Re: New Equipment (2008/02/19)

Are we sure it's even the weapons we should be looking at?

What's the armor set the dagger wielder is wearing?



Is the middle set in this pic already in game?

Re: New Equipment (2008/02/19)

Pic on the left sports a slightly different model of Hexagun. I've never seen an Amood, if that's whats in the middle, OK. But the guy in the middle is wearing WAR Relic. I'm assuming the Jambiya-type on the left is a new dagger for THF and DNC at lower levels, but its just steel scale mail she's wearing there, I'd think.

Re: New Equipment (2008/02/19)

He's wearing full WAR relic? No wonder I didn't recognize it. I might have caught it if it was on a mannequin or something.

The armor the girl with the "new" dagger (which RDM will yet again be unable to use) is Centurion gear, unless they are recycling the look for new Crystal war armor.

Which they may very well do; isn't the Iron Ram armor basically Iron Musketeer's with new stats, and the Cobra Unit armor Tactician Magician with new stats? (I forget what the Sandorian one is.)

So it's quite possible that some of the new gear will use old models (hopefully not all of it though - well, we know not ALL of it, DNC and SCH af are new models.)

And the new dagger is single-edged, so yeah, very likely RDM won't be able to use it. SE has been pretty consistent about RDM only getting double-edged daggers and swords (except sapara of trials). Not like it matters as long as staves rule.

Re: New Equipment (2008/02/19)

Yeah, there's a good chance of they doing that since this is supposed to be the past.


I'd like to see a Mensur dagger, Blau is good and all but something tells me it's still not worth the change compared to Epee.

Which is bad since I like daggers more than swords, specially when I'm not subbing a Vorpal sub.

Re: New Equipment (2008/02/19)

Yes, the armor on the right is Centurion's Equipment, regular old conquest items.

EDIT:

Yeah, there's a good chance of they doing that since this is supposed to be the past.

Not everything in the past is the same though. Some Far Eastern objects appear in the use of many Crystal War Era parts of WoTG:

1) That commander of the San D' Orian Red Rose Knights. She uses a Great Katana.
2) Burdok Roots harvestable in Grauberg[S] and West Sarutabaruta[S].
3) Colobri in East Ronfaure[S]
4) Refrences to Mithran Mercinaries from the Far East in Windurst.

Re: New Equipment (2008/02/19)

By new "equipment" I thought they were talking about ... clothes. Armors and stuff. Maybe the WoTG version of endgame is coming out and I need to spend yet another 2 hours + of my life trying to get the newest l33t gear.

But just a couple of weapons is pretty disappointing to someone who pretty much only uses 8 staves ... all ... the ... time ...

lol I feel your pain specially as a SMN. As a Blue my options are... not much better lol. It's either that or do my damnedest to do altaieu stuff for Homam.

Re: New Equipment (2008/02/19)

Well, SE DID say we'd be getting a new set of relic weapons in the future with new weapon skills (one for each job ^^)

I still think that's a ways off, seeing as there really isn't any WotG endgame stuff yet and there really isn't reason to add it in yet.

Re: New Equipment (2008/02/19)

I highly doubt SE will make a Scholar-Specific Relic Weapon because they hardly melee at all in the first place, and DNC could use Mandau or Sparti(?). If anything, I would expect SE to add a BLU/COR/DNC Scimitar-type Relic, a COR relic Hexagun, and a DNC/THF/RNG Dagger, maybe add Calaustrum to Scholar.

Just because SCH doesn't really melee doesn't mean they couldn't make a relic weapon for them.

Re: New Equipment (2008/02/19)

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if Scholar didn't get access to any relic weapons. As of yet, no job has received access to a relic weapon that had less then a "B-" rating in any weapon skill, while the highest Scholar has is "C+" in Staff and Club. Since the only other jobs with a rating higher then "C+" in either of those who does not already have a relic weapon is Blue Mage (With B- in Club), the next best thing would be a BLU/SCH club.

I just see no sane reason why SE would make another Club/Staff Relic exclusively for a job who has at most a "C+" in the related skill. Like I said, I think at most SE will give them access to Claustrum or Mjolnir.

Re: New Equipment (2008/02/19)

SAM has a C+ in Archery, yet they can work toward and use the relic bow. I don't see what skill rating has to do with anything.

[Neomage]

Re: New Equipment (2008/02/19)

I guess you got me there. Still, Yoichinoyumi isn't SAM-exclusive. RNG can use it also, and, given that there is already a relic hammer and staff, Scholar could be given one of those instead of making a brand new one.
