Are you one of the many adventurers longing to further augment your equipment with marvelous moogle magic via Trial of the Magians? Then you'll be heartened to know that additions and refinements to the system are on the way!

New Weapon Trials
The impending version update will usher in new trials allowing adventurers to take weapons already augmented via prior Magian accomplishments and enhance them further. Needless to say, new trial sequences for relic and mythic weapons will be included among these.

Adventurers will also find new trial varieties available, such as those affording the opportunity to power up one's weapon skills.

These additions are only the tip of the iceberg, however, as future updates promise to unveil the most challenging and rewarding trials yet. It will take every onz of courage and persistence at your disposal to upgrade your weapon to the limit of its capabilities, but rest assured that the prize that awaits you will be worth every step of the journey.

The Miraculous Magian Spectacles

Another addition will be a new item, the "magian spectacles," which may be purchased from the Magian Moogle for a nominal fee. This handy tool will aid in your trials by summoning a Magian trial log to your side, allowing you to review your progress from dungeons or afield.

Trial Objectives Revisited
Certain trial objectives have been reevaluated and will see target quotas reduced among other adjustments. You need not fear if you've already embarked on a trial, for these changes will also be reflected in trials underway at the time of the update.

All right time wasters!

[Guitarman]

All right time wasters!

fuck if i can uber-guillotine shit i'm stoked.

[The Stig]

And inventory -1!

But I don't understand why one would need to summon the book? I've seen the screenshots, doesn't the log show you how much you got left per kill/objective complete?

[Eanae]

It does. Seems pretty useless.

[Hyan]

Maybe it'll be needed for some future trials? Idk.

yeah, only use i see for it is if you have multiple weapons you are working on and forget which trial needs what mob and don't feel like going to the moogle to find out and decided you'd rather have inv-1 instead of checking wiki.

[Raithen]

fuck if i can uber-guillotine shit i'm stoked.

Yeah I'm totally looking forward to the Duration of Silence varies with TP increase here.

[Guitarman]

Yeah I'm totally looking forward to the Duration of Silence varies with TP increase here.

look, after eight years i'm as much aware of SE's stupidity as anyone else, but allow me at least a tiny bit of hope i can upgrade my favorite WS.

[Kincard]

Yeah, I was pretty confused about why they added the book thing, too. Maybe it'll let us turn in the trial out in the field!

Hey, a guy can dream...

[Draylo]

Great more mind numbingly dumb quests that consist of kill x mob 500000 times under x weather.

Toning down the more bullshit trials perhaps?

[Raithen]

Even if the upgrade to WS isn't a modification of their TP mod, but actually a straight bonus to fTP like a gorget, you know it's going to be a stat on a Magian weapon anyway.

So really even if it's not a complete joke, it will still likely be useless.

Here's hoping this has absolutely nothing to do with HNMs.

[Kincard]

Great more mind numbingly dumb quests that consist of kill x mob 500000 times under x weather.

So you're complaining that this quest is a stupid grind, like the rest of the game?

[Draylo]

At least they don't require weather!

[seiji]

WS Xtimes Zmonster under fire (lightening.....)weather: WS get aftermatch STR+(dex....)

[Hyan]

At least they don't require weather!

I'll eat my hat if this has nothing to do with the add-ons.

I think when it comes to further upgrades on weapons we're done with that kinda stuff already.

[Spira]

ooh.. giving older WS aftermath effects would be a very nice touch...

[Eldelphia]

Wondering how they can augment my shiny cure teiwaz
