Any chance we can keep the stats on the lvl 89 Job Specific weapons?

[ManaKing]

There is a Job specific weapon at lvl 89 for every job. The locations of all the weapons are in Aby and they all have very job oriented stats on them. They offer utility in areas of jobs that are generally very difficult to find. They enhance the natural strengths of the job or make the job more pleasant to play. They are the kinds of improvements that make individual jobs interesting for me.

What it boils down to is that they are awesome toys, but very few of them will actually be used as players continue to progress on their characters. With the possible exceptions of BRD, RNG, and COR, all of the utility that is offered by these weapons will be overridden by the prospects of better DAMAGE.

I would love to be able to hold on to these stats. There are several approaches that could be taken to preserve the features of these weapons in forms that could be used in the future.


They could be transformed into other equipment like accessories, ammo pieces, and grips.
Become an unlockable job trait that is named after the weapon. (I.E. Widowmaker, Honorbound, Triplus)
Added to an endgame weapon. I would think that Mythic Weapon is best suited for this, since that is the theme of them anyways and they are job specific. Relic and Emp being non-Job Specific would make this more complicated.

The SCH's Siriti (with Sublimation +1) is a good macro piece.
Not Useless at all.

Those stats are nice and I do find it difficult not using them but ya know, if something is better, then something is better and those stats just don't matter as much in practice as they do on paper. But they make great weapons for those that do not carry the best of the best and I'll just say that it's getting old hearing how the best of the best is easy to get. Because it's not easy for anyone who is not going through a LS or boxing an extra character or shouting for a PUG. These methods are the exception, not the standard. And I say that with confidence as a person who considers Empy farming as easy. I'm just not going to have a narrow minded view on the matter anytime soon.

What would really be easy is every job being able to solo every NM without the need of a brew or abyssites or atmas and where key item drop rates were 100% without the need to proc red. Or if Abyssea worked on a points system where you got 100 points for every hour spent in Abyssea and those points could be spent on Empyrean gear and weapons. Or insert any number of easy methods. The word "easy" gets slung around worse than a battered housewife. It takes A LOT of work to get into the position to be calling Empyrean farming easy, and not everyone is willing to do it. And so these lv89 weapons and all others like them that come for "free" as NM drops are great subs for those players. And while I feel that one day I will look around me and see most people holding on to Empyrean or even relic weapons, that's not going to be anytime soon because I'll say this yet again, right now I'm looking around in Jeuno and the only person within sight that's holding an Empyrean is myself.


Oh wait! Before I could hit post a kanni NIN and Ukon WAR ran by. Yeah I'm wrong everyone has an Empyrean now my bad. /sarc

Rather, I'd want them storable on slip 8.
