Patch Notes Up!

You'll need to convert your 30/30 to the actual equipable item and then get back up to 60/60 by the sound of it, given that it says Padjali and not simply aetherpool.

that's what it sounds like and it sounds stupid. i have 2 padjal weapons. both are non main jobs though and one is already replaced by a sophia weapon. now unless i can trade a padjal to any other weapon in the upgrade process, the old padjal weapon is useless to me. on top of that if i want to get a weapon for a different job I have to start from the very beginning, get the padjal and then upgrade it. that means i need 90/90 for a new weapon...
and a friend is already sitting at 30/30 and is half way done when servers go up. great for him...

Edit: some kinna weapons don't even have the same sub stats as the padjal one

On the bright side it's now -30 to make Padjali, and we don't know the rate of gains on 51-100 so you may still be capable of getting a useful weapon at the same time as anyone else. Even if your friend could hit 60 by something like floor 71 or whatever they can't make the Kinna weapon until they've actually cleared 100 at which point maybe everyone will be at around 90 with the cap being set at 99.
