Legendary Weapons

[Cursed]

Hi SE.
Lets make a 4th group of amazing weapons called Legendary Weapons.
to attain them you need to have Lv.99 empyrean, mythic and relic of the weapon group.

Make them amazingly overpowered.

I hope SE would not encourage someone to spend so much time out of their real life obtaining one of each relic weapons to obtain yet another, overpowered, weapon; however, relic etc. will most likely get easier and easier to get which would make it a more reasonable accomplishment. But still...

some of us have been playing this game for almost 10 years.
Getting a relic over the period of 2 years only requires 4-6 hours of gameplay a week. that's a lot less than even the most casual of FFXI players.
Getting a mythic weapon only really requires 1 year of 4-5 hours gameplay a week depending on alexandrites and success with T3 znms and drops, dedication of group etc. I would argue Mythics are probably the hardest of the 3 to attain, so funny that they are the worst.
Empyreans require 3-4 months at a very conservative play rate. or 3-5 days at a none-stop heavy 10 hour/day grind.

Anyone who started playing this game in 2002/'03 could easily have attained all 3 by now, and many people do, as well as other goodies. I know at least 20 players who have several relics and several empyreans and maybe 1 mythic.

I guess I should clarify because the point of my post was abviously missed.

My point was, taking the time to obtain all 3 weapons is and ordeal. Mainly because of the dedication it takes to obtain them. While 4-6 hours a week is not alot, to be required to plan your life to be able to attend the events needed to do so for 1-2 times a week for 2 years certainly is alot, and that is to obtain 1 of the 3 weapons. You can say it is not alot, but for a normal person, there is no doubt that it is. That being said, for someone to have put that much work to obtain 3 of them, if SE was to add an award, I would hope that it would not be a 4th weapon to make the other 3 obsolite.

I'm not saying everyone should have these weapons. That's my point. Veterans of war are rewarded in real life by attaining higher rank.
In anything in life, the longer you do something, the more senior you become.
Old school players like myself who have played from Beta are parting ways with SE because we are not being rewarded for all the effort we put into our characters. On the contrary, we are actually being punished by seeing our prized relics and armor become obsolete and worthless.
Its is shamefull that something that took me years to attain is inferior to something a person who started playing 1 month ago has attained in 1 week.

These legendary weapons should not be for the new players, nor should new players have a realistic chance at attaining them without some ridiculous form of punishment and torture.

You know, for some reason, for not owning a single relic, mythic, or empyrean weapon yet, I'm intrigued. Maybe it's got to do with the word "legendary..."

problem...

what do bow users do? there is no bow mythic, there is no mythic gun that rngs can use
there is no xbow emp weapons.

I can extend on this though, maybe if you are a rng and have the emp bow and the mythic crossbow you could fuse them and get the emp ws on the mythic crossbow?

same with relics, let them have the emp weapon ws somehow.

BFG? shame I can't say what i think that means.

the pair thing, that is what i never understood, there should be a pair of them, allow different stats so the main and and offhand is apperent.

these weapons you are proposing though? how do you sugest getting them? whay about the situations i listed where there is not a relic/ mythic/ emp weapon for each type.

like shield, bow, gun, horn/harp, greatsword?
I would say just reduce the requirements for them. I never understood why they overlooked them with mythic versions.
Instead of needing all 3 (relic/mythic/empyrean) for the above mentioned just require relic/empyrean.

The weapons I posted, are arguably the top tier weapons of their type in the earth's collective traditional folklore.
the GK for example, is much greater than any masamune or murusame. Its the GK that split Japan from the asian mainland and has great cultural meaning to the japanese. You can google them and see they is some pretty cool legend attached to each.
