Final form Magian Trial staffs - A request to change appearance

[Mayoyama]

I know the final forms of magian staffs have been around for a while, but I still feel it would be nice after having put in so much time and effort to get the 99 version of the staff to have at least an orb/jewel/pattern or some marking on it showing something different for each element. The current ones look so plain and dull.

have you seen the str sword....ugh

[Mostfowl]

All elemental weapons are ugly as sin. The dagger is beyond horrid and the staffs are completely lackluster. They could at least do something to make them special. They dont need to be as fancy as the empy but at least give them a different/unique look. They are alot of work after all, give us a little bling for the effort

at least having them use the same model keeps you from blinking whenyou change staves a lot. But still...the model is pretty meh...on the fence about whether to ask for orbs to represent the elements (a la Elemental Staves), but at least something better than a birdhouse on a stick.

I still think adding cosmetic trials to give you a handful of models to choose from for the final form weapon would be kinda cool. I'd make the trials something simple like the ones we did to unlock job emotes.

I idle in move speed legs so I end up blinking anyway every time I cast a spell for goetia +2 legs.

They could change the knob on the end of the staff to different colours and it should look fine. just some sort of variety would be nice

Unless there is profit to be found in doing this minor change expect to see that birdhouse-on-a-stick forever. But hey if your on PC no probs just dat swap.

[Reiterpallasch]

Even if they only reused the crappy ele stave model (which shouldn't be hard, they're already there), it would at least allow PC users to use custom dats per staff. As it stands now though, they all use the same 1 model, so it's impossible to change the dats to make them look different from one another.

[Meyi]

Oh God yes, some change between elements please. ;w;

Maybe they should look at MooshyWooshy's idea for the elemental staves. Those were gorgeous.

[Ophannus]

I wonder why they gave final form Sword and final form Axe a new graphic(not new but different than previous trials) but not other weapons. Axe's final form became the black model axe and Sword's model became the gold sword graphic.

Dude they should totally buy mooshy's planetarium type model! or freaking hire him as a model designer period that guy is awsome.

Like! This or like someone else said, a variation on the elemental staffs would be so nice. didnt see his post until now

I'd be happy if they just changed them from the pagoda-stick back to the elemental staff models. There was just something comforting about being able to look at the ball on the end and instantly know I had the right one on.

i think they should use the weapon glow effect on the tops of them that match the element the staff is. Just for show and would look cool in dark caves.

Apparently glowing is reserved for very special weapons so they probably won't do this for the common folk like us.

True, seems unlikely a glow would be put on a trial weapon.

I would be happy if I could change shikagar/shashmir into scimitar style swords. Never felt right using a straight blade on blu.

This, a thousand times. Especially for Almace.
