109/119 Empyrean Armor, Can we have it?

[sweetidealism]

Personally I hope it has nothing to do with Abyssea at all. The less time I have to spend there, the more I will enjoy the game.

Hello!

While I can't give you a specific implementation time at the moment, rest assured that Empyrean armor reforging is on the way!

This makes me very very happy. I loved all of the jobs' Empyrean Armor~

I'm curious as to how they're going to go about this in terms of reforging armor.

Maybe they'll add harder Abyssea content like a Zone Boss II similar to Dynamis Mega Bosses or
Voidwatch? I'm interested to see how they're going to play this out!

Hopefully it's just existing items and chapters used in the reforging process. A lot of it is annoying enough to get.. and not to mention annoyingly expensive.

Worse, 20 colorless souls per piece, for 109, then 100 Heavy Metal Plates for 119.

I have been making cracks about Colorless Souls for Empy reforges for MONTHS and people just glare at me.

I'm telling you people, imagine the worst. Then at least you won't feel gut punched if it happens and you'll be pleasantly surprised if it doesn't!

If it works like reforging relic to 109, I wouldn't be surprised if it's something like 50/25/0 souls to reforge NQ/+1/+2 Empy, on top of chapters and ingredients (and the job-specific ingredients may very well still be various zone boss drops).

I'm going to go out on a limb, though, and guess that 119 Empy is going to require trophies from Legion as its job-specific ingredient on top of something we're really not expecting for slot-specific ingredients. (The Einherjar-specific abjurations, maybe? That'd cover the remaining endgame events that haven't been made semi-important again, I think.)

That'd be awful. Please, no Legion. Or more Voidwatch crap. For the love of god.

I never said it was a good idea, but there has been a theme of "let's make events that are dying relevant again" throughout this.

Here's what I'm calling: 109 upgrade items will be bought from NPCs, the same ones that sold you the base items for Empy armour, with feet items found in gold chests.

119 will drop from a new BCNM fight in emperyal paradox.

I'm not gonna dig up a link because it doesn't matter, but they did originally say that.

I don't know how this could be true. The Chapters that are used to upgrade Relic and Artifact to 109 are called REM CHAPTERS. If you read the description on each, they are basically pages in history about a guy conveniently named "REM". What does REM stand for? Hmmm, lets see...

EMR
REM
RME

OH - RELIC - EMPYREAN - MYTHIC.

Since the pages were originally used to upgrade artifact, and then relic, and only seemed logical that it would then be used to reforge empyrean. yeah, I know that doesn't seem to go in line with the whole "RME" theme, since there is no "mythic armor". But the concept of the reforge system and the name of the chapters all but gave away what the plans for revamping this gear was, a long time ago.

Maybe I was a nerd and thought too much about this that I fel it was an absolute certainty. Even though SE denied it, i really felt like they were onto something, and it was only a matter of time until it was implemented.

Calling it now, they are going to use crystal petrifacts and silver mirrors. Cause they like licking up the tears of people who threw out voidwatch trash.

Hate to break it to you, but empy armor is ... FROM Abyssea. The chances of it not requiring anything from abyssea are slight.

You can't dig it out because it never happened. They said all along they would be upgrading empy.
