July 2026 Version Update

Those bodies are pretty mediocre

1000 TP bonus is like 3x as good as WSD+10%.

If you need accuracy, this could be a decent offhand but that is incredibly rare and even then, improving your accuracy through other gear swaps or buffs and then using TP bonus is way better than wearing a TERRIBLE offhand.

this ***is sad. i love melee geo but when that wins a update...

Somewhat interesting bodies, at least if we get to augment them in some way.

They're like high meva melee friendly pieces for everything on the old bodies.

The Reciente Coselete kind of on par with R30 Gleti's, so kinda good for DRG. It's also more double attack and MEVA than Sakpata body, so it's actually kind of a really good reward.

The Mirce Wardecor is like R20 Nyame, I guess? With higher DEX but lower in other stats.

No comment on mage body. It uhh, better have augments I guess.

Wonder if the Prophetic weapons/ammo is a set with these bodies or with each other? Hmm.

Apologies. Maybe my device just isn't loading the images correctly. Thanks for the clarification.

I quoted the update notes which doesn't go into any detail about the changes I mentioned. The patch notes that give 'excruciating detail' went up as I was typing :P

Somebody joked it's going to be new gear with Pet Accuracy on it...

Why would you do this...

I suppose the best reward is that we can get all 3 bodies now, so we can lockstyle any of them :O!

Let's just hope eiryl wasn't right on the droprates..

the way they avoid campaign like the plague

I didn't even get my +60 pet accuracy. How will my avatars with 1.8k ACC ever hit anything at this rate?

They are ***, the drop rates will be fine

Pretty sure the mage body is the best SMN MB piece with the MBB II+5. As in summoner casting spells to magic burst. Not pets. That would make them a pet job and the gear useful.

Less Temenos floors but more mobs required per data could very quickly turn into new Temenos being the same or worse as old Temenos depending on how many kills are required now

Crossing my finger for augments, but SE has a way of disappointing the player base so my hopes are low.

why is all the gear being added to the game via updates lately so lame?

Yeah...if you already have capped MBB on SMN...somehow? I don't actually burst magic on SMN that often, but I'd have to imagine that's hard to do?

In which case, Bunzi's Robe shits all over this.

most importantly we get a new title!

It will likely be the same kills per floor as the Apollyon towers with 4 floors, which I think is 6 or 7. My guess is 6 or 7 per floor for the first 3 towers and 8 kills per floor in central (previously 7 I think).

genuinely asking but when is a summoner require to MB in a serious fight that the damage means something?

What the heck is up with the jobs on that dagger??? WAR BLM PLD GEO SCH but no DNC??? That has to be a typo (it's garbage anyways compared to TP bonus offhand).

DRG on the sword??? (Jesus... No)

Also lol set bonus equipment making a comeback (just no).

That club doesn't even beat R15 Magesmasher +1 for GEO melee. Better for OA nuking though.

None of those bodies are moving me besides summoner. I guess easier WSD+10 if you want to move to Nyame A.

PLD finally got a club, perhaps? That has to be BLM's best piercing option ;)

Sure, that would "make sense", but they specifically said they wanted to shorten Temenos, right? The wording was a bit vague (Our goal with these changes is to reduce the number of runs necessary to take on the content, and also to make it more accessible.)

The prior Temenos needed 4 kills per floor for 3 Towers, and 6 i think for Central? So something like 108 kills per climb. C might be 7 - i usually just mass pull the last mobs on those floors

If they make it 6 kills / 8 kills thats 96 kills. An improvement but not huge, and if you have to wait on repops because now floors are more congested that eats into the savings.

If its 7 kills / 8 kills that's 108, the same number of kills required as old. Less warping/running, but same potential congestion issue as above.

I don't know why you would want RNG on any of that. The set bonus appears to activate with an ammo, so you'd not be able to use your ranged weapon. (Sucks COR got an amazing Limbus sword last month and RNG couldn't use it)

Didn't say I wanted them on it, just said they are not on anything new, don't read into it was merely pointing it out

SE has been killing it making content I am 100% going to skip lately. New weapons? Don't care, they suck for me. New armor? Don't care, it sucks for me. Saving me all sorts of time!

Yea hard to say. Maybe the first 3 towers will just be increased to 5 kills. The stuff they said the moved around I'm going to assume is the Grhahs so they're not nearly impossible to avoid aggro. With less running/stealth needed maybe all of that will cut down the time on the run a signifcant amount solo.

devs clearly dont play their own game anymore, finger is off the pulse.

It is unironically a relief to not feel like I NEED to get something lol.

The only reason (other than SE being out of touch) I can think of why this armor is made so.. meh is because it's a much easier htmb to access then say, lilith

That's the only way this makes sense IMO

0 GameDay waits to clear ACP. Can be done in a day fairly easy if you don't ragequit on the tower climb one like I did

FFXI's end game has always been hope.
