Oh and gear snobbery will exclude you from partying if you use it.

The helm and armor were useless from the beginning anyway and also the lvl50-60 grind for absolutely negligible stat buff lol... Devs having rough time making simple decisions

• Lastly game rebalance is one of our major initiatives this quarter, also coincides w/ items above.

Now if Lvl 81 Arcane is planned for Post Elite Zodias Maps then the new equipment being added is most likely Spirit of The Deep Set. That's my theory cause there has been no other talks about New Equipment except Spirit of The Deep Set and Lvl 81 Arcane. And it would make sense to release the Spirit Of The Deep Set before Lvl 81 Arcane are released. Let's wait see what happens when Elite Zodias Maps are out 🙏

i made concept videos for spirit weapons. tbh i realized that both videos were bad takes so i unlisted them.

if you invest time into leveling items they should be powerful. but if the items are not powerful then what is the point of leveling them.

if the pull to spirit weapons was 100% chance to proc it still wouldn't be powerful. it just doesnt match the time invested

compare it to farming gold and buying a lvl 81 mythic item. you was better off investing time into farming gold for the mythic items.

spirit items need to be reworked and although people will disagree with this it actually has to be done.

but people will justify their time spent leveling the spirit items. this is why they remain untouched.

realistically the spirit items should be just as powerful as the mythic items if not more.

but thats just my take .

in the end spirit items dont actually have a place in the game. its either they're the best or they're not. if theyre not then why level them.

True, since everyone can afford best in slot weapons by just gold farming for a week or 2 there is no reason to spend THOUSANDS of hours for such a weak weapon. We used to have good gear that also required a lot of time to craft (planar pendant, rendtail ring, himi set, glint set) and they were actually very strong at theyr respective expansion, however in current era its all about 1 taping mobs which means every other gear becomes completely useless. Its not that spirit weapons are bad, its just current weapons are way too strong. Mob pulling weapons like tb and spirit weapons used to be very important in mausoleum expansion.

I agree 100%. Especially with the time invested and being as powerful or more than Mythic Rarity. Spirit Weapons/Gear should be an alterantive for Free 2 Play player's who will not be able to afford 200m+ Arc Weapons and or Gear when they come out. Hopefully STS has learned from their past mistakes with Spirit Gear. Hopefully Spirit Of The Deep Set is done right, because this will definitely give me something to do and work on. I don't mind the grind of the XP as long as it is worth the time to do it.

I said this on another thread, a full set of Arcane gears is over kill. A couple of pieces peppered here n there. Otherwise all other sets become meaningless. I prefer options. I favor the Eggshell sets, I love the tiny aura. The set bonus is nice.
