Am I the only one reading this that for Stage 2 you need to spend merits to complete your trial ?
That's how I read it.

Okay, i guess that makes sense than considering they're increasing storable merits from 20->30

I dont know how excited I am about this. I would imagine +3 Emp Armor will be out for 99 so how good can they make relic +2.
I have a feeling that it will be situational type boosts... or possibly to coincide with AF+2/3 pieces to make multiple situational armor sets, between the two sets themselves

Mirage is pretty baller (especially compared to mavi), and BLU is my favorite thing ever, but I'm gonna have to stick with surcoat on this one.

Right now im trying to go for RDM -1 pimp head and -1 body and feet.

Anyone know which mobs in the specific zones are "know to drop these" more often as others - or more likely?

Valkurm JA Cycle spam with Hippos, Manticores, Flys sucked in this case for head -1.

Means you need to hand in items to be rewarded with the augment much like empys, the clue is where it says the stage 2 requirements "merit point related augments" suggest they are stating whats needed for the trial not what the augment on the equipment will be. If it said "merit related augments" then id be unsure.

Well this sounds slightly hopeful as far as finally implementing the gear which in many cases was originally very situational (macro'd for ability) or just utterly useless (pre-ToAU jobs, I'm looking at you). While I'm interested to see what exactly these augmentations are going to be, if they aren't at least as useful as Emp+2's by the end of the trials I don't see the point in doing this.

That being said I see trials being possibly:

1) Collect X amount of ancient currency to upgrade to stage 1 (x2 if not +1'd)
2) Go defeat X Dynamis NM Y number of times (most likely would be stage 2)
3) Collect X amount of -1 version of desired upgrade (horrendous considering can only carry 1 r/ex and all) Unlikely but I can see SE doing this...
4) Collect X amount of new items with extremely low drop rate from new VW NM's (r/ex, wouldn't wanna make things too easy by trading/buying what you need and don't want, respectively)

I guess if the trials require ABCs. Honestly, they could require anything, so I wouldn't put it past them to make it ABCs, or anything for that matter. How about spending 10k tabs from FoV for a trial? I'm leaning more to Dynamis-related though, so if anything it's probably currency, new drops to turn in (i.e. seals or trophies), or a number of kills within Dynamis.

One thing I didn't understand about this new system is if the rewards will be +2 items. Is it multiple paths to the same +2 item (those with +1 have it easier)? Or will the rewards be NQ and +1 relic with the same augments but different trial requirements?

I read the stage-two portion of the augment as being similar to what we see now with some pieces of AF3+2, where the armor piece enhances/ augments a job trait or job ability.

In this case, stage-two augmented pieces would enhances/ augment traits/ job abilities that are unlocked from the revamped merit system they're going to release...

The thing can be interpreted in two ways:
Stage1: trade items for the upgrade.
Stage2: spend merit points to upgrade.

or
Stage1: stats increase.
Stage2: specific augment related to job specific merit category.

Now which one is it?

I just hope they change the appearance of some relic gear when it gets upgraded... because damn... words cannot describe my hatred for Koga gear.

Going with the former rather than the later... I know SE's gotten lazy but allowing us to spend merits to zoom past the second stage in a magian trial makes the least amount of sense given their approach thus far to ToTM.
