Let me also point out They stated that while they have a plan for r/m/e, there is absolutely NO timeframe, or if they "can secure the proper amount of manpower to continue it." They have thus far failed miserably to make good on updates that were given a specific timeline, so forgive me if I'm not too hopeful. Oh I know, we'll get the upgrades to r/m/e weapons after smns get Atomos and Cait sith. That must be it.
Actually, not arguing with anything you've stated (no, no "Date" has been set) about r/m/e upgrades, however it's been stated (dev post) that the "Upgrades" have already been decided, they're in the process of testing them to find the "balance" point with them and current/future content.

They've said they don't know if they can get the manpower as recently as three days ago:

What does this thing do again? lol...... Our server just killed Achuka and I got the gloves + this + about 40,000 balyd. Judging from the list of new items this is a top tier V item?
It's apparently useable on myself?

Shard's pop NMs when traded to the correct ???. Will give plasm (Delve tokens?) when used on self. Awesome thanks. So apparently the new items can drop off the same mobs we have been able to fight at least.

Apparently so, I'm curious to know what they are now though. They say things like "Increases AGI effect by 3%" instead of 17%.
Are they starting off at something like 70%?

I used a green one and it gave me 150 some plasms. I asked before if anyone knew what those were for, but no answer.

Per merit:
1 = 73%
2 = 76%
3 = 79%
4 = 82%
5 = 85%

But now we know, and we know it drops from at least Achuka for this one.

I think it is time for less b*tching about the new weapons, and more crafting/searching out how to get them, and get ting my hands on them them out to the playerbase.

5 = 85% On that note, several of Friend List / Linkshell have been asking me if it be worth to make 1/5 on WS now........
I have told them I believe 5/5 Still best but Might be now that is 73% not 17% due to most WS are 30~50% mod
What do you guys think? Any input on that (Plz help don't want to give them Wrong info)

I agree. But the question in hand is Would 1/5 be that sucky ?

as a DD, your job is to deal damage.. thus dropping 5/5s for 1/5 is creating mediocre dd instead of good dd
unless you really feel like the DD jobs perform drastically different roles, stick with 3 5/5s and don't suck

Yes. I'm sure they're very carefully testing everything they plan to implement just like always.

I agree that if you're really serious about a job you'll still 5/5 the WS regardless, but the difference between a 1/5 and 5/5 Resolution is like 400 damage assuming you have 200 STR and you hit 8 times.
Every bit counts, but 1/5ing a WS is no longer bad, or even "mediocre".

As of yesterday balance is thrown out, you now have 2-5 more defense than you had before but 100 more base damage. Not exactly balanced.

Wait 400 dmg on a WS isn't a lot?

It is, not saying it isn't, but at least they've remedied the problem of people not being able to play a variety of jobs at all.
Also that 400 damage figure is once again assuming you both do a 8-hit resolution and you still have 200 STR in your set despite that

These new items make my custom Ark Angel gear look like crap.
(Except some of the buffs on the earrings)
WTF? Are these items for real?
