They don't give out those category of weapons due the simple reason they want things to be tested in their most raw form, making the weapons available would make testing fights useless, as you would be testing it with weapons that not everyone can get easily, that is why Abyssea/Trial+2, are available as they are easier to obtain.
Relics/Mythics/Empy?

The test server isn't for playing with toys you can't otherwise obtain. It's for testing new content and finding bugs.
how is an empyrean/relic/mythic weapon necessary to test new content?Quote:

They're going to give us an invincibility command for gosh sake, it wont matter what weapons you're using. -

Improvements to Job Specifics on the Mythics.
So forth. -

(edit note: Not any NEW ones. This turned out to be wrong, but I feel this clarification was necessary)

If they really need to know before changes go live, they can (if on pc) get on the test server themselves and find out, they don't need the bulk of us who don't have empy/mythic/relic weapons to do the testing for them. Unless they're a console player, but in that case there are still plenty of holders who play on pc and can test shit in their place.Quote:

See now, since the relic armors are now a subject of testing, it makes sense to be given those and fortunately, we already can be.

Knowledge of Relic hidden effects helps more than just people who are directly in possession of the item, it helps those looking to get the item and bothering to read up on their investments!
For instance, 95 Mandau and many other relics get an increase to their ODD/OTD proc, Which might influence a person to go for Mandau over Thwast. So forth.
Yes i only read the first sentence :D -
11-20-2011, 02:34 PMNynjaLetting everyone be able to take pics to post on ffxiah going "hi I have all relics lulz" is exactly what the test server is for though...Quote:
