Ok...let me level with you here SE...

Afterglow effect will be a cool twist! Just think of it.... it helps your comrades BUT NOT YOU! Well, no it's not cool, but maybe on Krypton...

Remember that as far as the current known stats go, stage 1 for the stat boost, stage 2 for glow. And there almost certainly will be an additional perk to doing stage 2 because not even SE believes many will complete it so it's not like they're banking on everyone getting it done and helping each other out with their aura.

Additional planned features, such as equipment-specific magic spells and pets, have been postponed to allow for more thorough testing concerning attributes, the number of potential users and the process by which to obtain them. One consideration is whether to implement such features as another stage of the above upgrades, or to apply them to a different set of equipment. Also under deliberation is whether to limit the availability of such equipment or make it relatively simple to obtain.

We are so quick to forget details. But let's be real - I'll shit my pants if there's a stage #3 and it ends up including spells we haven't had access to, ranging from meteor to san to elegy to somethings RDM and SCH can use. I really hope this is one time they didn't read and it's not my fault that I uttered the idea "spells on relic weapons" and doomed us to never owning those spells. This is one time they had better already thought it up themselves because I might torture myself by watching Olsen twin movies if they finally give us these spells and like only 5 people will ever use them. If it's not my fault then I'll just /suicide. But I'm pretty sure I didn't utter the words "Utsusemi San on relic katana" until AFTER they uttered the words "mass elegy on brd instru" so I think I'm safe from the watching olsen twin movies fate.

Not forgetting possible pet additions here but I really don't want to even begin speculating on those. I'll just say that for BST I expect a wyrm pet... I just know that SE is SE and that there will probably be a third stage and it will probably own and give meaning to doing the second stage beyond prestige. And everyone will rage quit and FFXI will end as people will finally had enough with the rick rolls and revenge will be had.




If you're wondering about the revenge bit, just take some time to think about it. It'll come to you. Not necessarily 100% related to FFXI.
