I took Dragon Fangs on a mule because it already has 99 MNK and I'd like to test the WS.
420 H2H skill
204 STR
194 DEX
Normal hits do 1121~1177 damage non-crit, 1416~1485 crit, which matches the expected base 295 base damage with capped fSTR.
Dragon Blow with 1014 TP does 6488 to 6778 damage.
Wiki says it's a 100% DEX mod, which would make that a range of 3557~3576 / 1024 http://fTP.
OK, I went and got out my gorget. It's something more like an 80% DEX mod. My first WS with gorget on missed the main hit, landed offhand for 1775 damage (should be 1FTP), which implies a base damage range of 444~467 and rules out a 100% DEX mod. Looks like removing alpha just never happened on the wiki. It's an 85% DEX mod.
As someone who hasn't played in a few years, are any of these really game changing for any job if you want to 2-3 man content? I've been leaning towards the Darkblade (I also few of the REMA weapons for ninja too), but not sure.

this coupon thing wont expire right? im still new to FFXI! I do like BRD, NIN, and RDM though. What are the actual BiS?
Can you trade the item and receive it as a KI for later use.
From what I've read, Miracle Cheer is decent till you have all the fun BRD REMA, but is all around okay for just 15 minute songs without the worrying about NiTro times/singing and forgetting. NIN people are over the moon giving shadows to friends. And RDM :S I have no clue.
As much fun as it is to make fun of the lifers who can't pick one.
It's a really unfair choice for someone relatively new to just make a decision that will impact their entire game life like this.
There's not going to be a right choice. You aren't going to know what you want for a reasonably long time.
Yup. Outside of a kaja weapon, and if their lucky to have gotten a pulse outside of deeds - a completed ambu weapon - it's a newer players first "BIG" weapon.

Short answer - no.
These are toys. Fun, not game breaking.
They're very strong if you are a new or returning player. Some of them rival weapons you'd otherwise have to work towards. Some of them are better than weapons you'd have to work towards.
Some of them are pure utility, too. They're like a wonderful shake up. Returnees and newbies that get some of these are gonna have a lot easier of a time getting their other goals accomplished!
I am mostly curious how long the vouchers will be given for.
Cause you know what's going to happen. People are going to expect certain jobs have bonanza weapons. You literally get them for free, why don't you have X.

Not sure if this is accurate. For lowman specifically , things like yagyu are definitely game changing. It can alter specific strategies completely.
