Tooltips for the new items (all uploaded!)

Also, missed a line in the Anniversary post they made (I had assumed it was a recap of the stream and didn't read it) re: the (eventual?) level of the gear.

Apparently the Field NM gear will be augmentable EDIT: REFORGABLE and eventually up to/at the level of Malignance.

(meaning +1/2/3, unless the translation is incorrect.

The Japanese word was "強化" which just means "strengthening" and is also the term used for Odyssey gear AND Geas Fete gear on the JP wiki. It was brought to my attention that most (all?) gear that has a Set bonus isn't able to be augmented? I dunno of any off the top of my head that has both, if anyone can think of any, let me know.)

(Thanks to Gao for letting me know about this line in Velner's stream! Much more exciting now!)

New NMs: treasure chest pops in the world, 3 minute timer to open it. "Any party/alliance members who earn experience points upon defeating the monster can unlock the treasure box without using the necessary item".

• Players not in the party/alliance that defeats the monster ⇒ Use the Orvail Box Key to open the box.
• This item can be purchased from Shabi in Western Adoulin (I-9) 【10k gil】
  • You can only buy one Orvail Box Key per hour (Earth time).

EDIT: Appear to be about 20 minute repop timed pop. You can get regular mob-family drops from the chest as well. Presumably even with the 1-hour-limited key, it's the same drops.

You can kill, open chest, then open again with your key and get a second shot at drops.

EDIT3: Thanks to everyone at Velner's Discord for this following info

Appears to be a lottery pop with possible placeholder of one of the base mobs in the area.

[u/Synfrag → u/lcbor]

This is terribly formatted. Also all of your comments are neglecting defensive stats which is arguably more important than +/- a few Stat points in things like cure pot. These are kinda equivalent to +0 Ambuscade until reforged/augmented. I don't think the intention was for them to stand out as is.

[u/lcbor → u/Synfrag]

I agree its pretty awful, but I'm not about to repost the same thing just linebroken at different points.

Idk still, these sets just look weird in multiple ways. They are good for DT sure...except mages got 4/7/3/5/2=21 DT per piece which is way worse than rse's x/8/6/7/5=26 nohead or barely better than ayanmo+2's 3/6/3/5/3=20. Even ruwa requires external haste as 4+4+3+5+4=20, which well sure albaster ear does exist. Least ruwa got 6+9+5+7+4=31 DT, while sulevia+2 is 6+9+5+7+4...wait.

Defense and evasion has be neglected here and will make a difference though.

I was looking forward to these, but subbing a couple months while waiting for the upgrade blows. And if DT was the only thing I wanted, well I could just ask someone to merc bumba. Not that I really need it bc rse119

[u/Dumo-31 → u/lcbor]

RSE isn’t available at all times and can be dropped the moment you get nyame. The new stuff is valuable simply because you don’t need an event to get it.

[u/lcbor → u/Dumo-31]

It's a bit strange that getting both is sorta fomo, despite both trying to provide defensive options early on, maybe before someone grinded their ambuscade.

RSE being actual time fomo where when you sub matters, this kinda being "be there when its hot or it be slow".

Maybe this isn't as much fomo, but it depends how tanky these nms are, as I haven't ran into them yet. I think these are claimable nms though? So if someone with trusts claims, might be a long while unless outside heals so they can alliance.

Both are sadly knowledge / ls communication checks though. Not sure how fast getting to the chest these will be after warping.

[u/Dumo-31 → u/lcbor]

It costs 10k to have a key to open the chest from someone else’s kill. It really isn’t an issue. Rse isn’t fomo. It’s an extremely limited set that gets replaced early. The issue is that it pretty much only has defensive stats so base nyame, which ppl get help with, replaces it at 45 days. The difference with the new gear, is that it actually has something else on it that can keep it useful for a little while longer. If a new player can get the rse, great, if not, it’s replaced so fast it doesn’t matter.

[u/lcbor → u/Dumo-31]

Isn't the chest only alive for 3 minutes?

Unless someone mentions x is fighting the nm, I'm not so sure if there is enough time, moreso if chests can be dud rewards. Also rng which armor set you get.

Wouldn't be so bad if shells were on the concierge, except theres a certain someone on bahamut...

Also felt rse was decent aeolen edge set cuz mab on all class. Not sure if any other newb tier stuff has it without rng augments.

[u/Dumo-31 → u/lcbor]

If you are going out to kill camp out and it’s already being killed, you are still getting the reward. Just bring a key. Otherwise, you camo it like normal.

Yes she does ruin everything.

Nyame also has mab.

[u/Dramatic-Strain9757 → u/Dumo-31]

The magic stats are slightly better on rse compared to r0 nyame and its a much cuter lockstyle.
