What exactly is happening with nuggets and the like for 1.19?

Looks like nuggets are actually going away lol. Best thing to make out of them now are ingots or rivets (Rivets mainly).

I actually really like these changes, as well as all the new equipment being added for each equipment type. Been long awaiting the linen and woolen doublets.

I do wonder if they are changing the ranks of things though. By adding in Steel, Mithril, and Cobalt Celatas, what then becomes of the Iron Celata, which is already R48. Or the Tarred Canvas Trousers, The Iron Cuirass and its other pieces, and so many other equipment that their adding new metals, or new pieces with steel, that surpass iron for. I Would assume the ranks of these are going to drop, a lot. If ranks on existing gear drops it will be a big rage for a lot of people.

I am still happy that gear is finally following proper material tiers rather than being all over the place at random. I expect the ranks of the recipes to follow suite.

They're removing ALL canvas gear and ALL pink gear.

This is just stupid. No wonder this game is dying faster than FFXI.

Hah yea thats too bad for the lovers of canvas and/or pink. Maybe they will add them back at some point, along with more colors for each different piece of gear. Right now there are only a handful with more than one optional color on that list....

Perhaps this is why they're renaming all the old gear to "dated"? So that gear doesn't change overnight on people?
