+2s and rings. Well this shall be interesting. And feared one got changed twice!
At a quick glance, rings look so underwhelming, some might be worth for idle if paired up I guess...
I'm not sure there is a realistic number high enough to make some of those set bonuses good
Some of the pieces were already good enough to be usable. The stats on those pieces (and all the rest) are now higher. Set bonuses are just gravy. XD
Anyone done any actual number crunching or comparisons on the new stuff to see if any of the previously undesirable ones are now desirable? Looks like any stats that differ between NQ>+1 were raised further with +2.
Hizamaru? Chirich! 1 more acc, Same STP, I dont think the evasion or counter or def is much of a selling point.
Inyanga? Well the Refresh is a solid selling point, but I dont think its much of one, how often do WHM BRD SMN tap out their MP pool? As far as the macc: Stikini Ring
Jhakri? Shiva's. The FC could be a selling point...depending what the FC is.
Meghanada? Probably any other DD ring out there.
Sulevia? If you're looking for an acc/DT hybrid piece, its there, but you could probably get better mileage elsewhere.
Ambuscade upgrade item "Abhaljs metal". 5x for NQ>+1, 10x for +1>+2.
200hm each, limit 5
total hm, limit 5
1000gal each, limit 10
... Ugh, this is gonna take a very very long time to upgrade everything ><;;;
Didn't see the rings anywhere themselves, only a single voucher for total hallmarks.
you only get the rings from the voucher which are by and large fail unless the set bonus is completely ridiculous. Meghanada set still is pretty good though now better. Also this months ambuscade looks like it might be annoying
Would need to cross check some of the japanese text for reference. For instance is the Inyanga set Idle refresh, or does it make Refresh (spell) stronger if used for Midcast? Description hints at the second but I think it might be the first.
Notice how all of the Ambuscade pieces did get boosted ONLY in some stats, not all. For instance I think Haste didn't get touched on any piece (was hoping for at least a +1% haste on all Jhakri pieces)
Overall I'm happy I guess, can't wait to see what's gonna happen with the new sets as well.
If I'm not reading wrong it's max 2x upgraded pieces each month?
Gonna be hard to pick which to augment first I guess...
Yeah ok these upgraded sets arn't as bad as I thought they would be. Really pleased about the new Skadi set.
Typo found on Inyanga Crackows +2.. It's missing in the english client, but should have MAcc+42 according to JPwiki.
Should Megh Chausses +2 have Magic evasion?
The set bonus for Sulevia +2 gives +5 Subtle Blow for each piece beyond the first, including the ring.
That'd actually be kind of exciting if it was SB II
Meghanada set bonus is 3Regen/tick for a 2 set
Inyanga: +2 refresh for 3 pieces
