Version Update 8/27/07

[Tengaar]

Claymore Grip + Subduer

[Godlywargod]

I want the double att +2% one myself.

[SeraphusRagnarok]

Which would suck because the Axe Strap (+3 STR) and the Mythril +1 with 2 STR +2 Acc would be real hot for SAM D:

Unless Tachi: Y/G/K are based on INT and do elemental damage now.

[divisortheory]

Honestly, the Raptor Strap+1 seems kind of interesting to be able to pair a MND boost with staves, i guess we'll have to see what else they release.

Except for that there's a good chance it's fake.

I'm going to take a wild guess that certain grips can only be used with certain types of weapons. Otherwise the names don't make any sense. I doubt you can use an Axe Strap with a Great Katana, although I'd like to be proven wrong.

[Khamsin]

I'm just waiting for the grips with +5 or more to whatever stats are on it. e.g. STR+5, Haste+5%, Delay-5%, MND+5, Double Attack+5%, Accuracy+5, Attack+5, and so forth. I'm not interested in this +1-3 stuff.

[SeraphusRagnarok]

It was Delay Redux-3%

nice job on the fake grips

Bolded are the ones Taj confirmed, italics are the one SE confirmed via original notes. Taj said that there were other grips but they all sucked so he didn't bother.

Didn't SE show a "Sword grip" attached to a scythe? Yeah, it's SE, but still.

Grips are still brand-new with this update, they probably wont bring those grips along for a while. These are probably just test-run grips to see how well they are received etc.

Well.. the Sword Strap said all jobs, so.. D: I dunno. Maybe some will be weapon-specific.

ALso, if they turned Tachi: Yuki/Gekko/Kasha into elemental WS's... I'd probably quit the game, rofl.

Edit: Osnap, Rocl to the rescue. Axe Grip is real

No he didn't the one they showed was the sword strap which, he included.


Incidentally, SE showed the sword strap equipped on a scythe.

[Khamsin]

Still no evidence of being able to synth any of these (i.e. no +1s). So perhaps they will all be buyable from NPCs?

That'd own. D:

[SeraphusRagnarok]

Or drop from rank 10 assault in the newley updated ??? boxes...

[Akiyama]

Or drop from rank 10 assault.

and that'd suck. -.-

[Khrno]

Sword Strap
Two-handed weapon delay -3%
LVL55

Claymore Grip
Critical hit rate +3%
LVL65

These 2 deserve to be parsed and compared against each other for merit party performance, even for zergs with Rune Chopper (or Relics).

Axe Grip
HP+20 STR+3
LVL65

This one is great for SA WS too, when you Sleep/Regain/Shikikoyo for TP.

[theo]

grip synth from khroma ore go?

I'm just hoping wherever it comes from isn't massively price-gouged. I want my grip asap but at the same time I don't want to pay out the ass for such small stat boosts <_<;
