back would be a decent slot for an augmentable item, but my money is on legs.

Hope it's legs. Could use a nice piece of legs for smn.
I still think it's pretty stupid that they're only making 3 instead of 5 (one for each main armor slot). For that fact alone I think it will be an accessory instead of one of the main 5 slots. Dunno.. have to wait and see.

I'm hoping for feet myself, I'd like a nice pair that I could use for ws; there are a lot more hand and leg options than there are feet for me.

Either way I have a feeling it is going to be either hands/legs/feet simply because those are the only visible armor options left unless they do weapon which I doubt.

My thoughts on the matter concur with Korpg but for different reasons.

To me, hands and feet pieces go hand in hand. Dusk, homam, heca ETC ETC. Every piece i can think of has the hands and feet being very similar.
When you look at body and leg slot it is also very similar as they have larger bonuses and defense than their hands/feet counterparts. If they were going to release feet and somehow make the mods recieved on them similar to the body/head released the new feet would be overpowered. If they toned down the augments to suit a foot piece people would complain about how unsatisfactory this expansion was in comparison to the other two.

"I" would love to see neck or throwing augment choices but i know that realistically it wont happen.

Melees would be screwed in this department. Highly doubt you're gonna beat the big boys (especially for TP, yet alone ws)
In my opinion... It 'will' be legs. Look at how they've done the other two.

ACP - There are a TON of good body pieces and ACP bodies nearly equaled or beat a LOT of them like SH, SH+1, Togi, Haubergeon, etc.

MKD - With MKD you're able to get:
5% Haste which replaces Turban.
6 Str which replaces Wyvern Helm +1.
+10 Acc / +15 WS Acc which easily replaces / beats any heads for multi-hit WS's.
As well as Int/m. acc./m. atk./etc.

Because of their need to 'replace' existing 'standard' pieces, I could see them going this route. You'll most likely be able to get 4-5% Haste, 4-6 Strength, 5-7 Dexterity, 5+ Accuracy, 5+ Intelligence, etc. Now... I 'could' be wrong, but that's my logic behind it.

It's either going to be legs, hands, or feet. It's got to be something that you would be able see on your character, and weapon would be out of the question for obvious reasons. So out of legs, hands, and feet, I'm with the majority on this one, I'd like to see some hot new legs!

I can see the price of Byakko's Haidate come CRASHING down after this reward is released. XD It will be hilarious.

I could see the 5 Haste, but the Dex would most likely not come anywhere close. :P

+1 to legs with available haste, and I'll never have to touch Homam (not that I still wouldn't want it).

Well, my guess would be it'll be like the hats. You'll get the ability to do 5 Haste in 2 different options, a 3 and a 2. And you'll get something cheap like Dex+2-4 or Agi+2-4 in addition to your 5 Haste.

If they are going to give an item it will be gloves, legs or feet.

The simple reason is you can easily see these items and that means people will check the person wearing it and want the item themselves and then go buy the mini expansion.

I'm thinking given head and body already the next major slot is legs, though I would really love to see feet instead.

You heard it here first, folks, all new mini-expansion leg choices are varying versions of subligar. SE's ultimate "nyah!"

Meh whichever piece it is going to be I will just augment with PET: augments again and used situationally whenever I decide to play BST. Legs, Feet, doesn't matter to me much IMO. I like using Byakko Haidate for lolBSTmelee but Herder's Subligar and Askar Dirs both have decent PET: stats for NMs. Which is the main reason I jump on BST (besides farming in the tree when we have TH kupopower)

Although, I'd perfer to not give up my pee boots either...

/hurray

Finally not having to spend millions of gil on an item you could get with a sky LS if only most sky LS's didn't fall apart within a month and/or break up because of this drop!

If you're the right job, sure. :P But, falling prices on NM drops is win imo.

Yep, tons do. And also, giving people more Haste alternatives to Byakko's Haidate is great. Less drama = awesome.
