Artifact Gear for Rune Fencer

[Razielrinz]

My question is did they load this when these jobs went live since people can (and did) hit 50-60 relatively quickly or are we gonna be waiting 6 months to a year to get these quests to get our Artifact gear? Anyone know?

[Kojo]

No AF yet, probably next update, when they add RUN/GEO genkai 5.

they like tosee how the job is used a bit befor adding it so to give the best stats

This.

Plus, if SE is smart, our AF will be level 80-90 or they will add our endgame gear at the same time when they add the AF -- which could increase the time it takes for us to get it. (By the time AF comes out, most people will have RUN 99)

I like the look of the RUN AF we've been seeing. It'd be nice if it'd be good at 99, though I doubt it will be.

[Razielrinz]

Thanks for the answers and yes I like the idea of level 99ish Artifact since by the time they release it most people will have it 99 and by most I mean everyone who wants to play as it. I also noticed no merits for either Geo or Run yet so yea probably next update sometime in the next 3 months.

I would much rather have the traditional 50-60 AF. Followed by Relic and Empy gear. I'm not going to be rushing the job to 99 and actually wear AF!!

[Razielrinz]

even if your not rushing with FoV and GoV it still will not take long to hit 99 and definitely less then the 3 months+ they will take to release it.

[Sapphire]

You assume I'm going to level either job in the next three months. And eventually other people will unlock it in the future. Kinda insane to have two jobs that don't follow the conventions of 20 other jobs. Bad enough about the whole REM issue.

[Razielrinz]

I am just saying that for the majority of the people Run will be 99ed before they ever release merits or Artifact for it. It would be cool to have them drop it all at once but well look how long Blu and the like took.

i would like to point out that for sch and dnc and cor pup and blue the af was still used at cap or peases of it were/are

If PUP or DNC was used at 75, it was due to lack of anything better.

[Firebert_Lakshmi]

I'd say keep them at the traditional levels. They could be good gear for those levels, and hopefully remain good macro pieces.

That's exactly why PUP's still wear AF, becuase outside of ACP, SE refused to give them +Pet gear on a regular basis until Abyssea.

They are likely going to release AF, Relic, and Empyrean at the same time.

The only real question is how they'll make it work. Adoulin is 99+ content, Empy is <99 content. We'll see where they fit it in, I imagine Relic will be dynamis just like other jobs and Empy will be from simpler quests to avoid people bombarding and making it hard to get it done.

[Shibayama]

Odds are they'll release the AF within a week or two with the geo/run genkai. Then they'll probably release the relic around june or so when they release merits for the job (though I could be wrong and it could be sooner - i'm hoping it's sooner since I'm leveling run atm)

As for Empyrean? Who knows - they'll probably wanna give the job some growing room to see how players are using it, ect. I do know however that the geomancer empyrean armor already has concept art though - it's the blue eskimo hood looking thing like in FF3. They showed it in a JP stream just before the release of the expansion.

Emp gear is easy to add in, put the seals on NMs that do not currently drop seals, and put the +2s on NMs that currently do not drop +2s. A list of possible NMs choices is included below. I didn't include all NMs, but most of the NMs that have no seals or +2 currently which they could be added to.

I meant that the trouble will be the rampant rush to attack these mobs, not selecting ones ot put the seals on.
