I'm glad they gave these values out, although they are the ones I had assumed were likely.
Gifts don't overwrite other gifts.

I deliberately left out Medeina when totaling skill options (probably should've mentioned that), but I don't see how you're getting 563 without it. I was under the impression that the skill+8 gift overwrites the previous skill+5 gift?
Gifts don't overwrite other gifts.
So, if those traits follow the Accuracy Bonus traits, we can expect to see 10/22/35 progression on these. That's quite a chunk!

I pray some other jobs got some nice stuff so people wont notice and start complaining.
Edit: I don't know why but looking at the other jobs 1200 gift I am not as impressed as I feel I should be. A death spell for blm?! Come on, we all know it will not work on ANYTHING worth while.
I dare say Blu did get the most versatile gift. I can't wait to see what tp gain is with mythic AM3, STP V, DW3, Haste II, and 1 or 2 marches. Yea...RIP all my other DD jobs.
It may be time for me to dust off my BLU, BLU was already very powerful before the update, the 1200 gift in addition to the 100 gift is just oh so delicious.
Holy ***.

Call me crazy, but I'm super excited about finally having an ilvl piece option for my legs: carmine cuisses +1.
Also, does abnoba kaftan become the king daddy body piece for CDC? Reminds me a lot of Loki's before we moved to ilvl gear.

Hellz yea man! This means my non-ilvl (refresh set) and my PDT ilvl119 set will have those fast pants! I knew it was going to be great when they said the abj. gear can be ilvled. I didn't know loki's kaftan was also included in this. Hah, I almost threw it away but instead put it on my mule. *whew!*
Didn't see accessories in Oraen's list:

I dunno though, during AM3 Rajas' 2 STR, 2 DEX, and +5 Subtle Blow would seem more beneficial than 1% DA.
1% DA is still a (small) net gain in multiattack rate. If the DEX makes a difference in your hitrate then it's possible, but other than that it's unlikely that Rajas would pull ahead.
From the update notes. What does this even mean and what use is it.?
Blue Mage
Blue magic spells learned from elemntals now appear as their own sortable category.

Our spells can be sorted both by element and by the family of monster we learned it from. Before this update, spells learned from monsters in the elemental family couldn't be found in the menu this way.
Personally I prefer sorting things by element, but those who found the monster-family sorting palatable would be happy that they can now look up those spells in that manner too.

I never understood sorting by monster family. If anything the alternative option should be sorting by trait, with traitless spells at the bottom.

Looks like new best TP/CDC gear, minus knowing augments on new hexed gear/blu JSE sword is
TP
ItemSet 336814
CDC
ItemSet 336815
TP
ItemSet 336814
CDC
ItemSet 336815
Where is the ring and ammo from, escha?
Jukik feather should be better if you don't need the 9 ACC but 9 acc isn't bad.
Going to wait until we have some more information about augments to update the OP. However, it has been confirmed that samnuha tights can be augmented with 8 STR, 9 DEX, 3 DA, and 2 TA. That makes them the best for TP and practically all WSs, by far. They pretty much took Taeon Tights out back behind the shed and bludgeoned them to death.
As soon as I know more about augments for Adhemar (head, hands, probably feet will be best for CDC, body and hands for TP), I'll get the OP updated. For now, go do Sinister Reign and hope you get Teodor, as all of his gear is ridiculously good for us.

Probably should say in those sets I use my mutilple sets of taeon. Since I have str/dex, crit hit +3, attack/acc on all pieces for cdc
Seems like dampening tam has some potential as well (Can augment with QA+3)
Yeah. Just plugged that in, it beats Taeon for TP
Some potential? Bonus DEX augs, colossal accuracy, and 3 QA. That's just ludicrous. For basically everything. We don't even need to sacrifice stuff for accuracy swaps anymore. SE really has chosen BLU to reign supreme.
Hadn't seen any of the weapons until now. Vampirism is good for glamour. Iris looks like it could be solid as an OH if you plan to cast physical magic often, but the low base damage and lack of meaningful sword dps stats makes it a difficult weapon to recommend without augment info. Assuming it's anything like the gun, it could crush everything (including Tizona in some situations)
Just got +2 triple attack/2 da +9 str and 8 dex on legs. That already wins for tp/ws

Quoted for truth.
I didn't know the augs could get awesome like that. I just did two runs and got the headpiece, but the augs were junk. You just spam it until you hopefully get a good augment set? Or is there a way to improve the augments on the piece you have? (I assume not)
Do we know anything about Iris augments yet?
Judging from the Cor weapon, if it is just +15 dmg, +15 acc, and +15 attack it is worse than Nibiru
We'll have to see how the weapon plays out. If we can get 15 DMG, 15 DEX, 15 ACC, it might just be super. I'll do what I can to get it soon. Stuck powering through missions because I've been lazy.
Also: Double exp/cp campaign this month. Get those 1200 while you can.

1200 cp... Even with all the bonuses we have been receiving lately, it doesn't really sound possible to me in near future, unless I stop doing anything other than butchering fodder non-stop. However, I do wonder if we can reach DW VI now.
