Apologies if I'm misunderstanding, because it's 5AM ...but, are you saying the gobbie box can momentarily appear Rainbow? I've never seen this before!

Does anyone have a better template to look at for those new gear sets? Looking at those one someone posted earlier is making my eyes bleed, lol.

yea its 2am here lol, I did read:
In addition to items that can be obtained from the existing anniversary dial, spoils from high-tier mission battlefields and high-tier avatar battlefields will also be included.
Also, for every ten treasure chests that you open, the chest will change to a rainbow color and boost your chances of getting high-tier mission battlefield and high-tier avatar battlefield spoils.
Existing Anniversary dial = using ANV Key I think, not sure, but I used 50 keys and no Rainbow color (They say after 10 opened boxes, it changes to rainbow.)

Yay, higher chance of getting more AA gear!! (lol)

For every ten chests, do you mean 10 daily (50 points) chests?

Because I just traded 58 SP Gobbie Keys in one trade ...and he is giving me 58 items in succession (it's about 1 item/second, slow).

One of the 58 items stands out:



Edit: I'm not seeing the anniversary dial

That new armor looks like a child ate a whole bag of rainbow gummies and threw up all over himself then wore their rainbow coloured vomit as an outfit for the rest of the day.

Some Japanese players are calling it “Gaming Armor”, haha.

I really don't want to look like a glow in the dark *** which is what this armor will do

If only there was a thing that allowed you to equip one piece of gear but show another.
If only! XD


I dunno, I kinda share the general idea that these sets aestetically suck and are completely out of place.
I don't have much to add to that.
BUT at the same time I kinda like that finally we get something so "different" from everything else, that stands out so much.

I love how these sets look.

New armor seems to be better than malignance, worse than augmented odyssey or sortie, at a glance. It's a lot blander than other sets for the most part, statwise. Good fillin gear, but unless the augments have something really spicy I think it's for returners rather than serious endgamers.

Obviously a couple pieces have extra value by virtue of being in a slot that was otherwise underserved, like BRD legs. WHM seems to have gotten the short end of the stick. BLM and SCH got a sorely needed upgrade for folks who don't have Sortie done yet.

Honestly, seems to fill a necessary progression point. Goes well with the recent easing of malignance drops. If you were expecting new amazing gear from DI-tier content that just requires you to be present, you're likely feeling let down. But, it seems like good content design to me.

I think we didn't need for this "returning gear" to be divided in 3 sets, the third one that will initially cost like 800m per piece.

Having a single quality for each set would've filled better the role imho.

If they wanted to throw a bone at crafters, and I understand the necessity for that, it should have been new crafted stuff, not tied to this new content focused for the goals Thorny underlined.

SE doesn't see the issue because "well, returning people who only have little gil, will be able to buy the NQ which will be very cheap!"
And... it's not wrong I guess.
But I dunno, I've never been a particular fan of NQ/HQ thing in general, especially way more so if there's 3 versions and it's for a "catch up" content.
