30 New Armour Sets + Weapons

Havent seen this posted yet, sorry if its already been. Todays update has apparently added 30 new sets of armour (looks like 3 sets with options to customise) as well as new weapons. Wondering what these are for, some look pretty hawt!

Pretties

New hat?!

Do want

Mmm.. Smexy dagger.

Maybe my wish for customized armors will finally be granted. Pick your style, color and stats and it has your name on it like "Zabimaru's Cap" or something. One can dream...

i am intriqued by this.
the dagger and GS above look weird to me, but the armor seems nice.
it's gotta be like Zabimaru says, or something similar. unless each color is for a specific level range. curious indeed.

I wants!

The weapons remind me of aerns.

BRD pulling pants, song recast delay -3 + movement speed +8% =P

The headpiece on that Taru looks like something from Silence of the Lambs.lol

Little did you know, Tarus eat humans when no one is looking.

They seem to me what Sea Weapons should've looked like <.<

Thanks for the update.

I bet this will be the rewards for WoTG. :(

I don't think it's 30 new set... more like 3 new set you will upgrade or customize.

Yeah 30 new sets is very doubtful, however awesome that would be... Where did you find this anyway? I want to see the stats. But I do want that body piece the taru is wearing.

EDIT: Saw that link, nvm about where you got it. lol But I still don't believe it. I think they're just fake .dats that make you see the armor only on your char. I'll believe it when I see SE put these out.

Anyone remember this quote from playonline.com about the update.


We're pleased to announce that the development and quality assurance teams are hard at work on the new version update, currently on track for an early November release.
With thrilling new episodes of the Wings of the Goddess nation quests, job-related adjustments, added features for Moblin Maze Mongers, an extensive and all-new system involving items , and more, there's sure to be something for adventurers of all stripes!

Further details will be posted here as the release draws closer, so keep checking this space!

They're full armour sets (looks like about 3 or 4 different sets with multiple colour combinations) so I don't think they'll be the reward from WotG, I also don't think they'll be attainable through AN when there are already 4(?) sets.

Because of the customisable aspect I doubt they're new synthesis gear either. That pretty much only leaves NM's.

They COULD be changing Xarc and/or Beauc into Strongholds and adding SCNM's there (remember the other three zones didn't have NM's at first) which could also account for the weapons.

The only other thing I can think of, as much as I doubt it, is the implementation of the new end-game sea/sky type area set inside Atomos.

Well, they could also just be some crappy level 30 vendor gear or event gear <_<

Edit: Or Moblin Maze monger gear... THAT'd suck -_-

lmao, I'd laugh if it was lvl 30 vendor or event gear!

Moblin Maze Monger gear would be just cruel... ;_;

I'd definitely say it's level 75 gear though, low level gear always looks cheap and shitty, 75 gear always looks like they actually spent some time designing it (with the exceptions of errant and goliard legs <_<). And it's not themed or stylised to be event gear. I'm sticking with my NM answer (Beauc/Xarc SCNM > Atomos)

All I care about is there's a scythe that matches P.body.

The weapons remind me of fairys, so im thinking new wotg endgame event. Why the scythe is so different though., maybe they start out white and you need to unlock them through ws points or otehr quests. Or maybe this is just all npc gear D: lol

There's nothing saying that scythe is related to the other weapons, it could be a simple synthed item from like Amphipiter claws or the like.
