109/119 Empyrean Armor, Can we have it?

[PlumbGame]

Whatever floats your boat. And I am not expecting anything significant to come out of FFXI. Just not the recycle-fest that is happening now.



Yes, clearly I imagined the whole ilevel system when I overdosed on reality. Clearly horizontal progression hasn't changed....sorry, I stopped reading after this.

lawls, your arrogance and ignorance shines again.

Personally, I'd also like to see some of the JSE/EMP accessories also find a way to be upgraded too. The Thief's Knife replacement is awesome, but there are a lot of other things out there that haven't had that chance. I play a SMN for the most part, and it's what I know best. But my Evoker's Ring hasn't ever come off (Unless you count those perverted Mobs that like to strip you... Yeah, I'm talking to you Lamias and Ironclads.) It'd be nice to see it upgraded to the Summoner's Ring(ilvl109), and then maybe the Caller's Ring (ilvl119). The Caller's Pendent is is nice with the Regain and powered up version of that would be pretty sweet. And I'm sure that there are other jobs with accessories that are just as good, and worth keeping.

On a completely side note, I'm surprised that there hasn't been an Extreme Mode for the Avatars. The did have some nice items from the Regular and Hard Fights back in the day.

i wish empyrean armor wasn't getting upgraded. i don't want to go back to putting on empy mnk body when impetus is up and taking it off when it is down. not unless they make the body so awesome that you can always TP in it.

Doesn't the RDM Empyrean kinda make up for that? D:

sorry to break your heart, but if gearswaping isnt a thing for you, you are playing the wrong game :X. XI was allways about gearswaps and sidegrades.

The same could be said about the level 30 ring that's still used in several TP sets, but so far accessoires have also been kept out of the whole iLevel deal and I think that's great.
To be fair, I don't think that one needs an upgrade. So far I have had no problems flooring my perpetuation, and by adding enough refresh gear I have a near permanent upkeep paired with refresh, Elemental Siphon and Convert.

And the pendant gives 25 TP per tick (new count), that by itself is also overpowered as hell from melee perspective.

Right now I am a bit reluctant about upgrading my Summoner Artifact and Relic gear because when it was released the Empyrian armor was fantastic.
Considering the stats on the current 119 pieces are only marginally better than Empyrian right now I am expecting that the 109 and 119 Empyrian pieces will blow some of those pieces out of the water again.

On a completely side note, I'm surprised that there hasn't been an Extreme Mode for the Avatars. The did have some nice items from the Regular and Hard Fights back in the day.

I would be all for that, and a new Bahamut fight with a sweet new shiny staff while I am still working on my Nirvana would be groovy as well.

I'd actually like to see a 119 maat fight for empyrean upgrades.

[Dawezy]

I miss the set procs from my empy +2 ;_;

Reforged +1 is good and all, but its missing that little edge that Empy equipment has.
(aside from being stupidly powerful stat wise lol)

[Olor]

I still use my emp +2 set for bard. Really isn't a lot to replace it. Looking forward to the reforge so I am less likely to get blasted to bits while singing songs in range.

overgeneralize much? I have no problem gearswapping when WSing, buffing, and the like. It's the time dependent swaps i don't like.... like swapping gear just because it's a certain time of day.
