Powerful and questable items like Black Belt/Evoker Ring for all jobs.

I'd hope for something more interesting than this, at least. [As it's basically be a slight upgrade from Rancor Collar for most of us.]
But, I do like the idea of job specific equipment that doesn't suck, regardless of the effort to make it.
Just hope it's worthwhile, like Black Belt.

My Original concept was

Lv.99THF Neck
DEX+6 AGI+6 Haste+3%
Critical hit Rate +6%
Critical hit Damage +6%
Occ. Evades Physical Attack +5%

(Note: with Haste+3%, Full THF AF3+2 can be worn with 26% haste still possible)

Then i thought to myself it might be too powerful and fall into the realm of "Impossible"... then i thought "well it could happen if the quest was extremely hard"... then i thought "Well, I can't really think of a really hard quest..." to which i thought "Maybe make it just a good item thats an upgrade to whatever"... I thought Critical hit rate, and as such i thought it would need to then beat Rancor Collar (which as it stands is the best TP/WS Collar for a few jobs ATM).

So that idea was born. Truthfully, I want it to be on the level of broken that is Black Belt... But IDK. The item i settled on seemed rather "powerful" considering the other alternatives we currently have for neck armor.

But regardless, trust me when i say I re-wrote the charm dozens of times in my head trying to come up with something unique, realistic, and powerful.

Also, More interesting? >_> Condescending much =.=a? I thought it was rather interesting... took a long time to settle on that. Could be more overwhelming, But i tried to keep it a bit realistic.

I think your idea was brilliant, Karbuncle. My favorite part of FFXI is the storylines, and I think your quest would fit in perfectly.

Ooh, I like the megazoid one! Since I am a RNG and we are Green does that mean I can play a flute and my zoid will come and open a can of rape or does that only apply to BRDs? ;o

Only Vajra-wielding Thieves may summon the Dragonzord, to make up for having put months of their life into making something so disappointing and goofy-looking.

About the potency of job-specific stuff, it seems that recently SE isn't afraid to put really awesome stats on equipment if only 1-3 jobs can use it and it has a focused purpose. As the number of jobs on a piece becomes larger or the purpose becomes broader, the piece of equipment either becomes harder to obtain or the bonuses become smaller.

I think Krabnuckle is onto something about Haste being the tipping point for a piece that's also good for weapon skills/job abilities, given how most new equipment looks.
