New Trials (of The Magians) Await Ambitious Adventurers! (05/27/2010)

Are you one of the many adventurers longing to further augment your equipment with marvelous moogle magic via Trial of the Magians? Then you'll be heartened to know that additions and refinements to the system are on the way!

New Weapon Trials
The impending version update will usher in new trials allowing adventurers to take weapons already augmented via prior Magian accomplishments and enhance them further. Needless to say, new trial sequences for relic and mythic weapons will be included among these.

Adventurers will also find new trial varieties available, such as those affording the opportunity to power up one's weapon skills.

These additions are only the tip of the iceberg, however, as future updates promise to unveil the most challenging and rewarding trials yet. It will take every onz of courage and persistence at your disposal to upgrade your weapon to the limit of its capabilities, but rest assured that the prize that awaits you will be worth every step of the journey.

The Miraculous Magian Spectacles
Another addition will be a new item, the "magian spectacles," which may be purchased from the Magian Moogle for a nominal fee. This handy tool will aid in your trials by summoning a Magian trial log to your side, allowing you to review your progress from dungeons or afield.

Trial Objectives Revisited
Certain trial objectives have been reevaluated and will see target quotas reduced among other adjustments. You need not fear if you've already embarked on a trial, for these changes will also be reflected in trials underway at the time of the update.

go go no more 200+ flans or wamoras or flayers, for melee weapons i hope lol

Thank you se!

I was hoping they'd do this more then anything else.

oh oh oh...and make it so sch storms work with the weather trials plz! lol

equip augments wru ? :o

that would be almost asking too much from SE. Im about 3 steps from doing 400 flans for my dakini's. Se hates me so they'll prolly raise it to 600.

lol Gil

Yeah cause that wouldn't just be totally unfair

I still think Death penalty is the worst. 1500 Leaden salute killshots on Dragons lol

I thought I might have seen or maybe I thought it up but wasent se suppose to let you augment your regular weapons like destroyers I mean come on you can do relics and new weapons but not these or elemental staffs. Can some1 let me know on this.

I was all excited about getting the cor gun with MGC ATT bonus +5 until I got to the 100 Buffalo, Now I have to get ppl to come kill them for me or take 20 mins a mob soloing them. I would be pretty happy if they nerfed that one.

Why not get the max dmg? Or do you Leaden salute alot?

Most BLM I ran into stopped on firesday anyway, since They'd rather afk than see one Ice spell in 8 get 10% less damage. A few joined and helped kill though. Black Mages so rarely get to magic burst anymore, Burst II'ing off light for Nigh 4,000 prolly was worth it.

I heard they are adding Relic WSs to ToTM weapons.

/disappears from thread.

Honestly, lol. This is another assumption thread. No one knows what will happen.

I'm thinking about starting a 'What hat should my lv 99 DRK wear, in December?' thread. No one knows, that gear isn't here yet.. >.>

Bet the final trial is to kill black triple stars another 40 times.

It'll be to go AFK for a month straight. (Which I have done before.)

Under a certain weather AND day AND moonphase facing a certain direction with a crit hit

It's funny kojo because I swear I've done at least half of my magian weapons while sleeping, at work, or doing something else. I actually try to form the largest alliance possible with the least amount of people, like 3 parties for just 3 people in case someone afks and another person comes along. You really have to wonder how much entertainment value they thought these would have if you can do them in your sleep.

I started the sword the night ToTM was implemented.. I mean as soon as the servers went up. I'm still 2 kills in, first stage.. I raged bad.

Really? I started like a couple of days after when they actually had the path on wiki and I got all the NMs done that day inbetween salvage and einharjar

I'm hoping they finally make the HQ staves obsolete down the line...I'm not saying make something better, just consolidate the same MAB and MACC bonuses into 1 staff...and same for straps and belts...I wouldn't mind it if the trial involved using all your HQ staves (meaning you'd need to buy them all) in order to open up the trial for the uber-staff.

Was hoping to have salvage gear augmented as they are doing mythic and relic weapons. I am looking forward to the new trials on currently completed Magian Weapons. I do hope that the models change though. Those weapons are really plain/ugly.

I suppose they're not doing armor trials this time around. Or probably not at all. <_<

After all the effort put into my curing staff and thunder dmg staff I'd be pissed if they let me augment my HQ staffs. Especially since I can't even seperately maccro these things

Should make it a Synergy thing. Elemental/Tetra Staff or something. Take all NQ staves and synergize them into an NQ Elemental staff, All HQ staves become an HQ Elemental staff.
