It's a Delve adjustment, thought things could be hidden in it.

I wonder what we'll regret wishing for tomorrow.

Merge Weapons
Development team, please consider the following idea:

If a player has obtained both the Delve and an equivalent R/M/E/WoE weapon, why not introduce a quest to merge, or infuse the RMEC weapon with the power of the Delve weapon (not just for level 99 version either).

Example:
Let's say the player has a level 99 Excalibur.
The level 75 base damage is 49, and at 99 it is 73. For a total damage boost of 24.
Additionally there is a +20 attack bonus for upgrading to the 99 version, and of course Knights of the Round with Aftermath.

Why not allow the stats of the newly acquired Halachuinic Sword with base stats of DMG:104 Accuracy+16 Attack+15 to be "infused" into the excalibur, and add on the degree to which the player has completed magian trials.

In this case the players level 99 Excalibur would now have the stats of
DMG: 128, Acc +16, Attack + 35, Knights of the Round, and Aftermath.

I understand it would be complicated to implement, but I think it solves two important needs- maintaining the desire to obtain delve weapons, and keeping RMEC weapons in a class all to their own.

At first I was like kind of mad I spent close to 400m on relics and empyreans. But now I kind of don't care too much that they are getting outclassed. R/M/E now have their role as a steping stone to Delve weapons. I am prefectly fine with gear progression, they do it in almost every other MMO. SoA is a new expansion and some things change.

However because people did spend a lot of time and gil getting R/M/E if they wanted to make people happy keep them playing. They could easily use the Airlixir up upgrade relics.

For example you can now upgrade a level 99 r/m/e with Airlixir 15 ranks.
1. + base damage
2. acc/attack
3. a stat

However make the total base damage gained lower then delve weapons due to these having aftermaths and exclusive WS.

Actually, they did. It was mentioned that Relics/Mythics (those specifically) would remain on top into the forseeable future. While i know they dont always hold to their promises, its not like they're far off bounds.

That guy's a troll, don't waste your time.

I would be interested in knowing the circumstances under which this was stated... as careful as they always are about saying anything conclusive about things that aren't already in the final stages of development... Was this when they first started giving them magian trials?

Derp derp um pet:treasure hunter+1 THEY ALWAYS SAY THINGS OUT OF THEIR ASSES BEFORE THEY GET THEIR STORY STRAIGHT. The bottom line Bisquik is that they not only said they would keep REMs on top but they also promised that we wouldn't have anymore trials. Now those of us that made these are willing to forgive the promise to not have trials and do some more(God have mercy on us all) and still be able to keep weapons we spent hundreds of millions of Gil on.

The end dude

Sorry, maybe I'm misunderstanding... you do know that some pets really do have Treasure Hunter +1, right? Also, Bisquik was an LS leader of mine that quit eons ago...

You're the first person I've heard claim that SE promised them that they wouldn't make them do trials... Where exactly was all of this said, these forums? The old POL page? I'm assuming these statements still exist, archived, somewhere... I'd very much like to read them.
