New Mythics

[Aarahs]

I've been wondering if there was a timeline on the tentative date that we should be expecting the new mythic weapons. Also, is it going to be following the path for current mythics or will it be Adoulin?

No comments crying about mythics please.

Do you mean the job specific weapons they mentioned coming april 8th? Or do you mean the geo and run mythics they said would be coming out someday?

Well... Looking at this picture...

We see a RUN using a new kind of sword. Now the thing is we don't see Empyrean gear shown in here which I think can mean 1 of 4 things that I can come up with.
-They are raising the level cap to 128 like the new Delve bosses and upgrading our Relic gear to 128, that's why it's the gear shown in the picture.
-They are upgrading our Relic Accessories to 119 standards making them viable pieces of gear in today's game.
-They are giving us all new 119 AF weapons of some sort, which is why the RUN in the picture is using that sword which I have never seen before.
-They are releasing Mythics for the new jobs, again, RUN Sword points to this as a possibility.

the picture is of a galka and a taru...... it's obviously about the taru HP and galka MP upgrade. it has nothing to do with the gear they are wearing.

They have said a couple times they are releasing "job specific weapons" in april update along with tenzen and oryuo fights. the most likely option is these weapons will come for those fights but who knows really. And seconded the taru galka thing is the HP/MP adjustments. Note below is the first time i have seen them say Job specific equipment instead of weapon like they have the previous couple times. I am hoping that the geo club will have a crazy look like the concept art of new clubs we were gonna be gettin before SoA came out yet havent seen any of in game since that Run sword looks pretty unique.


Cargo on this ship includes new high-tier mission battlefields with Tenzen and Ouryu respectively, new job-specific equipment, racial stat adjustments such as increases in Tarutaru HP and Galka MP, and a variety of adjustments to make adventuring in Vana'diel more convenient than ever.

Isn't he talking about the Elvaan on the right not the 2 guys in the middle? I mean unless the Elvaan is in reference to "a variety of other adjustments to make adventuring in Vanadiel more convenient than ever" he isn't wrong to speculate...

Exactly the first pic has to do with the new battlefields the 2nd one is about taru/galka changes. The 3rd one is most likely the talk about new job-specific equipment. However given the fact they didn't say something like adding stuff for run/geo like they did when adding af I feel it's probably safe to assume they are adding something for everyone. Given the current trend I wouldn't be suprised if it might not be reforged af weapons

Hmmm looks like the armor isnt peach so that would be artifact for the RUN no? They almost always show players in pictures in relic or artifact gear in pictures for updates and news (So we can easily identify what jobs might be getting adjustments). But like i said already they mentioned Job specific weapons multiple times, and since they started mentioning that, this is the first time i seen them use the word equipment. Lot of people I know seem to think empy armor reforge is right around the corner, which would be nice but i feel it might be at least 2-3 updates down the road. But i was pretty surprised at how fast relic reforge came after artifact. a couple dev posts i been checking out lately almost make it sound like they wont be reforgin anything after artifact which would make me a sad panda if true.

Heh for all we know it may just be an improvement on the costume system :rolleyes:

I can't quite agree with that. Well, the end-notion of it, that is.

If my eyes are not deceiving me, the galka is a white mage, while the tarooo is a paladin. Would you not agree that a white mage would like more MP while a paladin might enjoy a heftier pile of HP?

They do seem pretty happy about something to say the least. :)

If it's AF weapon upgrades it'll mean sch actually gets one for the first time unless SE screws them over again and gives them an even more powerful version of their AF spell.

Idk, maybe I'm nitpicking, apologies.

It's only used today because of what it does. If it wasn't needed to get the most out of the other spells it effects then it would be as lol as brd's paper knife.

[Demonjustin]

My point was that another spell wouldn't be bad, if anything, it would be the best thing a job could get. I mean, even if they add 119 weapons for AF weapons chances are that they will all be weaker than the Delve weapons, Boss weapons, or RME weapons otherwise why get them? Not saying they would be for sure, but if they are, then 119 AF Weapons would be catchup weapons like the RoE gear and wouldn't be true top tier gear. SCH, or any job with a AF Spell rather, would have a use for theirs regardless of it's level or weakness provided a decent effect and if not then oh well, it would be another spell in the pile of useless ones no different than the weapons would be.

Um everything is only used because of what it does.... unless you are town gearing it up <.<
