[EdwinLi]

We see a lot of the new Gears in 4.0 here and among them are the Samurai Plate armor for all DoW and DoM.

Machinist is even getting a new Gunblade Guns.

The type of Japanese armor that we associate with Samurai was historically used by archers, musket men, lancers, and general horseback cavalry too. The really pretty ornate sets were probably just worn for parades and ceremonies. Just because we call it "Samurai Armor" doesn't mean it was only useful to Samurai.

Samurai Plate is looking pretty slick. Though that it's the first-tier of Raid Gear raises some interesting questions about how the Omega Series may begin and play out.

Other than that I was particularly struck by the appearance of some China Dresses very similar to those that kicked off the chain of "Cash Shop pls". On the one hand, gives me hope for more outfits like the most recent cash shop addition actually being in the game. On the other, makes me regret my purchase of aforementioned cash shop dress, just a bit. But oh well.

How much of this is new? A lot looks like what we got. The girlfriend wants to know what the miqo'te at 1:23 is in is why I ask

How much of this is new?

Might need to double check on some items, but I think at least some of this stuff are items added to the game since January, and since it's technically the "2017" collection then anything from the first half of the year also counts. Also possible that there a few reskins of current dungeon items that will end up being used, and some items that they threw in cause they liked them, or they may even consider the "2017S" collection to include things added after the last collection video was made even if it wasn't actually added in 2017...

But I do think the majority of stuff has all been added in 2017 at some point. The item at 1:23 does seem to fall in this category, as I don't recognize it as an item currently in the game (it looks to me like a stylized bathing suit of some kind, as I assume you're talking about that one and not the piece that looks like the 250 crafted chest just before it).

Isn't that "Gunblade" / double bayonet already in the game? I remember Mide was using the same mesh and I swear I saw someone else using it.

You mean the Blue Steel which was the level 41 version of the weapon?

This version is most likely a crafter version for 4.0 as the blade is more black color compared to Blue Steel's Blue blade.

I'm pretty sure the gunblade in the video is the warwolf knifelock, a pvp weapon you can buy with wolf marks.

Isn't Warwolf the one with a Brown gungrip?

This one has Black gungrip but could be just the lighting of the place they filmed this making it look black.
