  Step 7 will apparently be 30% success rate as opposed to 45%, but can still be affected by Aton Cimeni Anvil.
  
  Hopefully they'll have Protection Stone for this as well.
  
  As for now, R7 for two handed weapons is reported to be 74% bonus crit damage.

  This is honestly gonna be the only way to get me to R7 anything, for now I'm just gonna forget that step7 exists until then.

  Well, alternatively, you could be that one guy that hoards every mat and every stones and try to make as many step 6 weapons as possible... and then blow them up with these stones.
  
  I think this is going to be a challenge for players that already have well developed step 6 weapons. Are you going to risk the dangerous chance of your weapon blowing up, or are you going to be content with your power? It also depends on the availability of the weapons, but from what I can tell, this is harder to make than the other celtic weapons we had, and the same can be said about the celtic weapons we already have. The dungeons are known to be noticeably longer, and mobs are noticeably more powerful, as well as the fact that you can't abuse alts as easily anymore. Honestly, the revamped dungeons are still not the hardest thing to do, and I'm not even sure if the mobs are elemental immune or not, we'll figure out shortly. With that being said, I don't think I'm going to go for the step 7 luxury unless I can guarantee the safety of my weapons, because I'm already content with how I'm doing with the hardest contents in the game. The revamped dungeons are lot more challenging than before, but it's still not on the level of S or SS Alban.

  Honestly I'd do that if we were able to special upgrade without the need to do normal upgrades first.

  Well more challenging content is always welcome. If anything, the complaints for S or SS Alban is that it is too hard or too long. It certainly requires quite the bag of tricks to beat it as well as sufficient stats/power.
  
  Btw, next Saturday I plan on doing a live stream to cover the new dungeon updates.

  It took like YEARS for step 6 prot stones to appear. Probably will have to wait the same.
  Until then it'll be like back in 2011 where only koreans and crazy people had step 6 weapons and even then, only for the skillsets they mained.
  
  Although back then there was no trade unlock potion and there is now, so it probably won't be nearly as bad since throwing enough currency at someone can always get you what you want.
  
  Also, step 7 for blue magic weapons will probably be +100 magic attack if Rydian's chart in the data mines section is still valid (which it was for the 74% R).

  I don't wanna be a party pooper, but I'm afraid that new high difficulty content is gonna be "get swarmed by AHS mob" yet again. Not to mention that according to that chart, Peaca Abyss is still the hardest stuff as far as dungeons go.
  
  It's good that they are doing something, but so far it's just baiting people into dungeons with rewards instead of trying to rebalance combat. Again.

  
  
  Quality of life changes are good at least?
  
  Nah. I wouldn't be surprised if people suddenly get bored due to lack of legitimate challenge.

  I agree. But there's only one problem: the new dungeons are not contents that are harder than S or SS Alban, and at best will be as hard as Peaca Abyss.
  
  But of course, there's also variety aspect, in which I would say that these are great updates.
  
  By the way, to give you guys an idea of how long the renewed dungeons can be, here is a map of the renewed AAHM dungeon, 3rd floor. Only missing part is the boss.

  And apparently, the spawns are approximately doubled, as well as about doubled HP.
  
  Arachne is reported to have just a bit less HP than the Master Lich.
  
  The gold reward comes in a gold pouch, in this case it was 27k. There are also bunch of new enchants, although I don't think any of them are particularly worth looking over, but I will update when I get more info on them.

  I'm particularly interested in the new alchemy enchants(If any), and to see if they're better then existing ones.

  Most likely. Like when they created the Gospel cylinder they might have one that's Exclusive to the Tethra Cylinder? I'd really hope so. Although it might just be another Gospel Cylinder.
  
  What Im really hoping is that this cylinder will provide small percentages to all alchemic elements to outclass the Gospel cylinder. THAT WOULD BE LOVELY! :D

  Sad news for you, but probably isn't any, and looking at the trend of the new enchants, they don't seem very attractive.

  I'd like 2 know how step 7 looks like
  if conflict spamming 4 gold to buy dungeon drops instead of dungeons themselves is more worth it
  boots/gloves gender locked?
  
  also, you're not allowed to run as 8 anymore? (excluding abyss)

  It has a 30% Elemental modifier for all four elements.
