[dev1041] Relic Armor Upgrades

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Huh? Like it says, both the +1 and the NQ version will upgrade to the same item.

I see what you're saying, but I read it as A +1 will get you a +1 augmented and a NQ will get you a NQ upgreaded. Can we get a clarification from the devs?

I've got close to 11 full relic sets in storage from the years of Dynamis I've done. Hoping this finally makes keeping all that crap worth it.

I think you need to work on your reading comprehension skills, then. The post was fairly clear.

Here is an expert artist's (me) rendering of how this upgrade tree will look:

It's pretty clear that they will become the same item, the trials will just be different.

Easier Path= Ten 100 pieces?
Harder= One 100 piece?

I wonder if they'll make the harder path so hard that 99% of people will just opt for the easy path considering a decent lowman group of melees with /DNC and a THF could cap almost every -1 for the zone in a single run(I've seen them drop like candy). Kind of like how you could pay 500k for an Airship pass at rank 1(Harder path) or get rank 4 and get it for free(easier path). Or do like 10,000 WS at floor 1 Nyzul or get floor 100 and only have to do 300.

Hey Camate!

Does the first stage require items and the second stage require merits, or does the first stage increase the armor's stats and the second stage increase its effect on merit abilities or something? It's kind of ambiguous.

I've done 13 Dynamis - Valkurm since CoP dyna was adjusted, and have seen 0 Chapeaus, but I've gotten 2 petasos-1 in one run...random is random.

This is how the equipment will progress. BELIEVE IT!

•Stage 2: Merit point-related augments

I hope this means that merits will used for the second stage, otherwise say hello to a new pair of pants that increase the ranged accuracy bonus of Aggressive Aim or make Freeze II less horrible (but still pretty horrible). Theses pants will also hate you and everyone you know. It won't be written anywhere, but when you equip them, you'll know.
