Thread: Requesting Information on Jobs: Preparing for 1.21

The itemization probably isn't going to be 100% optimal, and all these new pieces may be situational.

Like always, its best just to do the "wait and see" approach instead of freaking out about every last vague detail they provide.

What that quote meant is that JSE will be stronger than multiple materia melded gear you could get from a crafter.

@Firon: When you can show me proof of someone leveling like you claim Pre ToAU, I'll retract my call of BS. Until then, you're just flapping your gums.

I played that game for years, and I was a job whore so I played them all. Never did I personally see any possible way to do as you claim back then nor did I ever hear anyone claim to have done so, until now.

That's why you made your parties.

How to get AF in FFXI, from someone who played it:

AF - Speak with appropriate NPC, this is generally the quest for your AF weapon. You then complete it and use it or toss it (depending on year you did this, as there's better weapons in this day and age.) Level to 50+ do your next 2 quests, get those pieces, then you kill mobs for a coffer key, open your coffer, completed set.

AFv2 - Go to dynamis, kill shit, walk out with every job AF most likely (if you actually play you'd know they skyrocketed drop rates on this, even on Duelist Chapeaus and Ass Gauntlets, I've floored 20 of them in one run alone.)

AFv3 (Empyrean) - Buy the base armor from appropriate zone, trade to the magian moogle, slaughter usually SPAWNABLE NMs, collect your 8 seals (10 for body), trade it get your armor set, (feet has to be obtained from gold chests), then go slaughter tougher enemies (usually zone bosses and dragon birds of rapes) for 6-9 items to +2 them.

AFv2+2 - Head back to dynamis, collect 30 or 50 items (depends if you want to skip a step) then gain 20,000 exp while wearing said armor and bam, upgraded and augmented armor.

None of the ways are "shitty" as they all work in their respectable way. Only people who expect everything handed to them would find the ways "shitty" as you have to put in an iota amount of work to obtain them.

I do realize that the second bolded statement can be taken to mean that the new gear with multiple materia attached will be better than job specific gear, but then why not say it that way?

I sort of interpreted that as them releasing even better JSE in the future that would have stats more potent than if we were even able to attach materia onto the initial set of AFs we'll get with 1.21.

It could definitely use some clarification though.

Hence why FFXIV was the perfect opportunity to take what works and fixed what was wrong with it. None of the content was done perfectly due to one issue or another, but the concepts of it were perfect.

That was my other guess based on Rein's translation as well.
