Voay Sword

Is it just me, or with this sword the +70~ sword skill is not reflecting when wearing this sword, do anyone else have a issue with this

It's not supposed to.

It says on the weapon though.

did you try calling a gm?

+skill on new weapons with an ilevel are handled differently from +skill on gear and older weapons. It will not reflect in your skill menu, but it will reflect on your listed att value (as well as acc but that is not listed on any menu). You're essentially getting all the benefits of +skill from your main hand weapon, but you can't use the skill bonus to do things like access weaponskills you don't have a sufficient skill level for. It's working as intended.

On a less constructive note, that sword is amazingly ugly.

Kind of weird when all other gear with skill+ on it lists values in the stats menu. I can't remember if those items also effected whether or not you could use a weapon skill before actually obtaining said skill level.

Also, that weapon looks like a rusted propelor dipped in a bull's ***, and washed off with ***. It's especially fugly when on the back of a 99WAR/DNC wearing full pearl gear. Just makes it stand out even more.

It did. Warriors could get full red Abyssea procs with merits and +skill gear to get weaponskills like Tachi: Koki.

Thanks, been a while and couldn't remember. I tried to always keep my skills capped, or at least on jobs I cared about. One good thing about Abyssea was the ability to level fast and cap skills relatively quickly.

So, if all other gear shows in the stat menu and effects skills, why doesn't the new weapons? Is it because of the ungodly large amount of skill placed on said weapon?

To confuse everyone of course!
