Are these ACTUALLY 2 handed? I mean do we actually use both hands to wield them? None of the "2 handed" are really 2 handed, we still only use 1 hand while hovering our other hand pointlessly in the air...

While I do appreciate that the design will get some function as glamour, I must say that no work was needed at all, the parameter for the weapon could have been changed to be ID'd as a two-handed weapon by literally doing a few minutes of code edits... and the best part of this is that ALL two-handed weapons will be glamour enabled and not those deemed "worthy" by the developer.

The appeal of having a much smaller weapon in hand will be lost with these long staff versions... and the pessimist in me already knows we will have a DRK weapon mutation on our hands (literally) with them.

Now, if the development team really felt it was necessary (it wasn't, but thanks) to do extra work, the they should have gone with this instead.

Make it possible to glamour 1H appearance (and animations) to 2H weapons and allow us to equip a cosmetic shield that we can glamour any other CNJ/WHM/THM/BLM shield to. That way you never have to worry about creating more 1H CNJ/WHM/THM/BLM weapons and shields, and you satisfy everyone that likes them.

That way you only ever need to put the stats on the weapon and with a purely cosmetic shield there is no itemization issue. That way players have the option of using their 1H weapon glamours on a 2H weapon and keeping their shield - because you know, some of us like the style.

Basically I like my 1H mage weaponry, and won't be trading them in. I just wish that rather than sweeping 1H mage weapons and shields under the carpet, SE could do something to preserve that look and feel for the players who enjoy it.

However, thank you for at least giving them some use; the weapons, even though they are more appealing as they are, still have nice designs and it'll be good to see them.

If you are reading this please can you forward this concern and request, to be able to have the default weapon itself as an option, it's like I said, an extremely simple thing to do.

No, no, no. This isn't what we want, I don't want to trade my Leviathan wand in for a Leviathan staff, I want to be able to glamour it and the shield over a two-handed staff.

There is already a whm Leviathan weapon, and a shield to match. We don't need new ones, we need a way to glamour what we already have.

I can see how it might be hard to hear us normal-sized folk from all the way down there. But that's all the more reason you should want to keep the models we already have and be able to use them...I mean, a wand-style weapon is already the size of a staff for a Lalafell, so if they change them into staves it'll be too big for you to carry D=.

yep yep this is what I would like to see

Awesome!! One-handed wands and scepters are terrible. I hope they will remove them from the game completely and no more One-handed weapon for CNJ & THM in the future content.

So they released them :< i stocked on mats thinking that they would have glowing crafted versions are they ever releasing that? i want a glowing might mogrod :<

I'd really like to see them keep the 1h mage weapon and shield option viable. It feels quite sad to have that option slowly taken away.

Yeah, it would be nice if they'd alternate them. Say have Sohm Al drop a 2h and Aery drop a 1h+shield, or if the current raid drops a 1h+shield, the tome weapon is a 2h and vice-versa.

I've supported this idea for a long while.

I just prefer the look of the wands on Black Mage to the staves.
I don't particularly care for the shields though...


What I want is, like with the two slot body items, to be able to glamor the single handed wands on top of the two handed staves.
I am aware that this won't allow for shield glamors, which is unfortunate for those who like that look.

But, as the dev team seems determined to not make any more, I see the glamor option as my only way to keep the look.


I've recently gotten Black Mage up to 50 on my Balmung character, and and now stuck with the upgraded ifrit wand until such time as this is added or I have to stop playing the job due to not being able to survive the encounters, or possibly survive the other party member's wrath...

I love that this has been implemented! There were no reasonable options for shields and it needed to be unified for raiding gear anyway. However, can we please get the BLM Staff that is available for purchase on the Mog Station (Mog's Staff) available at the exchange NPC? It's rediculous to have an item is spent actual money on in your cash shop, whose only purpose is glamour, but it can't be done because we only have Two-handed Weapons.

