Revised - Update details Monday the 22nd of March 2010

[Mahoro]

Good summary of equipment added and where to get them. Still speculation at this point but I think the majority of it is on target.

New HNM fights (including CRAAAAAAB) : New rings plus crafting items to make Incubus Earring, Pythia Sash, Fylgja Torque, Ire Torque, Lmg Medallion, Toxon Belt
Alexander : Collosus gear
Odin : Aesir gear
Shadow Lord (potentially Splitting Heirs-esque battle) : Nocturne Gear and Nightfall
Second from top AN Rewards? : Forth Mantle, R.K. Sigil ring, Mrc.Mjr. Charm
Medal of Altana AN Rewards : Campaign WS Weapons (Griffinclaw = Sandy, Lex = Bastok, Samudra = Windurst), and possibly the Liverys (a la Conquest Points)
New gimpy looking Ex or R/Ex weapons : Probably the set of starting weapons for Trials of Magian
Crafted from probably easy to obtain ingredients : All those new teleport earrings.

The POL msgs say 8PM PST/11PM EST, Lenus. Could end early though depending on whether the World Merge takes quicker than expected.

Thx Maho. Tbh, Im kinda scared of the merger really, gonna be alot of people now, I can just imagine camps being full, alot of poeple soloing, which will probably make it harder on my DRK atm. Dynamis getting out of control, unless the people of garuda join the lakshmi shells, or agree to use RB calender. And maybe sky/sea flooded as well. So I dunno what to think of it atm. Just scared!
