Weapons at 99

New weapons are going to happen regardless. This was a suggestion to bring back an old idea and put a new spin on it. Also I think weapons like these would mean more to the players and the jobs that they play and enjoy.

I'll pass on Beat Cesti +2. Also, people need to stop messing around with fake Dev Tags or altering existing Dev Tags. The Dev team made them for a reason. Everyone, and I mean Everyone on these forums thinks their idea is the best thing since sliced bread (see: "Best new ideas" thread). If anyone could use Dev tags, every thread would have them. It's disruptive, and it's horribly improper.

I think besides finishing off your relic/mythic/empyrean they should add the Ultima series for 99. Having it start as the AF base would be fine by me, but I'd love to have those big crystalline looking Ultima weapons.

It was an exaggeration, yes, but it is rooted in reality. The AHs are more or less empty in the mid-levels now, and that's partially because few people buy mid-level gear, so no one bothers to sell it. Another reason is of course limited AH slots and having to put an item back up for sale 10 times before it sells.

Personally, I haven't keywhored any jobs in abyssea, mostly because i think it's more fun to duo and trio with a few friends. But yeah, we don't really need new gear or upgrades of gear in the mid levels, just a better supply of the items that already exist.

I think it would be a neat addition to upgrade the AF1 weapons. However, they should be given utility stats (similar to the stats on AF1/AF2 armor), not stats for DD. Ex: +TH on thief weapon, +shadowbind duration on rng bow (or widescan range?), +jig duration on dnc weapon. They could essentially be macro gear for job abilities.

I guess they could make af weapons upgradable to maybe be like a mini mythic (something to improve on a job ability) but I would not make them too "beefy", maybe an alt to doing common magian quest weapons?

They could like... give them dynamis drops and make +1 versions of them to benefit the job in some way
