Reread OP; they didn't want data mined models.

The first step, at least for SCH was a direct copy of the Antiquated Elements eso book. The second stage is the same book with what looks a bit like bard songs combined with the SCH Zeta. In about 6-12 months I'll tell you what the third stage is like. ;)
I was thinking the same thing! I actually saw the image before reading the title because I was looking for the AST weapon, and didn't realize that I was staring at the BLM one.
Anyway, I really, really like the look of the new AST globe. The slight handle towards the bottom is a nice touch, even though we don't "hold" it. The MCH doesn't look as bad to me as to others, but it most certainly was made with the Gauss attachment in mind...and I'm in the camp that things the attachment could use a change.
As for BRD, well, I gave up on BRD aesthetics after Syrcus Tower. One expansion later, and I still do not regret my decision.
If thats the real daggers for us ninjas I am glad I am skipping this slap in the face.
I agree about the AST weapon; I've got two zetas to turn in and I'll definitely be turning in one to get that AST globe. I still think BRD has some of the best looking gear in the game though (BRD hats > all other hats, ha ha), but ugh, our bows get uglier and uglier every patch. Why are they all so clunky and overdone looking? Thank god for glamour. T____T
