Current List of Evoliths!!!

That's pretty cool, if I still played and understood what each column meant :x
 
that is VERY cool, I already see a few NMs i have to hunt, hopfully there is still gear that I can upgrade to make use of it all (almost all my stuff for my main jobs is ra/ex already
 
My main issue thus far is I haven't found much that is useful to put Evoliths on. The other of course being that there dont' seem to be very many good evoliths to put on. Some of them are very nice, but completely situational. The ones that arent' situational are unfortunately rather weak, or are relatively useless.

The WS Evo's look nice, and some of the magic ones, but I mean... I think what everyone was expecting out of this is either 1. Ways to make our already nice gear (that isn't endgame stuff already, ie: Hauby) nicer, or 2. Ways to make gear that is otherwise useless useful.

2 would make sense if they actually had useful Evoliths to put on this other gear, and if we were able to put Evo's on rings or earrings.

1 Obviously isn't true, since I've noticed very few staple pieces of gear so far that can be etched for evolith.

I think Synergy is cool and all....I just think SE needs to really work on updating the amount of equipment that can be etched and the variety of non-situational evolith that are out there (Ie: Standard Acc/haste vs. All enemies or -Perpetuation costs, Pet accuracy/haste/atk, Straight up conserve MP gear, that sort of thing, not just vs one type of enemy found only at the bottom of Goblin Wolfman's dirty toilet on Darksdays with Light weather while wearing a santa cap).

I tried testing a few pieces last night. So far it appears that nothing on my BLU or BLM can be etched. I tried random junk from my MH and none of that could be etched either. I'm beginning think that only items introduced in the latest two updates can be etched.
 
It's a fairly short list, we know that much.

From endgame gear that I actually use, the only piece I can etch so far is my Koenig Shield.

I'm sure we can expect an expansion of the gear available to etch at some point in the future, but I really wish SE had given us a few more options right off the bat. More like the kind of variety available to Augment.

Agreed, the list seems short at the moment. Etched my Koenig Shield and Shigeto Bow, now I'm just hoping to find some decent evoliths to insert into the slots.......
 
Any idea exactly how much the ability delay -1 is for the 2hrs?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say -1 sec.

Anyway, I'm betting it will reduce it by 72 seconds.
 
I feel like a noob all over again since I'm just returning after a long break. I definitely have to look into this new evolith business. ^^

Edit: Just wiki'd it and looked at a brief definition of what evoliths do. It looks quite interesting and fun! o.O

its actually a fail system, only good in certain situations, because of vs family
 
There is a really key thing people miss about the synergy/evolith system which actually makes it amazing. Yes the evolith are VERY situational, but they HAVE to be. The system is designed so that there are no random drops. Thus you can CHOOSE what evolith you want to go after. If the evolith were all amazing and non-situational you'd be uber elite and pwning things throwing off the balance of power. However, I think that for the price you have to pay for the gear, one would deserve to actually be a bit above the average level 75 player. Anywho the BIGGEST part of the evolith system that EVERYONE seems to not figure out concerning the situational evolith is that YOU. CAN. HAVE. UP. TO. 45. DIFFERENT. EVOLITH!

Let's do some math now. Let's say you have a full set of ebon armor. That's a head/body/hands/legs/feet. 5 different pieces. On all "evolved" synergy pieces, you get at least 3 slots to be etched. So, that's 5 pieces with at least 3 evolith slots. 15 evolith. Now, take into account that FURIA EBUR and EBON are 3 different colors. Therefore you can have 3 of the same pieces in different colors. So 3 sets of head/body/hands/legs/feet. that's 15 pieces with at least 3 etchable slots. THAT'S 45 DIFFERENT EVOLITH you can have. Situational or not, 45+ added stats is NICE! Fail system? I think not.
 
Imo, it is random. You don't get the same exact bonus(#) every-time you kill a nm for an evolith. A good numbers of the evolith are pretty terrible in any situation. The aptant drops are random (1 of the 2 drops, from what ive witnessed) and low drop %. About the same with the pigments.The time and effort it takes to get full evoliths for every slot, pigments for every piece if your going for looks/element, and the price for the base ebon, kind of makes the system not that cool atm.

Idk, I guess going 8/40+ for aptant drops for only 1 set, not including the color or evolith , killed it for me.
 
lol. point noted xeon. i didn't have nearly as bad luck as you so i guess i'm going to come across it at one point or another if i do go after all the pieces. i hadn't gotten any negative stats on my evolith yet either as well. at the moment tho, the rarity of these body pieces is what is keeping me on this game. i HATE how so many body pieces are the "end all" and EVERYONE is going after that one piece. no diversity and there's no competitionan. I'm no different from the next whm because they can max out their stats and get the same cliche "best" armor. This changes that for me in part.
