[dev1296] Aeonic Weapons

A new class of armaments, aeonic weapons, will be added via a new quest.

• Aeonic weapons are of the same caliber as relic, mythic, and empyrean weapons, and possess an aftermath effect that enables the activation of new skillchains that surpass light and darkness.

* Completion of the aeonic weapons requires completion of a quest to be added in a subsequent update.

And here it is folks, while not necissarily from Seakers expansion, another new set of Relic/Mythic level of weapons

My body is ready...... hopfully.

Would be funny if it required Mythic 119, Relic 119, and Empyrean 119 to forge the new weapons. 3 becoming 1!

i would quit lol


unless they make the orig 3 stupid easy to get (more then they are now)
also that woudlnt work cuz some jobs done have a relic


Dear Requirements dont be stupid lol.

All currencies would skyrocket making it the most expensive item ever made and probably impossible to make for someone with a life.

More than "funny" or anything else it would be "impossible", considering how ToAU, WoTG and SoA jobs do not get access to "Relic Weapons" and SoA jobs get access to nothing.
Guess you could consider Ergon to be Mythic equivalents (they are, in the end), but they still have no access to Relic and Empyrean weapons.
Also How would you merge RDM weapons? They get access to Mandau, Excalibur, Mythic Sword, Almace.
And BRD? How do you merge Harp, Gjallarhorn, Carnwenhan and Mandau? Etc etc.


What I'm wondering is if we'll see "Aeonic Armor" (AF4?) as well.
Pic could hint to that (that's new equipment there!) but the text talk specifically only about weapons.
Either there's gonna be Aeonic Armor as well, or the one in the pic is "simply" new gear dropping from Reisenjima with new models.

This looks like the content that will keep people busy for the next few years.

it looks very JSE tho pld looks very pldy war wary etc etc if just armor it woudlnt have the oring AF colors



then again this is Se....

"Armaments" basically says new armor lol. So yes AF4.

No.
Or rather, not necessarily.
"Armaments" is a generic word. It tipically leads to "weaponry" but by extension it could mean anything used to fight, so armor equipment as well.

Yet in their text they specify the word weapon multiple times, and that's not really ambiguous as "armament" could be, is it?
I'd love to see AF4, don't get me wrong, I'm just saying that the current text kinda rules that out =/

That kinda clarifies the terrible work i suppose.... It's basically saying weapons instead of being more ominous and veering over too armor and weapons.

The word itself (aeonic) means something so good it would last forever, our final weapon.

If the requirements will be r/e/m combining lots of people will cry.
If not...lots of people will cry also since they put lots of effort into rem's making them look like crap compared to new one.

Again... how do you release a weapon that is the "combination of r/e/m" when most jobs don't even get access to r? Two also don't get access to e? And some jobs have completely different categories of weapon as their r/e/m? You want to combine a sword with a dagger and then use it as an instrument in your ranged slot?
w

If "combination" is the keyword, clearly it can't be something as simple as getting r+e+m because that would simply be impossible for almost half the jobs in game, period.
Maybe something more elaborate, who knows, but definitely not a simple r+e+m merge.


I might be wrong but it sounds pretty obvious to me that these weapons will be the carrot on a stick bound to the new Reisenjima content about to be released, and likely connected to other previous content as well.
The perfect carrot-on-a-stick to keep players doing what would otherwise be content that nobody would care about.

MUCH HYPE

Hopefully they come with weaponskills too

I can't see them not having a unique weapon skill since it says possess an aftermath that will unlock new skill chains higher then light/dark.

I plan to stock up on HP Bayld/Dyna Currency/Alexandrite/HMP just under an assumption that I can see these weapons requiring some of each to give longevity to the content.

Hope we can earn them in a day lol like most stuff.

Now finishing Yagrush takes priority for me! I'm not doing a melee R/M/E until I see these new weapons.

yeah, but can we still farm t1 escha nms? :)

Of coz for now lol

I would say it will be more to the line of dusk stones eschlixers and airlixers to reive those contents.

Ultramegazord!

I could see it require some as part of a payment. I can't see it being the main payment because none of the previous main REM currencies have been AHable

I certainly wouldn't mind AF4 equipment as a combination of all other AFs in order to get them. Will cause REM page fights to surge again, Vagary wins to surge again, Dynamis to surge again.

But I am mostly concerned about all the forums out there. There will be dire need to Find and Replace all the "REM" with "REMA". We can't possibly get to all of them! Will each person have to go in a edit their posts? What if they are retired? What about quoted text, they won't change when the original of edited will they? And what about "R/E/M"... you can see where this can get a bit hairy.

Quite unlikely because the whole point of new legendary is to keep people grind for another year without major update. Many people already have the previous legendary, they'd just finish this quest without much effort and quit.

Climhazzard > Lionheart = SKILLCHAIN: ULTIMA

Why do people keep bringing this up? It's a bad idea and cannot be implemented. So just drop it. Discussing things that "can" occur, or "might" occur, is one thing. Discussing something that will never happen, that's another. They are adding a new area, so OBVIOUSLY these weapons will come from there.

I may be wrong, but I don't think they've added a club with the 2nd design yet - so maybe this could be Geo Aeonic?
