Old rare gear you would like Upgraded

[Karbuncle]

If we get Salvage/Limbus upgrades ever, I'd rather they be Synergy Augments instead of once again having that gear being best of the best at 99. I see little point of going to 99 if they keep all our old armor better than the shit we got on the way up.

Besides, Even if it was just SYnergy Augments, the crap we got now is proof it could still be good.

I want some Summoner Luven finally with old gear upgrades.

Sky stuff completely ignores SMN, and the augments do so...somewhat.

Only Zenith Pumps seems the only thing that SMN gets with augments now...and even then, it is overshadowed by both relic and emp boots....

[Hayward]

At this point, I can't really say I regret not getting a Yinyang Robe. Not only does the Caller's Doublet +1 have superior stats--and the potential for even higher stats with +2--it requires far less trouble and frustration.

Kriegsbeil & Fransisca would be great upgrade choices for Rangers.

Zoraal Ja's Axe would be a great option if it were upgradable.

An upgraded Enhancing Sword would bring me back to RDM in a hurry.

On an upgraded Maat's Cap, I don't even want to think about the trial for that (knowing these guys, it would involve either the Maat of 20 years ago or his Abyssean counterpart, both being even stronger than the Maat we knew and dreaded at level 70.

They have something like this, the "Chimeric Fleuret".

Save the Queen. It's MESSED UP that they'd take the name of such a legendary sword within the series and let it go to waste.

Also, all I really, truly want is to have a haste SET that matches and caps me preferably with STP so I can stop having to resort to looking like a deranged hobo to have a 5 hit with capped haste. Aurum, or Ares sets would be good choices to give this treatment.

Also when was this supposed to happen?

Make sure you all stay tuned for the announcements coming up!

Tired of looking at the old gear. Whats the point of even releasing new gear if you can just upgrade the old crap. They really left the old endgame at the top for far to long with far to crappy of drop rates. Also what karbuncle said that sword looks to be fun from watching my friend play with it. I mean really I knew some one that quit over thier harby +1 was outclassed by noctus mail when it was released.

Yea, Sky gear with Augments more or less ignores SMN (bar lolMAcc on Z.Hands), but Hadean pieces do not. Pet:MAB is the guaranteed augment on Shadow Hat, and you can get Pet:Critical Hit Rate on Shadow Trews.

On topic, please for the love of all that is holy let us augment Salvage gear ASAP. That is all.

[Twille]

I don't understand what is with FFXI players insisting on upgrading old, outdated gear. The game has moved on, they've created something new. PLEASE, for the love of all that is holy, stop bickering the devs to tweak your old gear and let them work on something NEW.
Let the past be the past.

Only gear that really needs an upgrade is Salvage. Simply because it took ages to get and is on the same level as relic weapons in terms of time invested into it.

All the other gear is either already useful or has better replacements as mentioned by others.
