August 5, 2013 Version Update

For those who haven't checked the OP, here it is:


I'll be sure to update it if there is an extension.

I wonder how many emergency maintenances we will have after it.

was made last update ~.~... In this update they just added ilvl to all the weapons lv100+ so the BLU Magic Update can work with more than just the WKR club


http://wiki.bluegartr.com/bg/Version_Update_(07/08/2013)

An issue where the Panopts we deleted have replaced every monster in the game has been addressed.

An issue where you could become a monster in town and attack other players has been addressed.

check versions up

888 files I believe

Going very very fast.

888 files, was expecting slightly more.

yea not very much

yea most of the monstrosity and AF gear was snuck in the last 2 updates if not 3,

http://goo.gl/rLbIla Monstrosity: http://goo.gl/GYgHpK

I'll get the full posts nice and pretty shortly

This would be so much fun ;; I wish.

Geomancy AF:
RUN AF:

14% haste.... Geo DD!!

btw... and no new hand bell? -_-

It's pointless to add any shield that isn't on par or equal to Aegis/Ochain. They've said they're focusing on developing content around Ochain & Aegis PLDs. It just seems like a waste of resources to me.

On another note, I'm ready to jump into Monstrosity.

IM GOING TO KILL SOMEONE

kinda wierd they didnt add a new hand bell

I will find it, sec
Edit: Bell Added

Wow geo got movement speed boots on their AF? That is so awesome! Now I don't need Herald's.

All in all the RUN and GEO AF kinda makes me wonder if they're not going to work up new sets for all the other jobs as well.

I mean, the Relic/AF/Empy sets are getting pretty tired at this point, particularly in comparison to the level 100+ gear.

nice.. hmm so +30 skills in gear + 16 merits... + JSE Cape (forgot how many) probably enough to hit a tier on anything...

got the new af club and gs stats by chance?

Added

This is short sighted. Aegis allows you to bust the Magic Damage Taken cap of 50%, the new shield, upon first appearance does not.

Further more, Ochain has a huge block rate and converts 25% of dmg taken to MP. Both options are still VASTLY superior.

Gutted that there is still no enspell boost on any of RUN's AF...

This is what I was hoping for the most. ; ;

Edit: Meant to quote that I was hoping for a new handbell from the AF gear. >.>;

wow :x
