All the NMs I encounted in Neo-NI were from outside, just as before. Their "new and exciting appraisals" are the same crap drops that you don't bother camping/killing them for outside NI. Except for Rain Hat maybe. It's novel <_<;

[Seph]

The new stuff is junk at least for my jobs, only 1 piece for ws the rest is lol
yeah i ain't gonna do stupid Nyzul Isle again where the heck is legion?

[Slycer]

"New mysterious items and corresponding appraised items will be added."

So I guess they meant in the future?

All of the old ??? items corresponded to pre-existing gear, so maybe this is the same way, just for a different set of gear? No idea, really, I can't really think of any normal NM gear that anyone would be interested in at this point in the game, but that won't stop SE from throwing old/useless stuff in there and calling it "new" since it wasn't in Nyzul 1.0.

[Bigsyke]

Aren't you jumping the gun just a little bit there? There's only the 3 (most likely) nyzul sets and some relics and those three sets have only been updated over like the last 10 minutes. Unless someone else has mined it already and posted it somewhere else without linking it.

If I recall correctly, items used for appraisals were non-gear/non-consumable items. So if there are none of these in the .dats I think it would be safe to assume they haven't added new ones.

[Kaisha]

I think the part I'm most anticipating (aka dreading) finding out is what the trials for upgrading the Nyzul armor will entail. I'm guessing we won't be able to pull this from a mine so we won't know until the servers go live, assuming the trials are all in the magians logs and not borked.

For some reason I'm expecting the trials to be along the lines of "Reach Floor 100 and kill NM for 1/15 chance of an item you and the others in your group need 50 of to trade in for trial", which'll grant some amazing salt since you start from Floor 1 every run.


So, are these +1-3 sets what used to be the +1-5 Nyzul gear on the test server dats?

[dannyl]

I doubt alex would be trial requirements..... .. i mean, can you imagine what that would do to the price.....
Reaching/Clearing floors or even specific NMs would also be my guess. Then again, stranger(stupid) things have happened.

It will all depend on the drop rate of alexandrites in Nyzul. If it is much better Mythics will be much easier to make in the long run. Of course, the price will go up in the beginning if they are used as upgrade items.

[Slycer]

With a bunch of stat tweaks yeah. The set bonuses were totally changed, and some of the other stats were moderately adjusted. What used to be +1->+4 of old Nyzul armor is now NQ->+3 of a new armor, and what used to be +5 has a separate set name.

Edit: Ya, what Church said. And I hope it's shiny.

What jobs do you have that all but one of them is completely useless?

Also, someone said that's all that's been added: the nyzul stuff and relics/etc. So I guess the post I questioned was right after all! Guess all that other loveliness will come out when legion does.

You may want to hold onto it for a fewtwelve months

[Bigsyke]

I was going to sell it when I saw the test server .dats, but there are plenty on the AH already and barely selling.

I don't even have Wildfire.

Did you sell your previous PDT body upon them releasing Mekira Mekiogai?
Wont stop you selling it, but don't come crying here when you sell it in a mad rush with everyone else for cheap before realising the new hat will be a bitch to get!

[Foldypaws]

M.acc nerf!

Oh geez _-_

15 MACC IS UNBARANCED!

(Not that I really care, and hey, confirmed that these were "new" )

[Byrthnoth]

There is allegedly a JP announcement that says they are lowering the drop rate of ADL pop items to prevent congestion.

[Darkmagi]

Seriously? Lowering the drop rate of pop items? Is SE fucking retarded or something?

[Taint]

....come on, its already not fun to low man.

[Darkmagi]

Also if that possible Impetus nerf happens, I think I'm done giving SE my money.
