ok for the site that was mentioned they are in the order they are in the strat guide if tht helps. except the last ones are a bit out of order i think. the orange 1 at the end is not mnk it is nin mnk is the 2nd 1. and instead of plds lining on their af being red it is black
Dynamis Drop. Valor Surcoat drops in Dynamis Xarcabard.
Drops in dynamis are based on which dynamis. EG blm gloves, drk gloves, etc etc all drop in dynamis windurst.
Catch is, relic drops are very very rare. As for this one, the body for pld, it drops in Dynamis Xarcabard.
Dynamis Xarcabard is infinitely tougher than any dynamis before it, every pull of a statue can bring 4 eyes, which pop 2-3 demons each. Every demon is much harder than IT to 75 mob. NM type demons take multiple alliances to kill. And usually there is much re-raising to be done after wipeouts (which are common).
Normal Dynamis have been known to wipe out NA LS of 50-60+ people. However this is the learning curve, since you need skilled pullers (usually bst) to kite the mobs that pop after you pull a statue. And then there's the repop mobs that will materialize later, as well as an influx of repops after the main boss for the area is killed.
i'm just rushing and breaking down bits of info, but like someone else said before, when you're high enough and have an Ls to do dynamis with, then you'll understand.

I sent in a pic of it.
PLD AF2 is so much better then the AF1.
WOW is all i have to say, The AF 2 looks badass, i am miles away but wow i cant wait.
the 2nd to last one is Summoner (all brown)the last one (the brown armor) is new and the purpleish pink magenta whm AF2 lookin 1 is new
Nope. Summoner AF2 would have a horn; the summoner AF is the one just above the all brown. The last two are new. The second to last is possibly time mage (if it were to be blue mage, the armor would likely be blue), but that last one...I have no clue.

The second to last one is SMN gear...the Austere set. It's a step above the SMN AF, but a step below AF2. I see a ton of people on Leviathan with that stuff, either equiped or for sell. But that last set of armor...could that have been GM gear? Or...a new job?
How do you get the relic armor? It makes sense that you'd have to accept a quest for it...but one guy that posted here says it's a drop. ok
1)HAVING THIS AS A DROP SEEMS DOWNRIGHT TOO EASY!
2)Not that if it was too easy i'd be mad
3)If it only a drop from a NM that you killafter accepting a quest where do you accept the quests?
4)If #3 is correct where do you accept the quests for the other relic armor?
Thankyou in advance if you read this and respond.

Ok here's how it is..
You look at the various monsters that drops it.
Then you complet the necessary things to get in dynamis.
Then you fight the mob and it drops the item
It seems easy
but dynamis is ******* hard to fight in
mobs there link and are tough

mmm-hmmmm, i see thank you, question though
(i don't expect anyone to know ALL of these, just saying):
1)Where can i see what monsters drop it?
2)My info on getting into Dynamis is sketchy (I just barely get the gist of it)
3) whas that the right way to spell "gist"?
4)I wanna get all the relic(2nd af set) armor 4 paladin uncluding excalibur, relic swd dropps in Windy dynamis, but u gotta go to bastok dynamis at some point to upgrade it (I think, agian info is sketchy) ans i think some pal relic armor drops in Bastok dynamis.....SOMONE CLEAR THIS UP FOR ME!!!!!

