Will SE gonna address Speed Belt for Endwalker?

Until now I don't hear any statement for Speed Belt and it's kinda bothering me... Will they gonna address it?

it's a belt so most likely not.

whole Eureka need some rework. like it will be still way how to get 70lvl relic weapons. less and less people will visit it. its not like doing HW or ARR relics. and with speed belt uh. maybe they could use it as some permanent buff there, but idk. wearing gear , or mostly forgetting to wear , is happening to me pretty often :x . so it could help a bit i think. like in ShB you have those buffs when you enter Bozja/Zadnor.

A simple NPC exchange from speed belt into a speed ring or bracelet would suffice. Or outright change the item itself so it's a ring or bracelet slot.

If they don't want to make up an item that doesn't exist in FFXI, to keep the FFXI theme then there are two perfect candidates: the Blitz Ring and Tiercel Necklace, both have Haste in XI.

Chances are they'll forget about it but if people remind them they can probably implement something.

There's also the Sylvan Sash received from a sidequest and the Darkscale belts rewarded from the last FATE in that chain.

I think they have to be looking at the belts and where they come from before just removing them.

between the stat squish and rebalancing because of belt removal, it'll probably just end up being reallocated to the Cassie Earring.

More reason to sell it for truly exorbitant amounts of gil.

See you guys just don't get it. The stories next major plot point after the Ascians is going to be about who destroyed the worlds belts. It's called Endwalker because we're all going to be walking around with out rear-ends hanging out because every ones pants keep falling down now that the belts are gone. Thus sadly you wont have a belt to trade-in for something else.

Hahaha~
Nice one.

Speed belt, and Sylph belt will likely end up taking them completely by suprize and have to be adressed in a patch, if ever.

Makes me sad, 20 million for a simple belt... what are they going to move it's stats to?

I don't get it.

Belts are being removed in EW, speed belt is a rare drop very expensive eureka drop item that has substantial stat impact. Is this belt suddenly to become worthless?

I think the suggestions to change it to another accessory would do well. Perhaps wrist? Speed belt may potentially even get to keep the name then lol.

Problem is...

They're trying to move the stats to related gear.

Ironworks, sure, just put it onto the other pieces of ironworks.

Frog leather. Just move it to the rest of the frog leather.

But, what "SET" is the speed belt part of?

Do you move the stats onto the hoody robe? The elemental, the elemental+1?

It's an extremely rare optional item from old content. I doubt they change anything. If it were critical somehow that would be one thing, but it isn't.

If they change nothing, it's going to become the most disappointing rare drop in the entire game.

You'll get the most powerful belt in the game, that then can't be equipped.

I would assume they just make a new item. New bangle called speed belt. The defense and other standard stats that didn't make the belt special (just a regular belt of that level) go off into their sets, but the extra unique stuff combines with the standard bangle for that level. New appropriately statted gear with extra bonuses, as if the speed belt had always been a bracelet (bangle).

Add a conversion option for the calamity salvager for those who already have the belt, mark it rare / ex. The converted bracelet being sell-able (if not already soul-bound . . . . lol), just like the old one was, and is what is replaced in the loot table (old belt like all the other belts being lost to time, I mean I still have some cracked materia just for the giggles lol).
