New Earring Latents?

[Local]

So theres a new set of level 60 earrings based off the new jobs:

Immortals Earring:
Latent Effect- Blue magic skill +5

Pirates Earring:
Latent Effect- Ranged attack +5

Buskers Earring:
Latent Effect- Guard skill +5

Does anyone know what triggers the latents on these new earrings? I think the one for blue magic will be the easiest one to test because it will be a visible diffrence when it triggers(and theres more 60+ BLUs then PUPs). Unfortunately i dont have a 60+ BLU so im unable to do any tests.

My guess? im thinking maybe they are triggered by having those jobs in a full party. Some people are saying its triggered by having the job as a support job, but i doubt this because its not the same level as the rest of the level 30 job-specific latents.

Discuss. :D

My best guess would be having those as a subjob. But you'd think they would be level 30. But who knows.

still just speculation but

Yes, the cor version has been confirmed to drop corsair's bullet pouch, and I think the pup version has dropped a newly added attatchment. The earrings may still be from there, however, and it makes the most sense.

it's very possible that they are activated by subjobs, but all the other earrings that have a similar effect (if the former post is true) are only level 30. so, it's also possible that it might have some other means to activate the latent.

the earrings come from 60 cap ISNMs.

The only reason I doubt this is because the Immortals one has + Blue Magic Skill as a latent. Now, every subjob earring and cape has some stat or trait tacked onto it, but none with a Magic Skill. My Guess is that they are more like the lv 70 earrings and that they are Hp activated.

The level 30 Wizard's earring has Elemental skill +5 with BLM sub.

Ok. But that is actually useful for another job like RDM. Something that also has that skill. No point in subbing Blue Mage to get more Blue Magic Skill when you have no use for it. Though, with the amasing latents SE has done recently, I wouldnt be surprized if it IS /blu to get +5 Blue Magic Skill.

Gear doesn't have to be useful for SE to add it, just look at Hydra's drops

go back to zam, it's blatantly obvious what the latent trigger is.

[zoobernut]

the other level 60 JSE earrings work off of having your HP below a certain level right? it would be logical that these earrings follow the same convention.

all the sub job dependent gear is level 30 from what i have seen.

The HP latents are 50 (Rings) and 70 (Earrings)

Unless I'm missing something (Dont believe I am) there are no other level 60 earrings with "Latent effect: x" on them.

I confirmed this, there are no level 60 JSE Earrings. Perhaps they operate off your main job being that of the earring?

[zoobernut]

my mistake i was thinking of the level 70 latent earrings. sorry.

If its so blatant then why dont you spell it out for us? Since obviously im not the only person who doesnt know what the latent is.
