New NMs and Class Specific Gear

New post on the lodestone!

http://static.finalfantasyxiv.com/to...5e6cc0cc66204f

So it seems 1.17 patch will bring class specific gear and twenty new NMs.
What do you guys think? I love the new Conjurer's weapon.

Hopefully the "Requirements" are only on new non-crafted gear.

I really hope the generic crafted gear that doesn't come from NM drops doesn't get a Rank or Class/Job Requirements. But all the Special Gear does, or if you equip materia with a rank requirement it locks it then.

Very good start, I will not complain about 20 NMS added in 1 patch

I'm hoping that those three items are not the only ones, out of the twenty new NMs, and only three items is a bit of a let down, Also I would have liked unique NMs, kind of tired of "Bigger" versions of a mob we have seen countless times before. Tho I am happy about the class specific gear, looking forward to more info once the patch comes out.

definitely not the only ones, probably a surprise for r50s equips!

as i look at that list this is what i think


3 big NMs listed with descriptions up top

3 unique items below

i bet each one drops one


and all the other 17 NMs arent endgame, and wont have those kinda drops on them but will have something else instead

I liked how they added weaker NMs and weaker NM itens, I really liked.

I'm sure each NM has its own drop, SE stated in the lodestone page that they are only highlighting 3 of the drops. I'm very happy with this; I mean damn, 20 NM's in one patch! This patch is looking to be more epic by the minute! Way to go Yoshi and SE!

Yeah I figured it was something like that, maybe, or we just got a Bio of 3 NMs out of the twenty just as a teaser.

Am sorry but all new gear should be rank and class requirements we talk about this here. Main reason some players does not want it just to show off there kitty cat chars. The reason i want it is to give a reason for me to level up a class to a level to get the item. Not just get it and i can just put it on if i like no i want to use it when i get the level and set a goal to reach that level to put on the item.

So glad it's not more max level NM's. In FFXI you have a spread of NM and associated gear from level 5-Max Level.

I'm quite excited about tomorrows update, I also hope it lures back some of my wayward LS mates, shell was a bit lonely past couple of days.

here's hoping the BLM armor is getting introduced...

LOL, yeah right.

Anyway I noticed something interesting on the Kple Kple weapon. One of its stats is Number of Attacks: +1. Does that mean it gets 2 attacks per turn?

o.O very very very nice. I did not expect this at all. I love the names of the mid range nm's Daddy Long legs for the yarzon classic lol. I'm excited to get online once more ^^. BB your the 1st to go down ^^.

if it was 2 attack it would say "Number of Attacks: 2". If the items kept the same rules as current ones. Look at any Pug weaps it says 2 attack on 'em

All other weapons ingame, except pugilist weapons, have attack +1, too

I agree and also believe that the gear should only be for that class and rank. If you want it then rank up the appropriate class to earn it.

Ah ok, thanks. I've never noticed that stat before.

I love having a chance to use a weapon I could have used 20 ranks ago.

I'm so glad I didn't grind my way to lv 50. Now I have something to work towards.

Haha oh man downy dunstan is adorable.

heh yeah, I have one job up there Gladiator 41, but been keeping all my jobs 22 and below, with archer/lancer at 0. I have gladiator for high end stuff, and the rest for low end stuff as it gets added.

No thanks, the last thing this game needs is more restrictions imo.

Right up until he uses his epic dream snot attack on you. =P

I am thinking that the three that were highlight will probably high end with the rest being spread out in difficulty between low and "mid game" ranges.

Well a couple of them are corethas so wouldn't they be high to mid high?

They should Lock all gear to what Jobs can wear its dumb i wanna be DD and i have crafting stats on my clothes
they should add more then 20 NMs they need to add 21 NMs and 1 nm being like Serket Roc Cactrot Rapido and make it so not pt of 8 can kill but a group of 18 not this limited causal game play ohh and yeah 21-24hr spawn timers

Probably. i don't see low ranked nms up there, that's for sure.

If you read and absorb the descriptions of the three highlighted. they ain't chicken scratch, A tortured soul sent from the sixth level of hell by the king of all explody things to do penance by killing people. a boar who killed and consumed a slyph elder and who has been wandering around getting worse since, and a Qq that was so renowned as a thief that he earned the ire of the strong arm of limsa, a town run by pirates and who has been hunting more victims while dodging the bounty on his snout.

Ah well, will be fun finding out first hand.

It's funny...that low level robe is actually better than most "mage" gear that's a higher level than that...

I think some armor should be restricted to certain classes and some should be open season.

Sarcasm? As Gear is currently meaningless and doesn't mend well for upcoming job changes. Dress up is cool and all, but we need requirements to work towards which in turn creates goals.

Shot in the dark...you're an RPer aren't you? As every MMO has a type of class/rank/race/gender restriction on gear...

Cactuar Jack is back! er.. I mean coming.

Well i mean...you can get the armor using another class and just equip it at level 1 because its using optimal rank instead of required. I don't see how it'd suddenly stop being a goal when every class can wear it (even though i dont think every class should be able to wear it for different reasons).

Heh isn't that how most games do it that have NM like things? You get better gear from them, look at the ninja boots that were still usable by high level ninjas from the rabbit outside starter town.

Lucky guess, I am. I have 2 characters infact on different servers, one on Besaid that is mostly for Rp and another on Trabia (My main) that is for doing endgame stuff.

This isn't really a restriction as its standard in all MMOs aside from this one and unfortunately the majority of people, based on forum posts, would want some restriction on armor in the form of level and class restrictions so they have a goal to work towards. There's no fun in being able to wear rank 50 armor at rank 1, make me work towards it.

20 NMS will give me plenty to do over the next month while waiting for more content.

And this is only part of patch 1.17.

And 1.17 is only 70% of the content coming over the next couple weeks.

Fuck. Yeah.
