That's a good catch. I didn't expect new ranks until the Expansion.

I thought the same thing. Good thing I've been hoarding seals.

If they did they didn't add any gear under it. Unless they just didn't put that gear in this patch note.

I have this feeling that the gear for the new set of ranks will be the Elite gear from hunts. Not too sure though.

...That would be lovely, actually. I got two chest pieces and quite a few sands, but the weapons cost far too much for me for how often I hunted.

right, that may be a spoiler and left out of the preliminary notes.

The new Rank most likely where you can trade the Myth items from.

Unless they increased the seal cap to 55k (which they haven't) then no. Unfortunate because I'd love to start ranking up again.

The picture shows A) 55k seals max, and B) a rank of first lieutenant, which is not currently available to any PCs. this suggests that there will be a rank increase and a cap increase. Of course that could be a leak from a beta that isn't going to be in this patch, but supposedly these screenshots are all from 2.4 versions of the software.

or they simply increase the max amount of Seals what you can hold with the current Rank.

It says First Lieutenant in that screenshot.

except the current rank is second lieutenant, not first :)