It hasn't?

The request of this thread, as I recall, is the ability to glamor one handed wands/scepters onto two handed canes/staves.
Having checked just now, this is still not possible.

NECROPOSTING because I just ran into this problem today. Trying to glamour a Scepter (One-handed arm) over a Staff (Two-handed arm) to complete my glamour and it was an absolute fail, due to the fact that they are considered different weapons even though it is for the SAME class. Please SE change this. #BlackMage4Lyfe

This needs to be fixed. Make it work like any other multi-slot equipment (like how we can glamour a shirt appearance onto a hooded robe, but just can't have a hat with it).

Eliminate the differentiation between different equipment types depending on whether it's one-handed or two-handed. Make the type for either just be "Thaumaturge's Arm" or "Conjurer's Arm" as appropriate, just as we have for any other classes. Then give it the "cannot equip gear to off-hand" attribute if it's two handed. That way it would match how other multi-slot equipment is handled and would work far better for glamour purposes.

Bumping this again as it would be nice addition to have

This! Leveling WHM and I really like how unique the wand + shield look is. Really hate to see it being abandoned

Again bumping as still would love to see this option in the game, and not heard anything about it for a while now... still have fingers crossed that it maybe ninja fixed in somewhere lol

But they did change it to allow us to glamour multi-armour-slot items onto a single piece of armour - I don't get how this is any more fundamentally impossible than that was.

Well, someone on Reddit speculated...

With the change in PvP to set stats for jobs, we should be able to at least do PvP with our preferred one handed equipment!




Still, I would really like to be able to glamor the one handed stuff over the two handed.
Even if we can't glamor shields with them...

Bump'n cause I just found this & can't understand why they went "U want 1h WHM/BLM weapons as a glamour well here have the same weapon as seperate 2h glamour item" rather then just allowing the 1h weapon to be used like chest/leg gear are for multi-slot gear. I hear there gona revamp Glamour in 4.2 so maybe this will happen anyway... if all I got is hope.

They should just bring back shields.
Would fix the issue, kinda. But I always enjoyed the battlemage style.

Bump this again as no info on this really. Might as well take wands outt of the game instead maybe?

I wonder with all the new glamour things coming are they going to finally allow wands and sheilds ?

I would love to see this implemented, too. I bought the FF13 Blm weapon anticipating it either being converted into a 2-handed equivalent along with all the others or to be made glammable [actually bought it in anticipation of this... what a fool!] but alas, no such luck. I just want my tiny clock wand, please!

I was kind of hopeful that the glamor commode could possibly allow this to happen through some coding kerfuffle...

But alas, using a glamor plate still does not allow us to glamor 1h weapons over 2h weapons.

still hoping on this, I would love to be able to either glam 1H weapon or to have the option of 1 handed and shield to marry the stats.

Bumping this. Was finally getting around to messing with my WHM glam "even tho I never use the WHM", and found out you can't use the one handed wand or shield...I want shields back as a healer or at least make it look like I have one. Please? lol

Massive bump as still not heard anything :(

Sorry to bump again but did they report that this was never going to happen or was it one of those we wait and see things?

Still nothing :( any one have any idea's why we can not glamour wand and sheilds onto 2 handed whm and blm weapons?

Hoping this may still get picked up >.>

Me too, I bought the little moogle time wand from the mog station a few years ago, only to find out then it could not be glammed over a staff
But now with blue mage, sure it can be used effectively

I have always wanted this option though, we hold the wand & the staff the same as we would a staff but obviously the stance itself varies on the class

Yeah blu is a very good point about wands never thought of that before!!

Anyone else would love to see wands become glamour for whm and blm again?

Any news if this will bring back wands again at all, with this new glamour system?

If nothing else, there's two MogStation items from the FF13 collab that are completely useless unless they do something like this. Maybe that'd be enough motivation to figure out a way to make it work.

Nope still only 2 handed staves etc only
