze]

Uldahn Longbow too.

Eh? Bladed Lantern Shield has been in the game.

Why is everyone so hurr durr about colors having stats? Wasting time imo.

probably everyone used to having gear "the color they wanted" and now its changed

[miokomioko]

It not only completely diverged from the expressed intent to have aesthetic color options for gears (not really "options" anymore). Also, it conflicts with what materia is there for.

Why does coloring a shirt purple add DEX and PIE to it and remove classes from being able to equip it? It's just stupid.

[Kurokikaze]

It doesn't restricts classes from wearing it... You're just in the mind set of pigeonholing stat bonuses. Think of it this way: The stats weren't there before so who gives a shit that they are there now after coloring an item. Wear your Neon Green armor with MND on your GLA and keep it fucking moving. I guess what I'm trying to say is... As long as the stats aren't negative - stfu.

Wasting time making devs focus/respond to that bullshit. Theres much more pressing issues than you having mismatched stats on your color of choice.

[miokomioko]

It doesn't restricts classes from wearing it..

Yes, it does.

Undyed pieces literally go from shit like "MRD GLA ARC PGL CRP ARM BSM MIN FSH" to "Disciples of War" when they are dyed. Look it up before you argue. :/

Example:

Woolen Sarouel
Suits: All Classes
Optimal Level: 40
Defense: 59
Evasion +11

Woolen Sarouel (Purple)
Requires: Disciples of War
Required Level: 40
Defense: 59
DEX+4 PIE+4 Evasion+11

It looks like that magical all-purpose purple paint (that I speared with my gig, lol) is somehow imbued not only with Dexterity and Piety-boosting properties, it also has the power to not let crafters, gatherers, mages, or anyone below Lv.40 wear the pants it is put on. Wat.

[Elcura]

It doesn't restricts classes from wearing it...

Actually it does. Undyed is typically all classes (not in all cases), while dyed restricts use to DoM, DoW, DoH and/or DoL. This tells you pretty much what each set is made for, and while all classes can wear a linen hat, only mages can wear dyed linen hats.

[Kurokikaze]

Point taken, I stand corrected then.

[Kaiyoko]

Yes, it does.

Don't forget the extra piece of Wool!

Class identity. People bitched when everybody looked the same, now people are bitching because of certain pieces standing out.

Won't people look the same now, while sporting the same colors? Instead of looking the same with different colors.

Am I missing your point?
