Artifact Gear

[Vahzl]

Do we have any development updates on this as I can't recall hearing much about it in a long time.

The gear I am referring to is the unique items that represent your class, such as the white and red White Mage set, the Evoker's set for Summoners, etc.

I would assume they are going to implement the new classes first, but just wanted to know if we can still expect to see the class defining gear in the future?

(Honestly don't care about stats or current available gear, MMo's are a fashion show and you cannot deny it! )

Certain websites showed an update following 1.19 of what had been added to the .dats, and it's fair to say the gear is definitely coming.

...Or Black Mage gear at least.

Oooh there is? I haven't seen that one. Exciting!

Unless they allow us to add materia the gear is guna be pretty crappy anyway I would imagine, unless they give it ungodly stats.

PURPLE NAMED GEAR can i haz it !!

Like I said, stats and colour of an item are irrelevant to me, and I would assume artifact gear will be lucrative enough to encourage people to wear it (at least pieces of it) much like in XI, I don't think I took off my Warlock's Chapeau until I got my Yigit Turban, and my Duelist's+1

I would assume SE want people in the gear that makes their class unique, so I expect to see things like "Augment's Spiritbind" and "Bonus to Enhancing Magic" on the items. The problem we have is the same flashing character issue from XI when you swap gear, and now further, we have a gear swap penalty too.

One of my favorite things in XI was creating page long macros (using windower cough cough) so that each spell and ability I used was running at 100% efficiency.

My convert macro was something like 100 lines.
