109/119 Empyrean Armor, Can we have it?

[detlef]

2 non-EX parts, 1 r/ex part from new event, and the original Empyrean +2 piece seems like a good bet. I doubt SE will be making us go back into Abyssea unless it's some future hard mode mobs. I think they are not going to require Rem's tales but we'll see.

Hard mode shinryu! Now with less atmas and no brews

You guys think empy will follow the 109-119 formula? I think it will jump straight to 119. 109 is completely useless now, so I don't see why they would force that on us. Rem's chapters 6-10, and drops from VW/Delve/New content. Nothing too complicated.

When they raise the ilevel cap, THEN it gets complicated, and challenging.

I think the quote said something about adding Empyrean armor for RUN and GEO as well as a way to upgrade it which sounds like the way they handled AF and Relic. Of course now I can't figure out where I read that so maybe I just made that up.

I guess the reason I think they will skip the 109 stage is because literally no content we do is 109 now, unlike when AF/relic reforge first came out- people were doing content that was doable in 109 gear, but now it's useless, except maybe as a macro swap to enhance an ability.

My prediction still using the rems but they will be the least of your worries as the materials you need will be some rarish drops from the new battle content combined with something silly from old content like lol legion drops

Ormolu ingots. You heard it here first!

My goldsmith would be so excited by that. 1. Misery loves company. 2. Maybe it might help the supply

[Artharian]

Well Empyrean-Armor-Reforging looks like it's 109 and 119 level and requires stuff from Vagary. Hopefully the materials will be available on the AH (and not ridiculously expensive!)

Art.

I gave SE too much credit I guess. Sure, make us take the completely useless step of upgrading the gear to 109 first.... just because. This is 5-10 extra chapters we need to farm for every piece guys. Stupid beyond belief.

time sinks Ramzi, time sinks. they didn't take away the requirement of beating the level 1 fights to do AA/DM2s, I assumed they were going to make us 109 these as well.
