[dev1296] Aeonic Weapons

Guys I might want to come back to the game but I am not activated.

Can someone tell me if Verethragna has been buffed and also Koga/ Vajra since those are the weapons I own.

I heard a rumor AM3 is 5 minutes now?

Also does Aeonic beat R/M/E ?

I have a REAM that one day have a REAM !!!!!!!

Cervelo, REM buffs are coming in the next update when they allow completion of the aeonic weapons. We think.

Just FYI the free login campaign is going on I believe, I was just raiding an old mule that I haven't had active for awhile.

Don't come back it's a trap.

Jk but update hasn't happened yet and no1 really knows how strong aeonic is yet.

Also if only. The tpbonus500 and nothing else carried over i dont see how the 1h aeonic wouldnt be bis offhand for any 1h mythic. Rudras at 1250

The problem is they never wanted people to offhand REMs, because the current weapons don't give you stats if you offhand it. Tizona's convert damage into MP doesn't work, no additional effects from excalibur, etc. I can't imagine them giving you TP bonus stats if you offhand an aeonic weapon.

They never wanted it, but that doesn't mean it's not a valid option anyway. Wasn't Kikoku/Yoshimitsu theoretically the best NIN setup at one point? Empys keep their stat bonuses in the offhand iirc, and didn't they change relics at one point so they would too? It's possible, though not guaranteed, that the STP and maybe the TP bonus will transfer as well.

Has there ever been a TP bonus weapon that carried over to the main hand before? I don't remember anymore.

Magians might have? I honestly don't recall. Other than than I'm pretty sure the answer's no.

I think magians needed to be mainhanded too, I vaguely recall testing it one day when I was bored as *** and was researching crit rates on CDC. I remember being disappointed that I couldn't offhand the TP bonus sword with Almace.

p sure the tp bonus dagger was used offhand for aeolian edge yeah?

Might have been, it's been so long (and even longer since I've cared) that I'm probably just misremembering. Doubt I kept any of the data either

Based on the bg-wiki info, magian TP bonus carries over to main hand.

I guess I am really bad at googling, but i cant seem to find a write up anywhere on where to go for the aeonic weapon quest/whats required.


I know its not complete, but so far the only thing ive read is the 50k bead requirement.

Not sure it's been written up anywhere, but basically it's the following:

1) Finish all Rhapsodies missions and get the Scintillating Rhapsody KI
2) Go to Reisenjima and check the portal, using the KI to warp to a hidden location with 2 goblins
3) The goblin on the right has some dialogue and requests beads in different increments; 100, 500, 1000, 1, which unlocks his collection of weapon KIs.
4) For 50,000 beads, you can get a KI for the weapon(s) of the job you're currently on. Make sure when you pick this up that you're on the job you want, or else you'll be stuck with the wrong KI.
5) Kill all Gaes Fete NMs in Escha - Zi'Tah. This includes Wrathare and the other "hidden" pop NMs.
6) Kill all Gaes Fete NMs in Escha - Ru'Aun. This includes Kirin and Warder of Courage, as well as the other gods and AAs.
7) Kill all Gaes Fete NMs in Reisenjima. This includes Teles and the 6 new high level NMs.
8) Unknown final steps, but there's dialogue found that has the goblin talking about "goads and fragments". Judging by SE's statements, this is likely some challenging battle content or some minor thing, and not something you farm.

If their statements are accurate, then the only "farming" aspect of making an Aeonic is the 50k beads. I presume that for making additional weapons, you'd begin the process again at step 4.

With the statement about "goads and fragments" I'm wondering if the final requirement is going to involve the Animated Weapons from Dynamis - Xarcabard? That's the only "goads and fragments" I can think of that currently exist, unless they plan to add more.

My guess is high level versions of the Animated Weapons.

any new word on this since update?

They're adjusting aftermath, so they'll need some time.

The sadist in me still wishes they would adapt a final weapon which requires all i119 RMEA weapons to create.

I mentioned that last month in a thread and some dude got mad. So don't!

yea I've said it before and people get mad lol

Do you need to get the NM clears on the job you selected for the aeonic?

For example, if I obtained the Malformed Sword KI, and I wanted to obtain all my NM kills on SMN, will I get credit?

No, you do not need to be on that job for the clears to count. Bought the sword, killed all of Zi'tah on SCH.

Thank you for the quick reply!

Praise be to Yevon.

Are you saying you have to get the KI first and then kill all NM's? for each KI? and not retroactive?

Correct. Need to re-clear the NMs for each weapon. Otherwise you'd just kill all NMs once and buy every single Aeonic.

It has to be in order, too. That is, all Zi'Tah, and then all Ru'Aun, and then all Reisenjima. If Warder of Courage is something your crew is figuring out, you might wanna wrap up the Zi'Tah stuff as soon as you can.

Also, made a slight edit to my above post to include that Teles and the other new NMs are required.

is there some kind of progress tracker that comes with the KI's? or something that tells you what to kill next or put into groups? (like killing sky gods in any order ect)
