Wyrm Mail  

Doing dynamis tonight and hope to get this piece 3/5 on relic armor. If nothing else the piece just looks kick ***. Much better then the AFv1 Grape armor.

Very fun piece to play with (^-^)b
so far i've tried and been successful with:
/whm:Magic Def. Bonus(Tested on Bomb toss), Auto-Regen(nice for soloing, reduces uses of spirit link)
/war:Double Attack(Obvious and also very nice), Attack Bonus(hits for about half of your damage instead of ~1/4)
/blm:Magic Atk. Bonus II (Significant increase to base breath damage)
/sam:Store TP(from 5 to 11 TP per hit)

and thats only scratching the surface of what this can do...
btw, if you dont know its function, its used when you call your wyvern or zone with your wyvern already called, and it gives one(1) random subjob TRAIT to your wyvern.

I cant find what drops this in the database here can some1 tell me please?

its a Lv 35 JA.
Being your Lv 75 you should know this.
Once i hit 70 i spammed WC on SC to benefit the closers.

On topic: Not sure about it giving /ja, give me proof, I myself have the armor. Send me tell on seraph to Slayerxox. Ive done some research but i never knew i had to have mail on upon summoning.

I was very fortunate to receive this just last weekend. When I returned from Dynamis, I went to immediately do some experimentation. For the testing, I went into Folanberry Fields using the bats, bees, goblins, weapons, and morbols as my guinea pigs. I also made sure to unequip my weapon, and let my wyvern do all the tanking/attacking. I experimented with Warrior, White Mage, Samurai, and Monk support jobs.

First of all, support job "abilities" are not granted. Nothing was added to pet commands. Your wyvern isn't going to provoke a monster off of you, or steal a pretty little coin. It also won't divine seal it's healing breath. The description of the armor is poor - abilities and traits are extremely different.

/WAR: It took a while to notice anything. When I first equipped the Wyrm Mail, my wyvern was doing 4 damage than normal. I assumed [attack bonus] was affecting him. However, I also recently attained level 75, so I was not sure if the armor or level was affecting his hitting. I did some equipping/unequipping, to sort of "reset" the support job trait granted to your wyvern. After some time, he finally double-attacked.

/WHM: Thinking the equipping/unequipping factor may "change" the random trait granted, I equipped the Drachen Brais for +10% Wyvern HP, and waited. After equipping the Wyrm Mail at three different times, Auto-Regen had been granted to my wyvern every time. This made me wonder if a certain sub granted a constant trait.

/SAM: Was easy enough to check. Checking wyvern TP after each hit, he was gaining 9% per hit at times. Store TP had been granted.

/MNK: Sounds peculiar, but this was the most important, and somewhat disappointing fact-revealer. For this, I equipped the Wyrm Mail -after- I summoned my wyvern, to see if [Max HP Bonus] would kick in, much like +10% Wyvern HP kicks in when you equip the Drachen Brais after your wyvern is already out. No dice - no Max HP increase. Right there it told me that you wyvern does not receive -all- support job traits - little bit of a downer, but any single trait to your wyvern is still pretty cool and fun. I fought a -lot- of targets, and my wyvern simply did not counter. I assumed Subtle-Blow kicked in.

I apologize for the length of my post. It seemed that there was still a lot of mystery behind the Wyrm Mail, so I decided to share my findings. I'm still having some fun testing some sub jobs, like /BST for some random killer effects and /RDM for the next-to-nowhere possibility that [Fast Cast] might make my wyvern execute healing breath with less "casting time". I'll just have to keep playing around.

Based on the info I've gathered thus far, it seems your wyvern does in fact receive ONE(1) -random- support job -trait-, and it seems to change-up when you re-equip the Wyrm Mail.


The abilities and appearance of the Wyrm Mail are quite rewarding. Good luck to all who search for it.

wait so does this mean if you go drg/thf with TH, your wyvern may get TH too? that would be awesome lol

so what exactly does this armor do?????

This armor is great but my support job is Sam so the Job Trait ability kinda sucks >< My Advice is to try a warrior the Wyvern might use Double attack.

Lenwei, 75 DRG on Ragnarok, and my LS leader has this armor. It adds a passive trait from your subjob to your wyvern.

Support Job = Sub Job as we all should know. Abilities = the abilities used by the job

It doesn't say Support Job Traits, it says Support Job ----- Abilities. Plain english.

wouldnt it say random or passive if it gave those traits, it doesnt exsactly specify which abilities it gives. wouldnt it be safe to assume that it gives job abilities but not traits?

Confirmed on the IGN boards; this only adds ONE random PASSIVE trait to your wyvern. So your wyvern could end up with 'Resist Silence', or possibly 'Clear Mind', or some other equally useless trait. It will not give the wyvern active traits such as Provoke or Invincible (though seeing a wyvern suddenly use the Ninja's 2-hr would, personally, scare me to death).

The funny part is...that when you find out I'm right...your the one that's going to feel bad. I have seen it for myself. Besides how much more obvious could this thing be anyway...



ADDS SUPPORT JOB ABILITES TO YOUR WYVERN

Could the damn thing be any more specific you dolt!?

I sub THF with my DRG. When I get this equip. will my wyvern be able to sneak + trick?
