Is this confirmation that Blu will get to fight Ultimates?

New blue mage artifact gear will be implemented, so please look forward to it!


THAT QUOTE

Artifact gear? For BLU?

That means UCOB golden blu staff, right?

Yes, one hundred percent, without a single doubt. Those words can be a literal translation to 'BLU's can fight in Ultimates' and nothing of wild speculation at all.

No, it just means BLU is getting their own lvl 70 set, to go with their lvl cap raise...

No they will not be able to cheese ultimate .

It's not like I already have a BIS set list from when my other Caster jobs were 70 or anything.

It doesn't, it just means they'll get new Job specific attire.

But considering BLU can do alliance raids and savages as part of their "Blue Log", I would assume it's not completely impossible to see Ultimates being included into this at some point, though I wouldn't hold high hopes for that.

And yet, if it didn't get its lvl 70 class specific gear, people would complain, mention "see its even job gear limited", etc.

Okay, so the level 70 items, are called "artifacts" ... and arn't those the ones that are empowered by eurika? So... then is this a sign they might get eurika items?

I'm honestly not sure how BLU will even finish the savage Omega raids unless mechanics start targeting based on aetherial mimicry because there's a lot of things that Diamondback will not save you from, but can't realistically be executed properly if you don't know who's getting what in advance.

You're confusing AF gear (artefact) which are usually the lvl X0 iconic job gear (starting from 50) with relic weapons (set of X0 weapons that you can build over time)

I don't see blu UWU happening, but blu UCOB, that seems quite likely, eventually.

Yes, but the AF gear is what's turned into relic, in eurika. Comes out of the coffer, goes into eurika, becomes relic.

Relics are the weapons. Every level 50, 60, 70 and 80 iconic job gear is AF gear, and there's no indication that this one will be an Antiquated version that can be upgraded in Eureka, or that BLU can go into Eureka, so far.

Lots of adjustments are needed but it sure is possible. Alexander raids had a handful of role-based mechanics and people got their morbols regardless.
