Armor
Enchantment and Exclusive gear fill up the additions in this patch's new armor. There are four new full armor sets of Rare/Ex "Hydra" equipment, which provide the majority of the new gear. This Hydra armor is believed to be obtained in or through the new Dynamis-Tavnazia zone: The Fellow set, that provides bonuses to a character's Fellowship NPC. The meleeing caster set, which provides some boosts to non-traditional stats, for casters. The tanking set, designed for main tanks. The daily enchantment set, which provides boosts to physical damage jobs, in the form of an Enchantment that is available every 20 real life hours. There are three new items (two earrings and one mantle) that can be purchased with Ancient Beastcoins. A handful of other earrings and assorted armor pieces were also added.

Key Items
All the new key items added in the patch are listed here. These are used in a variety of ways, as detailed below.

Crafting Tools

A number of new Crafting Tools were added with this patch, that are purchased with Guild Points for their respective guild. These Crafting Tools make it easier to synthesize multiple copies of a certain type of item, using only one crystal. Each of these Crafting Tools use a specific new Crafting Material item for each of these synths. Note that the Chainwork and Sheeting crafting tools are available from both the Smithing and Goldsmithing guilds, and there are recipes that use them in both guilds.
