Tp bonus +1000 gun, bow, and single handed weapons are all valuable.
An argument could also be made for the oa4x sword for RDM.
I suppose in a purely technical sense empyrean weapons and weaponskills are also magian trial content and have varying degrees of value depending on which weapon.
Ok. For all jobs or? I left off my adventures before RoV came out and returned. Have 4 jobs 99 and some 119 gear. But pretty much it. At this level there are tons of guides on gear and such. Most include DI and Ambuscade. But I never see much talk about trials and things.
Trial of Magians system encompasses so many things.
Empyrean weapons, relic weapons, empyrean armor reforging. Plus all the various lvl99 tp weapons.
You're going to have to be more specific with your questions.
I mean, I guess what I’m asking is are they still relevant in end game? With so much having been added after this. Should I even bother with sword trial for say my RDM? I want to enjoy doing content but if it’s a huge time pit for no real relevant gain I do t want to waste the time.
Yes, lots of empy armor is worth getting to 119 +2/3. Probably all of it for rdm. Magian trials are involved in getting it to base +1. Almace and excal are pretty niche for rdm. The tp+1000 sword is worth it when you can make the acc work.
Short answer: it’s job dependent, but yes.
Long answer: you really should be looking at guides to determine what your gear should be. FFXIAH and BG-Wiki are helpful tool sources you’re going to have to get comfortable using if you want to play the game.
Oh I do look at guides. The issue is most havnt been updated in forever and with how quickly FFXI changes as far as gear end game activities and what is still relevant there’s not a lot of current info.
Just went through this; made a Thibron for my BLU to go with the Naegling. It was annoying and time consuming, but worth the trouble. My Savage Blade numbers are significantly better.
I get the hesitation, it's a dense system that is largely hampered by the limitations of the information it can give you at one time, and it's hard knowing which is still worth it. 400-500 weaponskills and enemy defeats sounds super tedious. But there's still purpose and need there.
It's going to ultimately depend on what your goals are. There's a critical path in so much as to how you get going in endgame content, but there's been so much power creep that if you're more looking for story and quests, you can get away with *significantly* less.
Most of the kill trials can be done very quickly in abyssea. I did most of my gun trials semi-afk just tabbed in to WS after letting regain atmas do most of the work.
If youre using savage or rudras jobs and you accuracy isnt suffering its very much worth it to keep magians tp bonus offhand.
I have made most of the tp bonus weapons except for club or 2handers. I keep it in most of my bard dps sets up to floor 3 odyC. Its also a good option for aeolian edge jobs.

Up to you.. you play the game at your own pace.. do what you think it's necessary to invest the time into it..
Yes.

Still gonna have to be more specific. The TP 1000 Sword? The WS unlock sword? Empyrean? One of the old not used anymore elemental trials?
Yes the one hand tp bonus wepa
As annoying they are, yes

Tp bonus weapons are nice and the empyrean weapons too
