A Simple Request from Thieves: An upgrade to Thief's Knife.

Why'd they nerf our medals ?

I liked my 4 shiny gold ones. Now i down to 2 again.

What BC idea?

Not trying to derail anything, but I can't see where the Joyeuse/MKris could qualify for the argument (Both have replacements via Magian trials (2xA Khanda +2 or 2-4xA Parazonium+2), though I can see the Vulcan Staff being an issue, save for one thing: Neither Ranger or Corsair (The usual suspects for VStaff's benefits) get any native staff skill anyway, so you'd be using it just for the STR/RAtt bonuses. Thief's Knife, on the other hand, has neither saving grace. And I personally like the idea of a Synergy upgrade just from a logic standpoint, since the Sky weaponry also is upgradable. It wouldn't stand out as odd, as opposed to the Magian trials since the only magian trials that aren't on new weaponry are on Relics/Mythics. As much as I love and am stuck with my TK, it doesn't seem to fit among that august company. Not that I wouldn't be thrilled if it was a Magian trial (My Synergy's only level 2 at the moment because until recently I couldn't afford to skill it up (Darn expensive fewell...)

Sorry got people mixed up. Edited my post to remove the slander.

Cor can't use Dagger or Sword Magian weapons.

Edit: Also sky gear is endgame content from an endgame event. Thief's Knife is just a drop from a NM and unrelated to any endgame event. If TK dropped from a sky/sea/salvage/etc NM then I'd agree with your point.

I agree with noodles. Offhanding TH isn't bad in the first place. I still believe THF isn't a real DD, especially not in Dynamis or similar events (Olddyna, that is). But with the TH set knives, you'd still have replaced the Thief's Knife, and still got a useful DD ish set going. Are you mad that you can't use Mandau then? Well, that's like BLMs complaining they can't use Claustrum. Some jobs weren't meant to DD or even melee during certain events. THF has many issues, but this isn't one of them (making TH useful, on the other hand, is an actual issue).

An upgrade to Thief's knife would be great. Using synergy to add random augments would be crap - please don't use synergy. My preference would be to have a stand alone quest for upgrade to an existing thief's knife or, at worst, a Magian trial. Please do not add any additional weapons with TH or we will be forced to dual wield two crappy weapons.

I honest to god can't tell if you're joking or not.

No .

Keep THFs knife the way it is so people don't have an excuse to full time it.
