Give me substantial updates and useful information or give me death.

So, I hate these kind of updates. We get a picture and not much else. The early speculation is that these are somehow related to the Nyzul Isle "new relic" weapons. I think that is a good assumption at this point. I have no reason to doubt this is the case. I have to wonder though, how they are going to make these weapons as good as and as rare as and as unique as the Dynamis relics. I mean, as hard as it may be, the idea that Nyzul Isle weapons are as difficult to obtain as any part of the original relics is a joke. I could join in a Nyzul Isle static today and have one on universally faster scale than I could from Dynamis. Sure, there is a difference in practice in how you get them, and more importantly, the Nyzul Isle weapons are likely to be only the very first stage in the process for making these new relics, but it just seems weird to me. Not to mention the fact that I have to wonder about a game that does very little obsolescence in gear trying to make the most difficult items in the game to acquire obsolete. Anyway, here are some pictures of those "new" items. Not really even new, as some of them aren't even reskins, but I am willing to give SE the benefit of the doubt.
Probably nothing of interest update wise until tomorrow, and since I promised to go over MNK and SAM lets do that now.

My MNK is done for all intents and purposes. Done is an interesting word, lets more say that I have hit a gear roadblock for now, at least until I start finishing some Usukane. I can get HQ's of things, and I can get lateral replacements but for now I am quite pleased with my MNK.

Rasetsu Sune-ate

Only the Rasetsu Sune-ate stand out to me as something I do not like. But there is little for MNK WS, and it was this or spend 20k AP on the Pahluwan Crackows for +5 Accuracy. Now, I would normally be OK with 5 accuracy over 5 attack, but I have two reason to avoid it for now. First, that 20k AP can be spent on Yigit gear for my WHM should it eventually reach that level and second, I am hopeful that those fucking bees will eventually drop my fucking 35 feet.

Wow, have a lot of work to do today, so I kind of let this fall by the way side. Tomorrow will be more carefree and I will continue on babbling about MNK and then continue to explain why my SAM is gimp. :)
