XIVDB has updated

It has all the new stuff and stats (I presume they are correct), with images of the stuff.

Some (shields, tools) are updated with images. I can only imagine they're pulling the other stuffs.

All of the icons are updated for me, Burtgang is the stupid looking sword from the 2.2 teaser page.

http://img.finalfantasyxiv.com/lds/p....png?b416aa5v1

Some new information is revealed, such as:

Rowena's Token (Soldiery) are purchased for x130 Tomestone of Soldiery.

You use these to craft the "Weathered" weapons. Then with "Weathered" weapons, you have to find this material called "Sands of Time" to craft a better weapon.

EDIT - More information:

Not sure if its already known, but looks like even the Tomestone of Soldiery gear (i100) can be upgraded to i110 with this same material called Sands of Time. Hmm... interesting.

Cuz that's toooootally not a wasted secondary skill on SCH! Thanks SE *glare*

I'm sorry to all the SMN/BLMs out there.

So that average looking sword is Burtgang ? How disappointing...

And still nothing more than 'same stats +X'. Add effects ? Proc ? Enhanced skill ?

All healer gear has ACC added to it now. They want us to help DPS when we can.

The Crit on almost everything is nice for SCH who like to push it, but I feel bad for WHM.

Yeah, and I'm also disappointed that no other SCH weapon has crit rate on it. But on the positive side, the new healer head and boot pieces finally have crit on them. That should make up for it. :)

Holy crap, even the robe + pants have crit on them. They're shared gear with WHM.

Looks like WHM will have to rely on allagan drops again to find their ideal stats on those pieces. Ha... it sucks to be them to rely on RNG again.

Edit - Oh boy, just checked even the allagan pants have crit on them. WHMs, you have my sympathies.

So i guess its confirmed...Casters are get the stupid looking magician get up :( Time to shelve my SMN and focus on my MNK/BRD.

Um.... why? Glamours exist, you know. You don't have to look like the mad hatter.

Yeah, I totally can't decide which relic to upgrade. MNK or SMN ; ;

Every other job gets cool, shiny new gear and BLM/SMN gets shafted with a horrible casino outfit. Vanity isn't really an excuse here.

Yeah I get why it has acc on it, but if SE allocates stats like blizzard does that means that we're actually losing out on the useful stuff for Accuracy which we'll only sometimes use. I hope that is not the case and it's just there for the sake of throwing us a bone.

What does Moggle Mog drops? I'm trying to find it but I can't... (EM not the regular one)

SMN I can see. Why would you want to upgrade Sphairai? The weathered Glanzfaust beats the Animus hands down and it can be upgraded to i110.

Gah, my life. I was supposed to be up all night working on an assignment. Instead, I'm going to be aiming for atleast 1 Relic Atma. Everyone ready to camp fates tonight?

I think the accuracy is just a bonus in case there comes a time in a fight where a healer is able to sneak some attacks in. I don't know if I really sympathize with "we could have some other stat!" when they're giving a free bonus 5th stat on a weapon when everyone else has 4.

True, but we also got the lion's share of the good looking low level dungeon gear, Acolyte and battlemage are both really nice. The other classes only have 1 decent looking set between the 2.

Cool is subjective, anyway. What you don't like may be a dream outfit for another.

Here I posted it in the Monk Thread but the Auto Attack on this seems so low for a ilvl110 weapon. Well it has lower Delay so I guess that could make up for the loss of Auto Attack?

Are there any pics of the actual Vanity items? or are they just old equipment? I hated all my caster gear except the SMN's doublet and the Allagan caster set. Been staring at both since November..Would have been nice to get something new that looked good.

It's basically an Allagan Grimoire updated but with better stats and acc, what are you lamenting for? It helps your DPS, it's not like they took away fom other stat for that, both mind and crit are there.

I'd be more mad from the fact that SCH get fuqed for every equip that doesn't have crit, basically. Looking at the dat, we have no iLevel 110 BiS hands, for example.

Yeah except it's not "free". If you compare the SMN to SCH books just as an example, every 2h is the same way. SCH's 4th is 24 PIE and then there's the 5th 9 ACC, SMN is 32 Spell Speed and no fifth.

They're all in the 30s on the 4th stat, Healers are in the mid 20s + Acc, so it's not "free". It's not a huge loss and I'm not gonna cry over it but it is meh. Pretty sure most healers would prefer the higher 4th stat over accuracy. :P

DRG-32 Crit, BRD-32 Acc, MNK-32 Crit, WAR-32 Acc, BLM-32 Crit

WHM/SCH 24Pie/9Acc *shrug*

This is EVERY 110 slot for healing. Oh well.

cant wait!

Couple more things I noticed. Leviathan EX weapons for BLM, BRD, MNK and DRG have sexy stats. If that's your main, you might want to go for it right away.

Second, looks like there's no new crafting gear except for this head piece -

http://xivdb.com/?item/7521/Artisan%27s-Spectacles

It's shared by all crafting classes, but looks like it can't be melded so.. yeah, that sucks. You might want to stick your current head piece if its fully melded.

Man, so many Fates to get the relic weapon upgrade

I'm totally dying that caster set green in the hat and feet, then purple for the body and hands. Which of those two colors the legs gets will have to be determined after I see how they appear.

hopefully the FATEs don't spawn an hour apart like the first few days of Crystal Tower lol

That's only for the Atma part, too.
Animus will take 13500 myth tomes and whatever those books tell us to do.

1500 myth tomes for each book, needs all 9 books for relic upgrade. That's a billion easy dungeon runs that require no skills, just a complete timesink, and I'm not even counting the actual book objectives (that all seem to be kill x enemies or do x fates)

This is not the good kind of "long term" content, sorry.

Pretty much. Just run a few coil turns, get a book, kill mobs, go back to coil and repeat.

Are you surprised though? Time sink content is what this game lives on, it's not as blatant as 1% drop rates or something but it's just as present.

Looks fun to me. Get an FC group together and run around doing FATEs while talking #$%^ to each other and having fun. Looking forward to having open world stuff to do.

that sounds pretty much it to me as well. between that and running coil to gear alt jobs my first few days seems to be used up.

No man, everyone is going to swarm on the fates which means the fates will be short lived. And you know fates don't spawn that often. Plenty of downtime.

Just because you do not like it does not mean others do!.
