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.
