Skirmish Additions and Adjustments

im going to equip Oatixur on my feet~

New armor to be obtained
5 new sets of armor will be added. With the new enhancement items it will also be possible to add Arcane Glyptics to this equipment.

The quality of this armor is probably what the new tier of Skirmish will live or die by, so I'm happy to hear that there will be more than three sets of the stuff.

Light melee and Rangers/Corsairs might not have to share a set!? Support mages might get something besides huge amounts of INT and Magic Attack Bonus?! The possibilities are...not endless but a lot better than with just three sets, I guess.

Going by example...

3 sets = Heavy/Light/Mage
Heavy - WAR/PLD/DRK/BST/SAM/DRG
Light - MNK/THF/RNG/NIN/BLU/COR/PUP/DNC/RUN
Magic - WHM/BLM/RDM/BRD/SMN/BLU/PUP/SCH/GEO/RUN



5 sets = Heavy/LightRanged/Asian/White/Black
Heavy - WAR/DRK/PLD/DRG
LightRanged - THF/BST/RNG/COR/DNC/RUN
Asian - MNK/SAM/NIN/PUP
White - WHM/SMN/BRD
Black - BLM/RDM/BLU/SCH/GEO

The fact we are getting something I think will be similar to Morrigan's I hope we might get some actual meleeish gear for RDM again, maybe this time it will be TP gear to go with Morrigan's WS gear...

Heavy - WAR/PLD/DRK/BST/SAM/DRG
Light - MNK/THF/RNG/NIN/BLU/COR/PUP/DNC/RUN
Magic - WHM/BLM/RDM/BRD/SMN/BLU/PUP/SCH/GEO/RUN



5 sets = Heavy/LightRanged/Asian/White/Black
Heavy - WAR/DRK/PLD/DRG
LightRanged - THF/BST/RNG/COR/DNC/RUN
Asian - MNK/SAM/NIN/PUP
White - WHM/SMN/BRD
Black - BLM/RDM/BLU/SCH/GEO

These armor classifications are the same as the 5 Salvage gear sets.

Which was in fact my point, however so far as I know Salvage is the only event to have 5 sets rather than 3 that we have ever really had, as such, it seems to stand out that they will likely be the same way.

abjuration doesnt have 3sets with some jobs being able to equip different sets
- 6set lvl73from RoZ,
- 2 sets lvl75 AU,
- 6 sets 99 from VW/legion


shijin/limbus sets were weird job distribution

People say that the new skirmish will be irrelevant because of delve boss gear, however this isn't true. Delve boss gear only covers weapons and a few pieces of armor here or there. This armor will be basically on par with delve t2 NM armor and beat some delve T1 NM armor. Also the fact that these weapons from skirmish v2 are augmentable, will probably beat out some delve weapons. Even if it doesn't, it will bridge the gap between bayld gear and delve gear. So now instead of R/M/E/D DD it will be R/M/E/D/Skirmish v2 DD :P. This should go a long way in help people catch up to the delve level who missed out when every was spamming it regardless of gear.

One final thing: Since we are getting new zones and wildkeepers, does this also translate into a Delve v2 with lvl 125+ content? Needs more Delve mage gear.

5 sets = Heavy/LightRanged/Asian/White/Black
Heavy - WAR/DRK/PLD/DRG
LightRanged - THF/BST/RNG/COR/DNC/RUN
Asian - MNK/SAM/NIN/PUP
White - WHM/SMN/BRD
Black - BLM/RDM/BLU/SCH/GEO

Some jobs could be on multiple sets! Like SCH for instances, in your scheme SCH deserves both Black and White imho.

Hope BRD and WHM get some more DD options
I'd love some piece that would be retardedly broken for melee jobs but it's only equippable by WHM and/or BRD.

Ok, I give you the VW/Legion Abj set, your right on that part, the Corvine, Foreboding, Lenitive, Supernal, and Transitory sets were 5 sets of gear, and followed different rules. It is completely possible we will see something similar to their setup as well, with multiple jobs being on some sets(like RDM with F/L or MNK on S/T) but it would be a bit weird for an event like this in my opinion. So far as the other Abjuration gear, at the time they also did not follow what has become standard rules for gear, at the time the only event which really did was Nyzul. As for Limbus gear, yeah, it is weirdly setup, but all in all these are all different from Skirmish, the most comparable to what this gear is likely to end up as is Salvage sets and VW/Legion sets.
