[dev1296] Aeonic Weapons

What

the

fruit and salad bowl?!

I'm going to be the first one to get one!

If I don't quit first because of the ridiculous bst nerf. x.x

very excited over this :D

I'll just wait to see what RDM can and can't equip before getting excited about it. XD

What will be needed to get them? Eschalixirs?

Just saw someone selling 20k+ alexandrites, seems ppl will start to sell currency/alexandrites asap.

Smn weapon with lvl+2 like nirvana, (Yes, please.)

be good to know what quests or missions has to be done beforehand so people can actually get them done, so they can be ready for it. and a list of the weapons and gear be nice to see, any chance of the list SE??

Very exciting :) I wonder if the new skillchain is Cosmic Elucidation

So are these going to be like mythic in that there is one for each job, or like empy and relic where there is just one for each type of weapon? Also what does this mean for people who have mythics? The job specific bonuses of mythics seem pretty hard to give up as well as their nice aftermaths. Will the Aeonic weapons give similar benefits?

My question is are R/M/E's going to be brought up to par. Yes some are still very good, but a lot are just vanity trophies at this point. I'm worried that Aeonic weapons are going to make R/M/E's even more antiquated. Regardless, I'm still excited to see these new weapons.

Hope Geo's Aeonic Weapon doesn't devalue Idris in anyway.

If it devalues Idris then it would have to be pretty powerful, inb4 GEO/NIN DW Idris + Aeonic Club.

Maybe it'll be a bell.

Very interesting.
I hope that it will take a Mythic/Relic/Empy to make these.
Esp if they are better than the current 119 R/M/Es
Because it would be sad to totally **** on the hard work people put in the R/M/E esp the M/Es.... XD

Would be a logical step but as it allows SC's beyond Light and Dark it's unlikely they'll do it with a Bell.

That said, I imagine a MASSIVE time-drain similar to the current Adoulin Weapons, to make up for the extended periods of nothing being added.

all weapons will undoubtably will be the best weapon for each job.... but lets see a list first lol.... im excited i hope pup gets a good one! pet: -MDT hopfully!!!

Since the description of the aftermath says it'll allow level 4 skillchains it sounds to me like the intent of these weapons is to provide melee options across all jobs. If this is going to be what makes each weapon special then is there room for these weapons to also add some class-defining ability the way many Mythic weapons do? I guess we'll see.

Glad to see everyone so enthusiastic about Aeonic weapons! I'd like to share some more exciting news.

To coincide with the implementation of Aeonic weapons, we will also be doing something for Relic, Mythic, Empyrean and Ergon weapons. We’ve kept you all waiting for a bit, but we will once again be making these weapons that hold a special place in your heart have an active role in battles. We’ll be announcing more details via topics and the forum soon.

Best weapon in your september 2015 update is Reikiko sword. I hope you don't hold back when it comes to making good weapons with damage taken -10%, weapon skill damage 10%+ and TP regain etc. Make elite player and casual player happy too.

The update to these R/E/M better be Good Grekumah. =) A lot of weapon i can list that aren't very good are relic axe, relic hand to hand, mystic dagger for DNC, Relic Pole Arm, and Relic Dagger the list goes on.

If there are plans to make Empyrean weapons relevant again, will there be changes to the availability of heavy plates, riftcinder, and riftdross?

I get the sense that SE doesn't care about Empyreans. They are still the hardest to 119, are generally the weakest of the RME choices, and their unique WS aren't unique. Would it surprise anybody if they remained at the bottom of the ultimate weapon hierarchy?

Not sure where this information is coming from... but I truly doubt it.

No, he speaks the truth.
The only place that Empy weapons were really "awesome" was in Abyssea, well then iLvL content came around, and we were able to get the weaponskills by doings a quest, and most of the Empy's fell in to last place behind relics and mythics.
Some are not as irrelevant as others, but the Relics of the same types and the mythic will almost always out perform them. I think I remember the GA was okay, and of course Ochain & Harp are relevant.

Hopefully this will also include some kind of update for Shield, Horn, and Harp. Though I'm not holding my breath.

Because the Shields really need an update....

The lack of shield skill on them really hurts the pld's block rate.

Ok, TBF I'll accept it would be nice for shield skill to be on them, though seeing how easy PLD tanks not necessary.

Dancer on Mandau, Blue Mage on Excalibur.

I know you have it in you, S-E.

Aoenic will surpass the SC of light and dark. .. Why not make like trading the same type of Relic, Mythic, Empyrean weapons to an NPC and upgrade to a super weapon. That may be more fair for those hard working guys.

Not across the board. Higher-tier mission fight and Unity enemies all have low enough combat skills (even on Very Difficult) that Ochain caps block rate with capped merits (possibly without). Similarly, Aegis performs very well here too. If they add shield skill, PLD is going to eat a nerf in the next few updates. Besides, unlike other RME, Ochain and Aegis still are the best among shields. The same cannot be said about other RME.

For me the point of Shield, Horn and Harp be included in the update is that they ARE Relics and Empyreans, and the people that built them worked just as hard as any other relic or empyrean holder. To be excluded from any update is not about how powerful they are currently, it is about lack of consistency across the board. If one gets an update ALL should get an update of some form or another or none at all.

The news that R/E/M are being even slightly upgraded brings me great joy. I've just about hit the very limit to what 119 Mjollnir can handle, and almost my entire ability to play that faucet of my job is incredibly limited by it. Not to say WHM melee is terribly important, but it felt so good winning battles as last-man-standing, finishing off the NM with a Randgrith.
Even if it was just to add accuracy to the club I would be stoked. I've held Mjollnir for a long time now, worked on making it for even longer, and long to see it participate in battle yet again.

Nonsense, If a weapon is already ridiculously powerful, buffing it would be a ludicrous idea.

Would be nice to buff BRD RME considering how ubiquitous GEO has become. And I would hope it has to do with potency rather than another song slot that can be dispelled.

No.

$#&@ no.

DNC has taken enough from THF already, but this is too much. Mandau is the one thing we have than DNC hasn't stolen from us. So I say HELL NO.

RDM on Aegis
War on Guttler

COR on Annihilator you say?!

Ochain could use a buff just to convince people to take it past lvl 90.
