New Items Galore! (12/13/2006)

To my knowledge they camp Kings, at least KB that i know of to get the Abjs and ask the shells in the area if they wanna join and lot on it. If i'm not mistaken aren't you from Midgard as well Ninjiz? I figured you'd notice the RMT are sometimes up in Ulli's Aery, but usually when another NM pop comes up, they vanish, at least when my LS goes up they're there, but when Behemoth timer came up, they vanished and appeared there. They've already shown that rare/ex means little to their profit margin, mainly just pain in the ass, and for that they charge even more, 3-5m for a stone? and like 30m for haidate I think? Can't remember, last saw them shouting in Jeuno 2-3wks ago, College Exams suck. Point is, Rare/Ex is just a mild deterrent, and a good reason for RMT to probably double the price. Maybe I'm wrong, and they don't offer Abjs, but AFAIK they do, and apparently at least Midgard LS' take the bait.

I dont really see the benefit of RMT camping kings to make gil, unless tehy just camp to get themselves leet gear.

Behemoth is a big hit with RMT, sometimes they try to take down KB and some RMT groups have been pretty successful *cues pic of RMT leader with Dring*....in the event that RMTs fight Fafnir/Nidhogg, they could easily sell abjurations for absurd amounts of gil (Ebody for 30M, Nhead for 8M, Ridill for 50M) and clean house, making every LS lose all taste for HNM camping just like RMTs did with Sky.

So dont you think it fit ? its obivous

Shocked they didn't make Chain Mail gear red yet, and add +HP to it for the low lvls.

[Ninjiz]

Well i suppose, the Hides sell decently, but they still make more money camping in sky lol.

Yes im on Midgard, and yea they live at Ulli

Though i dont get to really camp KB much, i think my shell has only tried camping it once in the past few months. Last time i was there i DID see that Galka ElitePedal with the BLM army. Though i never see them at any other HNM. Ive never seen GS, or potential ones, selling Agj, they might, idk, im not at camps every day ALL the time. But Yea i can see KB, but not the other HNMs. As far as haidate, maybe so, but someone would have to be a dummy to do that. Even if you broke down and just bought the stone for 2 mil...

Well thats only if LS' are dumb enough to get involved in buying the Abjs from those fools. But I guess someone is doing it

[Zetah]

Gilsellers killed Byakko with 2 people standing the otherday, was hoping PV would get it and friend would get haidate lol.

So, jobs with 5-piece, high level (70ish+?), single-job JSE sets...
DRG: Dragon

Wrong, dragon mail is only one piece, the dragon harness set is 5 pieces, but it's thf only.

The Lv 70 Dragon set, also used in making the cursed crimson gear. Kinda crappy, but it is a full set, not just the mail.

[Zalius]

is it just me or did i miss the galore part of this update

[Ligro]

not all 70+, disqualified.

[Lordender]

I bet SE thought they could say galore when they count each part of the new armor sets up to a total number.

Read my post.

I could care less if they released gear that looked like the lvl 1 bronze set and recolored it green.

All I want is armor with actual stats instead of the bullshit they've been pumping out.

Bitch about whats important, not about whats visually pleasing. You can always dat swap ugliness, stats you're stuck with.

Thats what happens when you release the top tiered gear in the first expansion. The rest of the expansions from that point forth are fucked.

They still have some breathing room, just in unconviental slots imo.

[Jahuran]

As another poster stated , the bigger issue with SE's implementation of new equipment is that its yet to be better then any gear dropped by RoZ kings.
If theres one thing Blizzard does right, its progression. Harder raids produce better gear which in turn are usefull for even more difficult raids.

If they wanted to be smart about it they would make the RoZ gear easier to obtain and add in better equipment for all the pimped out
RoZhnm shells to obtain.(of course make the fights harder.)

The way its set up now is that people can easily see the finish but are uncertain that they'll ever get there and progression toward the finish is not even a constant process.
You can go for days without even claiming the damn mob let alone get something worthwhile.
And once they get there there is no actual challenge beyond it to progress further or to obtain even better gear.

Lets hope these gear sets are added to the last assault desk for Nyzul Isle and have decent stats and that getting these things doesn't turn into a broken cockblocking bot fest RoZ kings currently are.

Hehe they wouldnt be so fucked if they released NEW top tier gear WITH the new expasions But instead they give us terrible gear, with boring stats, and terrible latents. I think th ebest piece of gear ive gotten from treasures, has been the Turban...

Thats only true if the game never progresses in difficulty from that point onwards.

I'd say that fights like Tiamat, Ouryu, Bahamut 2.0, etc, are all a grade above Fafnir, KB, or Kirin in difficulty, yet their rewards are a grade below 3 Kings.

You can either release gear with basically the same stats as Zilart if you don't want to make anyone overpowered while creating a sense of equal accomplishment between old content or new, or just release new gear that phases out the old.

Bahamut's Osode, +11 to all stats, +30 hp, +30 mp, +3% haste.

Game breaking? No. An improvement over an existing piece of armor? Yes.

You can create a sense of gear progression, even if its minimal at best, by simply adding 1 or 2 to the stats of Zilart gear, throwing it on Cerberus, Hydra, CoP Wyrms, Bahamut, etc, and the playerbase would be happy.

The problem is when you add less powerful gear to harder monsters and expect people to find the risk vs. reward being equal. I'm confident people would kill Hydra if it droped something like Hydra's Hauberk, rare/ex, +17 acc, +17 atk, +12 str, +12 dex.

Does it absolutely negate something like Adaman Hauberk, with +15 acc, +15 atk, +10 str, +10 dex? Hell no. Its simply a very slight improvement as a reward for defeating a more challenging HNM.

Its not a complicated form of gear progression. Baffles me that Square can't see it.

You give the endgame linkshells that have already progressed way past 3 Kings the chance to get slightly improved gear by focusing on the new HNMs that are rarely touched, while hopefully freeing up the old HNMs to newer linkshells trying to gear their members up.

They've only released the top tier gear in Zilart if the difficultly never exceeds that expansion. They've added more challenging HNMs, just not the gear to go with them.

The fact that the best gear from CoP comes from an mob no one can kill, or is a stupidly rare drop doesn't help either.

Besides Rajas/tamas of course.

Besides Rajas/tamas, novio/novia, sea torques, sea capes, swift belt, RSE sachets, ace's helm, brutal earring, musical earring, blessed gear, iquirra weskit, blau dolch, hedgehog bomb, forager's mantle, destroyers, senjurinko, dragon harness, toreador's ring, maneater, black cuisses, tatami shield, parade gorget and Choplix's Coif of course.
