Mythic Weapon

Mythic and Ergon weapons.

Mythic Weapons (ミシックウェポン, Mishikkū Wepon?), also known as "The Myriad Arms of Balrahn", are twenty weapons in Final Fantasy XI obtained through the "Arms of Balrahn" series of quests available once a player is promoted to Captain Mercenary Rank. The arms are rare and powerful weapons that were once part of Emperor Balrahn's personal collection.

Mythic Weapons are one of five legendary weapon sets available to players, with the other four being Relic Weapons, Empyrean Weapons, Aeonic Weapons, and Prime Weapons. Unlike the other four weapon sets, where the weapons are divided by weapon type, Mythic Weapons are divided by job. Just as there are three 'Job Specific Armor' sets in the game, there is one 'Job Specific Weapon' set, that being the Mythic Weapons.

Mythic vs. Ergon Weapons

Because Mythic Weapons are tied to the job rather than the weapon class, there were two more Mythic Weapons added for the Seekers of Adoulin expansion. This expansion added two new jobs, Rune Fencer and Geomancer. Along with these jobs came two new Job Specific Weapons, which are referred to as 'Ergon Weapons'. Mythic Weapons and Ergon Weapons differ in their acquisition and upgrade processes due to being released in different eras. However, these two weapon categories are lumped together because they each fill the same role for the jobs they are tied to. A job without a Mythic Weapon will have that role filled by an Ergon Weapon, and vice versa.

Abilities

Mythic Weapon abilities

Each weapon can be used by one job, and is associated with a unique weapon skill. These weapon skills do not require equipping Mythic Weapons to use, and can be unlocked separately with the Vigil Weapons that are required to start the Mythic Weapon quest. Use of these unique weapon skills together with a Mythic Weapon grant special aftermath effects that vary according to each weapon and how much TP the player has when the weapon skill is used.

The aftermath effect is split into 3 levels.

• Level 1: 100–199% TP. 180 second duration
• Level 2: 200–299% TP. 180 second duration
• Level 3: 300% TP. 120 second duration

The initial level of a Mythic Weapon is 75, but various Magian Trials may be undertaken to improve the weapons, capable of being upgraded like the Empyrean Weapon to an elevated Level 99 Afterglow form. There have been added upgrade paths to get Mythic Weapons even further to an item-level 119 with an aftermath effect. This incorporates several different content pieces. The Afterglow of all Mythic Weapons is a shimmering azure.

Ergon Weapon abilities

Idris (Level 119 III)

This enhances Geomancy by +10 boosting the power of all geomancy spells. This boost is significant. Each spell gains a different degree of benefit from this effect.

• Geomancy+ items do not stack; if multiple items with Geomancy+ are equipped, only the highest value will apply.
• Reference the chart on the Geomancy page to see exact values.
• Geomancy +10 is effective only when worn in the main hand.

• Luopan: Damage Taken -25% is additive with their innate -50% Damage Taken, resulting in a total of Luopan: Damage Taken -75%.
  • Specific DT value is 64/256.

Epeolatry (Level 119 III)

This weapon reduced physical damage taken by 25%. This is significant because this means the wielder can exceed the 50% PDT cap.

• Specific PDT value is 64/256.

• Liement effect extends to party members within a 10' radius

Acquisition

The acquisition process of Mythic and Ergon weapons are quite distinct. Mythic weapons are obtained through the endgame content of the expansion, Treasures of Aht Urhgan, while Ergon weapons are obtained through the endgame content of Seekers of Adoulin.

Mythic Weapon acquisition questline

Mythic Weapons require participation in a quest line that involves many pieces of battle content. Just like Relic Weapons, the acquisition of a fully upgraded Mythic Weapon can be divided into the process to acquire the 75 version, the process to upgrade to level 99, and finally the process to upgrade to item-level 119. To obtain a Mythic Weapon, players much participate in Treasures of Aht Urhgan endgame content such as Assault, Salvage, Einherjar, and the Zenni Notorious Monster System.

