DISCUSSION: 07/08/2013 Version Update, SAM wins mantle contest

[Seol]

There's TWO new kinds of each Ammo, bullet/bolt/arrow from a T4-5 and another set from Shark Delve clear. Not just one.

[Fwahm]

What the fuck?

Well isn't this a big "FUCK YOU" from SE to Rangers. lmao!

Did you read the patch notes? There's two tiers of ammo, just like with weapons. One at T4/5 NMs, and one with Dakuwaqa clear.

[Classikmage]

Not totally. I think they mentioned in the ammo thread, they require the KI that corresponded to the weapon you need.
Bullets = Gun KI (Mori Basalt Tier 4/5)
Arrows = Bow KI (Foret Tier 4/5)
Bolt = XBow KI (Foret Boss KI)

Synergy Tier:

Tulfaire Arrow: Woodworking/Bonecraft
Chapuli Arrowheads, Guatambu Lumber, Tulfaire Fletchings


Titanium Bolt: Woodworking/Smithing
Titanium Bolt Heads, Guatambu Lumber

Titanium Bullet: Alchemy/Smithing
Titanium Ingot, Firesand


4/5 NM Tier

Foret de Hennetiel

Adlivun Arrow
The key item semi-pure zaffre yggzi is required to purchase these items.

Morimar Basalt Fields

Adlivun Bullet / Adlivun Bolt
The key item semi-pure alizarin yggzi is required to purchase these items.

MegaBoss Tier

Foret de Hennetiel
Achiyalabopa Arrow / Achiyalabopa Bullet / Achiyalabopa Bolt

[Yeager]

Yeah I saw. I haven't seen stats yet on the ammo, though. But I think it's safe to assume the "OMGWTF" ammo will be the ones where you need Dakuwaqa clear.

[Tarage]

Where are you guys seeing the weapons? All I see on BG is armor.

EDIT: NVM just got posted.

[Capuchin]

only 4 new weapons?
and that hat is the sex for victory smite...

Thankfully it's also fantastic for Shijin Spiral, in case you don't want to use a subpar weapon.

[Treize Kordero]

WAR only><

My WAR screams for joy.. my BST and RUN are sad pandas...

They might as well call it the FU Matamata Cape. Hate those mobs.

[Toth]

Ugh the forefront weapons are crap.

[macross]

Maybe those are RUN onry weapons? Why else do they have crazy parry on them hehe.

Uh... wha?

[lolwut]

Between that axe and 1hnd updates, I'm so damn excited to dual wield on War again. May go rape some weapons just for old times sake.

[dasva]

Okay, any ideas on what that "Magic Damage" stat is? It doesn't seem to be MDT, or MAB... or maybe it is?

Well this isn't the first time they had a different term other than mab that increased magic damage... Veuglaire

[Morari]

Another question. Are item levels not showing up on the dats at all, or are they just part of the data structure that we can't see with current dat mining tools?

[Tarage]

Well, they posted a thing where the avatar will be adjusted to the item level of the item you are wearing in your ammo slot. So if you wear that, your avatar will be level 113.

I have absolutely no clue if that's much better than what we have or not.

[Byrthnoth]

That's an ammo that increases avatar level. It was in the notes and comes from Delve.

[Detzu]

Ok scythe also has DA +3%. Entropy 5/5!!
