Yep new rank and outfits. It could be they are going to release it in 3.35 with Palace of the Dead.

C'mon, Koji-fox

Since some folks still seem to be confused, here's a simplified rundown of the scrip changes:
- BLUE SCRIPS can buy: All the things they bought before, and now they can also buy Rowena's Tokens (Blue Scrip).
- RED SCRIPS can buy: All the things they bought before, and now they can also buy Goblin items. Be careful not to buy Rowena's Tokens (Red Scrip) anymore! These are now a huge waste of Red Scrips (unless you're super hard-up for materia).
- ROWENA'S TOKENS (BLUE SCRIP) can buy: All the things Rowena's Tokens (Red Scrip) could buy before. Essentially, there is no longer a weekly cap on buying the previous endgame gear. It is also much easier, as Blue Scrips are much easier to come by.
- ROWENA'S TOKENS (RED SCRIP) can buy: Tier IV Materia and Rowena's Tokens (Blue Scrip). Basically, you can convert your old Red Scrip tokens into Blue Scrip tokens, and thereby purchase the same stuff you could buy with Red Scrip tokens before.
- GOBLIN ITEMS can buy: All the new gear. They are, essentially, the new Rowena's Tokens (Red Scrip).

I guess I'll use my stockpile of red tokens to buy the final two blue token fishing books I never cared to get? :/

Just as with DoM/DoW gear, SE works actively to discourage anyone from getting a big "head start" on higher-tier gear. This doesn't come as any surprise to me. It IS nice that they gave us something to do with our stored Red Scrip tokens.

This is so weird... so we, that actually work hard to have all Gatherer/Crafter Gear..are stupids, cause it doesnt matter all the red tokens you have.. they are useless!.. (and Gatherer Materia IV it is not a worth!)

THX Yoshida, for all the wasted of time i spent gathering or crafting to cap tokens weekly... ¬¬U..thanks so much!

Well if this is so then I can at least buy the Fishing Gear I elected not to buy with Red Tokens before. One of the reasons I didn't buy the gear was that I THOUGHT I READ that the gather gear was going to a unified set of gear for all gatherers as opposed to what appears to be a system that simply augments the existing gear we already have.

Eh why are you surprised they do exactly the same to raiders, old gear becomes easier to get when new gear comes out.

It's essentially just like the battle gear, all the lore your collecting now will be really easy to get in 3.4 and a new tomestone will be added. Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of it either. Seems like you can still buy the stuff for lvl 170/180 gear with your red scrip tokens. It's just not the highest item level gear anymore.

The planned obsolescence is so good you would think Apple makes FF14. Depending on what these recipes look like i might just finish my HQ lvl 170 sets, get to 3 star, and call it a day until next expansion.

Yea, I'm not surprised much either. Just wish they mentioned the Goblin items in the Preliminary notes, so we would know not to buy any tokens before the reset. I (now obviously) stupidly just assumed, since no mention of new "tokens", it would be more red tokens and bought all 9 weekly red tokens.

Heaven forbid you have to do new patch stuff to get new patch gear.
DoW/DoM don't get to save old tomestones to buy the newest stuff on new gear patches, why should DoH/DoL? At least if you have 450 scrips stockpiled you'll get to immediately use them on Thursday.

Guessing Glass Fiber is the moogle equivalent of Ehcatl Sealant to keep people from gearing up the new i190 stuff too fast. Them potion/food changes though, it's about time (potions anyway)

So basically you use the new Augnented crafter gear to get your stats up so you can craft the ironworks? Or something....



On a side note they changed the Gridania example pic of the new arrows leading to new areas on the map & removed the arrow that pointed up bc it was "content still in development" HINT HINT
