Magian Weapons in FFXI

The new Magian trials are underway for level 80 and many of them offer serious competition to previous weapons. Perhaps the most notable are the new staves with elemental augments that most players would find confusing. They are listed as "Element" damage +4, which in actual game terms means +20% more damage, making them slightly more potent than their predecessors, although a bit less accurate. A replacement for the seemingly insurmountable Hagun, the most popular weapon for Samurai, has even been found within the Magian trials of weapons. These weapons seem to be in line with a new era of ultimate weapons to follow in the paths of the Relic and Mythic ones before them. It remains yet to be seen what these weapons will eventually lead to at the end of their long journey.
