Thank you to everyone who provided feedback about Skirmish. I wanted to provide a little more information about adjustments and additions to Skirmish that you can expect in the future.
New Skirmish
With the additions of the new areas, Skirmish for Content Level 13 will be added.
This additional content will be added between pre-existing content, so it will expand the amount of activities available horizontally, adding a greater breadth of activities rather than adding vertically to the range of content levels.
(*) In addition to Skirmish, we will also be adding new Colonization and Lair Reives for content levels 6-9 as well as Wildskeeper Reives at content level 17 with equipment corresponding to each fo the content levels (new Bayld equipment will be added corresponding to the Colonization and Lair Reives' level).
[[Updated table with the new activities' content levels shown, not going to bother posting here as it's specified above.]]
New Additions to Skirmish Strengthening of Existing Skirmish Weapons By clearing the new Skirmish, you can obtain new key items and new upgrade materials. Key Items These will allow existing Skirmish weapons to evolve further. (As an example, Ninza + key item will become Ninza +1.) There is only one type of key item. It is possible to evolve any Skirmish weapon, but the key item is consumed when it is evolved. If you want to evolve more than one weapon, you will need to re-obtain the key item. Arcane Glyptics previously granted to the item will be cleared. This is because it would be difficult to maintain the augments with the mechanism of improvement. New Upgrade Materials New upgrade materials will be added which allow evolved weapons to be granted arcane glyptics augments. New Armor Five new sets of armor will be added. We plan to allow this armor to also be reinforced with arcane glyptic augmentation using upgrade items. Arcane Glyptics Adjustments Based on previously received feedback, we plan to make the following adjustments to arcane glyptics augmentation: Ghastly Stones In the next version update, we will make it possible to transfer Ghastly Stones (new upgrade materials will be treated similarly). Also, we received feedback that the rank of the head should bias the rank of Ghastly Stones obtained, but that is already the specification as implemented. Augmentation Fee In the next version update, we will reduce the required Bayld fee for augmentation to 500. Other Feedback Bayld Exchange Bayld is mainly intended to be used in coalition-related content like Wildskeeper Reives, etc. We are planning to add new Wildskeeper Reives, so there will be new things to use your Bayld for. Obsidian Fragments Obsidian Fragments are designed as bonus points that are obtained exclusively from Skirmish. Because the fragments were not fundamental to the design of the activity, we do not plan to allow weapons to be exchanged for Obsidian Fragments. Acquisition of Weapons Upon clearing one Skirmish, you are guaranteed to receive at least one or two weapons. Although you may receive the same weapons several times, by clearing repeatedly you should eventually receive the weapons you want, so we will not be changing the acquisition difficulty. That said, while we will be leaving the obtainment of weapons as is, we do plan to further increase the chance to receive Simulacrum Segments.
I propose we start doing some Skrimish (for those who haven't done them) to save up Bayld and Skrimish weapons to upgrade in the next Skrimish and to do the new Wildskeeper Reives! Hurray for not having to spam Delve all day anymore!
