First they said yes, then they said "equivalent to mythic", so we don't actually know yet. I would say the former is what we're going to get and not the 30,000 alexandrite super long process of an ultimate weapon. This has been debated a lot, but the LAST thing they said was not "mythic", but a weapon of equal value.

SE said they'd make new mythic weapons for the new jobs. (The mythic weapon is part of the JSE sets we have: Every job has their AF, AF2, AF3 and mythics). They also said that the expansion would have it's own set of legendary weapons - like Zilart had Relics, TAU the mythics, Abyssea had its Empyreans (sorta), and Adoulin will have something new for us to strive for.

Never read anything about that, just about mythic and that the new jobs won't be added to relic or empy.

As I recall they said they actually specifically said something against that. If something like REM was going to come I imagine it'd be towards the end of the expansion similar to how the Myriad Arms of Balrahn didn't come until way late into TOAU.

And if you consider that Abyssea / WoE / Voidwatch are all sort of loosely tied together with WotG then Emps are WoTG's "ultimate weapons" and they sure came late~

Lore-wise the relic-type weapons that fit into the lore of WOTG specifically are...er, relics. lol

(Well other weapons from another dimension, which Empyreans are I guess)

I seem to remember something about this as well, they said something about it briefly in one of the Q/A's about the expansion i think after vanafest.

not 100% sure did a quick google search and couldn't find info :/

Greetings,

To answer the question about "why can't these new jobs also use relics?"

The main reason why rune fencers and geomancers will be unable to equip Relic and Empyrean weapons is because those weapons were created and balanced around the jobs that existed at the time. This is also the reason that blue mage, corsair, puppetmaster, dancer and scholar were never given access to relic weapons.

However, as Mythic weapons are job-specific, it won't be a problem to design a weapon that is best suited specifically for rune fencers or geomancers.

As an additional note, when we release content for these new jobs in Seekers of Adoulin, they will be able to earn the equivalent of Relic equipment, Empyrean equipment, and Mythic weapons. We simply used these terms to make it clearer and we haven't officially decided on what names these types of equipment will take.

I've always interpreted the bolded part as meaning "the new jobs will get the relic/empy/mythic equivalents" meaning a new set of legendary weapons and JSE from this expansion, but they just didn't know what to call the next sets yet. In the case of gear, from Artifact to Relic to Empyrean to "X." So rather than just give us a temp name they used terms we are already familiar with. What's the equivalent of a Relic, an Empyrean and a Mythic? Well considering that the topic focus seemed to be about weapons (and why RNF and GEO aren't on familiar legendary weapons) I concluded that the equivalents would be a set of legendary weapons we'd never seen before. Though I'm about 70% certain I read that they were releasing new JSE and weapon sets

However, now that I'm looking at it even without my coffee at 5:30am, I can see that Camate may have been intending to mean that the new jobs will be given their own Relic equipment (ie AF2 armor), Empy equipment (AF3 armor) and Mythic weapons - but they just didn't know what to call them (Like how White Mages have Healer, Clerics and Orison gear, they'd not worked out the naming scheme for Rune Fencers and Geomancers at that time.)

It's too early in the morning. I shouldn't be thinking so hard.

They said rnf and geo won't get empies, also they said their main weapon would be sword and gsword (though i think their A+ is Gsword)

Website only lists Windows® PC (Digital Download), Xbox 360® as available platforms so no hard copies for PC presumably.

So would you have to buy it through your SE account and then download the expansion via POL?

Currently through your SE account page, you can purchase the older expansions with crysta, I'd assume they'll do the same for the upcoming expansion, it should automatically download for everyone even if they don't have it when it goes live, they just wont be able to enter those areas without a cdkey activated to their account.

I think the only reason I noticed it was because I was being a cheap *** and never bought the shantoto expansion, it only shows what you don't have.

Select Service > FFXI > Options List > Play online ID Options - Registration Codes (Purchase) > Disclamer blah blah Next > List of Expansions not purchased to account here.

You can use Crysta or ClickandBuy after selecting the service you wish to purchase, I'm guessing this is where the Seekers will show up when it's ready.
