ToA awards seem really suck overall.

And they doubled up with a pair of rings again... Zilart was earring, CoP was ring, ToA another ring? Honestly I was hoping for some great melee/mage items in another accessory slot like neck or something. Or hey maybe even some great grips, which would've been 10x better.

Well, there's nothing yet saying the ToAU epic endgame rewards will be rings. All we've seen so far are some assault ??? rings.

[Sonomaa]

My request for a raise to WHM club skill was ignored.

Izzy is very sad .

Don't feel too bad, they ignored my request for A+ Samurai archery ; ;

I think ranger is only A in archery and marksmanship, if you got A+, Id kill you.

[Ryko]

The problem isn't so much the slot, I honestly couldn't really care less about where the piece goes, I'm more concerned about what it offers. It's like SE realizes their population sleepwalked right through these sad excuses for missions and is rewarding us accordingly instead of making it a bitch and a half to complete and giving us something worth a damn. I'm gonna end up getting the ranged ring just because I'll never use the melee one even though I literally never use ranger ever (if I need to I just log into the yoichi account).

[Mertron]

Titles:
Preventer of Ragnarok
Champion of Aht Urhgan

giddyup

Edit: so the assault missions are Cerb, Khim, Hydra, Vamp, and that other thing from einharjar. Wonder if they can be three-manned >.>

why?
tbh,rings is one of the only possible things

it shouldnt be somethin for the main slots(head/body/legs/feet) since theres tons of stuff as abj,sets etc etc alrdy,
for neck theres sea torques and gorgets(for melee at least,which means it wouldnt be good balanced since chances are that the melee ones look useless)

one other option might be belts,capes or ranged slot items but i can just go with another ring

I tell you like I tell my friend--- we don't need anymore stupid freaking rings. Alot of other slots could benefit from an epic R/E item reward.... esp backpieces.

[RKenshin]

New Earring/Ring setup:

Brutal | Suppa
Ulthalam | Rajas

Rajas is on the left!

And honestly I'd still use a Sniper+1 over Ulthalam and I think a good deal of other people would as well (that have the option available). I'm not really lacking in attack short of hitting the theorized range of the attack cap for exp mobs (this is eating meat), but I am always working to hit the accuracy cap consistantly. So really I'd take the acc over a just about equal amount of attack anyday.

And fuck assault latent effects. The day I make a set of 'uber' latent effect in assault gear for any job is the day I either quit the game or hold some SE devs hostage until we're given a lot more inventory space.

[Tomino]

- Players who have completed every Assault mission (i.e. the missions appear on the “Complete” list) will be rewarded with an extra Imperial Army I.D. tag to be held in reserve for them at the Commissions Agency.

is it me or this means Assaults are done for sure?

also /hurray for like 8 more missions, tho many seems CS

If these are the salvage boss titles, these are fucking terrible.

I probably won't bother trying for any of them, but if they happen to appraise out that way, I wouldn't mind them. More r/ex material to clog my inventory, though. I'd probably only do the assaults they come from once for the win and not bother with ??? ring farming.

The top 3 are more than likely Chococo Circuit Titles.

[Sagacious Sundi]

Najelith (correction: Mihli) quest is next, it seems.

They gave Megomak a title; wonder if there will ever be a fight against him. (Whether it is Besieged, quest, or whatever.)

P.S. The "Owner" titles are probably Pankration titles.
EDIT: Or choco
Also, whoever guessed like me that all 5 Assaults will be against vampyr/hydra/cerb/khim/dvergr, you're awesome because that means I'm awesome, too.

Oh wait i missed these:

Comet Charioteer
Moon Charioteer

Strange that the titles don't seem to have much relation to the name of the chariot. Wonder what the other 2 are though.

Wut? I seem to remember being a galeserpent guardian already.

[Beckwin]

Charioteer titles are obviously for chariots; just looks like a couple haven't been mined yet.

[Sagacious Sundi]

Er, meant Mihli.

Oh, and cue crazy summoners trying to make a tie with the chariot titles to what abilities Alexander will have.

[Rocl]

The Price is Right made me lol

That's why I said it should be an accessory slot, but I do think the slot matters. Some slots have really good alternatives that just about can't be replaced without introducing an insanely good item (see: melee waist pieces like speed belt/lolninurta's sash), and some slots have measily alternatives that could be easily replaced (see: melee/mage ammo slot).

There must be something else you're doing, because it doesnt work for me. I even renamed my ROM4 folder, and no go.
