Question About Relic/Empy Weapon Skills.

So been away a while probably not coming back but just curious as i've not been keeping up.

Was reading a bit in the ranger guide section out of curiosity and saw mention of using jinshu's raidiance with yoichi's bow.

Basically curious whats required to learn empy/relic weapon skills without the weapon and what if anything is the draw back besides no aftermath effect.

Edit: Actually as long as im asking questions here was curious what it takes to upgrade relic weapons and the like from their 99 version?

Empyrean weaponskills can be unlocked from lvl90 empyrean weapons or lvl99 WoE weapons for use with any weapon of that type. Mythic have always been accessible for any weapon, and relic WS are still tied to their respective weapon, stage 4 dynamis weapon, or applicable latent abyssea weapon.

RME's that are already at lvl99 require 300 of a specific item to upgrade to 119.

I remembered about mythic ws' 's why i only asked about empy/relic, in any case thanks for responding.

How easy is it to farm ADL in item level gear? and out of curiosity how hard would it be for me to catch up with the curve now if i haven't played at all since a few months before this expansion?

Hmm how much easier is dynamis farming with tier gear for that matter?

Dyna and ADL are lvl90 content and in iLVL gear you're basically 113-119. Fodder is hard to keep alive long enough to proc, haven't done ADL since iLVL, so I can't say about that. I'd imagine he can still ruin your day pretty easily if you let him get a tera slash or dynamic implosion off, or pick the wrong clone too many times.

Getting about 85% caught up will take a matter of days, getting some of the more obscure things done may take longer. Delve MB's are still a pain to get wins on if you don't have friends, for example.

ADL is still unwinnable if he wants to be. You can pick the wrong clone forever or he'll do back to back aoe terror. Once tera slash/death goes off, or regen5/embrava wears, you're dead.
