Esoteric Weapons

Is there some lore behind the Esoteric weapons? They're the only weapons to be Job specific (other than DRK/SCH/AST/MCH) since the Relic quest-line; are they special in some way or is there a reason Classes cannot equip them?

Thanks! :D

I doubt it. The fact that AF2 and these came out with no lore at all makes me..really sad. Especially for DRK.

Very disappointing indeed! :(

Ihh, not that we know of.

Yet.

... but seriously, all we have is that they're antiques.

yeah the fact that we have no lore for the Esoteric weapons/AF2 is kinda disappointing. This also makes me wonder if the Eso weapons are supposed to 'match' our AF2, or will the new relics compliment the sets, like in 2.x

Well personally, I'm kinda disapointed and how... Un-Epic the Esoteric Gear is. The Gae Bolg was cooler than the Esoteric Spear and the Longenous even cooler. So I'm really hopeing the Neo-Relic will be more epic. Would even apreciate some cooler armor in 3.1 as well.

I personally am incredibly happy with the Esoterics gear. The Summoner stuff looks like flowing oracle robes and I love it. The book is ok, I suppose, but knowing lore for it would be nice.

Some people are speculating that they'll be the starting point for the new relics.

There was also someone that said Brionac's on Haldrath's coffin, flanked by two Gae Bolgs, but I haven't checked if that's true. Would give the theory some credence.

its actually one gae bolg in the middle and one brionac in each side. (not sute if this helps somehow thou)

No clue about the Scholar weapon and armor, though I'd wager a guess and say the steampunk look is Nymian high fashion >_>
