Level 99 Relic, Mythic, Empyrean, and WoE Weapons

[RushLynx]

Actually, they did. It was mentioned that Relics/Mythics (those specifically) would remain on top into the forseeable future. While i know they dont always hold to their promises, its not like they're far off bounds.

I would be interested in knowing the circumstances under which this was stated... as careful as they always are about saying anything conclusive about things that aren't already in the final stages of development... Was this when they first started giving them magian trials?

Derp derp um pet:treasure hunter+1 THEY ALWAYS SAY THINGS OUT OF THEIR ASSES BEFORE THEY GET THEIR STORY STRAIGHT. The bottom line Bisquik is that they not only said they would keep REMs on top but they also promised that we wouldn't have anymore trials. Now those of us that made these are willing to forgive the promise to not have trials and do some more(God have mercy on us all) and still be able to keep weapons we spent hundreds of millions of Gil on.

The end dude

Sorry, maybe I'm misunderstanding... you do know that some pets really do have Treasure Hunter +1, right? Also, Bisquik was an LS leader of mine that quit eons ago...

You're the first person I've heard claim that SE promised them that they wouldn't make them do trials... Where exactly was all of this said, these forums? The old POL page? I'm assuming these statements still exist, archived, somewhere... I'd very much like to read them.

"we will be implementing a system to build on R/M/E weapons"

how does that compare to "We are planning to unlock the special weapon skills"?

How is that the same as saying 'RMEs will always be on top and we're never going to make you do a trial to keep it there.'...?

If you wanna keep playing the devil's advocate, go ahead. I'll stop replying to the same questions over and over when it has been answered already in so many pages. Have fun.

Yes, god forbid we have a reasonable conversation about this... rather than constantly making unwarranted assertions, never backing them up and then attacking anyone who tries to find reason in them... Everyone knows, that's the best way reach mutual understandings about issues, just yell the loudest and dismiss anyone who disagrees with you.

Was THIII they nerfed it down to one, people complained and they said they would add equipment to bring it back up. The gear never came. Pretty sure that's what AldielQuetz's comment was referring to.

Screw trials, make a simple quest with the Inventors.

NPC:Ah, I see you have one of those super weapons we keep hearing about! We hear some Moogles from Jeuno were trying to unlock their true power, it seems they did a good job, but around here we have had to develop much more powerful weapons to deal with the monsters in the wilds. Have you heard of the Naakuals? Fierce beasts, some of the strongest things around, I hear some of you adventures have been taking them on.

Well heres the deal, they have crests which are imbued with really powerful magic, and with that magic I think we might be able to transform your weapons into even stronger weapons! Whats that? The Moogles said this is their most powerful form? Ha! Moogle magic is strong but the magic these creatures have stored in their crests is much more powerful. The catch is, we need some balance between them all, you see, these beasts have elements that go along with the magic stored, to much of any one element would be to hard to control and would break the weapon. Good thing for us is that there are 7 of them, 1 of each element would be enough to create a balance so we can infuse your weapon with those magics and create a real weapon, one which would make even the Naakuals themselves cower in fear! Now I understand asking you to bring down the 7 Naakuals seems like a lot of work, but I can assure you, their power when finished will be unrivaled except by those of their own caliber.

>Come back next game day<

Hmm~ I see you are back, but you do not yet have the 7 crests, well, let me make you a deal. Leave me one of your weapons to examine, it has to be at its final stage, anything sooner would be worthless for me to examine. I will look at it so I can gather more information on how exactly we will be infusing this with the Naakuals magic, once I finish, you can come back and retrieve it from me, I will use the data to get everything ready for you so as soon as you have the crests we can begin the process!

>Trade an R/M/E and wait till after the next JP Midnight<

Well well well, look who came back, I finished looking at your weapon, it seems infusing the magic to that thing will be a cake walk, there is only one thing. Originally we thought we would be able to simply infuse it with magic, well, we can, but to help you out with getting those crests we found we can actually take that special technique attached to it and allow you to use it with any weapon! Thats right, all that time you have been carrying around that weapon just for that ability, well, no longer, I can take any of those weapons you have me examine and learn their power, then I can basically copy that power and fuse it right into your body, so you can use it any time with any weapon you please. Using the 7 crests will still create an amazing weapon of course, but the ability itself is powerful as well, and I can understand if you only want that, after all, not many people are brave enough to take on those nasty Naakuals!

>Trade back the weapon<

Oh, you want the skill? Ok, comin right up!

>You see a flash, then a loud bang<

Well, the magic is a bit... explosive, but it gets the job done. There you are, the ability is all yours, it may not have the extra effects you would normally get with it, but its something right? Good luck out there!



For R & E you unlock just the WS, for Mythics you unlock the job altering power of the Mythic. In the case of DNC for instance you get +1 FM on your weapon, or for Yagrush you would get AoE-na spells and so on. This way everyone gains something!
