im hoping its a zero lockout content, with no bars to entry. just let me run it with who i want, when i want, and how i want within the confines of the encounter (Re: Dont just *** slap on random *** resistances to try to stop people from pet burning, or make manaburning nonviable)

So what you're saying is that you want asura to crash and not get back up?

If there's any sort of sellables for upgrades it'll be locked.

They mentioned that it would be completely separate from Unity...
That being said... I could easily see them somehow making the argument that "accolades" aren't "part of" the Unity system.

Yes it looks like WoE, based on the image, to me, it looks more like I a town with structures which reminds me much more like promyies. Maybe they have revamped the color scheme? The word that throws me off is battle content so it couldn't be a new area. Just someplace already in-game.

Augmented Unity Wanted gear can have some amazing potential..

Poppable NMs possibly via trash mobs sounds like a little Abyssea mixed in..

Fun Times ahead.. The thirst for some new Difficult Content will be quenched..

NM pop strategies and critical data will be posted here as we discover them..

Reasonable Prediction for how this works?

  • We trade a UNM +1 to an entry point.

  • It creates a "Save file" for that single item.

  • you then "Enter" the item

  • A maze of interlinked areas is randomly generated (Think nyzul)

  • you then Go through the area Killing monsters, completing tasks similar to vagary.

  • The tasks are based on the item traded. Eg a Melee weapon will have melee oriented objectives.

  • Completing these objectives Causes an NM to spawn.

  • This NM Adds a New augment modifier to the piece of gear.

  • Each gear holds Two to four Augments that are pre-determined and not RNG.

  • Once the piece of gear obtains all its possible levels, it can be upgraded using a rank system

  • The piece of gear has Fifteen levels for Rank upgrades

  • These Augments are able to be upgraded in power by trading in a currency obtained by helping others progress through their odyssey.

WEAPONS:
  • Demersal degen +1 - already a decent offhand for OAT, could get really good once augmented

  • Pukulatmuj +1 - no questions asked for anyone needing ENH+

  • Ababinili+1 always a strong pick for a healer staff

  • Ternion Dagger +1 - Could get Really good if it gets more TA+

  • Macabre gauntlets +1 Great for paladins as is

  • Jute Boots +1 Thief candy

  • Shomonjijoe +1 I dont play smn but i think this is one they still use today

  • Loess Barbuta +1 - Good enmity hp piece

  • Assiduity Pants +1 - still bis idle for alot of jobs

  • Regal Pumps+1 - mid tier potential maybe?

  • Zoar Subligar +1 - mid tier potential maybe?

  • Ros. Jaseran +1 - mid tier potential maybe?



ACCESSORIES:
  • Kentarch Belt+1 - could become a really good TP option

  • Warder charm +1 - Already an amazing idle piece

  • Odnowa Earring +1 - Already an amazing idle piece

  • Loricate Torque +1 - Already an amazing idle piece

  • Apielle Ring +1 - Good for enmity

  • Handler's Earring +1 - Already an amazing idle piece

I'm picturing something like omen. Three or four floors of walk of echoes styled zones with trash mobs, mid boss, boss. Trash mobs drop items required for the augment paths of unity pieces as well as things dropping to personal pool. Mid bosses and bosses drop a few cute unique pieces and maybe extra of the upgrade item.

No basis for any of that of course, just what I'd like to see. Make the content useful for people who want to upgrade as well as who might want a few of the things from midboss/boss.

Instead of caturae, bosses could be each of the different races of liliths dudes in purple. Mid bosses could be high end wotg style mobs like a unicorn or sandworm or w/e.

Will never happen, but fun to speculate

Items I’d add to the list potentially..

Gelatinous Ring +1...with offensive stats can be a really good hybrid DD/DT piece or with beefier defensive stats can be a Dring +1 of sorts

Tanmo +1...return towards the top of the list of non-rema BLU/CDC swords?

Emeici +1...pretty underrated as far as non-REMA H2H go but with a good aug could come into play.

It wouldn't need something as high as +5%. I could easily see it having only +3% WSdmg at R15 (or whatever the max level will be).
So STR+8 DEX+8 DA+1~3% WSdmg+3% would just be comparable to Thrud's STR+10 WSdmg+3%, since the STR and DEX are only at night.
If it got WSdmg+2~3%, the only thing it would invalidate would be Ishvara for the jobs that can wear it.

Though that's just 1/3 augment slots...

Agreed with all of Hideka's notes on weapons, plus several more with varying levels of potential.
- Raicho +1 (MDT-/Eva+) and Tancho +1 (SIRD-/Eva+) could both become useful niche NIN weapons - i.e., tanking offhand - with better augments.
- Kustawi +1 is still a solid Racc/Rapid Shot/Enm- option today (more for RNG than COR because Rostam/Su4 exists for COR), and could be pretty great if they tweaked that - say, giving a good chunk of AGI for WS.
- Norifusa +1 for SAM OA2-3x option? Additional STP or Acc would be pretty nice (assuming you don't kill the mob with ilevel weapon before doing whatever SCs you need)
- Comeuppances +1 were one of the best non-RMEA H2H weapons (probably the best before Ambu H2H). I could see a buff putting them above Ambuscade H2H, and maybe even Spharai/Glanz/Su5.
- Imati+1/Malison+1 could be among the best non-RMEA ranged weapons for RNG and COR, respectively.
- Contemplator +1/Marin Staff +1 have some potential for nuking mage staves.

Obviously also lots of accessories that are still great today, and would only get better with augments. In addition to Hideka's notes, I'd add:
- Lugra Earring (as Taint mentioned)
- Gelatinous Ring (as Luna mentioned)
- Seething Bomblet (some WS)
- Cacoethic Ring (already a great Racc piece)
- Ghastly Tathlum (potential for low tier, helix, etc)
- Shinjutsu-no-Obi (maybe wishful thinking, but stick refresh +1~2 on there and it would be a staple mage idle piece)
