| | Mocchi: Geomancer and Rune Fencer Artifact Armor
The artifact armor for Geomancer and Rune Fencer (also known as AF1) is planned to be introduced as level 99 equipment.
Since the artifact armor has traditionally been introduced for level 50~60 in the past, I will explain why we are planning to introduce these at level 99.
Because the locations of Adoulin are balanced at level 99 or higher, expanding the quests within Adoulin areas will include monsters that are level 99 and above. In a place where monsters were level 99 or above, you would not be obtaining level 50~ equipment.
Also, more importantly, because we would like the artifact armor to be utilized in battle in Adoulin, we determined that we should introduce it at a more practical level.
We are currently planning for the artifact armor to be approximately item level 105, but since it is currently being adjusted, this may change.
With the item level set like this, the difficulty of the quests will be set to match, and will be like when the original artifact armor was added, likely requiring a party to complete.

| | Geomancer and Rune Fencer Artifact Equipment
As we mentioned previously, artifact armor for both geomancer and rune fencer will be implemented during the next version update.
The plan is to release this new equipment for level 99 and I would like to explain why the development team decided to do this.
First, one reason is that Adoulin content is for level 99+ and as such the monsters in those areas are extremely high level, and trying to acquire level 50-60 gear in these areas just doesn't make sense.
The other major reason is that most of you are looking forward to wearing these new artifact armors to do battle with the monsters that lurk in Adoulin areas, so the development team made the decision to implement them at the proper level in which they can be used.
Item-level wise we are planning for these to be at least level 105, but as it is still in development, it may change.
With that said, the quest difficulty will match the item-level, so you might feel a bit nostalgic having to organize parties to hunt down this gear, much like you all had to do back in the day for your first artifact sets. | |

| | Asura.Sechs (Zhronne) said: »Does this mean that RUN and GEO won't get Relic armor and Empyreal armor? |
In the next version update, only geomancer and rune fencer artifact armor will be added.
As Camate mentioned previously, this gear is for level 99 (item level 105), so while the term artifact is used, you can consider that it will be more powerful than that of the level 50-60 artifact for other jobs.
We'll keep you posted on information about other equipment for these jobs as it becomes available! | |

| | Mocchi: GEO/RUN (and other jobs) Armor Follow-up
We plan for the monsters to be defeated in the quests to be popped NMs. We will also be adding bayld exchange equipment at item level 106. If you possess that equipment and weapons from Skirmish or better (item level 105), the difficulty of defeating these should be fine for six or fewer people.
I had previously forgot about it, but the AF quests generally start with a weapon instead of armor. Is there any plan to add weapons to these jobs? Perhaps the weapons shown on the Adoulin website?
As in the past, the quest series will begin with a weapon, not armor. For Geomancers this will be a club and for Rune Fencers it will be a great sword. The items levels for each will be the same as for the armor.
The job-specific equipment shown for rune fencer and geomancer on the Adoulin website are something else besides artifact and will be added at another time.
Item level of GEO and RUN AF
Previously, we stated that the item level for the artifact armor for these two jobs would be 105. To balance them appropriately with the bayld equipment to be added at the same time, we've changed these to item level 109.
Other GEO and RUN job-specific equipment
For equipment which corresponds to the Empyrean and Relic armor that other jobs can obtain, it is scheduled to be added at some point in the future.
Job-specific equipment for existing jobs
We have plans to add job-specific equipment for existing jobs in the future.

| | Greetings everyone,
I have a bit of information to share with you about in regards to rune fencer and geomancer artifact equipment.
About the quest to obtain artifact equipment
The quest monsters you will need to fight in order to obtain rune fencer and geomancer artifact equipment will be a trigger popped monster.
In the next version update we will be adding item level 106 weapons and armor which can be purchased with Bayld, so by possessing these items, or Skirmish grade weapons (level 105), these quests can be undertaken with less than 6 people.
As many of you have been wondering, just like previous artifact equipment quests, these new quests will begin with the artifact weapon. Rune fencers will receive a nice shiny great sword, while geomancers will receive a club and bell. These will be roughly the same item level as the equipment.
Item level for rune fencer and geomancer artifact equipment
Previously we had mentioned that the item level for rune fencer and geomancer artifact equipment would be 105; however, due to the fact that we will be implementing the Bayld items mentioned above, we have decided to change the level to 109.
Rune fencer and geomancer job-specific equipment
We'll introduce relic and empyrean armor for rune fencer and geomancer in the future.

