Yeah the amount add up to 990 total across the sword and shield, so you and me we can get our Hauteclaire this week. :)

Something i appreciated a good bit about the Dungeons was that the PLD Shields will always drop when the Sword does.
IIRC, the Expanse/Hive weapon and shield comes as a set too doesn't it? Kind of weird they went back to the old separation of Sword/Shield. I feel like it worked much better when you got both halves of your weapon at the same time.

I only cleared Bismarck EX once for the sake of clear so i cannot confirm myself if both drop together. One thing now though is when you upgrade your weapon/shield (say Law sword/shield) you need both to upgrade them to i180, instead of requiring separate items for each. This also apply to hauteclaire and whatever the shield is called, you need to own both and you need a single item to upgrade them both at the same time, i like that.

Already used for some jewelry.

I was originally planning on waiting for the weapon myself (takes 3 weeks).
But I have the Ravanna weapon within my sights now so I'm not sure. Got 7 totems so far.
I opted for the Alexander pants, so I might just go for the Esoterics chest piece if I can also get the Hive weapon this week.

For the Hive Shield, I believe it's an "extra" drop that's independent of the 1h Sword... I swear I've seen the shield drop at the exact same time as a weapon that WASN'T the Sword.

I'm a healer, so I'm holding off on the weapon for a bit. I did get my ring first because i200 vs i180 was hard for me to resist... I like shiny things. D:

To my knowledge, when i was leveling to 60, the shield is a bit like a minion drop, it might drop at the end of a level thus adding up to a total of 3 loots to roll on. It did that for Shiva EX, the pony was an added third drop sometimes, same for shield.

I upgraded my belt since I was going from iLv170 to 200...plus it looks like the Eso belt will be BiS for Bard. I really wanted the bow but it actually is not that good.....damn it.

Since War is my main I gotta get the Weapon first, no big deal though I stll got a lot of raiding and primals to catch up on.

Definitely saving up for weapon because it's the best upgrade
