Double Axe

[LD]

Well, lets take a look at some of the facts here.
Seems they only drop on the last floor, they're JSE, poor stats, part of 'end game' content.
You also seem to get some kind of key item with the floor.

I doubt it'll be something lame, like nyzul/salvage/assault/beseiged only.
To go through the effort of beating all 100 floors, it would have to be multi-purpose.
If it's WS latent, it would have to be a number greater than the destroyer line, something like 1k.
However, I doubt they'd do that, because I'm sure SE realizes its players only have so much patience for that kinda stuff.
I sure the JPs would have discovered if they acted like waghs by now, so that's out.

It may act like the old Deathbringer; to my knowledge, that's the only weapon that unlocks simply on monsters killed.
Could be possible it has something to do with a certain spell or ability.
It might work by using a certain number of 2 hours. :x
Hell, maybe it has a friggin 'warm-up time', so you can't use it til it's ready.

I could pull even more stuff out of my ass, but we're just gunna have to get more people to bust through there.

while this doesn't particularly relate to the axe, both the mnk weapon and the pup weapon both have "fire" related names.

burning fists for mnk,
inferno claws for pup,

my only guess is that since you often see fusion and light skillchains in mnkburns... maybe enhances fire skillchain damage? thats really stupid, idk can't think of anything else

[LD]

All these weapons are named after very powerful weapons from earlier FF games, or something.
So it's unlikely the names are any kind of hint.

What is a decent give-away is that, though Swordbreaker and Dancing Dagger have the same damage, the THF's Swordbreaker has higher delay than the BRD's Dancing Dagger.

I'm really starting to lean towards some sort of Job-specific bonus.
If it were just some damage boosting effect, the BRD & THF daggers wouldn't be so close.

What has been tested with the axe so far? If anyone even has BST leveled.

[Spungy]

Chances are good that nobody in that group has BST75.

[Fng]

fo shame!

[safer]

did that jp monk even get around to test it? that thread back there showing the h2h drop said something along the lines that the monk who got it was too lazy to do tests...

[LD]

That's the other problem.
The only way to figure out is to get some people to the 100th floor.....In America.

[Dense]

That's the other problem.
The only way to figure out is to get some people to the 100th floor.....Outside of Japan.

FIXED.

We really need a catchy name to name all these "hidden-effect" level 75 items that come from Nyzul Assault.

Nyzul Weapons?

Floor 100 Weapons?

Nypons.

[Slott]

eh i'll do it eventually, have saved up to 90 but our pt wants to farm the 20/40/60/80 floors a bit before we give it up ;o

dropped during Nyzul Isle Investigation FL100 from Khimaira

yet to determine anything interesting about this item.

Did you get a helm from as well? Would be nice to find out if helms are at least 100% drops on floor 100. Post some pictures!

I thought the idea from the other thread stating that they thought these weapons might be an initial stage in a weapon that could be upgraded. Apparently, SE said a while ago that they were going to add weapons into ToA that were equivalent or better than current dynamis relic weapons?

[Paegan]

With those damage/delay stats the latent on that axe had better be something good. Siriusly.

[Suiram]

Did someone in the Assault group have BST levelled to 75? If so, was it the person who used the armband and/or the person who ported up with the Runic Disc? I'm mostly wondering because not enough groups have done this to know if it is just a random 1/15 chance among all the weapons, or if it's tied to the jobs levelled by the people in group.

this was posted in the JP interview, translated by elmer, regarding nyzul isle weapons:

It's been brought to my attention that users have reached the end, but they do not understand the true value of the reward that they received. "I got to the end, and this is it?" is what they said to us, but I believe the player who obtained it won't want to throw it out (lol).

Editor: Are the rewards better than equipment we've received up till now?

Ogawa: The stuff that currently drops there is about the same quality. In the future the value of it will increase we think.
---

Editor: What will prompt that kind of change?

Ogawa: That is something I can't tell you right now (lol). You'll have to wait for a future announcement.

ToA relic style upgrading looks pretty plausible

[6souls]

or they could trigger in an endgame bc/zone. theories are endless.

[Starr]

Relic weapons upgradable by Aht Ughan currency got by IS, so you have to play FFXI and merit forever, I bet loads of people would fall for it . . .
