These remind me a lot of the skirmish weapons. Easy to get. relatively useless augs. Cool lockstyles if that's your thing.
Ultimately a gigantic failure and waste of time and resources, outside of some weird niche stuff; melee flute, cure potency guns, pet tp bonus

It just doesn’t make any sense to make them so….. bland. Don’t think anyone was expecting a prime or even like… any sort of PREMA replacement, but damn… atleast have them spiced up with some salt and pepper in the form of an “While in limbus” aug. These are straight up boiled chicken on a plate sadge . -.

If they were good people would be mad they had to do more limbus to get them. I don't see the problem here.

These weapons could be cool if you could farm the R30 relatively fast. With the amount of insane grind that is (currently) required, uhmm... nope?
Isn't the sword nice on COR if you want to focus on magic damage for Quickdraw, Leaden, Wildfire etc though?

Curator Moogle was removed despite Archduke event running until July.
Also, Divinator got a funny upgrade. (Copy/paste mistake or did they shift a bunch of IDs?)

I once again thank SE for not giving me a reason to resub.
Garbage weapons.

I'd have to imagine these are missing an augment (#4), or there are multiple paths? Or the final product is straight up hidden. Thorny is thorough with his info, so very unlikely he missed something, but these augments are so bad. I can't fathom why they think someone will want to spend 5 shards on these and weeks of farming limbus for some HP. Atrocious. Asura.Eiryl said: » These remind me a lot of the skirmish weapons. Easy to get. relatively useless augs. Cool lockstyles if that's your thing. The alluvion ones? Because I can at least say back then REMAs were harder/took longer to build, and at least from memory the alternatives werent super plentiful and they were at least comparable to other alternatives at the time so if you just wanted to gamble stones instead of getting a delve II augmented weapon they were decent These are just worse versions of the dynamis weapons, just with added DT. I'm not sure why they thought these would need to require just as much grinding as armor ontop of yet again using the same resource pool but atleast new players got an easy 3-7m weapon they can buy off the AH if they're struggling to get a pulse drop Nariont said: » atleast new players got an easy 3-7m weapon they can buy off the AH if they're struggling to get a pulse drop There isn't a single new player who will waste their time with this convoluted crafting process of buying 5 unique shards and farming 1 of each matter to make the jewel, to uncurse the weapon for these mediocre arms. They'd sooner buy a Dynamis NQ/HQ1 weapon for a fraction of the cost and get use out of it immediately. Then sell it back if they don't augment them and replace it with a better weapon when they get there.

173 DMG for greatsword has got to be a typo right
Did people really want more reasons to have to grind Limbus content longer? I'm relieved with the update!

SE XIV Team: "Hey Intern, don't forget, you have to make the new Limbus weapons by tomorrow."
Our Overworked, Underpaid XIV, XI Intern: "Uhh let's see, how does FFXI's code work again? Uhh the kids love the Alabaster Earring it has haste... PDL is all the rage... I like Corsair, so they need to be on the 2nd sword and it needs 52 MAB, obviously. Now that, that's done... Copy paste. Copy paste. Copy paste. Shift some IDs. All done. Maybe I can make it home in time for Ametalk!"

Thorny is thorough with his info, so very unlikely he missed something I've been wrong before, but these were placed right after the limbus armor in the grouped augments. There are exactly 16 of them, to match exactly 16 new weapons(shield/grip). Two of them don't have dmg+(shield/grip). Some have a full 4 stats(pet ones). I'm relatively confident in this case.
[+]
As a COR I'll be the only one who will go through the *** of one of these because I still love Leaden Salute. Better class fantasy than spamming Savage Blade.
[+]
anyone know if the augments on shield are worth pursuing ?
Quote: The issue wherein the effects of the jubilee ring are not activated under certain conditions. Well in happier news I had just started doing automaton magic skill yesterday with Jubilee and only saw .1 to .5 over the course of ~100 skill ups. However today I've seen .6, .8 and ".10" which appears to actually be 1.0 so that's quite nice.

Link the weapons here.
It's really a shame if the augs are this bad. Some of them look really good. There's some cool lockstyle pieces here if nothing else.

Quote: Time for Hot Shot supremacy actually. Get two of the new sword, dual wield'em, and 9-line them Hot Shots in Limbus. CORs flexing Hybrids, let's go! It's still way better to mainhand OaT rostam for hot shot/leaden spam though. You only need one of these new swords for the extra MaB offhand. I'll pick one up when I get a chance; I like leaden too. Corsair sword and grip are the only two things that interest me tbh. Rest is just lockstyle or pass.

Isn't the sword nice on COR if you want to focus on magic damage for Quickdraw, Leaden, Wildfire etc though? would have been cool if wep RP came from killing mobs IN limbus, so you could rp it while you worked on armor. I would be more motivated to do floor climbs for sure if that was the case. Another miss in content engagement for the sake of enforced longevity imo.

I would be more motivated to do floor climbs for sure if that was the case. Another miss in content engagement for the sake of enforced longevity imo. Honestly how it should have been for the armor too with the jewels just being a bigger RP dump... Or at the very least 1 tower = chest and just let us pick the tower we want to farm instead of needing the entire 2 hour climb to walk out with 1 shard. The armor is nice, but in no way is it reasonable to have 10 clears a week with 1 clear being 2 hours (trusts, no multibox, solo) and you might only get 1 augment rank a week on one piece out of the 20 hours it'd take, especially when a lot of the jobs use 3-4 of the pieces for different sets on top of the earring.

Shiva.Liam said: » would have been cool if wep RP came from killing mobs IN limbus, so you could rp it while you worked on armor. Or just get rid of the stupid shard/matter and let you freely RP weapons with units. They're not even competitive gear, the gate is silly. On that note, someone in the Limbus thread said that they need all 5 race shards to uncurse a weapon. Are you going to need all 5 race shards for every single rankup too? Little bit annoying.
