Imperial Ring, and assault item discussion. OP Void

[Trinsian]

Did a .dat comparison on armor from the last patch to this one (I like to see if SE slipped any changes/nerfs in under the radar), and found that a LOT (perhaps all?) of armor pieces with element: lightning or element: wind resists were changed to read element: thunder or element: air respectively.

Any thoughts on whether this will be a functional change (perhaps those resists were not working at all previously?), or if it's just a code cleanup for consistencies sake by SE?



Edit: (Or maybe newer version of dat reader? Don't remember upgrading since the last patch, but my memory could just suck)

You must have gotten a newer version of POLUtils; the format there is changed occasionally.

The only change to items with this update was the announced name change, making the duplicate "Imperial Ring" to now be called Trooper's Ring.

The Imperial Ring didn't appear to have changed though... still the same name.

Pretty sure there were 2 Khamsin. The assault one and the IS one.

Yes, although I had never seen the original "Imperial Ring" obtained by ???ring in assault. Now Mysterytour has "greyed" it out on the website too. So who knows.

[Koyangi]

So what is "Imperial Ring's" stats?

After many hours searching, I found it: Imperial Ring

4% haste to in assault? That's great. Too bad 3/4 of them doesnt require fighting, and last 1/4 is so easy anyway.

That ring, without latent, coulda been a bomb drop off of Hydra.

Just make it work in all expansion area or in every BC Assault item are such a waste

The one new BC we have had to do for missions is actually in an Assault. Maybe they will do that for the rest. (Not holding my breath.)

We found Storm Crackows (Lv.50 All Jobs, Assault: Movement Speed +12%) from a ??? Footwear from an assault last night. That, without latent, would have been a good hydra drop, too.

[Kaylia]

The ship is the 6th assault? I always thought people discovered with tele hack the new assault entrance.

Well, 12% speed in assault isnt bad I guess. It's 34893 times more useful than 4% haste or any other DD bonus.


Storm loop or w/e earring I got a while ago werent bad either. 5 base attack at lv 50 make is awesome for level cap and the best DD earring for 13 level. +10 atk in assault itself is pointless tho.

It's not really an assault, as there is no NPC for it in the Commissions Agency, but the Ashu Talif acts like an Assault by giving teleport image and "The order has been given to invade the Ashu Talif!" message... and it's a seperate zone too. the 6th assault NPC in the commissions agency is probably for Nyzul Isle, that's what you are thinking of.

I thought it was awesome how the BC was instanced so that multiple groups could go at the same time instead of everyone waiting for people to finish, and then spamming the entrance ftw. Add in a free warp to Nashmau and ToAU BCs = win!

Only part that sucked is you're thrust right into the fight and buffs are erased D:

*remember the horror of Sea pot BC*. There was like 40ppl, and everyone was taking 30minutes cause we sucked trying to figure a strats. It was fun to see other people battle tho

Other ToA BC arent instanced it seem. We were locked out of puk BC cause too many group were inside a few time.

[Larkwynn]

They're instanced, but theres a maximum number of instances. They mentioned this when they first released assault

I missed that comment first time. Free warp isn't always a good thing. If you have 7 ppl and want to help someone, you have to walk back all the way.


Their coin thing you have to get back when you help is also stupid.

[BRP]

I'm hoping that end-game area are pretty much all Assaults, making the gear you get from this pretty useful because you will be there every few days.............








if SE doesn't fuck up the rewards, again.

I like this much better than say, ZM4 Tonberries where you'd have to run all the way around through the temple, back into rancor den, and light the torches just to do it again...

Or the promies (minus vzhal) where you'd have to walk another group all the way up just to repeat the BCs...

Its not like the coin NM is hard, and the walk to the BC is short and very easy to get though, so it's not that big of a deal.
