New Equipment! New NPCs!

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/ahturhgan/index.html

If that's all the armour they're adding, then it looks like it's gonna be designed for level 75's and will drop from assault/beseiged? Heres some pics and descriptions!:

This melee gear was created for the members of the Gafrahl line, who train the Imperial family in the ways of hand-to-hand fighting. The gear's power is designed to flow between each individual part of the suit, so that the wearer can only harness the true power of Pahluwan Kazaghand by equipping every piece of the set.

This equipment is used by an elite unit of mages in the eastern half of the Aht Urhgan Empire. In order not to burden the wearer, the Yigit Gomlek is designed to gradually draw small amounts of magical power from each part of the armor and concentrate it all in one place. Equipping the entire set of armor will provide its wearer with a nearly infinite pool of magical power to draw from.

Check it out, I only posted the armour (and there is no info on the new AFs as of yet) but there is lots of info on new weapons, I think alot of it is meant to be 2h to ween warriors away from dual axes for /nin... But we'll see

btw, Hydra Gear. I was right.

I'd like them to have shown all four sets. Melee and Mage are shown, Meat Shield Tank(lolnoninja) and Fellowship sets aren't.

 

[ForteTeppo]

is it me, or does this have an Indian theme to it >.>;;

 

[Dayner]

This legendary sword was said to be forged in the fires of the underworld. There are records of a demon general using the Algol during the Great War, causing wounds that emitted sparks until his victims perished in agony

so they did use few arabin words

Algol is an arabin word for ogre or beast

Pahluwan is the arabin word for acrobat

I think they are, in the last two images on the second line under "New Equipment."

 

[hellstorm]

i wonder if rdm will be able to wear melee side as well as mage:nyam:

 

[Lyrai]

Definitely has an Indian theme to it, all of ToAU does. They talk about "Near East" and "Far East" Which actually, refer to Japan, and India not only in Geography, but the characters that talk about it. I figured that out a while ago.

Interesting...

"Treasures of Aht Urhgan" is an expansion disc that will contain many new features including new jobs and areas. Service is scheduled to begin worldwide on April 20, 2006. Until then, the new features will be inaccessible even if both installation and contents registration are complete.

Appraisers

I guess it could have something to do with appraisers? Appraising better not cost much ><

I like the demonic feel it has ;x

 

[Gath]

New ore "scintillant" mentioned too. Most likely goldsmithing due to its Gold look.

 

[Nicolette]
