    Any chance of checking the .dats for Leafallia to see if there's text for another CS or anything? Strange that this is seemingly so difficult. If it was a random chance of seeing the boss, I'd think someone would have reported seeing it by now.

    Then again, this is going to be a merc LSs wet dream once it's figured out.

    Please Mal take me take!!!

    I'm actually thinking that it might not be accessible yet... I wouldn't put it past them to have put all the armor and the zones in for now but leave the ability to make 2 slots till later. I mean you couldn't make body and hands af3 at first either... plus they might have rushed to get this update done and pushed it out before it was ready thanks to the press conference. So had enough time to put the dats in but not the full content. Like didn't forget to retake out the ardor buff?

    Except they were clear as day that they weren't able to put in the complete reforges for relic legs and body due to bugs or whatever it was. No such mention of that here. Doesn't make it impossible, but I think it's something they would have mentioned.

    We shall see. Though this whole system for reforging on a whole is way different so feels better to compare it with original af3 than other reforges. Uggg I was expecting to have to shell out some cash but to get clears on new content too for my mules... sorry brd mule you staying in af3+2

    Furthermore, the bosses talk some shit to you while fighting (in the Outer Ra'Kaznar dialogue file). Also, there are 7 KIs that look associated with this event:
    Spoiler: show
    fabricated pearl of impurity - Undead chamber
    fabricated pearl of miasma - Amorph chamber?
    fabricated pearl of biting winds - Elemental Chamber
    fabricated pearl of ashen wings - Obtained somehow?
    fabricated pearl of the false king - Obtained somehow?
    prototype pearl of ashen wings - Reported to be obtained by turning in the 3 chamber KIs and upgrading to iLevel 130?
    prototype pearl of the false king - May be obtained by turning in 3 KIs and upgrading to iLevel 132?


    Nice! A totally useless dagger with a unique stat that Dancer can easily cap on it! Well now I'm fully placated.

    Well, they were bitching because DNC was being left off of daggers that came from Unity. That's why I said it....

    Is it completely useless? Not really up on dnc dding but wouldn't this be a decent offhand?

    Completed the three zones on 130 with the same leader entering who had already cleared. Around 2 minutes into each run we got the "Your ≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 05≻3≺BAD CHAR: 8280≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻ takes on an umbral hue.≺Prompt≻" message. The message did not appear anywhere else during the run, nor did the color change from "umbral hue."

    Based on some of the NPC dialogue, couple of our members were wondering if you have to kill a set number of mobs/run clears/bosses/etc. to upgrade to the next color. I imagine the umbral path is for legs, and once you complete that, you can start upgrading on the crimson set of upgrades to gain access to the body zone.

    Legitimate vagary spoilers, beware:
    Spoiler: show
    CS1 - Starting Vagary
    CS2 - Getting Vagary Pearl
    CS3 - Trading Befouled Water for a Vagary Pearl
    CS4 - Go fight a lot!
    CS5 - Meet Skokkr Undrborn. Obtain Prototype Pearl of the Ashen Wings.
    CS6 - Return the the prototype pearl of the ashen wings dialogue.
    CS7 - Another CS where the floaty heads give you a prototype sigil pearl
    CS8 - Very short CS where I get a menu where I can't select anything
    CS9 - Looks like it's after you beat the first of the two hidden bosses, trading the fabricated pearl of ashen wings for a prototype pearl of the false king.
    CS10 - Return the prototype pearl of the false king dialogue - Reveals that you need to turn in a fabricated pearl of ashen wings in order to obtain the prototype pearl of the false king.
    CS11 - Conclusion CS after you beat the mob from the prototype pearl of the false king

    So it looks like Vagary's layout is this:
    Clear 3 wings -> Get KI that can lead to random encounter with Boss #4
    Keep clearing wings -> eventually you fight Boss #4. Beating it nets you the Fabricated pearl of ashen wings KI. (important)
    Trade Fabricated Pearl of Ashen Wings for Prototype pearl of False King, which can lead to a random encounter with Boss #5
    Beating Boss #5 earns you a fabricated pearl of the false king, which has no apparent value beyond getting you the final CS with Skokkr. Then you are reset.


    The real question this leaves is whether the Prototype Pearls have to be held by the entering player in order to take effect and whether you can keep getting entry items while you have a fabricated pearl of the Ashen Wings. If you can't get entry items with them, then you'll potentially be forced to upgrade and waste Tier 4 KIs depending how lucky you get.

    Cleared ilevel130 around 7 times today, getting the umbral hue message at the start each time, but nothing seems to happen, regardless of how fast/many monsters we clear. I feel like if it was truely random and even a 10% chance to see the next NM pop, at least one of us would have seen it by now, but I suppose someone could be hiding it or not as many people are clearing 130 with KI as I think.

    I just hope the 4th and 5th NM aren't exclusive to only 1 chamber.

    Has anyone tried to let the KI holder get killshots on NM and boss?


    Someone said he got the first hue message after killshotting 5 fodder mobs.

    Doesnt come even remotely close to a good ipetam, and dnc should have no problem capping waltz potency.

    I got Vagary CS after Teodor BC and NOT immediately after Leafallia access.

    Yeah, I got the message twice in two different zones:

    http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...psu4kgvzpn.png
    http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...psmcqzcgwq.png

    Did you do all 3 zones Ejin? Pretty obvious which zones I got the message from in the SS... I shoulda tried resting or something in case it's like VNMs hah

    What are the names of the KI from first 3?

    I did CL 130 Brash Gate without having finished CL 128 (a tag along deal) and got Fabricated Pearl of Miasma which I think is the one you get from CL 128?

    Not Mathed it out, but non mythic DNC didn't have a lot of options. When accuracy matters (hence you can't use OAT Atoyac) you don't really have a lot of options other than the obvious Izhiikoh. Sabebus maybe, but lol at that.
    Recently Dusk stones made Ipetam an interesting one, but it requires gil & luck.
    This dagger can at least become a decent alternative option to pair with Izhiikoh when you need acc, I guess.

    It's still nothing stellar.

    Fabricated Pearl of Miasma is the KI from beating the Amorph Chamber (Brash Gate). Did you have a Fabricated Sigil Pearl (the item from trading in Befouled Water) when you entered the chamber? Perhaps we're interpreting this wrong and people can be randomly upgraded regardless whether or not they enter but the entering player has a 100% chance of getting upgrade for the first 3 chambers. Thus the best deal would be to farm Ashen Wings for your entire alliance with level 128 runs and wait for someone's to level up instead of banking on repeated runs for one guy.
