The reason I'm wasting my time on it is simple, the pride of owning a pair. They're rarer than a BB and still quite powerfull. Plus you don't have to gather parties for VNM's to get them.

Yeah I admit, they don't do as much damage as Vere's, but when I'm already out damaging every other job on normal and crit hits, and I've only got savant fists.... then who cares about how much more I do?

One day I will have Vere's, but until then, I'm quite happy busting my balls on Spharai, and quite happy with the damage from my Savant's. Empyrean and Relic weapons are completely bonus items, rewards for hard work and dedication, so you should be choosing what you want, not just because one might be better than the other.

And remember, Enix holds the futures of FFXI in their hands, if you think Empyrean are going to be the last and best weapons, you may just be a little disapointed.
