Mandau /wristing

Except some of the 75 armour is still perfectly relevant in the modern gear sets E body is just one of them....

I understand the concept and no it is not difficult to grasp...

But look at E body... and other armours from 75 era that ARE still relevant in todays gear sets. Not everything including current weapons are suddenly going to become complete ***.

The director didn't explicitly say that he had no further plans to enhance those items. This is not the case for R/M/E.

Had they been left as they were, they would be almost uniformly obsolete.

And by the same token we are not going through a huge transition of 75-99.

We are staying the same lvl id be very suprised if a few months from now they suddenly released a 195 base dmg GA or something.

Maybe they have plans for more ws? maybe plans to further adjust the merit ws... who knows... if they do then yea that in itself may well blow out the need of empys... atm its just speculation.

So R/M/E owners are unable equip these new weapons? Some sort of latent where you can't have a legendary weapon in your inventory along with these recently added ones?

Oh, sarcasm font on the above post. My bad.

For empys... not really they take barely any time to build...

Relics meh they do take some form of grind... which is longer than empys if your soloing.

Mythics... yea there is an invisible latent where you aint takin it off? and why? it is the hardest weapon in the game to build... if I was a mythic holder right now i think id be pretty pissed at them saying they arent going to be further improved....


Again though thats ASSUMING they WILL bring out far and above superior weapons to certain mythics/relics/empys.

Depends which mythic.

My mannequin is perfectly fine wearing his locked Nagi.

Have you read all of Matsui's posts?


When he's saying that he's releasing gear strong enough to create a "virtual level," in the vein of, say, Tera's item levels, that's a pretty *** big leap.

how rude

what about me and that one other guy on shiva or whatever

when will se start considering the needs of the 0.00001% of players

Please refer to my post regarding the consequences of FFXI moving to the standardized "gear treadmill" model.

you hit the nail on the head there.

Strong points made there that I agree with, much more thought out than the "my dagger isn't the *** anymore, waaahhh" vibe I had been getting through some of this thread.

Point well made Ana. Unfortunately, I don't know that there's any other option at this point. They already killed off the old content, and much of the old gear has been trivialized, the only outliers being the cream of the crop. Abyssea was the nail in that coffin I believe, but in my opinion it was an ingenious move... that they just failed to capitalize on. We needed more and more content to replace the old content that was made near obsolete, like the mass of content that was Abyssea. It was a fresh idea and perspective that, if they followed through with, I believe, would've given the game more than a second wind.

My question is. I'm 49/70 on the last stage of my Manadau but with all the new daggers that just came out, is it even worth finishing my relic?

Might as well finish it while currency is cheap. because once upgrades come out, they are gonna sky rocket again.

is nobody else going to touch this

ms cleo up in this ***

If SE is considering adjusting r/e/m like the huge post suggests, then you'd kick yourself for not finishing. You're probably closer now, but you were 21 away from a loan to finish the longest part of the relic.

Getting to 95 will take about a week if you slow play it or have a limited LS to help with dyna beauc and xarca fights. You can hold off on 99ing it until we see what the improvements, if any, will be, and still obtain a great weapon for use until you get one of the delve weapons.

They won't because assclowns can't wait ten minutes before going.. "WHY AREN'T MY ITEMS SELLING. UNDERCUT GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

if you honestly believe the value is higher than people are selling for, the logical move is to buy all the cheap currency and reprice it higher

you know, instead of crying that economics are working like economics

I did this with devious die for a bit, but it's still simple economics: supply/demand. On Bismarck people are still farming currency, but many have moved on to delve, so supply > demand.

I thought people were going to stop farming dyna tbh. If you're not farming a relic you can actually make more money farming other areas unless you're pulling 300+/run in dyna, and if solo on certain jobs that's not always going to happen.

I would, but that honestly wouldn't change anything considering how accessible Dynamis is now, and I'm sorry for being whiny / shitty / negative and going off topic.
It was unnecessary and childish. Getting undercut like for the 3rd week now on like every item I attempt to flog is getting to me ._.

Anywho~ I believe you should keep going and complete Mandau. I know there isn't a time frame on when they're going to augment the R/M/E for the time being and honestly, it sucks, but I promise you if and when they do, you'll not regret it.

I often thought when I was making Excalibur that I should just abandon it considering when I was making it on and off between the last 3~4 years mythics got announced, RDM getting less appealing, Emp weapons, BLU being more fun, but I was patient and even now with these new weapons I do not regret making Excalibur!

There's always going to be content that SE will release that will contest / trump other equipment but if you pursue and complete your relic and SE (whenever they decide to~) update R/M/E closer to Delve/ whatever weapons they're called... You know that it'll be worth all that effort you put it in and you'll love it!

I would finish it were I you. Still an accomplishment, and it will be upgraded later as well. I would hope SE would keep relics' dignity intact while designing the upgrade features.
