Update time again!

So yesterday we were graced with the first part of the November version update which brought us a host of new items as well as a number of new notorious monsters.

A number of things caught my eye, mainly this.


Concordia
[Sword] All Races
DMG:46 Delay:268
LV 75 WAR PLD DRK SAM BLU

Interesting that SAM is on the list of jobs that can use it. Even more so is that it has the highest damage of any BLU weapon, and second highest delay. Swords of this type have been historically earmarked for WAR/PLD/DRK. Still, why is SAM on this thing? I know that before the 2-handed weapon update some SAMs used swords to do spirits within on HNM's... or something like that. I wasn't around for any of that, but I digress. At any rate, these "aern weapons" as people have been calling them are wielded by five fomor NM's in the past. It's been reported over on BG that the one pictured above is used by the Elvaan. One of the drops is a chipped scimitar, which is a 1DMG, 236 delay sword that happens to have the exact same job distribution.

Is the chipped scimitar a base of sorts? Are these "sealed" weapons similar to the mythic weapons when first obtained? The cogs of speculation turn once more, and with greater fervor!
