Artifact Armor 4 idea

[Rosalie]

Need to store junk on Porter Moogle. Static please.

[Anathiel]

Static please. ^_^

Well Camate the collector of rare pog slammers. I do believe the mob has spoken and the answer is pretty much a landslide in the direction of something static.

Static too except they can't take a single day. I'm not sure why you all think you are going to get the static gears quickly. Look at Einherjar ampulas for the various gear the event offers. It's typically what you'll want for static. Initially you would get 500 ampulas per tier I *win*, knowing that you did not win everytime. On average in a decent LS you would get one item per 3 months. Why would it be any different ? Several month of grinding dynamis dayly to fill the quota of points. On top of my head the other gear they released in exchange of points were assault gear, where you would get like 800 AP per assault in a static, which would be 20 runs for a piece, or 3 weeks, or 4 months minimum for a full assault set.

I don't think you will be able to grind the gear abyssea-style like you would for the final stage of an empyreal weapon (like killing 40 draguas which you can do in a day or two with chain brews). This time it's dynamis, it has entry limitation including a maximum time limit. It probably means that you will only be able to progress a little every day. I'd rather try my luck from time to time rather than be forced to log every day for 3 months to get a piece of crap that will by no way be decent (relic are mostly junk) .

We'll see.

I think SE is taking the "anyone can do anything" route with most things now - even aside from Abyssea, the most recent content (Voidwatch, WoE and Neo-Dynamis) are all small group friendly and for lack of a major "grind" piece of gear. No one is really excluded from new content due to claiming (kings), cost (relic) or absurd requirements (mythic).

The only grind in abyssea is going after colorful souls - and that's due to the VNMs being camped nearly 24/7.

I can't see them adding content at this point that'll take absurd amounts of time to complete. I don't think many players are going to invest into a long term goal in FFXI at this point, and most are happy with the short term goals they can wrap up nicely before the next version update.

Wish we could store Augmented items, thats the biggest negative of random.

They'll probably want the focus to be new content (i.E not rehashed level 75 gear), so I'm not expecting Relic+2 to be anything amazing, Static or not. Will be fun to look at but I'll be shocked if theres more than 1/2 Worthwhile pieces per set, and even those will likely be very situational.

Why not just combine ALL our Stats, AFv1, V2 and V3 all together and thats our static set. If you want +1's do Afv1, v2 v3 all +1s. With +2 AFv3 (u get that stat as well). That will revive old areas.

[Karbuncle]

Because its impossible due to that "4 Category Limit" on Armor they told us about way back when that i explained on the last page.

So they'd have to erase some stats for it all to fit.

[Schrute]

hi, give us dream stats and make them static.

random augments = dumb

let's do the most logical route here. Make the upgrades via magian trial and make the reward worth the effort. I understand the idea that repeating something over and over again to get your "dream stats" is in sense to keep the player PLAYING. Hi, lets keep the player playing by giving dream stats on the equipment for all the jobs and therefore keeping the player playing by making them get the dream stats for all of his favorite jobs O-O.

This idea was brought to you by Schrute Farms

Thank you, /bow you bring great honor

Your problem is that you think you will get the static in one try when they clearly stated it would be a painful long process.

I'm fine with that so long as I know what I'll be getting i.e. static stats.

im definitely for static augments for no reason other than still being able to store.

Also this. You will never be able to store or mail items with yellow augment stats on them due to how yellow stats work. My inventory is already tight without more unstorable, unmailable items.

I disagree with the AF(X) +1/+2 maybe a regular piece of each, but I also like the idea of a part 2 to the story-lines as going the AF quests was very fun & neat
