At the moment a lot of people are talking about AF armour after these were posted on the lodestone... http://lodestone.finalfa...e5bab573d8dc73efcad1f0d5Now I am really hoping that they are planning some kind of top gear for the DoL too. But I am thinking it would be great to have some gear that could be used by all DoL and not be class specific. At the moment I have a set of gear for crafting and one for gathering. Having three sets for gathering would really clutter my inventory more than it already is. When I go gathering I do a bit of mining and then a bit of logging and then maybe some fishing. This means it's not really an option for me to leave class specific gear with my container. This would be even more important for people also doing DoW/DoM as they could potentially have a set of gear more than I do. I think that getting three sets of gear for all three classes would be awesome and maybe it will be needed to really boost the different stats but getting a "DoL" set would be even sweeter imo. Either way I can't wait to see what they have planned for us. |

The big draw for FFXI for me was the AF armour honestly. That and finding all the cool secrets, so I'm hoping there's something specific for every class, whether or not there's something that works well for all the DoL classes, I don't mind, but I really want something specific for each class. I'll be honest, I miss feeling unique in being able to only wear some armour as a certain class.

I don't play atm, but DoL AF might get me to come back, atleast for a bit.
Considering the additional work/effort for 3 seperate sets of gear, I would think a suitable DoL master AF set would be the most desirable situation for everyone.
My bet however, is that DoL will not get any love, and this is why I stopped playing.
The only teaser information lately is "New battle effects" which is really just an increase in scale to the existing battle effects? GTFO
Fishing 42-50 on Grade 10 water with grade 1 fish is stupid, and with 80 mil in hand (and a crap tonne of mats)when I left when the servers went down, there was no reason to continue with my ultimate goal of 50/50/50 DoL (which seems the person I was in direct competition with, who is also 50/50/42, has also given up) |

Yeah I'd love there being DOL AF but I don't think that'll happen for a while since I'm pretty sure that they are gonna cover DOW first as well as end game content for them and revamp the battle system... But with that being said, there is SOOOO much potential for really cool AF gear for our DOLs! Edited by user Wednesday, April 13, 2011 4:40:54 PM(UTC)

I know this is from April but a buddy asked me today what if anything had become of possible AF gear or weapons in the game.
Has anything been released yet or any updated Producer notes on this lately? |

With patch 1.18 there is no Artifact armour. Currently the gear that was released from raids is all for DoW/DoM classes.
You can however buy some low ranked equipment from the Grand Companies themselves, but these are not part of a set, thye are just loose pieces with good stats (such as a R25, 30, 35 (forget which) body piece that has +20 gathering).
SE has stated that combat is their first priority at this stage, and that there is no plans for any R50 gathering tools at this stage. They will eventually be released just we have no clue when, DoL get's the short stick at the moment.
When patch 1.19 come around though DoL will have a much bigger role in the game as they will need to supply materia to LS's so they can upgrade their equips, weather AF will be released then or not there is no way to know. |

DoLs will continue to get the short end of the stick until combat is fixed, who knows how long that will be. As is right now they seem to continue to pad their patches with half complete features and such.
"Hey guys this patch x is being added, but even tho we are adding it it will require another patch in Z to add capability y to the original feature."
Seriously, patch the feature in properly at once, not several partial patches to implement a single feature. If its not done, hold it from going live until its complete.

I know this is a bit of an older topic, but they really need to support this for the DoL and DoH. DoW/DoM are going to be expected to get their AF from a combination of combat and quests (just speculation), but I hope the DoL and DoH have pretty epic quests and challenging crafting or gathering tasks to obtain theirs. I still want to see a quest similar to the 10000 carp quest in FF11 to get an awesome fishing rod. |

My problem with AF now is in ffxi it started at lvl 40-42 for the weapon right? .. and 50-62 for gear. It better be about the same and not any lower. Game been out too long already and most gear would trump low lvl AF and a lot of people would miss out on wearing it
I'm not sure when AF in FFXI was implemented. Been too long to remember.
Yeah I am also looking for lu shang/ebisu type quests and the same for other jobs. Some stuff will be implemented as people push past lvl 60 I think but the other they need to get it out this year like a fishing rod, AF for all jobs.
I'd expect something by years end if not a little sooner. Can't wait till later next year.. people will be way past 50. Honestly, AF need to come out now and it doesn't seem so especially with how jobs and stats for each job are getting more specific.. AF for each specific job would have fit right in for this update.
