The Axe sounds nice. I love everything about MRD/WAR, so that will probably be my first.

Same, I just wish the axe was more DD oriented.

I want the Axe. But I don't think I will make it with the double melt. Thats the hardest part for me

I have both WAR and PLD and though I mostly run on WAR, I'm interested in the Curtana over the Bravura. Not that the +50 emnity isn't nice, but it's not shoring up any holes in WAR. Reduces Vengeance recast, though...

There was so much white knighting from would be Plds these lasts months, yet I still haven't heard anything about what double meld the Pld relic will need.

I've decided not to attempt this ridiculous quest. Knowing my luck, it would be years before I saw one.

Its tough not to have a concrete goal to show measured progress on - especially since I don't play hours on end each day.

going for the monk weapon. It looks worthy enough for me to use

I already am farming Misters Mythril for the bow.
When I finish that I plan to work on the sword and shield.

Would anyone mind telling me the steps? I know 25k seals and 3x3 hamlet seals, but what's the rest? Thinking of chasing Artemis' Bow.

As much as I love my Warrior, I'm not going for the axe for one simple reason - it'll be the first to get nerfed (no doubt about it). So instead, I'll go for the bow.

1 hour 29 minutes, a new record!

congrats on being the first to post nonsense about how you dont like the quest in a thread thats meant to talk about which was meant to talk about which one we are getting, not about the quest itself

None.... which is ok too :).

Probably the Luitena.... oops.

Still can't believe they want us to double meld class specific weapons. Ridiculous. I would get the axe but I don't tank on WAR, I like to dps. So if I can actually get the seals from Hamlets I'll be going for the MNK fists... I guess.

Surprised only one post on complaining about the quest itself (though the title clearly says Despite the difficulty). I'm far from level cap, but the first I'd work towards is the axe for sure.

I'd love the axe...but I'm not so hot on the +50 emnity.

What EXACTLY are the step-by-step requirements? I'd like to know what I'm getting into before I decide to undertake one of these weapons.

1) Buy the 25,000 GC seal Key Item "On the Properties of Beastmen"

2) Collect primal seals from Hamlet Defense. You need 3 from Aleport (Tremor Seal), Hyrstmill (Vortex Seal), and Golden Bazaar (Inferno seal). Reportedly, if you're in the top 3 provisioners, you have a chance of being given one by the captain. Aim for 60k+ points.

3) You'll then be asked to bring a key item from one of the beastmen stronghold final NMs, as well as a double-melded weapon. These weapons are of the type that were recently introduced-- Mailbreaker, Rampager, Avengers, etc. This weapon does NOT need to be +1. It'll tell you in the quest text what kind of materia needs to be double melded to the weapon-- it's always tier IV, and is different for each weapon.

4) After you turn in all of that, then you have to go get 3 new items that drop from new chests in either CC or AV.

After that who knows?

Stardust.. is appealing. Though, stat wise, I'm not frothing at the mouth over it. My lightning brand/allegory combo is just shy of the int/mAtt the staff has, call me naive, but I really dont see the point in enfeebling potency and the crit..eh, I preferr consistencey so its a nice perk, but not a must have motive.

Conserve mp..nice. Useful.

I'm rather curious to know just how much it increases the Flare DoT though.

This, minus having a PLD. I would prefer if it was more DD oriented..

:o I kind of hope they make it possible for people who can't get a party every minute of every day.

Same here. In almost any game/MMo that has a spear or pole arm user, that is my class/job/whatever.

Double bonus that Lancer is also Dragoon, which i've loved since Kain. Lancer was also my first 50 Class, and Dragoon was my first Job. So shuld i have the chance to obtain a relic weapon (and despite everything i'll give it a try) it will definately be a lance!
