Seems SE just created the new adaberk. Should we call it pinge or orink?

run relic looks clearly salmon to me. There is no denying that (doesnt change the fact the color combination looks horrible)

I would say its Light salmon

[Orcai]

2 minutes in photoshop and I came up with this, and a comparison piece.

Spoiler: show

I could clean it up if i made an actual .dat, would probably change the gold to something else.

That's actually the color I would call it, too. Which I guess I just find kind of ironic since some are like, "Grr, red!" and then accept another shade of red.

[Treize Kordero]

RUN relic being white would have been much better than that pink color... I feel they made it pink so we could offend fashion-inclined monsters.

Awesome. Can't wait to see what they are cooking up.

[Treize Kordero]

I'm hoping for +1 ilvl 119 Red Armor from the new Skirmish and some really good stats on the 109 and 119 Relic armor. I'm hoping that will give us alot more choices for 119 armor to pick from.

I also hope the new WKR will have some nice weapons and gear too.

[Prothescar]

New Soa area. Underworld pls

[Anomie]

When they reforge the relics, I'm more than half hoping they wipe all the dynamis aug's... cause that'd just be hilarious. Not as funny as loosing the aug's from 113 > 119 skirmish, but worth a giggle.

[Spira]

i for one am very excited about new areas in Adoulin, because we've reached the limit of areas we know to be coming from SoA based on data mining.. apart from the Silver Knife. If the missions will involve traveling to Woh Gates or Kamihr then I'd wanna find out more about the weird ancient civilization ruins there.

Been wondering how they'll handle that actually. Could wipe them, but I doubt it since to "complete" the +2 piece currently and be able to store it, you need the aug. They could do like 99 RMEs that were part way on the 99-2 trial, and just roll it over. Or they could just make the reforging cost less if you have it augged, and roll the effect over into the piece as a normal effect. It's not quite as clear cut as AF reforging was, since we've got relic, relic +1, relic +2, relic +2 augged. With their recent comment regarding having to go back and get gear and work it up to use a new system added, I can't imagine +2 or +2 augged would be required to reforge, but I also don't see them making 4 different paths you could take depending on your progress with the piece.

110% agree with ya Spira. It's kinda nice to not really know what's coming atm. Maybe it's just me, but Adoulin has felt kinda dead lately. Sure, we got the Drifts and lion, but everything just felt so under-developed. No story line to it all (+Marjami and Yorcia), no real reason to stay over that way. It'll be nice to get back into the swing of things over there and hopefully get moving in a meaningful direction story wise.

Just read the link, and Google lists the new area as "Makyo Adoulin." Wiki claims Makyo to mean illusion, devil cave, ghost cave, etc. Dynamis Adoulin...? <.<;

[Tarage]

Dynamis Adoulin would be hilarious.

[arus2001]

Eh, a failed city from a prior expedition all ghost-ified 'n shit could work. Hades could even be the old mayor/leader/whatever.

ftfy

[Sechs]

Doubt they'll create another Dynamis zone or do anything major to Dynamis.
I think the new relic will just be obtained in a different way, and that's it.
Probably there will be multiple paths, at least two: 1) Unagumented AF2, 2) Augmented AF2.
The unaugmented one requiring more "resources" or whatever it will be.


What do you expect from these gear, stats wise? The coolest part about Reforget AF1 for me was the "enhanced" Job Specific bonus. I was still using basic AF1, so you can imagine how happy I was at the idea of getting better enhancements.
AF2+2 already got enhanced effects though, so I doubt they're gonna furtherly enhance them again. Same for the additional exclusive augments. I think that, aside maybe a couple of exceptions, the job specific bonuses are gonna stay the same as they are on the AF2+2, but these new pieces will have statsvomit on them of course.
Some pieces that could potentially be interesting, that I can think of:

Ninja:
Bit redundant with reforged AF1, but Body and Legs have DW too. One of them, both (or neither!) could potentially be better TP options than Reforged. Oh also Hands! Nomnomnom

Monk:
3hp/tic regen body? Maybe... Oh and Hands could be a really nice option for TP/WS. Doubt they'll furtherly increase the Chakra bonus multiplier.

Dancer:
Legs could be an awesome Saber Dance TP piece. Then uhm, head for Waltz potency? (what's the cap again?). Dunno about body, I still use Augmented one for Violent Flourish and Noo Foot Rise.

Samurai:
With stats vomit, body could become a pretty awesome overwhelm WS piece, and head a nice TP piece.

Summoner:
Well hands for sure! Hope they're gonna get at least +20 skill

Scholar
Body could become best +enha skill item for the slot, legs could become a pretty nice nuking piece (inventory+1 nomnom!).

Bard
Body an awesome piece for DDbrds, feet even better for precast, legs... I dunno. Maybe good for debuff?



Oh and btw, will they add AF2 accessories for GEO and RUN too? With lv75 stats I bet...

debunk.

"Adoulin no Makyo" is the japanese title for Seekers of Adoulin. It might allude to the overarching theme of the expansion.. but thats about it.
also, i read the link, in japanese. as far as SoA goes, it just says new areas added , new monsters added, missions added. i'm using plural form here, but japanese isn't indicative of singular or plural, just saying.

you can also look forward to new skirmish and relic armor upgrades.

Gotcha. Guess I got my hopes up and jumped the gun.

So what would the translation of SoA be for them? Illusions of Adoulin? All of the previous expansions had some meaning behind their title that had a connection to the content. RotZ, the Zilart...rose? lol. CoP, Promathia's chains were a part of us all. ToAU Mythics/Astral Candasense. WotG, Lilisette and our character were the wings... I never really picked up what Seekers would be, just assumed it was something lame like seeking out to colonize Ulbuka.

[Sechs]

Wings of the Goddess was another "poor" or very creative translation.
If I recall the japanese text was very different and, I think, french and german were closer translations? I seem to remember that but too much time has passed now.

WotG's story was all a bunch of rehashed, recycled stuff and a big mountain of retcons everywhere, I wouldn't worry too much about possible connections between the title and the so-called plot of WoTG

[Damane]

well i hope enhanced relic baypasses alot of still used nyzul isle pieces. namely body for mnk run etc and narex trews for mages. I really hope i can sport relic legs as an idle piece for refresh on each job amd replace the body for light melees by their Relic. Oh and also some relic refresh hands or feet to replace the serpent set wouldnt be bad either. Then add some new reli movement + legs for pld rdm drg etc to replace blood cuisses etc. There is alot of non ilvl gear they can still replace with relics if done right.
