New Allagan Tomestone to be added = AF2?

Do you guys think the new gear set will be AF2? i can't wait for DRG AF2 x.x

Most likely, I hope so anyway. Soldiery gears was the worst and so ugly.

I guess AF2 is part of the coming expansion pack as reward of the new job quests.

So we can ditch it not long after we hit level cap and then grind the secondary tome for lightdark armor and collect the weekly tome for the recolored versions of the AF2 while we're tackling the new 8 man weekly lockout raid?

I don't know why I thought of the above but I'm not liking myself very much for it.

Because I could be right.

I don't know if they will be coming with the new patch but I definitely want the AF2 gear. New job specific and properly themed gear is well overdue.

I think we can be nearly positive that you are right.

The only difference will be, hopefully, a few more bits to distract us from the gear treadmill when we get tired of it.

I read Af2 is printed on the material... ^^;

Artifact gear is prob from job quest, meaning v3.0 and level cap raise. Things you can buy are not AF, but rather mass produced replicas. You wont be able to buy replica of AF2 before they have released the quests to find AF2.

I'd hope not. I want the AF2 to be earned through a series of challenging quests. Not handed out like candy (you bought with easily acquired tomes).

I am guessing the next patch will have AF2. The final coil will basically be the final raid of this level cap and will be out until the expansion I assume. I would think the expansion wouldn't be out until next summer or something at least.

Can anyone repost the full set of images?

From memory, they didn't show all classes, only drg, smn and mnk I think.

I hope they make it hard. Open up the stongholds a bit more with tough mobs, that you have to get keys from! Yes I went there. Keys for coffers. Even do more boss fights to get the gear. As it is now, once you hit 45 it takes 10, 15 mins tops to go get your AF. IT should really be something to work for, not just handed to you.

I suspect 2.4 will be something like this:

New Tome Gear: 130
New Coil3 Gear: 130
New Coil3 Weapon: 135
New Shiva Gear: 125
New Shiva Weapon: 125

Then 2.5 adding CT3 with Gear at 120, and perhaps an upgrade of Weathered path that will take it to 120 as well.

someone's not mine

You thought of that because that's how AF worked, we have no idea how it will work, we could have to get AF2 from the new raids who knows, but I don't think SE will have reskins of af2 for tomes this time round.

I would agree but that first set of AF gear was only good for like 5 minutes (hyperbole). The rest of the gear (AF1.5?), at least for me, took several weeks. Probably even months to get it all. It wasn't necessarily hard but I had to actually play the game pretty much every day just to get it. That first AF gear was handed out for free, but it actually wasn't that great of gear anyways. Just better than what you had at that level.

I am really looking forward to seeing the other gear sets.

I am in love with the SMN one but I really want to know what WHM will be and if it's hood will have a /visor feature owo

I'm pretty sure they won't be implemented until at least the expansion. Keep in mind, there's a reason they're called AF2. Unlike Myth gear it's not just a simple reskin, but a completely new AF set. My guess is it will show up in some form of a quest chain once the level cap gets raised.

there's no such thing, aside from Coil.
the only thing that is challenging, is having patience for grindy stuff like relics.

Anything better looking than the hideous soldiery circus outfits, please. -_____-

Yeah the caster stuff definitely looks bad. But right when that dropped I figured that was because it was the same time Glamour was introduced. I was all, "So sneaky SE, implement a feature and then force me to use it. I see what you did there."

I really like the Bard and Monk Soldiery stuff. The rest of it is alright too. Caster gear though, I glamoured my body as soon as I could.

If SE do it right, job quests can be challlenging quests again like the lv50 job quest during 1.x

Caster soldiery looks fine for non-cats, at least male evenstar is one of the best looking sets in game atm (again, if you're not a cat with boner tail)

For relevance, these were shown in October 2013 along with WAR & MNK High Allagan gear, which was released at the end of March 2014. It's going on a year since these pictures were shown off.

Judging from the delay alone I'd say 3.0.

I actually like my Tank outfit from Soldiery. I think it's one of the best outfits in the game and the only I can think of when dyed black, it looks black not dark gray. I do have some clothes I want to glamour to have it on my highest gear, but my soldiery tank gear looks too cool to glamour over.

This is what I expect as well. If the cap is raise to say 60-65 then the pieces should be incorporated along that grind, but at lvls 63-65. Hands and feet at 63, legs and body at 64 and head at 65. Or something along those lines. They could make it to where from 60 to 65 you fight certain things to gather required components to restore/create the AF2 then get it all at 65 after a challenging boss battle. SO many ways they could do this right, hopefully we don't get a handful of wrong.

I really hope we do see these designs at some point. I also hope whatever gear is coming in 2.4 isn't ugly like some of the Soldiery was (Daystar and Noct Loria, I'm looking at you).

i do hope that the 2.4 gears from the new tomes will be this one, you seems to miss a point, this stuff is inspired from the other ff... i will prefer that the true AF are someone original from FF14 instead to reuse the old design.

I felt the same way. Then ST was released w/ even worse looking gear.

Daystar and Scylla weren't so bad. I'm struggling to point out a bad-looking Healer gear except for... I dunno, Strategos maybe.

Darklight, CT.

Also everything but the head is Ok on Scylla set if you have a female char, The head though, is as bad as the entire Evenstar pieces combined.



Im surprised nobody mentioned DL Tank gear as one of the worst looking sets, yet.

I hated the Darklight Tank gear especially since they are pieces that take multiple slots. I hate wearing helmets and I just couldn't stand that and all the other multislot tank gears.

Maybe my fashion sense is not as acute but I find nothing wrong with Royal or Darklight Healing sets.
Well except that Darklight can't be glamoured onto anything because it doesn't have a head.

... Hey, what if AF2 is actually TCoB gear?

That wouldn't be very logic, unless FFXIV's Bahamut is a fusion of all the Bahamuts of the FF games and they all went berzerk and killed the old heroes to take their clothes and that would be why we could find them there !

The amount of complaining on these very forums would be amazing.

9 different sets in the loot pool would be kind of gross with RNG (like HA weapons but worse). I mean I guess they could use a token system with more than one class on a token.
