Meteor Speculation

Eh, Impact is a spell that comes from the Twilight Cloak. ie the Twilight God's cloak - if it wasn't dark element it wouldn't make any sense.

Meteor is something different, and deciding its element based on what mobs use it is silly because there's nothing that says the various beasts and humanoids that have access to the spell aren't simply summoning non-elemental magic. Now, if a regular non-elemental dark elemental or bomb used Meteor, there's a different story.

I think it's non-elemental due to the Fealty resist... but I really wouldn't be surprised if that doesn't hold water either.

Do we know that Meteor is non-elemental or just assuming it is? I know back at 75, people were tanking AV using a Dark elemental resistance set and Meteor would do significantly less dmg and get resisted more often. Of course, when they didn't resist it still killed them lol. Someone should convince a PLD that it would be a great idea to tank multiple KSNM99 Horns of War fights wearing a Shadow satchet and see if Meteor gets absorbed by it >.>

Edit: or against Shinryu!

The damage it deals could be based on the... moon phase..?

Or which cardinal direction the meteors are coming from!

Maybe the meteors leave Martians behind too, I would'nt put it past SE!

Meteor is really just aftermath of a Galka in Ru'Aun Gardens that is dropping a deuce off the side. the act of the mob casting the spell just provides him with a beacon for which he can aim his errant feces.

Would be amusing if meteor could only be cast if a group of mages are in it together, or its MaB is increased or something from it. I just love that scene in the opening of FFXI with the tarus on the wall :P

i sent that suggestion in to SE about 5 years ago, that meteor could be a multi mage spell, where you needed to cast a meteor buff on another mage and could build it up with however many mages you had in party. Or that it be like a skill chain, but with magic. they ignored it, so i dont think they will be doing so, but they could have gone drinking heavily and forgotten.

so darkness after all :)

thats Comet. We will have to see what Meteor will be like.

Meteor is probably just gonna be AOE Comet, so I'm gonna assume darkness for that aswell

You know what happens when you assume...

I was right :)

touche

still hoping though

Meteor will be at lvl 98 and will be most likely 100% darkness damage

Most likely looking Se making it 1k Mp to cast >.> i could see it coming

This wouldn't be a problem being has tho they giving blm a ability to 0mp nuke next spell

bet it cost >30% Hp as well as some high amount of MP..
I just hope the scroll will not be to big of a pain to obtain.

I'm guessing scrolls will be obtained from the New Voidwalker NMs :/

Hey everyone,

Looking at the current situation in-game for Legion we understand that it is difficult to gather participants and the content itself is quite challenging.

Regarding the rewards, we feel it is a bit early to judge whether they are sufficient or not for this content. As progress is made in Legion more and more equipment will be accessible for exchange through Legion points and there are also a wide variety of special new weapons that are only obtainable within Legion. Not to mention that the drop rates for Arise and Meteor are higher than the Provenance Watcher battle.

We will continue to monitor the situation, but we would ultimately like to see players progress through this content a bit by forming good strategies before we do anything with the reward system.

Confirmed for legion then.

Considering Prov is actually killed regularly and Legion is virtually ignored, a higher droprate is meaningless.

Legion isn't ignored, it's just unreasonably difficult to full-clear, where I'd assume most of the decent stuff actually drops.
