So yes, Shiro has been defeated and my group found some really nice things. As far as anyone knows, I don't think too many people are this far yet but either way we pulled together a ragtag Pug and beat this monster of a finale boss. I'll post a guide later of the skills he uses and a good way to beat him. Either way, this post is meant to be informative and to stop newbies from being scammed! If this needs to be moved, be my guest. :3



Alright first things first, we beat this guy in 1:38:


Anyways, after he dies you are teleported to a ceremony where you meet some traders. Didn't take us long to figure out that Suun gives you an amulet to trade in for some nice things! *all items are NOT shown!*


:O


Bows


Shiro's Sword


Casters

Also, the newly created 15k Cantha armor crafters have been found. My friend decided to get the armor which you will see down below. :] (Did I mention there are +5 energy crafters too!)


Ranger Armor


I can't see the new Factions character armors. :<

Here are the +5 energy weapons:


Warrior 15k Cantha screenshots! (congrats Reiden on being possibly the first - Designer's Axe is included)








(with a new Factions bow!)

... oh did I mention that I have a Phoenix as a pet now? :O



Also, for any interested parties here are some screenshots of the new Designer's Contest items. :]


Engraved Shield


Ironwing Flatbow

Yet another edit: (thanks Arwen Granger)

Wow, sleep/eat, etc much?

NICE JOB! That is a great incentive to beat the game! Now, is this place an area you can go to without having to defeat Shiro again?

Yes! And let me tell you, until we figured out the trick.. he is a monster. I'm gonna post a guide on his skills and how to beat him a little bit later.

Each time you want to go you must defeat him. Already killed him 4 times so.

Ugh, so to get 15k on all chars you have to beat the game on every single char.

Wow, congrats there dude. So in order to get 15k Canthan armor, you have to beat the game...hmm, I guess fighting for 15k Canthan seems rewarding. I can't wait to take the challenge and earn my reward(s).

Wow. Very nice.

Very tough to believe that some people beat the game already, while I remain WAAAY back around the Marketplace area. I'm such a slowpoke...

just a note, always take screenshots outside of town unless your taking them for yourself, because the graphics are blurred on other people in town.

I would have taken them out of town but the damn A-Net graphics got in the way. The guy with the 15k posted here so I can just ask him to pose again. ;P

(also, I killed the quality on these when I converted them since I used a program to do it for me)

EDIT: Here you go! (with the new DC axe)

I believe that was outside town, as they had their weapons out. (Well, for the ones except the armor pics :x)

Very very good info! Can't wait to see the other new items.

I put in some new out of town pics of the armor. Also, the other items were different variations of items for casters.

A question popped in my head.. Is there a storage person there? I mean you'd have to play through the whole mission, and with intention to craft 15k armor you'd need to carry the materials. But how do we even know what materials we need to craft the armor?...

There is NO storage there. So you will need to bring the appropiate materials. As far Ranger armor went it was all Scales and Fur Squares. I think the Necro ones required Monstrous Fangs or something but I don't remember. Reiden could probably tell you what the Warrior armor needed (assuming Steel Ingots and whatever else)

What would you assume Assassin needed? Tanned Hide Squares, Shells, Steel Ignots?

I wish I could tell you but the crafters only let you see for your class only. :<

Chances are they are what most of the other armor for that class requires.

Chitin Fragments
Steel

Those are confirmed. There are 3 Armor sets for Canthan characters, but only 1 for Tyrian. An Assassin will need 400 Chitin, while requiring 50 Steel.

In my opinion, the Chitin/Steel set is the best looking one. It's the Exotic one, for anyone who doesn't know.

A question.. how many hours (estimated) does it take to reach end game?

The two first to finish, as far as I know, spent around 20 hours. They actually finished about 3 hours after the release of the game, but played with their preorders.

It didn't take me more than a day but I wasn't able to play most of the day during pre-launch because of work. It's probably around the same for me, except I did side quests as well.

decided to get some sleep, but thought I'd stop by here first
The warrior armor I got there only needed steel and iron, chest was 150 iron and 50 steel, gloves, boots, and helm were 50 iron and 10 steel each, and legs were somewhere in between

and no, Loki and I tried it out just the two of us for a while trying to beat Shiro, got really close a few times, but then a few more people showed up, and we figured out the trick to beating him. That time is 1 minute and 38 seconds for the final mission of game pretty crazy. That did give us the master rating though.

Could you repeatly beat the game and get more of those greens?

Nice thing for beating the game, 15k armor and great stat greens.


Now go find FoW, and tell us if it still uses ectos/shards and settle the issue once and for all.

Where do you get those amulets to drop? Looks like I'm gonna be needing 2 for warrior(shield and sword) Assassin shiro blades, Ironwing longbow(Man, should've been composite ), Prot and Heal wand for monk, Death and blood magic for necro... oh my, I'm gonna be needing alot of amulets ;_;

As for that dragon axe, IT COULD'VE BEEN BIGGER, I mean seriously, a dragon axe is something you'd expect the size of a sephis axe or atleast something that looks formidable, needless to say there are better ones, Honestly looking forward to that 1/1 +30hp axe w/ mammoth skin.
