Since I've started playing mabi back when g8 came out the best weapon out there were spirit weapons and since I'm on Alexina I remember being jealous of Jaqs ego ;however, over the past updates and patches stronger and stronger weapons have been brought into the game , and their accessibility being pretty good have shadowed spirit weapons. I think it's unfair for these weapons and their owners . Between the hours upon hours it takes to feed a spirit weapon and the millions it takes to get its stats up. I think nexon needs to revamp the boosts that spirit weapons receive and the abilities they can have .

It would be disrespectful of new developers at Devcat to change or update something an old developer did, so that will never happen.
/sarcasm
It is really sad though. It doesn't take hours and hours, it takes years to raise a spirit weapon. And they're trash now. Utterly disappointing. But then, so are a lot of things in mabi. I'd really love to see spirit weapons see some love, but I'm not really convinced it will ever happen. It is such a unique feature to the game, it is quite sad they don't care to keep it even semi-relevant.

While I do agree that most of them can be replaced with special upgraded/Enchanted weps and that some sort of revamp is due...
Not ALL egos are worthless. Just depends on the type.

I completely agree. To go with something Sol on mabi data said:
Spirit Weapon Enhancement:
New Spirit Weapons, Increase usability, Increase Spirit growth rates. Planned, but won't be anytime soon.
They had gotten the idea somewhere that developers had mentioned something about an update, though I can't find the source other than the
original post for which this is quoted. I hope they actually do revamp spirit weapons, for the amount of work they take/took they should be the most powerful thing in the game by far.

I have my ego since they were introduced, I think it was G2? It's still lvl 16...
There's just no motivation to work on it or invest any kind of resources into it. I just give it random junk items I don't want to NPC.

There are egos that are still worth it.
For example, no magic weapon can beat ego fire wand right now when it comes to firebolt.
Another example being Ring Bow. Excellent damage, and at this point, it just matters what reforge you can get. An ideal would be a dual elemental with effective range reforge.

Current Spirit weapons, for the most part, are lack luster compared to Special upgraded weapons, which is disheartening.
Current useful egos
Firewand
Earthquake Cylinder
Good egos(reforged)
2handed Swords
2handed Blunt/Axe weapons
Bow variations
Outdated/useless
Wands
Cylinders
1handed Swords
Blunts
Axes

The functionality is definitely still there for many spirit weapons, but the fact is that you can damn near match the upper realm of spirit weapon stats with an upgraded weapon, or in some circumstances a weapon at its base stats. That being said, for some spirit weapons, if you're willing to make the investment then the payout is definitely worth the effort.

I remember the days when high level spirit weapons were like "omfg leet" in terms of stats, not just a rare glowy item. It should still be like that again :<

If they allowed ego weapons to be special upgraded to step 3 or something it would be pretty cool. Obviously using a different mechanic (maybe social stat contributing to what step it is, every 15 lvls = 1 step?).

That'd be great and it'd go pretty well if there was an uncap too. Iunno, I use a HLC Ego and personally like it since it's good for everything I do which is raiding and SMs. It's not the best, but it's not the worst. As mentioned above there are a few worth using, but there are a lot that aren't, glad to see that DevCat might revamp them.

Was thinking about spirit weapons today and how much they have fallen as well. I'm still growing mine to lvl 50 with the hope that one day the cap is removed, but this is an update we have needed for a long time.

With continuous and intense care by the user, a spirit weapon can grow up to a point where it can easily surpass the ability of upgraded or enchanted weapons.
Fuckin' lel
The description for Spirit Weapons is blatantly WRONG.
how do you just keep running a game where something claimed in game is absolutely not true.

Hardly something to shut down an entire game over, but whatever floats your boat.

Getting really tired of this stupid forum glitch I'm experiencing...Anyway I wanted to say;
I wanted to point out that they dropped the ball on Spirit Weapons. I didn't really mean to sound like they should shut it down rather than ignore certain aspects of the game, but more like, how can you run a game and be so lazy and unresponsive to things like this.
That's all.
