[dev1065] Relic, Mythic, and Empyrean Weapon Upgrades

With the forthcoming version update, players will be able to upgrade equipment to level 99 in two stages:

  • Stage 1
    Possible upgrades will include damage, delay, and weapon skill damage along with other attributes.
    The planned difficulty level for the corresponding Magian upgrade trials will be such that a majority of players with the appropriate level 95 equipment will likely be able to complete them.

    *This content is not yet available on the test server.
     

  • Step 2
    Possible upgrades will include special animations along with "Afterglow" effects that grant status benefits to party members.
    The corresponding Magian trials will be exceedingly difficult to complete, such that only a select number of PCs will be able to upgrade weapons to this stage.

    *Gjallarhorn and Daurdabla may not be imbued with Afterglow effects.


Upgraded Attributes

Please refer to the following charts for descriptions of upgraded weapon attributes:


To test this content, please talk to the Magian Moogle and input the corresponding trial number, as listed in the charts above.
  
Afterglow

Upgrading a weapon to stage two will result in the addition of an Afterglow effect.

  • Afterglow bestows beneficial status effects upon party members in an area surrounding (but excluding) the wielder.

    *Party members must be inside the specified area when Afterglow is activated to receive status effects.

  • The duration for each Afterglow is thirty seconds.

    *The effect of a certain Afterglow will be overwritten if an identical one is activated within that thirty-second timeframe.

  • Separate Afterglow effects will stack if they are cast within the same effect duration.

  • There are five categories of Afterglow effects:

    • Relic Weapons: Increased accuracy and ranged accuracy
    • Mythic weapons: Increased attack and ranged attack
    • Empyrean weapons: Increased critical hit rate
    • Aegis: Reduced magic damage taken
    • Ochain: Reduced physical damage taken

  • Afterglow effects activate when the weapon skill corresponding to the equipped weapon
    For Aegis and Ochain, the effects activate when Shield Bash is used.

  • The hierarchy for overwriting Aftermath and Afterglow effects is as follows:
    One's Own Aftermath: Lv3>Lv2>Lv1>Party Member's Afterglow


Visual Effects

   Weapons upgraded to stage two will display special visual effects when equipped:

  • Relic Weapons

     

  • Mythic Weapons

     

  • Empyrean Weapons


Visual effects will display in the following priority:
Main Weapon>Ranged Weapon>Sub Weapon
 
Other Information of Note

Additional planned features, such as equipment-specific magic spells and pets, have been postponed to allow for more thorough testing concerning attributes, the number of potential users and the process by which to obtain them. One consideration is whether to implement such features as another stage of the above upgrades, or to apply them to a different set of equipment. Also under deliberation is whether to limit the availability of such equipment or make it relatively simple to obtain.

Afterglow is irrelevant because none of you will have it. Also only works on party and not yourself, doesn't stack with aftermath, and seems to be very impotent.

That's how it is on the official forums.

THAT'S RIGHT KIDS: If your BRD has Daurdabla and your PLD has Ochain, the PLD can have 6 songs!

Obvious typo, but yeah. Maybe PLD would actually be useful if they could grant people 3 songs as /brd.

It was already said the first stage of upgrading will have the damage boosts and such and the second stage will only consist of the afterglow

So am I understanding this. Easy trial get an upgrade. SE quality hard trial...get nothing but everyone around you will get it.

Makes sense because you need 18 people to do the trial, they might as well get to feel your awesome power that you don't get to have.

+40% from the base WS, 90s already give a 25% boost.

Sure... that's true if you only have 1 relic/mythic/empy weapon in the whole group...

That's why you need two :P

im liking what SEs doing i onno might just be me but i think everyone bithcin and screaming about 99s in the older threads may look back and say *** we bitched for nothing cause SE still giving us easy 99s without afterglow.

i think its fair to do 2 trials atleast u get the benefits of 99s but gotta work ur *** off for the afterglow.

Said it before, but I think the main reason they are making this aftergow stuff difficult is because it is a glow aura.

Avatars, crystals, maws, ect... you know how you feel about glowy auras already.

Now put together ~7 empy's and maybe a relic or two in some of these VW pickup groups and imagine what 9 glowy aura's would do to your FPS, not to mention your hair.

Just a thought.

The afterglow trial is just for people who have nothing better to do than waste 17 other peoples time, to show off. No substantial benefit even to the group.

At least with relics in the old days, it was an large increase to damage output or magic damage reduction. >.> but was often wasting 30-40 peoples time!

I guess we know the 1000x item trials are for the Afterglow then. Sounds a bit underwhelming on relics bar Aegis, but Mythic and Empyrean afterglows sound pretty swish~

Fingers crossed most of us who upgraded weapons at least have easy access to the "base" 99 version.

Pretty sure they haven't specified yet what the requirements are for the Stage 1 99 trials.
