RUN AF, Relic, and Emp Armor and general update info

[Kojo]

So, with all the info being given to us, where is the RUN info? What about new stuff RUN is getting? The AF we are supposed to get? What is the set called? We wanna see them stats! Also, by "Artifact" did they only mean AF gear or was it a blanket term for all three sets? The suspense is killing me.

So, what are we getting?

Id also like to know WHEN we are getting this stuff. I want my merits!

I hope the AF RUN gets enhance "Inquartata" that will recover HP a bit, another rune stock, grants bonus to regen spells, increased eva and parry, and/or create some occ. severe dmg effect. If they make empy I was just thinking that +2 effect will give some occ. HP recover from magic attacks or convert a % of dmg to MP.

If anything, this will be a group 2 merit.


another rune stock,

Going by previous history, this is more likely to be relic+1/2 gear, or emp +2 gear


grants bonus to regen spells

Relic gear.


increased eva and parry

more than likely 1 piece of AF will have parrying +10 and another will have eva +10. ! piece might actually be useful and offer +eva/acc to swordplay as a macro piece.


and/or create some occ. severe dmg effect

possibly we'll get this on empy +2 set. Other options are perhaps chance to counter when parrying, or occasionally grants 100%TP when parrying?


If they make empy I was just thinking that +2 effect will give some occ. HP recover from magic attacks or convert a % of dmg to MP.

Possibly, though PLD already gets occasionally absorbs all damage on the emp +2 set. If we get occasionally absorbs magic damage only, it had better have a much higher proc rate, and not be tied to having the right rune up.

Apparently Geomancer and RUN AF1 is going to be lv99 gear (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/34049-魔導剣士のAFの性能について?p=441943&viewfull=1#post441943). Take that for what you will.

Why the hell this is not posted in the North American forums also? SE doesn't pay any attention to the NA playerbase.

Probably would have helped for them to do the post on the general forums or maybe starting a topic in the GEO and RUN forums instead.

So cool! Lv105 gear!!!!

What does that mean, item-level wise they plan on them to be at least level 105?

If you go by this post (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/33458-Follow-up-Level-99-Relic-Mythic-Empyrean-and-Walk-of-Echoes-Weapons) which breaks down the content difficulty you can expect the AF to be as awesome as Bayld gear... I just hope that's the stats besides the ones that would boost abilities.

From Matsui:

I apologize that I cannot provide a more precise date, but we are planning for implementation in the early summer. (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/33077-I-feel-like-Delve-just-made-90-of-the-Adoulin-content-irrelevant?p=438619&viewfull=1#post438619)

So, perhaps anywhere from the last week of June to early July would be my guesstimation.

I just hope that the decent AF pieces aren't in the same slots as the decent delve/bayld pieces.

EG: Bayld head/body are great ws pieces (maybe some use body for TP, but I prefer the Oce+1 head/Toci's Harness combo). Delve legs are awesome for pretty much everything, except -PDT.

Edit: Yes, I know that when fully augmented, all apart from delve hands (maybe even delve hands?) are currently probably the best option, certainly if you need the acc. I doubt many people have managed to get many bits of gear to stage 15 yet though.

What I want for this AF armor :

Possibility to have 4 runes
Refresh 2 mp/tick
Increase buffs duration
Increase stoneskin effect (we can easily spam SS now with the 50% fast cast bonus from merit)