Ergon Weapon acquisition questline

Upgrading

Over the years, the Mythic Weapons have undergone a series of upgrades to keep them relevant in the game's meta. With the exception of the two Ergon Weapons, these weapons capped out at level 75. There have been added upgrade paths to get Mythic Weapons to item-level 119 with an aftermath effect. This incorporates several different content pieces.

Item-Level 119 Mythic Weapons

When the item-level system was introduced in Seekers of Adoulin, all of the previous ultimate weapons were surpassed by other newly introduced gear. As a result, further upgrade systems were introduced for the ultimate weapon types to, once again, ensure their powerful status in the game. The NPC Oboro can upgrade your mythic weapons even further, into item-level 119.

Note: If a weapon has already been upgraded to the completed level 99 version of the weapon, this changes the path in which the weapon is upgraded to the final 119 variant.

Requirements for Level 119 Mythic Weapons through the Oboro Upgrade System.

Stage	Item-Level 119 I (Stage 1)	Item-Level 119 II (Stage 2)	Item-Level 119 III (Final Stage)
Requirements	300 Beitetsu	300 Beitetsu	10,000 Beitetsu (upgrading stage 1) 1 Beitetsu (upgrading stage 2)
Notes	If current Mythic DOES NOT have aftermath. Stage 2 is skipped.	If current Mythic DOES have aftermath. Stage 1 is skipped.	Both stage 1 and stage 2 weapons can be upgraded to the final stage. It just changes material requirements.

Item-Level 119 Ergon Weapons

Because the initial Ergon Weapons are already item-level 119, the player will not have to upgrade them twice with Oboro. They will only have to upgrade them once to get them to the item-level 119 III (final stage). This upgrade is identical to that of the final Mythic Weapon upgrade, requiring 10,000 Beitetsu.

Ultimate augments

Once the player has a completed ilvl 119 III Mythic Weapon, it is eligible for augmentation, which further enhances its power. The augmentation process is also done through the Oboro Upgrade System, and it requires extensive involvement in the battle content introduced in the Rhapsodies of Vana'diel mini-expansion, Dynamis Divergence. These augments can be placed on Relic, Mythic, Ergon, Empyrean and Aeonic weapons. There are two methods to unlock these augmentation options:

Methods of Unlocking Ultimate Augments

	Step 1	Step 2
Method 1	Acquire a ilvl119 III Mythic Weapon.	Trade 10,000 job points to Oboro.
Method 2	Acquire a ilvl119 III Mythic Weapon.	Defeat the Wave 3 Boss in Dynamis Divergence - Bastok. Or Deal 30,000,000 damage to the Wave 3 Boss in Dynamis Divergence - Bastok.

Once the player has unlocked ultimate augments, they can trade materials dropped from other pieces of endgame content to augment their weapon. After the initial augmentation, the player can further strengthen the augmentation by trading more materials.

Behind the scenes

Of the five legendary weapon sets, Mythic Weapons are the rarest within Final Fantasy XI due to the immense difficulty in acquiring them, requiring extreme amounts of time, effort, or gil. The stats on the other four weapon sets are preferable for certain uses for many jobs, so players often prefer those weapons as they are relatively easier to obtain. Many of the other ultimate weapons in the game can also be used by multiple jobs. So, investing the time to acquire any of the ultimate weapons will benefit multiple jobs for the player, unless that ultimate weapon is a Mythic Weapon.

Acquiring Mythic Weapons required significant involvement in a form of battle content called Salvage. Players discovered an exploit in Salvage that allowed duplication of monster drops. Certain drops needed for creating a Mythic Weapon were very rare, so duplicating these drops sped up the process considerably. This led Square Enix to issue a wave of bans that resulted in almost a thousand accounts to either be permanently or temporarily banned for a lengthy period. Almost every player affected by these bans were popular and central to the in-game community, so these bans were devastating for the player base, being referred to by players as 'The Salvage Ban Hammer'.

The questlines for acquiring Ergon Weapons involve the job specific quests for their respective jobs. Usually, job specific quests earn the Artifact Armor, one of the three job specific armor sets in the game. Because Idris and Epeolatry also come from these quests, Geomancer and Rune Fencer are the only two jobs that get their job specific weapon from the same questline that gives the Artifact Armor.
