.DAT mining Lots of Gear....

[Destinye]

Quitting FF if this turns out to be correct.

I'd quit too if they add more PvP to this game, already too much elitism in it, don't need even more excuse for epeen swinging.

SE stays vague for a reason, people like to draw 'conclusions' on worth before even messing with things.

FUCK ALL THIS SHIT, MOVEMENT SPEED +8% ON MY GODAMN SAM!

I wish SE would get to posting the information for this "all new" system, whatever it is, so we know what the deal with these armor sets is.

Also, it's nice to see all these things, but it would be even nicer if you posted the locations of the DAT files so that people could view them in their own viewers.

Out of the 6 weapons, 5 follow the same original pattern (white and blue) and the 6th (scythe) seems more classical.
My bet is the 5 weapons, will match the 5 races concept, and will be Npc only stuff. Something like AA weapons in ROTZ.

I doubt this, based on the teaser image we got in the very first update notice, which shows someone in the Cobra Unit set with the dagger equipped. They may also be on a group of NPCs, but I doubt they will be NPC-only.

I guess it is likely that the gear sets could be NPC only, like the gear that the chocobo racers wear. We are definitely getting to use the weapons though, like Tsukino says, based on the teaser.

To be honest I am tired as all hell and I have to work in a few hours. If someone else doesn't do it later then I'll post the locations or throw up an updated altanaviewer list.

Massive amounts of sets added for each race in this pre-update somewhere close to 150 pieces of armor. You can view my mining results here:

Holy... when I read your post first time talking about dat mining I thought your sig was one of the incoming gear >-<

[Ropeydonkey]

I REALLY hope its not apgrade-route gear in the same way relic weps are upgraded :/

"Trade 900000000x Swap Ore and 800000000x Fool's Gold to upgrade to the next stage..." etc etc

Don't worry, it will be easier than Relics!

/famous last words.

[Ropeydonkey]

OR Dyna-style drops from Campaign Battles with -1, -2, -3 versions to upgrade.

I guess at least if it was this way it would get you some exp while you farm them :/

Added the 6 weapons..

4 of them appear to be part of the blue luminian-ish theme.
theres polearm, sword, dagger, staff

the other 2, are distinctly different.. 1 black and 1 white.. a scythe and another staff.
also paired with gear sets for a better visual.

[Byrthnoth]

They all look like Aern weapons. It'd be cool if Aerns would finally drop their weapons! Bawhawhaw I'd have had so many to NPC.

[Xanthe]

I was wondering why my item scraper didn't pick up anything new with this update, but it looks like only the model .DATs were made available this patch.

[Spira]

so far im mostly duplicating tummies work.. but im adding them anyway

[EternalSnow]

That scythe looks so fckin badass lol. WOw SE did really awesome with the designs imo :O

[Ropeydonkey]

clarence : wild dragon chase
nice renders^^ GJ

loving that Melee gear <3

Ill be all over it like a rash

[The Stig]

Someone called it for the armor to be pieces used for that field thing found in the DATs.

I'll now do my one.

These armor is for our NPC FELLOWS! (since my call out on the leg augments to be Fellow augments only failed)



kthxbye

[seiji]

will be new npc army gears!!

[Spira]

its strange how the hand gear eq for sets 13-24 (the magey ones) don't change at all, design wise..
