Scholar AF and 40 WeaponFollow

I assume that these are not in the game yet, or are they?

Then let us speculate about the weapon!

I think it would be really funny if the AF "Weapon" was a ranged item that looked like a book and gave some minor bonus to the job.

They should get something like this.

I remain hopeful that it'll be a "book" that goes in the ranged slot or something that a little thought was put into.

Although yes, it will probably be a club that'll be borderline (if not completely) useless and 100% outclassed by the elemental staves at 51+

Already? Its been 2 weeks...

I thought it was easy to understand but i guess not.

They will not put the af of scholar and dancer in the game until they see how the player base uses it. Do your really want af like the useless af of 90% of the jobs who first jobs did?

No.

We want useful af, like corsair, and blu got. Stuff that helps us do what it is we need to do.

No comment to the level 60's already.

These are similar enough. AF really isn't that hard to make honestly. I mean I guess they might be worried about some radical change like nin but really sch af to be useful, int, mnd, mp, and casting skills. They know how mages work, they know their own equation, etc. They leave so much stuff out just to give themselves things to patch. All I'm saying is they could put a little more effort into just getting at least AF out with a job, really taou jobs are STILL missing jse and relic, and af+1, do we even have a merit category yet I havn't looked?

I mean don't get wrong square did a good job making these classes and stuff but they could put some more effort into adding the things we really want instead of stuff like the nearly worthless abj. sets they added in toau. I just find it hard to believe they have this much trouble comming up with jse, af, and relic, and they're not intentionally withholding it.

I saw this sketch right after they announced SCH.

That would be a cool AF weapon :D

We need an AF Book (Club).

Admit it. You want to see your scholar club something to death with a grimoire.

Seriously, an AF wand (baton?) of some kind sounds like a likely winner.

The problem I have is if it was just AF I'd agree they're probably seeing how things develope. What gets me is for toau they've yet to add jse, relic, relic custom, af +1, etc. Despite that though they have time to add abj. sets that are harder to obtain and much less effective than other pieces of armor that already exist. Until they got homam set drg's armor selection was a joke. Much of hte armor they add in general is useless.

Basically it's just hard to accept that they're taking a wait and see approach given their past record.

I was thinking about the AF a lot for SCH and was wondering what they could make the stats like, I might be the only one here, but personally, I am not finding the weather spells to be very useful. I cast light on whm's, ice maybe on blm's depending on what he is casting, but the damage or curing that they do is not a noticeable difference at all. going off topic there but my point is, how about the AF gear has things like... Head gear gives refresh effect when in dark weather, Body gives Regen effect when in light weather etc etc for other parts.....you can agree or disagee but this is just my idea which i thought would be useful in most ways and give the weather effect spells more of personal use.

How come every time a post is necro bumped it's by someone with a new account here?

Perhaps doesn't outright replace phantom but all things considered you could use it over phantom cuase you'd only lose 10 mp. With the price of phantom that's a trade off I'd consider if I didn't already have one.

They don't know that having eight topics about the same thing is the cool way to do it. ;)

Hopefully we get the information for the update day soon. I sat at 51/53 for a month. I'm at 59 now. I didn't want to level past AF, but I didn't want to not level.
