On 10/29/2009 at 1:00am PST, SE conducted a Preparatory Version Update that was not accompanied by any server maintenance. This Preparatory Version Update downloaded files 14 new folders for a total of 1704 files.


Update:

there are 3 different sets which I am guessing follows the 3 sets to cover all jobs similar to Nyzul and Mini expansion.

each "set" has 9 to 10 subsets so there is a total of 30 new sets for a total of 150 new armor pieces

For images, I can't post them here because his bandwidth is exceeded. You can still view them here:

There's also new and original skins for 6 weapons, polearm, dagger, scythe, great sword and staff.

The new weapons look like they'd come out of Lumoria.

 

[Dowzer]

Totally, like an aern would wield them.

 

[Celvantes]

I like that new polearm and greatsword. I wonder what the stats will be like.

 

[Hexx]

Wait, are those new skins for existing armors in the game, or brand new armors?

 

[Sketchzter]

Looks like certain pieces are from current existing pieces in the game, but alot of that looks brand new.

 

[Kajimaru]

... I like that sword. ALOT. o.o

 

[Takumifujiwara]

Its such an over-the-top sword. Like they tried to design the gaudiest thing they could!

 

[Acutie]

weapons that look like that could very well cause cancer

 

[Khajit]

OMG i figured out why i like those weapons so much. SOUL EDGE!

 

[Raesvelg]

Those weapons look like cancerous candycanes.

Except for the scythe, which looks spiffy.

 

[Celvantes]

Well, I can't wait until they upload the stats on those things... they could be great, or they could really suck.

I'm going to bet the white ones are all augmented and will be either as good (or as bad, depending on your job) as the fey weapons.

 

[mdkuser]

someone speculated those are just reskin of existing weapons ( fey weapons), liek they did for the sea torques / sniper rings some time ago. Its likely knowing SE..

 

[Negorissimo]

Those weapons seems like time SE wants everyone to revisit Yurim at the Tavnazian Safehold, for the "In the name of Science" quest.

 

[Vandoura]

I'm pretty sure those weapon will be so what hard to obtain. Anything that look purrrty usually rare stuff.
