Announcing the Next Version Update! (02/27/2015)

[Draylo]

So you have to fight four NMs at the same time for that Unity fight?

[Sechs]

Anybody has a list to all the old NMs those new Unity NM correspond to?

Labyrinth of Onzozo
Voso
Ose ==> Assault Jerkin + a new drop created for Unity

Garlaige Citadel
Mephitas
Serket ==> two between Serket Ring, Serket Shield and Triple Dagger. Hope it's not the dagger because we've seen way too many on Unity NMs lately.

Ifrit's Cauldron
Coca
Vouivre ==> Gae Bolg + a new drop created for Unity

The Boyahda Tree
Ayapec
Aquarius ==> Fransisca + a new drop created for Unity

Kuftal's Tunnel
Specter Worm
Phantom Worm ==> Phantom Tathlum + a new drop created for Unity (hope it's gonna have mab as well!)

Den of Rancor
Azrael
Hakutaku ==> Optical Hat + a new drop created for Unity

Fei'Yin
Orientalis Shadow / Borealis Shadow /
Australis Shadow / Occidentalis Shadow
Eastern Shadow ==> Vali's Bow + new drop
Northern Shadow ==> Executioner + new drop
Southern Shadow ==> Master Shield + new drop
Western Shadow ==> Cross-Counters + new drop

Don't get how the nms in fey'yin work. If it's a single pop with all 4 of them, drops might work in a different way and give a single chest for each fight, dunno. Would be the first case where an "Unity pop" can give 4 different items.



Can't say I'm interested in any of those. Cross-Counters maybe?
Well Phantom Tathlum for sure, arguably Serket Ring and maybe Serket Shield if they put some mage stats on it

The problem with these very very old drops is that they refuse to update the job list, leaving PUP, BLU, COR, DNC, SCH, RUN, GEO out from the majority of them.

[Lyramion]

I think they mean that there will be just 1 Objective like: Feinjin - Shadows. Then you can pop all 4 NMs with that one active.

[Sechs]

With all these new items-currency used to upgrade items to the +1 version (and to craft SU1 items, soon SU2 ones) it kinda makes me wish we had a single item dropping from all NMs.
Like "Unity material", dunno, the same.
Or at least they could've used 2 or 3 types according to the tier.

Going this route they're gonna clog our inventories, the game's database and the game's AH with a plethora of items which aren't really necessary. It just sounds unefficient =/ The more Unity NMs they're gonna add, the worse it will get.

[Ophannus]

Hope Voivre drops a JSE body for DRG. Drk and SAM got a jse cloak/domaru, and domaru at 75 cap was crafted not dropped. Would be cool.

Or they'll use em for crafting like they did for Voidwalker drops.

I once had high hopes for unity equipment but i bet Occipital Hat will just be acc +12 with unity: acc+ 5~10. And it will have 0 defense, like Optical Hat. Assault jerkin? Probably moderate ilvl stats in the 20-23 range and attack+23 accuracy+5 and unity: attack5-10. Snore. Unity weapons have really be cool though for the most part so maybe the new gae bolg will be competitive with Oly, maybe sporting 280+ damage(gae bolg had extremely high base dmg when it first came out. Maybe unity:dmg+5-10 considering nq had no stats, just high ass damage. New cross counters and ebow should be interesting.

[dasva]

Ah yeah can't wait for that 50 mp ring <.<. Really hoping on the dagger though. Another really low delay dagger with stats yes please. Even better several jobs can wear it. But no dnc lol

[TummieGaruda]

I looked through the zones that we have left that could be used for unity and I looked at NM loot drops to see if there were any possible future unity addons based on non pop NM's I was able to come up with:

Quicksand Caves - Shaman Cloak or Dune Boots
Gustav Tunnel - Othinus Bow
Sea Serpent Grotto - Joyeuse
Bostaunieux Oubliette - Jelly Ring
Upper Delkfutt's Tower - Enkelados's Bracelets

There are other zones as well such as other beastmen strongholds, so if they end up doing SSG they will probably do the others.

[Trumpy]

I am excited for a ilvl 119 axe with ranged stats for my RNG. tired of the 109/115 ones.

[S N K]

Hope Voivre drops a JSE body for DRG. Drk and SAM got a jse cloak/domaru, and domaru at 75 cap was crafted not dropped. Would be cool.

You're thinking of the Roc NM in Western Altepa Desert. If there's going to be a DRG JSE body, it'll be from there.

[Hitou]

There's already an NM in west altepa, though. Carapace armor is hideous as crap anyway so I wouldn't want that thing remade. I think he's just hoping it will randomly drop JSE armor for drg on top of a drg only polearm.

[Ophannus]

Sam got a jae body hime domaru which id an ilvl version of crafted jse. I dont see why a random unity nm cant give a drg jse.

Id like to see ilvl war shinobi gi, barone corazza, juijitsu gi, dragon harness, unicorn harness

[dasva]

I find it interesting how they sorta skipped some dungeons that should go together. Like how they did garlaige but not CN or eldieme. Though I suppose CN might be because non of nms drop stuff that they can ilvl... but they could update Darsa's ring and name it Dasva's ring!!! For eldieme guess they had too many to chose from with the whole deadly sins weapons but then they could've done like they did with fei'yin. Or if they were doing rancor why not Temple of Uggalepih? Sozu Sarberry? ilvl hocho and shurikens yes please.

[Sechs]

Of all possible weapons, why would you want an ilevel hocho?

[dev1262] Mog Garden Adjustments

Monster Rearing will undergo the following adjustments.
A monster's mood will no longer degrade from "beaming with pure contentment" after collecting items or interacting with the monster.

The collective moods of all creatures will generate auras of light or darkness that affects them all.

Light
When the number of creatures beaming with pure contentment is greater than that succumbing to darkness, all creatures’ contentment and mood are increased.

Darkness
When the number of creatures succumbing to darkness is greater than that beaming with pure contentment, all monsters' contentment and mood are decreased.

The following information will be displayed when entering your Mog Garden.
The number of days left on assistants’ contracts.
The current affinity of the Mog Garden.

Mog garden gathering points will undergo the following adjustments.
It will be possible to scrap any unwanted flotsam directly without receiving it in cases where the player’s inventory is full or he is otherwise unable to recover it.

[Hitou]

Though I suppose CN might be because non of nms drop stuff that they can ilvl.

There's Tiphia Sting. An ilevel Demonic Tiphia would be pretty hilarious too. Would spam cures, and pollen for something like 30-50k hp.

I thought about that but I don't think there is a precedent for ilvl non shuriken ammo yet. But yeah that would be pretty nice to have an all jobs easy to get acc/att ammo. And Tiphia was certainly fun back in the day

Of all possible weapons, why would you want an ilevel hocho?

Because most of the nms in temple are force popped... plus having and ilvl +cooking skill kat would be hilarious. Imagine all the cooks qqing over it. Put cooking accuracy skill on it

For Unity or at all? They took ilvl off neck/belts/grips/ammo slots a while ago but there are some that were added such as Ginsen. Otherwise only bolts/bullets/arrows and pup/smn ammo have ilvls.

Er well unity but meant more stat ammo. Didn't realize Ginsen had an ilvl on it since the item page doesn't show it.
