Are we getting any new content in 1.22a other than Garuda fix?

I thought AF weapons were going to be super hard core and hard to obtain.

Why are we getting AF weapons? Ifrit, moogle, garuda, class. Why so many weapon sets. I am not complaining, I hope the quests to get the weapons are good like the armor sets where.

It won't be, gotta please casual people. Also we're getting AF weapons because the AF set is basically straight from FFXI in concept, you get a weapon and armor. So what if we have primal weapons? Don't you think it's about time there's other good weapons? Especially considering the poor people who leveled their favorite job and can't do the fights because idiots think you can only win by throwing THM/BLM/ARC/BRD at shit? They need an alternative lol.

You thought wrong, 'hardcore content' is outdated, based on what people say in this forum.

I seriously doubt they're as bad to get as fighting Garuda 20 times to get what you want.

I remember a post from the devs saying they wouldn't be easy to get and they are balancing the difficulty.

Given how SE has been doing things it probably be like get 50 drops from AV or CC final bosses and you only get 1 per run goes to random person, but you can give it to someone if you wish.

There's a disconnect sadly. They also said AF gear would be at least double-meld materia strong, only select pieces between all of the jobs are even close to double-meld standard.

I think the AF will be easy to get but hard to upgrade, something like easy mode Relics.

If they were smart they'd do it the Empyrean WoE path way. Though there are still some NMs out there that doesn't serve a true purpose, so given the past history with releasing NMs to coincide with AF/Skills, good chance we have a lot of NM slaying in our future.

Though I still don't get why Audhumbla was in a tiny ass cave...I mean I get it name wise but...that thing is too damn big for a tiny cave :|

I was hoping SE would make a system where weapon and AF are upgraded similar to Limbus and at the same time, have a tier like system that other MMO's use. So each upgrade can be like Drachen Mail (+1, 2, 3, and so on.). But we will see tomorrow what is going on with AF weapons.

If it has 3 upgrade parts I wouldn't put it past them to do this. Stage 1 get 50 Inferno Totems, Stage 2 get 50 Kupo Nuts, Stage 3 get 75 headdresses.

I think they are adding way too many pieces too fast; many are obsolete even before they realistically obtainable. Gimme some time to work on this stuff already!
