I'm amazed that they're concluding SoA so quickly.

I was dreading a 4 year WotG style expansion.

Is that clown dude Hades?

Is this dude conjuring up little tarutaru models and floating them in the sky supposed to be of some significance that I've missed, being how they ended the video with it in what seemed to be a poignant manner?
Most likely it's(spoilered for those not caught up with missions yet)

The augmenting system for the new skirmish is supposedly different than the current system. It sounded like we would be able to use different stones to force certain augments, which would take away a lot of the rage that came from the completely random system in place now.

Quote:
Regarding Arcane Glyptics
Divainy-Gamainy in Western Adoulin (J-10) can engrave weapons and shields earned in alluvion skirmishes with arcane glyptics in exchange for particular items and a fee of obsidian fragments.
Materials Required to Engrave Arcane Glyptics
There are several types of such materials, each of which can be earned in Alluvion Skirmishes. Although the glyptics engraved by these mats vary in terms of attributes, different items beget particular results, making it possible for players to exert a certain degree of control over what attributes would like to receive.

I'm hoping for a shield that's along the lines of Adamas, except with a far more potent resistance to status ailments. Would make for a perfect trifecta of shields. I'm not expecting something along those lines from Skirmish, though.

They mentioned an unlimited charge warp item on a 10 minute recast that you buy with conquest points, don't recall them saying it was an actual ring though, but it's possible.

They`re also lowering the reuse time on warp clubs to 1 minute for "balance" purposes.

Edit: This is apparently SE`s answer to people asking for stack-able warp scrolls

I'm pretty "Meh" about this update.

BUT however I do like the updates to BLU, and the SAM Job Point add-ons. If COR got a sword in this update that's 119 from the new skirmish I wouldn't mind that either. Other than that "meh"

*"Cheers to a newly announced augment system! Divainy can weep in hell for all I care now."*

Limited playtime for not just this game, but for all my hobbies and preferred activities, generally, is what stops me from engaging in this random-*** nonsense. (edit: that is, except when I actually start feeling optimistic about it, then I do it, as I did yesterday, and am reminded that apparently I have angered Altana in ways I cannot fathom.)

I did several Skirmishes yesterday morning, for instance. Not a single wing, +2 stone, or Key Item.

Between that and throwing four more Savory Shanks at KB without a Defending Ring, I said *** XI and spent the rest of my day off playing other games and getting things done around the house.

I like results. You do work, you get things. I do Dynamis or Salvage, I don't *** up, I have currencies to show for it.

I do a BC, I may not get the drops I want, but I've at least got some chapters and some stuff I can sell.

I do Skirmish, I get no KI, I get no wings, I get NQ/+1 stones that give me sub-optimal results?

***. That. Noise.
Even if you have a bunch of items to do augments with, the augments suck. That would 900k I could have made selling the stones, and instead got offered +snapshot for thf... lame.

Craftable 119 armor and weapons would be nice. Getting crafting to 110 is costly and not really advantageous.

Let's hope for new cursed -1 gear!

I am thinking that they will use the current +2 weapons as a base to upgrade to the new skirmish weapons. I'm sure we will receive some sort of KI that you get from the new skirmish to upgrade the +2 weapon > new weapon.

I'm waiting to augment any weapons until I find out for sure, because I just made my mule a +2 staff and I don't want to be out millions of gil. I'm just hoping that there are some sort of treasure that will keep us going back to the new skirmish. If it's just for weapons it will die out fast.

SE already said 119 weapons drop from new skirmish, not likely to be related to the old weapons
Does that mean that the next round of new skirmishes will release 124 ilvl weapons?