They may end up adding in new gear for each job later on as the content level increases, but I'm glad that they decided to go this direction.

Okay that is all I needed to hear. If I can't solo/duo it, I'm not going to bother. Too little too late anyways.

I second the idea of how cool it'd be if they made AF4 type gear for each job with an associated quest similar to the above with equivalent level at 105 (or even slightly higher).

Must have started in 2004, because you're willing to use the "I started in X" defense.
Edit: Don't get me wrong, you're totally right about different strokes for different folks, and I am only being a smartass. It's just fun to see someone post a passive-aggressive complaint about something not fitting their needs, then defend it with "to each his own."

Glad they are doing this. Releasing specialized gear that would never get used and be born obsolete would kinda suck. If it was level 50-60 it'd 1-2 macro pieces at best like it is for most jobs.

I don't buy the The other major reason is that most of you are looking forward to wearing these new artifact armors to do battle with the monsters that lurk in Adoulin areas, so the development team made the decision to implement them at the proper level in which they can be used.
Only select AF pieces were best in slot full-time pieces back in the day, and some never got used (unless you couldn't afford real pieces). And now a days certain jobs still were certain relic +2 pieces even though they're lvl90 in lvl99 content. No you don't full-time them, but what gear seriously gets full-timed besides weapons?

Kinda stupid they are not making 50-60 AF as well, not everyone leachs there jobs like SE intended. Some have patients & enjoy the grind. in which some gear enhancing your /ja or /ma would be nice at those LVs to help you get to & past 75 and on to 99. Like (AF & Relic)

Hopefully the quests are fun, maybe with a little lore thrown in and not just something like having the gear drop from soul pyres at infuriatingly low rates.

I would assume they're going to give GEO-RUN less sets. Especially RUN, because even SE has no idea what to do with that job.

How dare they not create five useless pieces of equipment
Are people serious right now? Can we not encourage them to spend additional resources on equipment that 99% of the playerbase would never take out of storage?

Sadly, I fear this is more about "lets make 1 ok to use set instead of 3 meh sets" at the moment. I'm not sure the current team could develop a Polaroid picture in less than 3 months.....
By Tsol 2013-06-04 15:32:36
RUN and GEO probably won't have Relic/Empy gear like all of the other jobs. Does it suck? Maybe. But let's be honest. These jobs were designed with higher tier content in mind. It doesn't make any sense to back fill equipment just for the sake of uniformity. Why make gear that'll never get used in the modern FFXI schema?
It's the same concept as to why ToAU jobs and WotG jobs didn't get added to relic weapons. Those jobs weren't designed for them. Yes, they got gear but at the time jobs were capped at 75, there was no abyssea and everyone still went through the exp grind. It made sense to add that gear with how the game was being played.

I'm pretty sure people are willing to help one another out for new gear. If you don't want to deal with other either dual or triple box or get delve gear.
Actually there's only a select few pieces you would full time usually and it's in the form of accessories.
I hope they add useful relic pieces to dyna so it boosts up the attendance as well as empryean. Long ways to go though.

The only solution I can think of that would make both sides happy is to introduce AF for 50-60, adding the AF+1 pieces to Limbus making the armor level 74, and finally introducing an AF+2 system that would bring the armor to level 99 (or like they said, level 105 item-level wise). You could do what they did in Dynamis and make it easier to upgrade to +2 if you already had the +1 version.
It would delay it by an update or two, but it would give everyone the option to have it at the levels they want.
But at the rate SE works, it would take 6-10 months just to do this... so I'd prefer that they stay on track and just introduce the equipment for level 99.

They should do AF1 AF2 AF3 & Relic for the jobs regardless if its "useless" people still play in old school partys, in fact most LS & friends i no have been LV there new jobs old school, so screw them? I dont see how making AF LV 99 is even a respectable decision. As they say theres no LV 50-60 mobs in SoA well no ***but how do you LV from 1-90? (Basic exp partys, Or Leaching in Aby)
Its pure lazyness imo & showing how much attention & thought they really give to XI.
"Eh lets just make LV 99 AF screw the rest, i dont feel like making more gear"
i no SE says dammit theres still people Lv old school wtf is wrong with you people we made Aby so you wouldn't have to!!!
Put some god dam effort to the game stop making poor lazy *** descisons, we all pay to play and get ripped off with every update with all these ***ideas they day dream up.
