April 2016 Version Update - Discussion & Findings

[Tarage]

If I'm understanding this correctly, it appears you may only be able to do two of these a day. There are 'daily' quests to get one of the two KIs.

[Kensagaku]

Unrelated to Ambuscade... the inventory prioritization is so nice. I loaded mine up in almost no time whatsoever.

[dasva]

I was really hasty to read it. It says party of up to six, derp. I read it as "party of six."

Thank god

[Sechs]

It'll be 1 augment total, I promise. There's no way they'd let us get 20 INT, 20 Macc, 10 MAB on a single mage cape (or 20STR/10WSD on a melee cape,) that would be fucking insane

My thinking as well.
Being able to pick THREE categories on the same cape (one aug per category) would be a tad too broken I'm afraid.
Not that I would complain but I don't see them doing that.

In a scenario where you can only pick one category/one augment, it's gonna be quite an excruciating choice! If the capes really are just EX then this means multiple capes (oh joy inventory +20! Just to immediately fill that new sexy Wardrobe2 lol)

[Tarage]

Doing Easy II as we speak. It's not horrible.

[dasva]

Six person minimum for Ambuscade, there goes my dreams of soloing all the things. :U

Wut? I read from one to six?

"Between one and six players may participate."

Where did you see 6 people minimum?
Also damn you soloers! Soloing should be forbidden in a MMO! ;P ;P ;P

I think you can mix and mash teh 3 different augment slot, but it will only let you trade up to max 20 items for all items combined, So you can have your own personal cape. so you can trade 6 of the 1. item, 6 of the 2. item and then 8 of the 3. item

Also you cant hoard points, it will reset your point counter every version update to 0... This looks like a FFXIV model i hate ._.

That would be cool maybe.
Would mean you could get all 3 stats but weaker potency, or a single augment slot with max potency.
Seems kinda... ok to me?

One important augment that's lacking from the possible list is "damage taken".
Greatly limits the utility of a couple of capes I would be very interested in to TP/Idle with.
Not that I'm complaining, just saying.

[Tarage]

So... not to burst the "multiple capes" bubble but... it appears the NPC is only offering a single cape per cape type. It won't give you more than one.

[Sechs]

Low Haste stat on them gives a use for Haste belts again, I guess?

Considering you get only 10% from the full set, that would require one hell of a haste belt!
Guess it gives more relevance to the fact you can aug +haste on capes as well, maybe.

[dasva]

All right for the content RoEs which hand out the volumes. TW mobs count as well do abyssea mobs.

After completing those more appears which require more kills but don't say daily so can probably do a bunch. Damn those orcs are really going to get it lol

[Sechs]

So if you already have one, it won't appear in the list of capes you can buy?

That's odd, why even make them EX only if they meant for players to have only one?
Now choices are gonna be REALLY hard for some capes...

[Gaztastic]

HQ Tempus Fugit gets you to 25%. Or ignore some of the less powerful pieces for higher haste alternatives and grab NQ/HQ Salifi or Sarissaporoi.

[dasva]

So you mean like Tempus Fugit +1

[IceSylph]

Didn't realize that the entry items were KIs and don't stack (like in currencies 1/2), did the daily RoE to get another #2, and didn't let me receive. Unable to receive in at a later date if you go and check the ROE. So, can only do 2x/day max I guess.

EDIT: Derp. I didn't even fully read the ROE things, it clearly states "You may only have one of these items at any given time." I'm just a retard.

[Kanriel]

There's a chance they drop inside, so one from NPC, then more content for more capes?

[Sechs]

Someone augment that shit and confirm if Damane's theory is right!
