Skirmish (07/10/2012)

Yes mr Sanders, it's tied to the Umbral Event storyline so the content in this form will only exist in 1.23. It could have a reiteration in 2.0 in someway but based on lore it's purely setup for the 'final fight'.

Get ready to grind it over and over again for a chance at a weapon!

Oh haha that does make sense! Well at least for now we getting new content

yeah Yoshi already stated it takes them 6 months to design a unique set of armor, I assume it will be much quicker in 2.0 and we will start to see a lot more armor sets.

I am going to say, I am worried a bit about the level 50 gear bloat. And I do wonder how these weapons will fit into the bis hierarchy.

That said, Skirmish has the potential to be pretty darned fun. If they manage to capture the feeling of a group burly brawl style fights like the current empire invasions and C.n have the I am all for it. Hell If it gives g.c seals at a decent clip I will love the hell out of it.

what i am assuming it is, is one will be one at a time roaming NMs (fight dodor once killed buffalo pops, then gob etc.) the other will be multiple roaming NMs at the same time. Its what it sounds like to me anyways.

edit: could also be dungeon bosses as well, like the ogre and batral, miser, princess, etc.

Everyone here is forgetting the most important part of this content

Skirmish details



Hi there,

The Development team confirmed to me that the rate to get the rewards in skirmishes is gonna be higher than the rate in other endgame activities (like dungeon and primals).

Weapons are the only rewards from Skirmishes, and are targeted to those players who can't beat Garuda.

Just my 2 gil...I'm all for lvl 45+ content...but with the influx of new players or returning players it would be nice to see some content geared for lvl 20-45 to help bridge the gap...because I'm sure not everyone will have a lvl 50 job and a chance to experience all the higher lvl content before 2.0 rolls around...

The problem with this is you can create a character and get powerleveled past every bit of low level content, so in all reality it's actually pointless to introduce low level content till they adjust the leveling of this game.

Here's hoping that they do...
