Anyone compile a list of things to do to prep for NIN?

[Warlyx]

I keep telling myself I need to prepare for Ninja. I will probably cap Soldiery tomes, UAT & some oils/sands. Other than that, I think I'd prefer to earn my gear whilst playing Ninja.

I don't want to "complete" it as soon as I hit 50. I know there will be more content and a higher iLvl once the patch hits but I just want to enjoy the journey.

thisx1000 , saved me posting it :P

That's just them being vague so they don't admit it, Fuma and stat logic goes for STR, what goes for DEX ? Nothing...

I can't speak on it either way. There hasn't been any conclusive evidence it will be STR or DEX, so essentially people have been smart and collected both over the last couple of months. If you haven't started by now, I wouldn't bother past i90 accessories.

People like using Fuma gear as an example, but nothing is stopping SE from creating similar looking gear, tossing DEX on it, calling it something else, and giving it to Ninja. We've seen this happen very recently with Guardian Gear from Syrus Tower for DRGs and MNKs (two sets of similar looking gear, but different stats).

You're forgetting the Solidery gear for Bard is the same as Monk, just coloured purple.

I think they may go DEX route only because BRD is the only class that doesn't share gear with someone else. If it is STR you would have three classes rolling on that str acc on third coil while brd is still alone.

Plus is not like dexterity doesn't make sense for a ninja.

My friend has already farmed all of the Atma he will need to for the Ninja relic. I'm pretty sure that he's done the same for the Novus part of the relic quest chain. The rest, he is waiting until the classes is released and he'll know what end-game gear he'll need. But since he already has all of the classes at 50, chances are, he is set on the accessories.

Just like the title says, has anyone seen or made their own list of things to collect now so they're ready for NIN? Was hoping to see if someone has shared their own checklist of items before I make my own.

There is an increase in ilvl and new tomestones. If you're maining Ninja then you'll start off to ilvl110+ like all the other jobs. Now, for the relic, there's already a post here with the details for each step.

You're still missing the point. They can change a damage calculation in the system so that it's bound to DEX or whatever non-STR stat they want, forcing you to have to gear for that non-STR stat. And nothing is still stopping them from creating a Fuma Lookalike armor and putting whatever non-STR stat on it instead for Ninja.

You need to think abstractly and stop looking at what's currently in front of you. Everything changes. This is a [good] developer way of thinking.

I didn't forget my mans, it was just point the fact that Sycrus Tower gear is a very obvious example of what I was talking about. It is however also a good example of what I was describing as well.

well i think they must laughs a looooot
all of this is born from some datamined info from a very old build of a passive that was increasing DEX, no proof it was link to the ninja... but well people are people. even when Yoshida say to save MELEE dps gear, people are still talking of the bard stuff that it's a RANGED dps... but well.

just saying, you really think they have time to modify the basic of the game simply for allows dex to increase the damage of some class melee... it will recquire to check every monster so far and redo the whole work! wake up dude it will not happend, they are simply using some bad rumor born from datamined information for create a hype... and i must say it work fairly well so far!

Not doing anything! I will be helping my boyfriend get in to his dungeons by going healer to everything with him!

The new live letter recently revealed there will be no story requirement for Ninja Job unlock only that you must reach lvl 30 Rogue and the lvl 15 secondary Job like all other Jobs.

However, Rogue will not be a starter class and can only be unlocked once the player has obtained their 1st lvl 10 class and unlocked the Armory system so the journey shouldn't be a issue unless you don't have 1 class not level 10 yet.

I posted up the info on my 2.4 content post this morning.
