Upgraded Tizona and Almace ***on anything we can currently wield just on base stats + existing properties alone. I may even finish my Almace to offhand.

Until we know what augments Colada can get and how Sequence truly works, Tizona/Almace dumpsters absolutely everything. It's not even close. They're basically a 30% pure DPS increase over Claid/Nibiru.

Where can I see the upgraded RME weapon stats? Quick scan of recent/relevant threads has yielded nothing.

That is the only four shown, but based on that you can just look at the other Aeonic weapons to guess how they will be. Tizona will be 158-162 dmg with 186 magic dmg, and maybe 5 more macc

I'm building one as a pet project. I might keep it going, depends on how hard it is to build the aeonic weapons.

start spamming Qilin this month to finish my Almace for offhanding
when I say "started one as a pet project" I mean "I have 25 helms and then I got bored".

And not sure if the hands can beat Adhemar anyway, since no STP. Unless you can get STP + triple attack roll on augments

Each stone for all the augments. For Herculean you decide Melee/Magic/Range/Familar first, then each stone focuses on one of the slots over the others.

Pellucid Stone focuses on acc/attack slot
Fern Stones focuses on the special slot, like triple attack/crit hit rate etc
Taupe focuses on Stats(+15 dex)

Yeah, if you want to go for a straight WS piece though, you would go with crit hit dmg instead of triple attack. Since already has +2 triple attack, can have +5% crit dmg on it as well

Only the feet are really looking good for TP. Can stick with Adhemar elsewhere. Can make the hands into a WS piece and you're good to go. Don't think the body/legs/head will be really worth it, unless you can get higher rolls on body pieces

Kaftan should win, since its 5/5. Max you will get is +5 crit hit dmg, or if you want to go all crit hit rate it will be +8% crit hit rate on the body. At best you are looking at 44 dex, 3 crit, 5 crit hit dmg on the body. And you would have to dump a lot of stones into it to get Dex and crit hit dmg at the same time.

From what I have seen, you are not getting +15 dex on it and crit +5. It will be at best +10 and +5.

And that will be exceptionally rare, since you can get any stat on it. Ranging from 1-15 with Taupe, and no +stat at all with any other stone.
