Opinions on next eureka armor upgrades

I was curious what the community thinks will happen to the relic armor in Pyros.

Do you think it will just be an ilvl upgrade with no visual change?
Do u think it will get a glow to it?
Or do u think it will get a complete design change?

And before any starts about how eureka sucks and should die.. yes I know there are people who’s despise Eureka. There is always people despise content that comes out. This is just a thread to see what people think or would like to see happen to the relic armor

So I look foreword to seeing what you all think

I'm hoping for a completely new design that also glows. What i'm expecting is just a new higher ilvl and that is it.

Someone in Eureka said it was leaked that it will be a role specific armor set like the Shire set instead of an individual per job armor set xD. Regardless, hopefully it doesn't require any anemos gear xD.

More than likely going to require you to have the Anemos gear, since Relics typically upgrade past steps. They’ve always done that for weapons, and SE is nothing if not predictable in the way they do things. So assume they’ll do the same for gear.

Well judging from the screen shots
The armor will change looks since Theres a warrior in armor that looks similar to the Chaos set

Id say we need anemos armor to upgrade it and it will probably make anemos a bit more lively if people didnt finish some anemos sets
And like the looks of new ones

I actually hope it doesn't glow, the 4 pieces we have that do glow are not really all that good. The gear itself looks fine, but the glow exists to mass with lighting of an area and I sometimes get headaches from it.

I personally would love to see them add some particle effects to the pyros armors. I am pretty impartial about them completely changing the way the armors look though. If there is a new design, I only hope it isn't bland and generic looking.

yay more skirt armor... /sigh Though I'm sure threads will pop asking for the armor that boss in the screenshot is wearing. It looks really good.

I don’t see that working as it would be a unique armor and each class has their own relic armor. Therefore if they did it that way most class armor would be pointless upgrading in anemos as once u have casting, healing, tank, maiming, scouting, and aiming gear any other anemos relic armor sets would be pointless to upgrade in my opinion

I expect it to be well behind the other gear just like how Relic is, you know to go with the theme of being utterly useless.
Joking aside idk really, it will have to be some really cool design in order for me to step foot back in that place

I really hope so.

The reason I didn't get the individual sets is I don't have the inventory space to have 13 sets of gear (one for each job)

Lower Ilv than Tomestone lets say ilv 370, 5 materia slot. Nothing more, nothing less.

If its going from job specific like anemos to role specific I can see them maybe starting fresh with the armor since there was no armor in Pagos but maybe they'll let you turn in Anemos armor for a phase skip.

Anemos was 350, but yes I miscalculate it will more likely be 380 at best with 5 materia slot.

Anemos +1 360
Anemos +2 370
Pyros/elemental 380

I think it just depends on how long they plan to stretch it out for I can see them having phases for 380 -> 390 then eventually sometime in 4.5x adding a i400 phase maybe a few months before 5.0

itll be pretty funny if it does go to i400 with 5 slots when the relics goes i405 with five slots

I don't see why they wouldn't, by the end of the expansion cycle relics typically are the same ilvl as current raid gear, we don't know what the work will be involved for relic armor this time around though, if Pagos style is any indication we have plenty of work ahead of us just for the weapon let alone the armor, plus this content is supposed to stretch till next July when 5.0 presumably launches.

It's doubtful that the armor upgrade will go past i380 with 5 materia sockets even near end-of-expansion, considering the upgrades would likely come from whatever the next leg of Eureka is and they didn't do an armor upgrade in Pagos. I highly doubt we'll see another armor upgrade after this.

...and be released 4 weeks before the next expansion, if their current schedule holds. :D

Why should people be able to skip a relic step? More than likely you'll need the older gear to upgrade it just like you need an anemos weapon to upgrade it to the pagos version.

I don't recall the devs saying there would be an option to upgrade the armour in Pyros. In fact I recall Yoshi P stating there would be no further armour steps in one of the live letters. By all means prove me wrong, but I think this is just another fan rumour.

They had said that the anemos armor was just a dyeable version of the relic armor but in live letter 45 in July it was stated that there would be armor and weapon upgrades in the 4.4 version of eureka

Will we need the sabemos version of the armor? Will we be forced to do some nonsense in Pagos to start the Pyros upgrades?

If we can forego Pagos then I will be going back to Anemos for a set or even 2.

If we have to go to Pagos for ANYTHING so we can start the Pyros upgrades then the new gear might as well get thrown into a lava pit. I am not stepping foot on Pagos unless they do some HEAVY nerfs to it.

you have to finish Pagos storyline to start Pyros if I recall thing correctly.

Armor upgrade won't need pagos, but the weapon will.

We'll need the ilv350 anemos armor set to upgrade it to elemental or pagos or whatever the name in Pyros. We will be able to rebuy them to a NPC close to the entrance (kugane Eureka entrance not in Eureka itself) in case we lost them like for the weapon at pagos realease.

I see Pyros having 3 different ilv sets for it one ilv 370 one ilv 375 (useful as be potentially be UwU BiS) and ilv 380 with wep being ilv 385 all with 5 materia slots. As for looks I want a glow no more than the augmented sets back in ARR as for wep maybe a glow that goes up the arms instead of down the wep be a little more unique that way

Ewww what do people have with glowing weapon and armor, its ugly 95% of the time

I just want it to look individual/unique, I'm so tired of these messes of plates, straps, loops, and bits of metal that all look the same and are virtually indistinguishable from each other. /stares at all of the tome gear from 4.0

I wouldn't object to having it require the Anemos set, as long as it doesn't consume it, I love my dyeable Rdm set.

Yup, A NPC for this is already up next to the entrance for Eureka in Kugane. He sell the Aemos weapon replica for those who want them back for vanity reason. He will maybe sell the Anemos armor too at Pyros release.

I'm hoping if they do an armor glow that it will be subtle and not on every piece of gear. But I actually really like the idea to have the glow on the characters arm instead of the weapon itself. That would be something really different and make it look like the character has some cool ancient power instead of this giant absurdly glowing weapon that blinds everyone XD

I REALLY hope that the gear is a new set and not a glowing version of the dye-able set we just got. I really liked the themes that they played with in the last set and am really hopeful that they will continue to expand on those design themes.
