**April 8th, 2009 Version Update - .Dat Mining Results**

[Imitarate]

No, Aksannyi, those are all individual pieces of armor, not NPCs.

[Aksannyi]

Not to derail too much, but was making a funny based on the pinkishness.

[Funkworkz]

honestly i think its over. everything has been found, and since theres no other race models for the armor the humes are wearing its only for cutscenes.

hell i could be totally wrong, which im hoping i am

EDIT: another reason i think this, is that all the other times the .dat format has been officially changed polutils flat out does not read the .dats, but this time they were easily readable which says its the same format

[Spira]

well theres a possibility that they added little equipment this patch cos they were focusing on the idea of players playing around with augments...

[Spira]

not to mention i did show 3 new armor sets, but they're not available on all races.. so they're not for us to use... probably cutscene or they just threw that in for fun

Probably not expecting people to blow through this expansion, or it's going to "create" the armors for us after augmenting it.

I think the pink armor set is a threatening warning from SE. If you don't keep yourself in line they are going to implement it into the game and give it good stats to make you wear it. Please don't do anything to anger them, Goliard is bad enough as is.

[Spira]

for allied nms probably..
the pop nature of the system is quite straight forward tho

edit:
having some fun guessing the NM type based on name..

heres what iim guessing..

Queenbug is ladybug
Feeorin - pixie
Cosmos Cocora - lycopodium
Zmag Ognjeni Vuk - gnole
Simorg - hippogrryph likely..
Amaranth - rafflesia
Procrustes - jotunn
Groot Slang- peiste
Brummbar - scorpion? name is a tank name, but i doubt its beetle cos beetles seem to assist queenbug...
Scythefang Liger - smilodon
Gummy Guillaume - no clue.. but im thinking Goobue
Iqi-Balam - lynx
Goldcap - funguar
Ellylldan & Khadem Quemquoma - both their names point to djinn / will-o-wisp origins.. so i dunno.. probably 1 is Djinn

[Gtype954]

so SE hypes up the alllied notes NMs and the fact that you can spend beastman seals on FOV NMs and give away your good equipment and this is all that was found in the files?
You will get gear like you never seen before!!!
Yea a lvl 1 shovel.... guess you weren't lying SE. Give me some shovel weaponskills and i'll be happy lol.

[Spira]

i think it could be where all the augment things come from... but nothing indicative of it from the dats...

[Shenrien]

I'd like to point out that Ingaevon is an NM for the quest Regaining Trust.

I'd like to note my chars name is Inga >.> and Ingaevon is probably gonna
be my alter-ego.. so watch out :D

oops wrong thread

Whatcha got against Goliard? I'll have you know that it looks damn hawt on Taru. >.<

I thought they said that the augmented gear would be from FoV NM's, once per day, the result of the gear part of the "BS/KS/Gil/Gear" options.

[miokomioko]

I was going to say most likely the format was changed, but then I realized they never even mentioned Beaucedine/Xarcabard [S] or new Campaign medals/body armor in the update notes.

I hate the meme, but this, for me, is a FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~ moment.

It's been said many times, the Campaign bodies will be introduced when the new Northlands [S] areas are introduced. It's going to be a pretty big deal with probably a very different campaign system involved. Also, I'm sure it will tie into WotG mission progression. It will probably also tie into a higher Campaign Rank. So yeah, nobody is going to miss it when they finally introduce it.

yea but it kinda begs the question..
what could they possibly add to the 45 different chests from the 15 different groups of NM if theres not going to be a broad range of stuff pertaining to augments to it.? theres.. virtually no new equipment in the dats for it...

[Zilong]

Materials, duh

[Max™]

True, dammit, that's a good point.

That really fucking sucks though, the FoV shit will be soloable/MAYBE a couple of people needed... having to fight/kill 6 fucking ladybug nms at once to get my refresh body... well, it sucks less than getting 12 Imp wootz, but did they mention anything even hinting towards it being related?

Yeah... and it was stated quite a while ago by a developer in an interview that the next (this) update was opening up the Northlands [S].
