Artifact Armor 4 idea

[Ophannus]

It's going to suck really hard if we need to +1 our Relics with -1 gear from CoP Dynamis before we can augment it into +2.

I stopped reading here. If you relegate relic equipment +2 to synergy, you'll isolate the players. Those who have no interest in synergy won't bother, even for this, and those who are just starting synergy will have to grind for a few months just to get their skills high enough to finish their relic equipment +2.

Short answer: No it won't.
Long answer: Just like augments with sky/abjuration gear, someone else with high enough synergy can augment your gear for you barring they have high enough skill to do so. You don't need to have synergy skilled to augment your own gear, others can do so for you, probably for a profit(unless they like you).

Same problem occurs. You have to depend on other people, who probably want to be compensated, instead of doing an event battle alongside you. I don't know about you, but I have had HUGE problems with finding help. It's why I quit.

static! but decently good to use when compared with Empyrean..
also since you mention +2, will +1 have to be done first in order to proceed ?

[Karbuncle]

Almost certainly will require +1, Anything else is wishful thinking.

I should hope so. I didn't HQ all that stuff for nothing.

Edit:
Also, it will give me (and others) reason to do my all-time favorite FFXI event ever again, possibly even regularly. Dynamis (old school) was the best event FFXI ever had. Sadly, it's only possible in dreamlands these days. No epic 3.5h adventures anymore, but enough fun to make me wanna play again (possibly).

Static.

However, is it at all possible if you could create varying options for each piece? Instead of perhaps having a single, pre-determined result to +2 gear. Provide a bit of variance in the choices, along the lines of Add-on gear, but pertaining specifically to that job, much in the way merits would optimally work.

This will allow for perhaps more individuality among members of each job.

I was just about to post and say random so everyone wasn't in the same piece of 'must have' gear but this works better.

This way you can have different types of build for the same job meaning that there's room in parties for two (or more) of the same job on different builds.

So +1 Static but only if there are multiple trees/options.

I hate synergy :/

[Urthdigger]

Just wondering: When has the community EVER loved random augments?

[Shibayama]

Wait... so do you need to already have it +1'd via dreamworld dynamis to +2 it with ToM?
