From the latest FFXI update teasers we getting some job-spec armor to trial up, what kinda stats you think we'll get and how much of em?

Also do you think they'll add Armour trials to older equipment such as homam etc.?

Your thoughts

Hopefully not. Homam I don't mind, but if they leave HNM gear as is it would dry up the monopolies on each server significantly. Competitive play in an MMO (aside PvP obviously) is frustrating.
As for Af3, I'd expect the usual enhances JA, skill +15 stuff. Should be interesting.

I'm actually expecting AF3 to be customized as the new job-specific custom armor. I don't think any of the old armors will be adjusted but as Darkana said, I think they should.

I agree with you wishful thinking of people imo... This would be why atm I'm not doing any endgame until I know at least what lvl 90 gear is gonna bring. The only weapons we have been able to upgrade through ToM that you didnt pick from the chest were Mythic/Relic I think mainly because it took people many years to obtain them.

by how the notice is making it sound, probably only magian armor we'll see this update is the af3 stuff (since they only mentioned job specific) i hope you don't need af2 to upgrade into it or something cause i still no have super pimp hat ; ;

If this is exclusively for "AF3" armor... that means no gear storage.

Dear SE,

Can we have like 2 more Mog Satchels?

Thanks,
The entire FFXI community.

*** you very much SE for crushing my hopes and dreams of one day obtaining the rest of the Homam Gear I need and enjoy upgrading it through TotM, as well as anything else that comes from timed endgame. SE said we would be able to do this so that it would still be competitive with the new Abyssea gears. WHERE IS IT?!

*** you very much SE for telling me my time doing everything else was a waste and how you think spoonfeeding us gear is going to be more enjoyable than collecting various gear on our own. *** Perle *** Perle *** Perle *** Perle oh so very much. *** Aurore and its goddamn pinkness.

*** you very much SE for being awfully predictable. I will thank them for one thing, though:

Not keeping promises. -_-

IDK about y'all but I've always seen the SS as an absolute of what is going to be released, so if SE puts usu in a SS then that means it is still the best in game and/or there is trials for that specific set.

so sams are supposed to tp in full usu now?

When did SE ever say you could upgrade old armor (or are going to be able to upgrade old armor)? I read all of the fanfest crap and I'm pretty sure its not in there at all for the timeline...

The Marvelous Magian Spectacles

Is there anything these stylish and practical specs can't do? With the next version update, the tome summoned forth by this item will provide you with a two-day weather forecast for your current area.
This made me say, "Yay!"

Did you check the page itself? That's listed under "Additional weapon trials", meaning they're upgrading Masamune.

Was in a wiki interview, also "Trial of the magians addition" would count toward that ... since it would be a trial of the magians?


Well plz give us a link, because I dont remember SE saying you can upgrade older armors (weapons yes, see: Relic and Mythics)

Read that Developer Q&A on the wiki about Trial of the Magians if you haven't yet. They mentioned that, while not all gear would follow into this (for instance AH gear), "players' most precious acquisitions" could be upgraded in the future to keep their value.

Players most precious acquisitions...i knew that was the phrase that was ringing in my head..... that would mean RELIC AND MYTHIC WEAPONS.......wouldn't you think that would be a "most precious acquistion" as it takes years to acquire? doesn't even hint at armor...

They were probably referring to AF and AF2.

I'm thinking the Armor trials will be like FoV sorta; You sign up for a mission/quest, then go out and complete it which will sorta be like weapon trials, but they get added up as points like FoV and you spend those points towards the armor piece you want to upgrade, where as some pieces cost more than others and so on.

i really doubt that.. I would bet its going to be just like the weapon trials

That's true, but SE has never released a SS with gear that had nothing to do with an update or w/e they were talking about.

well, it would look pretty odd if they posted screenshots of characters who are naked except for magian weapons.

I know what you mean, but that's not an absolute; There's a Qutrub in that picture too, does that mean there's going to be a Qutrub update?

I know it's an extreme point but just because there's something in the screenshot doesn't mean it's directly related.
