They've updated the base stats on the Empyrean Weapons, and holy CRAP @ the GKT & Polearm WOW. Gun is nasty as shit too.

I was under the impression Manifestion was only paired with enfeebles.
Which nixes all spike spells already as they are enhancements.

Well my hope for this is that SE released a screen shot for one of these updates with a picture of a drk doing stunga, but we didnt get the spell. Dread Spikes is still technically dark magic and not enhancing magic so its the same class as stun. Idk, I'll have to race drk to 80 instead of finshing getting thf to 40 since now I'm worried.

Edit: wiki says dark magic works even though the description doesn't mention it. I guess it's gonna fall under whether its a no spike thing or no enhancing magic thing.

I can't believe the magain weapons are that powerful... god help us to see what the relics/mythics get!

or what the requirements for getting magians are

Those are Empyrean weapons and will most likely drop in Abyssea, or be available through some Abyssea related quest.

Empyrean/magian, both inter-related, and yeah probably, that Polearm has 111DMG .... 492 delay. Currently with fully updated Magian Gungnir you only get 107DMG.... so many questions! I'm so stoked.

Like accession haste would be all that broken. SCH can already AoE everything else SMN can, why leave haste out .... Looks like WHM/RDM is going to win out over /SCH in the end after all.

Well, I could have sworn SE said something about "keeping jobs unique."

Also, I see the changes to spell enmity and more nukes for RDM as a hint that we may very well be trending away from burn parties. Face it, the current population of FFXI is growing too small to support the exclusive nature of burn parties. At this phase, I think balanced parties are a better trend, just as they were in the early years.

You can Manifestation Klimaform, and that's Dark Magic.

You should probably be able to Manifestation Dread Spikes.

The note at the bottom of the Empyrean Weapons page says we will be able to update them through Trials of the Magians in a later update, meaning they have no association to ToM at the moment, but will in the future! Hopefully these aren't as hard to get as relic though.

On a side note, update is slow! I have a fast connection, but it still says it going to be two and a half hours!

True, BUT at the top of the page it basically says "these come from trials of the magian and are the best of the god damn best." The scythes delay though seem to finally put a curb stomp on my 5 hit build for drk though. meh.

It says that the weapons are slumbering until taken up by heroes who would avert the world from danger. To me that means that the weapons had already been enchanted by ancient magian moogles and now just need to be found.

We'll only know once the update is finished I guess.

All those damn hunks of metal were sleeping!

Re: The Version Update Has Arrived! (06/21/2010)

Lazy bastards!

Sounds kind of like it's going to be a Relic/Mythic situation though where we get a weak base weapon and then have to upgrade it with various things. Perhaps that's where the Magian Moogle will come in :O

Knowing SE, even though FFXI is slowly dying with the release of FFXIV coming closer, getting one of these weapons will require a year worth of work!
