Nothing new at all.

Rich Rewards Await!
By completing the myriad tasks entrusted them, adventurers will earn a reward in Grand Company Seals. Each organization issues its own unique type of seal (see below), which serves as a currency of sorts and can be used to redeem divers useful items.
- The Maelstrom: Storm Seals
- The Order of the Twin Adder: Serpent Seals
- The Immortal Flames: Flame Seals
* Grand Company Seals are honored only by the organization of issuance.

Redeemable Items
Items redeemable via Grand Company Seals can roughly be divided into the following three categories:

Regimentals: Company-exclusive gear
Materiel: Military provisions and medicinals
Surplus: Festival-exclusive items

The following is but a small sample of the exclusive gear on offer by each of the Grand Companies. Prove yourself worthy and climb the ranks of your organization, and you will become eligible for ever-more powerful equipment as well as military provisions granting unique effects.

Inspired by the techniques used to forge the rustproof blades of Near Eastern make, Naldiq & Vymelli's foremost blacksmiths have come together to produce a mighty steel bhuj that boasts an edge as durable as it is keen. Attached to the hilt is a single jade, a gemstone held in the Far East to possess restorative powers.

A jacket that emphasizes ease of movement, wrought from the coveted hide of the great buffalo to the satisfaction of both the Gods' Quiver and the Wood Wailers—the two pillars of the Order of the Twin Adder. Besides offering superior dexterity, the garment is elaborately pigmented so as to allow its wearer to melt away into the forest.

Large quantities of this enkindled shield have been commissioned by the Immortal Flames, that they might gain an upper hand in the conflict against the night-raiding Amalj'aa. The flame that burns furiously within is that of an alchemically birthed will-o'-the-wisp, a nigh-inexhaustible source of light.

I really like the art but I really don't see the point in putting so much work into listing a few recruit rank company rewards.

Half the reason this game is terrible is because the items all look the same and give terrible stat bonuses. Why even try for this crap? Dex +3? Attack +5? There's not even enough stuff out with which you can stack enough bonuses to even see a difference.

[Elcura]

When they change the way stats work, then perhaps +3 DEX will mean more than it does now.

[Blasta]

Its Friday so they have to post something.

Kinda feels like Conquest Point armor, Meh stats... Easy to obtain?

[Hyan]

Could have posted in the existing thread, I guess we can use this one too.

[Lucienne]

I could have! If I remembered there was one/cared to look.

[Egon]

To be honest, at least the stuff HAS stats. How much gear in early FFXI just had DEF?

[Lucavi]

What was that, 10 years ago? Come on, lets not use XI as some barometer, unless we're using the current version.

The part about the festival-exclusive items is new. Right now there's only Material and Regimental tabs in the shop. As it is, I can't imagine anyone wanting to spend any precious seals on some underwhelming firecrackers.

I hope swimsuits are like 5k or whatever the current max is... the manthra crying would sustain me for weeks.
