Zodiac Weapons, or at the least a relic weapon. Since you are nerfing the questline in 3.0 for glamour anyway I think it would be cool to have the lore related weapon associated with that job.
Maybe the zodiac braves didn't have greatswords, star globes and, well, machinery. There will be plenty of lore for the jobs anyway. Guess they thought it didn't make much sense to add more multi-stage lv50 quests when endgame is lv60 now.
I'd guess they'd do what happened with 2.0; They made AF armor obtainable by an easy series of quests. I can see the Relic going that way, at least an i110 or so version of it. At least that's what I'd like to see.
As far as the new jobs, yeah, they didn't have anything to begin with so I'd imagine they will leap frog it for the 3.0 version.
New Jobs will not be getting Zodiac weapons because, they are starting a new type of weapon. People with Zodiac weapons complete will have the advantage, but the new jobs will get the new type of weapon what ever it may be.
Please devs, don't do this.
I want a game who looks toward the future, not the past. What is the point to have relic/zodiac weapons (which are gonna be useless) for the new jobs, when all the jobs will have a new relic for 3.1...
Wasted development time. New content please.
You've got i130 ironworks weapons and three months of content to burn through without having to worry about going back for all the BS Zodiak stuff. Trust me, in the long run, not giving them Relics and Zodiak weapons is the right call. Besides, in September/October when we get 3.1, you'll have a new Relic type weapon to grind your arse off for anyways.
Also by the time you hit 56+ the Zodiak weapon is going to be outclassed anyways (possibly even by the first Ravana fight [should that version drop weapons]).
Except Ifrit, Garuda and Titan, none of them are required for MSQ.
As a aside to this, I didn't wanna create a new thread btw.. But why does the new jobs use cross class skills. Didn't Yoshi say in a interview they were ditching the cross-class model. And that the class's would automatically get the skills they need?
why would they do that when there getting one at 60? its a waste of time
Maybe because the new relics will use a similar step to the old ones, which is why they are going to make use of the current ones for the people who have completed them? Just guessing.
Also, why make a relic at 50, when it will be completely outdated and bypassed as soon as you hit 60. Which, going through the relic quest, would probably put you from 50-60...
I believe they've already confirmed that there will not be level 50 relic weapons for the new jobs.
There will be the new Heavensward relic weapons for those jobs, however.
Nah bro. It would take a lot less time to loot something from the HW dungeons that is better than the Zodiac Weapons than to do the whole rng grindfest.
Machinist relic-
Boomstick-Once in ancient times a pair of kingdoms were at war until a great and powerful group of voidsent and undead invaded. Then a man with a metal hand who claimed to be from the future arrived and wielding this weapon and a magitek war charriot fought and defeated this Army of Darkness.
it is still there to encourage people. besides 2 trials that are needed for the relic are quick and simple (even when the whole party is on level) as well as part of the duty roulette, AND done very very quickly there is no real need to have players do Dhrome chimera or hydra.
on the flipped side however, the EXTREME modes do not have use of the duty roulette, instead there 'story' missions do, this was to make sure there MSQ slots were filled. so what about the weapons, easy, it is to entice players to go back to the old extremes and beat them, as well as T5, T9 and T13. as for iron works, IW is meant to assist from lvl50 to at least lvl 53. so the weapons are done to assist in queues and to have players work togeaver to do old content, for said weaponry.
as i said above the relic quest dosn't really do this, with the exception of 2 stages, but even then, the dungeons chosen no one is going to do them, as you said not part of MSQ. so it must of been seen as a waste of player time.
