random crystal / kinetic unit data:
dark/light crystal stack of 12 = 960
wind crystal stack of 12 = 180
water crystal stack of 12 = 180
fire crystal stack of 12 = 180
ice crystal stack of 12 = 360

etc.. clusters the way to go. dark/light

Wild speculation but I would hazard a guess at the Gnat thing being the endboss. The staff has an NQ/HQ variant and the model has the Gnat at the top of it and it's not ra/ex. That would lead me to think it's craftable with something the Gnat drops.

Pure speculation though.

Not complete speculation. Sounds like something a bug would drop anyways

New staff recipe is:

1x ruby
2x jacaranda lumber
1x daimonic mandible

Fuck me.

[Spira]

seems about right.

Daimonic Mandible
The stench of death and decay constantly waft up from this from this mandible, formerly attached to an apian beast.

Apian = Of or relating to bees

thing doesn't look the least bit like a bee to me.. but its a bug for sure

edit: hes probably gonna be related to this guy

Name of the Staff is Derived from this. Melissus, (Bee-Man), things to note, he was a Daimones... Daimonic, Bees, Etc. Is this thing in the new Salvage zones? Sorry, cycling through the updates and i seez nothing.

Given the model, I think it obviously comes from the Meebles gnat-like boss they didn't add yet.

I am so pissed they didn't add the new Meebles now. I want that new Katana!

[Spira]

also this title is in the dats "Melisseus Domesticator"
so its the giant bee NM from meebles i guess.

as for the waypoint 4th quest. it seems like it just drops you in a random place and you're just supposed to collect the Fount for that area again.
I did butter because i was lazy and just wanted the clear.. and it put me in Tahrongi.

edit:
also, here are the cost breakdowns.

town - 30 units
outdoor areas - 100 units
dungeons - 300 units

edit2:

btw, if you're bored and don't know what to do with the trail cookies.. each of the Adoulin guys in the other towns like to eat a particular type of food ^_^

Rabao > Mhaura > Norg > Selbina

Ares' Armor Upgrades:

Lv. 99 WAR/PLD/DRK/DRG

Ares' +1
Set: Enhances "Double Attack" effect
Head: DEF:51 HP+4% MP+4% Accuracy+15 Attack+40 Haste+6%
Body: DEF:81 HP+5% MP+5% STR+16 VIT+16 Attack+6% Adds "Regen" effect Adds "Refresh" effect
Hands: DEF:35 HP+3% MP+3% STR+9 VIT+9 Accuracy+8 Attack+8 Haste+4%
Legs: DEF:53 HP+4% MP+4% STR+8 DEX+8 "Triple Attack"+2% Haste+6%
Feet: DEF:33 HP+3% MP+3% VIT+8 AGI+8 Accuracy+11 Attack+17

Ares' Cuirass +1 seem to be the new ideal Body for Upheaval while Mighty Strikes is down. Not sure whether or not it beats Osode with ideal augments while Mighty Strikes is up though. Ares' Flanchard +1 seem to be the new ideal Legs for Ukko's Fury when augmented Hecatomb Subligar +1 isn't being worn while Blood Rage and Potency are up, and when augmented Warrior's Cuisses +2 aren't being worn for Warrior's Charge.

Ker's legs are best Apoc aftermath legs now?

[Jem]

Situationally yes.

It is, the staff needs the daimonic mandible.

Edit: Beaten by...myself?

[Classikmage]

Hmm, home nation in Jueno for home point now?

Both have AH, Voidwatch, Ayssea, Aht Urghan access.

Jeuno has Waypoints, home nation has outpost warps.

Decisions.....

Anyone able to check the set bonuses for new salvage gear on test server?
Does it even work like that??
I would be interested to hear if new ares gives more than 1% per piece,

Don't think the test server will be updated until the next proper test server update. They don't usually update both at the same time.

I checked the test server with this in mind right after the update. No update on the test server.

[Byrthnoth]

I checked it again this morning and there was also nothing. I bet they take it down within the next few days.

[S N K]

Was a lil confused but the one in Riverne Site #B-01 is at (C-10) next to the broken Belfry.

Hey fuck you buddy. That makes me wonder if it's possible to force the pet to go over the haste cap now.

you can hit 24% pet haste these days with spurrer/anwig + moepapa stone + augmented armada sollerets and Monster Trousers +2 during Familiar.

assuming pets cap their haste at 26 like anything else, and assuming that Familiar haste counts as gear, you can either get capped haste, or 17+10.

either way its pretty awesome, as the skadi hands+1 will let beastmaster almost hit capped haste with their pet at max haste, allowing for a nice balance between the pet and the master.

[Makinshi]

For the 4th quest I chose tough as diamonds and it dropped me on top of tiamat, good thing he wasnt up. got 12 more cookies and 800 conquest points.

[Kincard]

don't Atma's count as Gear haste, and aren't there 3-4 of them you could wear to already test if pets do or do not break a Gear-Haste cap? I know there's quite a few Haste Atmas out there =x

Hmm, We should test this theory!
