They're crafted, not grand-company rewards. Not entirely sure I understand why they're listed as Grand Company gear either... when it says right in the post they're crafted.... Maybe there are materials DoH have to get from the company to make them?

Just about as lame as your perception and commentary.

Man if they scale...we won't be wielding bricks we'll be wielding anvils.

I see nothing wrong with anvils for gloves...

or something...like retractable molten blocks of darksteel? You should go drool over Garudas Claws then...

And it's made of iron.... IRON. A 5+ foot long, 2 foot wide sword made of Iron. Seems pretty realistic to me.

Also, this guy's sword is made of water. Just sayin'.

Looks real to me...

"New weapon recipes planned for patch 1.22 are for gladiator, pugilist, marauder, and lancer classes only. Weapons for other classes are planned for release sometime after patch 1.22a."

I'm reading this as exclusive to the class, and not the job. Which sorta makes sense. I know they mentioned class-specific gear coming out at some point.

I must say, the PUG weapons so far had not dissapointed me. But omg, the bricks is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. I do really love that bow though, looks awesome!

HEY YEAH! JUST WHAT WE NEEDED! MORE WEAPONS! HALF OF WHICH WILL HAVE REALLY BAD STATS! Because like, Ifrit's, Moogle's, and Garuda's wont be nearly enough! ...

For New Weapon need Darksteel Ore and Gryphon Hide.... Very Difficult to farm... more than Cobalt and Karakul Fleece? OMG hours and hours behind useless weapon \o/ yeahhhh

You hear that square? Don't put any more weapons in the game. More is bad.

Please don't put anything else in the game anymore, we don't like it. Never add any content ever.

Don't be stupid. More content is great, but there is no need to make new content obsolete so fast by adding more of the same content... I just hit 7/7 Ifrit's weapons yesterday, and I haven't even started on Moogle yet. We have Garuda coming out very soon, that is, if there are no delays which im sure there will be. Why would SE make another weapon set? Why not make an armor set for a change, or actually add some useful gear for crafters?

well, the bow user is wearing darklight equip, which points toward those weapons being equipable by jobs as well. though a preview is a preview.

I'm pretty sure this whole "class exclusive" thing is bonkers because the Bow is a harp/bow much like the BRD AF weapon... So only allowing ARC to use it would make absolutely no sense.

Unless they finally realized there is no particularly compelling reason to prevent us from using Darklight on classes... Or that's the new crafted gear sporting the same model? (Doubtful, but they did mention Darksteel... I'd laugh. Though I really hope we see legit. Darksteel armor, though I guess partially I don't hope that, because I'll be pissed if it's class only!)

No it's not? There's nothing even remotely harp-like about it. Just because it expands/contracts does not make it a harp.

I dunno man.

The way it folds looks a lot like the BRD AF which is already in-game. Also looks like there's strings there, just like the AF.

Then again those could be arrows as well, it's hard to tell.

It will be hard to make more fancy glowing weapons like these in the future - after such a small period of time...the gap between lvl 50 standard weapons and christmas-tree-ifrit-weps was too big.


to the post above: thats arrows,not strings lol

I don't think the "class-exclusive" means "battle class-exclusive."

If we look at what was in the last March producer letter it says "class-exclusive recipes" with the addendum "planned to be highly challenging synthesis.

Quote:

---

1.22 -NEW-
High-level recipes -NEW-
Addition of class-exclusive high-level recipes * Planned to be highly challenging synthesis.
1.22 -NEW-
High-level recipe items -NEW-
Addition of new ingredients for high-level recipes -

---

I believe there's something SE is keeping secret about the "class-exclusive" part that has to do with DoH.

Either that or battle classes will use some sort of Grand Company facility to craft them theirselves and SE will /memberinthpoopschute to DoHs.

No offense, but I'm pretty sure you're reading it the wrong way.
It said that at the bottom as a disclaimer, NOT for the fact that the gear will be class exclusive, but to illustrate that in 1.22 the recipes that will be released are for gla, pug, mrd, and lnc only, and by "only" they mean it's a partial list of items.
Meaning the other classes will get their weapons in 1.22a.
Otherwise the wording would read "are exclusive to classes only"

Great designs, I love the weapons!. Good job SE

Maybe because, unlike you, the rest of the player base doesn't have or want ALL OF ZE WEAPONS O EPEEN. Maybe because if you are a casual player and only have two jobs at lvl 50 you would like to have 3, 4, or even 5 different weapons each with their own set of unique stats to choose from, depending on the situation.

YUH THINK?

Only one is very obviously an arrow (you can see the feather tip), the other two have no visible tip and might be strings? Again, I don't think they mean to make battle-class exclusive items. Sounds a bit dumb tbh.

It might be dumb to you but they do plan to release class-exclusive gear/weapons. If they are in this patch or not, that's another matter.

Three weapons over the course of 1.22.
1x CSW (Crafted)
1x JSW (Job Quest?)
1x Class/Job (Garuda)

So, maybe the Garlean Empire Stronghold and Hamlet Defence will supply materials for the new weapons, gear and accessories?
So, maybe the Job NPCs will give out one final quest. Possibly a fight?
Wonder what the entry requirements will be for Garuda. Probably kill 6 NMs.

Class Specific Gear IS coming one way or another.

I would wet myself if they released new gathering locations in Coerthas and Mor Dhona for my Botanist.
But I'm guessing the materials will be drops/rewards.
Also guessing the return of Ebony and other previously unused mats.

Oh, i read it as Imperial will be the crafted class-specific weapons, gear and accessories.

Gosh 50 is so crowed, we probably should've got a level cap increase with 1.20.

so are these GC or crafted. its titled new GC but it says crafted all through the text, plus it says new recipes...

Perhaps we have to obtain the recipe from grand companies, then craft them with new gathered mats?

The front page of Lodestone does say they're for DoH:

Patch 1.22 will see the addition of new weapons and armor available for crafting by Disciples of the Hand. This Topics post will provide some insight into the nature of these items, and introduce the social milieu that gave rise to their creation.

I have a hard time believing that in the current state of the game 5 weapons would find their way to being situationally useful... considering there are at the most three stats for any given class that are considered useful at all...

I agree with the confusion, though. The bit of lore above the video makes it seem like the guilds made these designs to compete with the companies. Seems strange that the GCs would be the ones to dole them out.

more weapons for more choice.... Ifrit Battle -> U Use Garuda Weapon, WAR need acc? use Moogleaxe, ecc ecc
FF not a normal MMORPG where new weapon > old weapon
For now Ifrit weapon for dd are the best o/

• New High level Crafted items - Fantastic!
• More Grand Company involvement - Superb!
• Class-only Weapons - Awesome! (If true)
• Weapon Designs - Too extreme for level 50 gear. Save some of the crazier stuff for years out or we'll have 'Carnival Fantasy XIV' long before any cap raise.

The PUG's weapon is sooooo awesome! Fiery cinderblocks punch!! Yay! xD
