Empyrean Weapons and Rune Fencer

[Dawnn]

I would formally like to ask the dev's if there are any plans for empyrean weapons to be equippable by Rune Fencer and Geomancer. Dancer and Scholar came out post-relic era and were not added to any relics, which makes me question whether Rune Fencer and Geomancer will get their own respective Empyrean weapons or Mythic weapons. I would like to build an Almace to celebrate Rune Fencer's addition but I'm hesitant to do so at the moment. Any information or response would be nice, thank you for your time! :cool:

They will because they'll be on the trial weapons. Seeing as how bar relic/mythic/emp these are the endgame weapons.

I don't think you should be so fast to say "these are the endgame weapons." There's absolutely nothing stopping SE from introducing another set of endgame weapons parallel to them... Zilart had Relics, ToAU had mythics... Abyssea add-ons brought us Empys... Who's to say this new expansion won't have its own new weapons. You're playing an MMO, never expect your hours and hours of farming and grinding for the best of the best to continue being the best...

You're forgetting that Zilart brought relics, CoP had nothing, ToAU had mythics, WoTG had nothing, add-ons had empys, and if it continues the chain SoA will have nothing.

[Twille]

This game does NOT need another rendition of end-game side-grades of either weapons or armor. I sincerely hope they add the new jobs to existing weapons or add new weapons to the existing relic/mythic/emp sets.

[Komori]

CoP and WoTG also didn't have exclusive battlefields or mobs in which they could make a trial off of. But there's been shown there will be some kind of battle system for the new expansion so there might be new weapons.

[RushLynx]

Well, WoTG had Campaign, which did have the special Campaign weapons... but they kinda sucked and not many people payed a whole lot of attention to them...

CAMATE! I summon you!

they stated that rune fencer main weapon will be great sword...

How does one "fence" with a two-handed weapon? <.<;

I wouldn't be surprised if new ultimate weapons were added. The point is ToTM weapons are going to stick around, there is no way they will not add the jobs to these weapons. Maybe not a Mythic, and definitely not the Relics, but they will ToTM.

They already stated they'd be getting Empyrean armour, so it's not a hard stretch to assume weapons as well.

With unbelievable difficulty.

The same way we "fence" using Daggers, Swords and Katanas, by smashing the enemy in the face.

The name wasn't fixed yet though, right? It could be Rune Knight as well. That name fits a great sword user better then Rune Fencer. It should have access to empy Caladbolg, although relic Ragnarok would be dubious given past experiences with new jobs. And a mythic greatsword to fill in the gap, although I wonder what name it'll have. Most legendary swords already found their way into the game. (Sword of a Thousand Truths, perhaps ;)

[Chrisstreb]

for Rune Fencer (and Geomancer) I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were put onto Empyrean Weapons, and/or get their own Mythic Weapon (though highly unlikely with the 2nd). Geomancer I could see being put on the Staff (not as likely on the club), and Rune Fencer on the Great Sword (since it seems to be their 'expertise'. Of course we'll see what they decide to do). I could be wrong though, and they might add a 'Bell' Empyrean, like they did with the Harp/Shield. As for the Empyrean Seals for their AF3, I would not be surprised if they add seals to the NMs in the Heroes and Scars zones that dont currently have Seal drops (like Isgebind in Ulegeurand, or that Ladybug NM in Vunkerl (for example)). Relic Armor from Dynamis (probably, why change things now?), and of course their own questline for Artifact Armor/Weapon.

I doubt they add a whole new weaponskill for GEO, so it's probably a club like the currently existing noisemaker emotes. It could also be a ranged slot item like a harp/animator, but there wasn't a mythic animator, so I'm leaning to no. Time will tell.

[ManaKing]

I assume Rune Fencer is going to get it's own Mythic Great Sword, since there isn't one. Caladbolg seems likely, if someone from SE would confirm it, I would make mine over the course of next month. Relics aren't given out for W/E reason is most convenient, so Ragnarok seems unlikely.

I don't suspect an Almace will be in their future, but it's not impossible.

I think most people have the impression that GEO will use it's ammo slot for it's bells, much like BRD does for it's instruments. If that's the case, it seems likely that they will get a main hand weapon as well. I would appreciate if their main hand weapon was an Axe, but I it feels like a reach right now.

You pick the fence up and swing it.

It's not ingame footage, but it looks like a club to me. The Galka is holding something in his right hand, which could be a bell. Maybe bells are equiped in the sub slot like a shield? We need a moogle spy...
