OP talks like this is going to happen.
It would be rather inconsistent with the rest of the trials to upgrade AF3,
that and I don't have any AF1 or AF2 other than blu body and hands, not anymore anyway.
Personally I was disappointed when I saw that AF3 stops at +2. I was really hoping that for once we would have a viable set (and I mean set, not just a few pieces) of AF for end game. I don't think 99 gear will eclipse AF3+2, but it's bound to be better.
Who knows though, they could always rename it or something for the +3/+4 version similar to how voidwatch gear goes from NQ -> +1 -> Different Name. And if they leave it as is, well, at least for once we got some truly useful (for the most part) AF.
I still think SE should have made the Lancer's Helm replace both AF & Relic helms with a combined effect. No meditate mod on Unkai also made me sad in the pants![]()
Just a thought I had: Call the items with their in-game names? ^^;
As in: Artifact, Relic, Empyrean.
Just a thought...
Perhaps it's just me, but this would make it easier to read/think about these neat ideas. ^^
Neat.
...or so the legend says.
Speaking of Unkai, now I can't help but wonder how the double damage on Zanshin is going to interact with the upcoming changes to Hasso...
That's probably a topic for the SAM forum though.
Yeah, I do hear alot of other servers are kinda slow. If you go look at the consensus you'll see we're top 2 in Empyrean armor and we have much less people. We're just all ready for the next challenge. Then there's our rank 3rd in empyrean weapons, tied for second for mythic... yeah, there's obviously some bad stuff going on @ Carbuncle server.

Even though I've already posted this idea I'll repeat MY idea. The idea of "empryean +3" or "AF 4(lvl90-99) rather than simply be a magian trial can incorporate ALL the old gear to include AF, AF +1, relic, salvage, empryean etc. The final Job specific gear sets I'll name "Absolute Virtue gear" in honor of that prick of a NM.
There would be only 2 path sets per job of "absolute virtue gear". The regular path(ie easy path) would require that players trade in regular AF+1(Artifact), AF2+1(relics), AF3+1(emperyean +1), plus rare/ex items(small amount, no 50 items from Ultimate virtue) to receive the "Absolute Virtue gear" via Magian trials.
The second path, the "elite" path recognizes those players which traverse all of the endgame content. Players would trade in Salvage sets, nyzul set, einejhar set, and emperyean +2's, and rare/ex item(small amount) to magian moogle to receive the elite "Absolute Virtue gear+1".
As far as the ex/rare item, really only need 1 per gear piece from fighting the new "Ultimate Virtue~Maat". A new BCNM feature Maat(reskinned to look like a "crystalline Fomor") plus his trusty magian helper. Maat would be your job and the moogle would mimic your sub job. The fight would be a level 95 BCNM that gives players not only the Rare/ex item but serves as the cap breaking quest.
My two tier approach satisfies both the easy going player and the elite minded players. Also, most players feel that another round with an improved version of Maat's fight is needed and welcomed. Not only this, but my approach keeps players revisiting the "Old Content" since all of the old pieces are able to be repeated.
As an aside, there could then be a final "Ultimate Condemnation gear set" magian trials which requires both UVG and UvG+1 be turned in together. This would unlocked true "God Mode" allowing player to resist death(1HP lock with weakened status) but stats +50, and all recast timers -50%, and +100%exp bonus). Yes game breaking but incredibly time consuming.
As a further aside, I imagine the UVG set to look "crystalline(white/clear) looking gear set appropriate to jobs. With very fine trim with "job colors". As for the UcG, t would look "crystalline(clear/black similar to crystal warriors) with same "job coloring" trim.
Both sets would feature a "shimmer/aura" effect around players similar to Paladin's job emote.
Yes, Yes I'm bored and suggesting crazy things...crazy, but totally doable.
Oh I forgot to mention... As far as the "Ultimate Virtue Weapons" these would require that players turn in several specific items. Can be two paths with a regular and elite path.
Regular path includes AF, partially completed relic(50%), Mythic Weapon(locked), FayWeapon(x5 augmented), (1)50% completed path of weapon(stats), (1) 50% unlocked weaponskill trial, and (1)"lower"(coin) empreyean weapon plus Maat rare/ex item.
The elite path would be AF, 100%relic, 100% Mythic, Fay Waepon(x10), (1)complete weapon trial(stat), (1) complete weapon skill trial, 100%Empreyan weapon(NM).
Each path would give you complete access to every weaponskill despite job. Each would give you the usual increase damage, multi strike option, and decreased delay. However, the elite path would have be of higher values AND feature a final weapon skill
A Special Note. Why not allow players to undergo a final trial path that require the final versions of weapons to combine. For example, the Mage path...1 staff that combines all the elemental staves into one staff with either +1/4 or +4/1 stats. Or, a -7mp per stave that combine all elemental/avatars. Or, a complete pet STAT mode. Or, melee weapon?
