Based on the names of the new storable items, its the Marduk set this month

[Yeager]

Puppetmaster
New attachments have been added.
Speedloader
A fire attachment that confers a skillchain bonus and encourages the automaton to focus on skillchains.
Speedloader II
A fire attachment that confers a skillchain bonus and encourages the automaton to focus on skillchains.

So, this isn't Pet: TP +X is it? This is bonus skillchain damage? Could be useful. We'll test it soon as the servers come back up.

Lol and I literally just finished making my last auto frame...

Huh where would you get that and what would tp+x be? I'd assume it does what it says but I guess SE could be trolling/mistranslating... wonder if it's focusing on skillchains is different than inhibitor... if not then it being fire wont matter cause it will be a strait swap if so bleh

[Yeager]

Ok, most of the Marduk set is crap..... except this on the +1 hands.

DEF:83 HP+35 MP+40 STR+3 DEX+23 VIT+25 AGI+6 INT+31 MND+44 CHR+29 Magic Accuracy+37 Evasion+19 Magic Evasion+71 "Magic Def. Bonus"+5 Haste+4% All magic skills +18 Magic damage taken -3%

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

[stamos]

3/5 of that set is good for whm

Body is 13% FC, and a decent Macc piece if you don't have better.
Head is a regen piece
Hands are amazing

[Mojo]

Why is that so amazing? I think it is somewhat interesting because it has immense amounts of magic evasion.

[stamos]

High int and mnd, 37 macc, and all skills +18. If nothing else, a really good enfeeb piece

[Byrthnoth]

As a bard, I appreciate that gear. Body, hands, and legs all have a place in my inventory.

[Ihina]

RDM isn't on this set, unfortunately.

On the other hand, BRD enfeebles get to tap twice at the +18 magic skill, having wind and singing skill, on top of the macc, so that's pretty huge.

[Trumpy]

version check is up!

[Silenka]

Guess it's a good time to be building a digging chocobo, like the one I happen to have started just this week. Though I doubt it makes any kind of gil nowadays.

I guess I will be spamming ambuscade this month since it's finally mage gear time.

Agreed. So far, the big winner of this update is BRD. PUP did get something but they need to be tested first.

Seems like the ultimate reward for the Adoulun quests might be that Light Crest. Hope you folks like you some furniture.

*Yes this is speculation but what else could it be? Double ring? lololo*

EDIT: Sadly I'm not seeing much use out of that armor set for SMN. Yeah +18 skill is nice, but you can already get +22 skill hands so...

If it is that box, it better give something like "Moghancement: Double EXP/CP" that gives you your own permanent Double XP/CP campaign.

Expect to see newbie smns running around with those feet.
Body is a alternative to WoC body for fast cast, i don't think there's better.

[Treize Kordero]

Damn... I didn't see Marduk coming. I was certain it would be Skadi or Morrigan ah well..

[Kanriel]

That is an absurd amount of magic evasion on that set. You can now idle with your own attunement up.

[Funkworkz]

No new reward item for new quest. Potential to be a second adoulin ring that most people want.

"quest" does not appear in-game in the quest log, so its one of those mini quests.
