Wishing your Geomancer or Rune Fencer had some stylish Relic armor? Tired of your current Relic armor for Warrior or Red Mage to just not be as amazing as some of the new equipment available? Your wait is soon over! In the upcoming February version update of Final Fantasy XI, both jobs added in the Seekers of Adoulin expansion will be seeing the introduction of Relic-equivalent gear starting at item level 109. In addition, Relic armor for all jobs can soon be reforged to item level 109 or 119 versions, with hands, head, and leg armor being available this upcoming update, and body and feet in a later!