Shut up already, by the time you're high enough level to do this, and have the linkshell to do it, you'll know how to do it.
gee, that was rude, i just don't wanna run in there and do something stupid
This is a drop, and yeah, sure it seems easy. Wait til your first SMN Astral Flow that kills 64 members of a dynamis, then you can say its easy. Not only that but AF2 drops are random. So if your AF and 13 other jobs' AF drops in there and 1 AF piece drops there's a 1/13 chance it'll be the one you want. THEN, you have to concider how many other jobs are there that want the same item as you. PLDs, RDMs, and BLMs are always needed in Dynamis no matter what. Figure AT LEAST 6 PLDs in a dynamis, 5 of which will lot against you. So tell me then, is it easy to obtain this?
I have done over 20 dynamises now, and I was lucky enough to win a lot on a Valor Coronet. That is the first Valor Coronet i have ever seen drop out of 5 times in Dynamis Bastok. I have yet to see the Valor Leggings (boots) drop from Windy, and I have seen 2 Valor Gauntlets Drop, of which I won neither. I haven't made it to Beaucedine yet, but I would imagine that it is incredibly difficult there, as we haven't even been able to defeat Windy yet. (Dynamis Windy is the hardest of the 4 you must beat to go to Beaucedine. You must then beat Beaucedine to go to Xarcbard. One thing many of you may not know, is that Dynamis is the pinnacle of the storyline of the game. Dynamis is all about the return of the shadowlord. After beating Dynamis Xarcbard, you will get a very long, explanitory cutscene tying all of the storyline, missions, Zilart, all are wrapped up and revealed there. (This was told to me by my PLD friend who tagged along with a JP Dynamis LS on shiva. He said they have done Xarcbard so many times, they made it look easy. He also said that all 64 people died 2 times, everyone recovered and in less than 10 minutes they were fighting again.)
Anyway, Valor gear is in no way, shape or form, easy. If you see any PLD with any AF2 you should know, they know their stuff, /salute. You see a PLD in FULL AF2... well... that just deserves a /kneel.
Note: Valor armor is not the best for tanking HNMs, etc. It id designeed to make a well rounded PLD. Valor gear would be the best EXP gear ever... sadly there is no EXP after 75.
But IN MY OPINION, it is far more challenging to get full AF2, than it ever would be to get full koenig. HMNs are easy compared to dynamis... a good steady Dynamis team would OWN any HNM (and I dont mean 64 people--most dyanmis teams have about 18-30 who are the team, and they pick up the other players here and there.) But dynamis takes alot more teamwork and strategy than an HNM ever would. On the flipside, I've seen HNMlses get DESTROYED at dynamis.
So this is a description of what you need to do to obtain AF2... hope it was everything you expected, and I hope I did it some justice. And I apologize for those who were too rude to explain something to someone seeking knowledge, and instead flamed them for asking relavant questions to a topic.
Good luck to all of you who seek the challenge of obtaining this gear.

Updates:
I now have all 3 city AF2 Drops: Valor Leggings (Windurst), Valor Gauntlets (San d'Oria), and Valor Coronet (Bastok), I also picked up a RNG AF2 Cap from Jeuno, because no one needed it. So I'm leveling RNG to 75 now <.<;
I also Have completed the first 3 stages of the Relic Sword, so now, I have the Dynamis Sword, and I just need the Attestation of Glory from Dynamis-Beaucedine. Then I *think* I'll be able to do the 'Knights of Round* Weapon Skill in Dynamis. (but there is rumor that you need like 100 L. Jadeshells to upgrade it after the Attestation of glory is obtained)
Anyway, I'm not sure if I made it clear before, but AF drops in dynamis are totally random, and can drop from anything, and also from my extensive dynamis experiences, TH doesn't seem to have any effect on dynamis AF2 drops, however, what DOES seem to affect the drops, is if the runs have been done recently...
Say... you enter right after another group exits, it seems that very little AF drops... BUT, if you enter a Dynmais that has not been attended in a few weeks, drops seem to fall from the sky. The MOST number of drops I have ever seen in dynamis was 11 from dynamis bastok: 2PLD AF2, 2BLM AF2, 2BST AF2, 2 SAM AF2, DRK AF2, RDM AF2, THF AF2. Least AF drops from dynamis: 0AF2 I dunno how many times that has happened.
Anyway, g/l at dynamis!

I'm getting closer and closer to level 75, I can't wait to get the PLD Relic Armor, though i'm sure the quests for it will be a pain.
This is a Dynamis drop, meaning you need to lot against potentially any other Paladins who join you in that Dynamis. This isn't a standard quest and I would easily say getting a full suit of Relic is INCREDIBLY time consuming.

Thank you so much PLD AF2 Looks Awesome!!! I'm sooo excited... ^^
What are the last two armors at the bottom of that page? This whole page looks like a server rip, so are they AF2 for new jobs unreleased?
The two armors at the bottom, if you're talking about the brown and red, are the Austere set ( SMN only armor, not AF)and the Scorpion armor.
Hmmmm, i do not speak japanese/chinese or whatever that was, however, some of the armor there (like Darknight, and Samurai) look just like the artifact armor, but then there is armor there like pal relic, and dagoon relic that are obviously diffrent, so um, could some1 clear this up 4 me?

None of them look exactly the same, some do look similar though. Those are tiny pictures as well, so it's hard to see them clearly. For much better pictures, and more of them, go here:

Shouldn't be too hard to navigate without knowing Japanese, I do it all the time. :P They have very large pictures of both a front and back view of the AF1 and AF2 sets for all races, as well as RSE. Open both the AF1 and AF2 pics of the jobs you think look the same and compare them, you'll see a difference.

Anyone have a picture or any other info on this item? Any updates would be greatly appreciated.
