Ah, I see that now, thank you. I should have read more carefully.

I pray to all divinities that this is an oversight...
Because that's just as BS as the requirement to forge a mythic allowing 99 Mythics be turned into 119 Mythics.
We can trade all other seals for any of any...

This needs to be patched... because I don't feel like burning all my login pts in campaign 5 on these new seals...
They are stupid expensive. 100pt/S.Kindred Seal...
That's 2000pt just for a single pop... >_>

This needs to be fixed... I got so many crappy low level seals and crests.... Why do I have 452 kindred seals? BECAUSE I NEVER USED THEM!
Before that one campaign a bit ago... I was gonna use them for utsusemi ni and phalanx farming...
Now I had planned on AF upgrade farming....
But if I can't trade them...........
>_>

Hi guys,

Sorry if someone has already linked to the details, but I'm totally lost with all this new AF. Is there a list somewhere that shows the new pieces and where do I start the quest to upgrade?

It's not a quest, but you can see a list of the items here:

Reforged Armor

Some items are good, some are bad. There are many sidegrade gear and direct upgrades. This is a step towards the old model people wanted to have back, so now you have progress towards that in XI. I think its a good thing and I liked most AF1 looks anyway (BLU!)

Greetings,

We wanted to let you know that we will be removing the “rare” aspect of the materials needed for artifact armor upgrades that can be obtained from Limbus, and we will also be making them stackable up to 12.

SMN feet BP dmg boosts is only about 4-5%

I'm totally happy with this, the new AF is great for letting players look like the jobs they play instead of the ugly and generic skirmish/delve gear that ruined job identity from a visual standpoint.

While it wasn't mentioned in the overview of the December version update, I'd like to update you that the above adjustment has been finalized and will take place during the December version update. :D
