"packed update"

Prime weapons added, lets go.

https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/May_2023_Version_Update_Changes

meh only the generic weapons

but: CHR+20 Grants two additional song effects All songs +4 Aria of Passion

Missing shield Armor wasn't there yet. Interesting rings.

Nirvanas rendered obsolete lol

Depending how much to get to final form.

It's... interesting that the staff gives MAB to the avatar. I wonder if that will make it BIS for magic with aftermath?

jesus christ that ring

Shields at the bottom - also nice that they updated brd to have 1 instrument now. Really Smart move SE - were do I put my Ghorn and harp after I get it lol

Not really, w/ AM3 it'll still win for physical BPs. Weren't using it for magical BPs already, this new staff definitely replaces anyones Grio though.

No shield on the page I have, now it's there updated in the armor

Throw away Aegis Ochain and Srivatsa and Adamas(though I doubt that still got pulled out honestly)

I’m guessing those Rings are for completing the missions? Good grief. WS Dmg + 10%

Just saw tho rings

Nice...

I'm gonna have to understand more about what the "Damage +10%" is on Fickblix's Ring, otherwise I'm assuming I'd default to Gurebu-Orebu's Ring or Ragelise's Ring for SMN...

Regis BiS DRG savage shield... called it

Ephramad's ring looks the most generally attractive to me, Flickbix's is sexy AF for pet jobs tho.

Edit: Of course Ephramad's might not be that great depending on how big all that aftermath pdl is on primes.

Throw away those stage 3 crafting shields!

Um, Drk Scythe has 400 base damage. I think that is the highest base damage of any weapon correct? Not speaking of just Drk but any job.

Katana not getting any racc aside from 35 AGL makes me sad, hard to keep that dakken racc high enough if not going malignance.

That shield! it's literally a Ochain, Aegis, and Srivatsa put together into one

So Daur and Ghorn are gone? Whew...

Blkuyvuy or whatever that RMT's name is going to have to find some other way to make gil. Who's going to pay him to farm the harp now?

RIP.

None of these explicitly say mainhand only, although have to assume the wses at least are granted mainhand only like other remas. If bst pet lvl+3 works in offhand might be something to look at?

Aegis is still the best at what it does but Duban is nutty

ghorn still bis for debuffs but seems hard to justify making if you don't already have it at this point

It is basically free at this point, so it's got that going for it.

Scythe WS being Cata and Entropy combined is godly

Ambuscade and monthly RoEs are all blank...
