doesnt give any details, just says "get a EX item" (bloodshed plans, primacy plans, ritualistic plans, tutelary plans, and one more but its not popping up) then come back
and dont talk to Ghanraam...for some reason.

[Slycer]

Why would Ghanraam take your Ares Body anyway? I'm guessing when you get one of the new items (the level 45 ones) and you trade that he'll give more specific instructions? Not sure, really. That's how the new Limbus stuff is, though. If you just go trade old Nashira body, or something like that (as an example), they won't say anything. You need to trade one of the new materials and then he vaguely indicates what else you might need.

[Atticusu]

Betting the 45's drop from the nms, and the plans from zone boss

[Slycer]

and dont talk to Ghanraam...for some reason.

That's part of his lore, remember he really wanted your Salvage stuff and when you go to take stuff out he's like "you want that back? oh..."

Umbrage is the fifth plan, btw.

I'd say Skadi Head +1 for JCoro. Sigyn's Hands for Coro/Last Stand. Maybe Sigyn Feet for Coro. Maybe Skadi Body +1 for Coro too if in sweet spot.

Hmmm well let's try swapping those out shall we

Skadi head, sigyn hands sigyn feet Thamaus legs: DEX +20 AGI+37 STR+24 Ranged Attack+22 Ranged Accuracy+12 Marksmanship skill +6
Skadi head, sigyn hands +thaumus legs/feet : DEX +24 AGI +41 STR +19 Ranged Attack+36 Ranged Accuracy+12marksminship +6
Thaumus head/hands/legs/feet: DEX +27 AGI+ 50 STR+25 Ranged Attack+20



Thaumus still looks pretty strong unless there is some other legs/feet I should be plugging in when substituting?

[Pebe]

10 bucks says these plans are like cards and drop in a different zone than the 45 piece you need. And probably, if its anything like old salvage, doing a run to get a plan will lock out other 45s..... yay meaningless speculation /o/

[Slycer]

Looks like the plans are specific to armor sets not to armor slots, based on the descriptions. So I doubt they're zone-specific.

[Classikmage]

Blutkrallen: DMG+42 Delay+96 Accuracy+9 "Store TP"+6 Additional effect: Weakens defense

Either 105 Bonecraft, or 106, they appear between Dux Finger Gauntlets and Hexed Wristbands on the NPC list.

1 Iron Ingot, 1 Bloodwood Lumber, 1 Linen Thread, 1 Scintallant Ingot, and 3 Meebles Claws.

EDIT: thats the HQ version btw.

[Kincard]

Why didn't they specify what armor piece each one goes to, do they just want us to freaking guess? >_>

[dasva]

So plugging in the new Skadi/Sigyn into my most used thief sets (TP/Exen/SA-MS) against Dynamis DC, I've found the following to be useful:
TPing in Sigyn Head is better than AF3+2 (obviously comes down to the attack instead of acc),

Af3+2 has 1 more triple att too so not just att vs acc

[NynJa]

Thats not a bad synth to skill on, depending on how to get Meeble Claws.

[Julian]

Home... my mine will be up in <10min

[Chamaan]

Any good news on new alex drop rate?

[Classikmage]

Anyone found out where we get new Salvage upgrade info? I've been to Ghanraam and to the armor Magian Moogle both, and don't see anything.
