Level 99 Relic, Mythic, Empyrean, and WoE Weapons

Looks like they are going to upgrade the RME weapons, though they give no timeframe for the adjustments except that it will be after the next patch:

Since they will still be lagging behind other weapons, I think this would be the best time to add post-ToAU R/E/C weapons.

So at a quick glance were looking at a 70%? damage increase and a added 20 points to att and acc. That's pretty nice. I would like to see more stats added to help flush out the ws on the weapon's. Some of them would benefit from that greatly.

Having the emp weaponskills unlock when you complete a 99 coin weapon is the greatest idea ever. Walk of Echoes will become wildly popular and increase gil circulation like Dynamis before and once again. This announcement is amazing if they follow through with it.

I really like how that change would give WoE weapons their own unique purpose instead of just being uglier and crappier versions of Empyrean weapons. For a lot of weapons, the Empyrean weaponskill would often be the best option for raw damage regardless of which weapon a player wants to use.

Maybe farming WoE could even become a big new thing instead of just a "I'm up at 4 AM and I want to annoy some Japanese people" thing.

...which means the actual change will probably be something much, much more boring that does nothing to change the status quo. “As for me my only hope is for eternal nothingness and I hope it with all my heart,” and such.

I...actually hadn't thought about it that way, but you're right.

This is not fair to 99 empy holders. Staff "myrkr" and club "Dagen" holders. You telling us we hold a 99 empy and now have to make a 99 WOE weapon to use it on better staves?

To give an example: the delve staff is 145 base dmg +20 int + 5 MAB. This staff is meant for nuking. With Sch you can do a T5 nuke and get 21-25 Tp a nuke in return. Four nukes equals Myrkr. And notice this is on a nuke staff.

Now lets look at empy staff: perhaps it will be upgraded to 145 dmg but it has 0 INT/MAB, but instead has +150-200 MP and an aftermath of double attack what your not meleeing with anyway. Empy club is in the same boat. 99 Empy's should be allowed to unlock the weapon skill as well.

Same would go for if you have a Mythic Sch staff. This will probably become a updated nuking staff. Then to enhance your job, you have to do a WOE weapon to unlock myrkr vs. Empy.

Sadness. I guess if the vocal group makes enough of a stink the devs will cave. *goes off to rile up the RDM forums*.

I'm actually hoping that any improvements to RMEs are pushed off a bit so that people can really get into the Delve content and progress there. As much as I like the idea of pushing my RMEs further, we all know that as soon as SE lets us improve them, that's all people will be interested in doing.

I already 99'd the Hand to Hand but this will make me finish the Katana/Great Axe/Dagger/ & Sword.
