After playing RDM and getting my Shikargar, I'm kind of bummed that RUN is unable to use it... I'm glad that RUN at least gets the Great Sword, but it's kind of unfortunate that even though they have an A- in sword, they can't use the elemental trial swords.
Granted, with the new expansion, there are new swords to be had, but it's still kind of a downer.
