Will shiva bracelets turn in to 130

I just wonder if Ramuh's ring was an act of balancing or just a one time thing. Becoming 130 will keep the shiva more relevant in the long term until 3.0.

How do you feel.

I wouldn't bet on it. If Odin drops accessories, maybe those will be 130, maybe.

No, think they only increased Ramuh's ring ilvl because majority of the players didn't want to touch it after their first win.
It required a bit more coordination than most primals and the rewards were not enough to get people to do it - and still you see threads asking for Ramuh to be made "more farmable"

Ramuh's rings were not worth it on release due to most people having the soldiery i100 or i110 rings. Shiva EX not only drops i120 bracelets that are worth running her for, but she also allows for you to get an i115 weapon without going through the trouble of relic or T9.

Shiva is more like the Mog EX / Levithan EX of its time. As in it was released with the first patch of a new coil. Odin in 2.5 will likely drop the 130 accessory, as Odin would be similar to Rahmu.

Given that 2.5 is going to be the patch that closes everything, redoing the Shiva equip stats is somewhat pointless. Ramuh change was because the accessories were an unreasonable alternative given the level of content required to do it and the easier i110 gear being extremely quick to get due to The Hunt being introduced at the same time (as well as the also introduced crafted i90 rings). This isn't even including the typical Coil gear being there since the patch before. Basically, Ramuh gear, while decent in it's original i100 state, was made a poor option due to the challenge to acquire it compared to the alternatives that existed.

Did they ever buff mog ribbons? That's what it should be compared to, not ramuh which came out on an odd-numbered patch.

I doubt it. SE was generous enough to make Shiva weapons 115. Making accessories 130 wouldn't really fit the difficulty of the fight itself anyway, and Odin will also be a new trial, so the chances are extremely slim.

Ramuh was a special case in which his loot was obsolete from release. It required near i110 gear to clear to get i100 gear. It was also released on par with Hunts, which make him even more pointless.

Shiva on the other hand served the same purpose as Moogle Ex: A stepping stone. They where already nice enough to let the weapons go i115, so I don't really see a reason to upgrade the bracelets.

Will they let us upgrade them with diamond dust in 2.5?
