Has there been any more info on New job old Primal weapons? Specifically crafted ones

I was wondering if anyone has heard any more on this. A month or two back they said the new jobs will be getting old Primal weapons like Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan.

Have they mentioned anything about Moogle or Levi or any of the crafted versions with crazy spell effects? I'm having a hard time searching for info because the search of "Heavensward new jobs primal weapons" is too vague.

The only information I remember seeing is this piece of concept art:

Which seems to suggest that they will be getting Primal weapons. While not pictured, I think its a safe bet that if Garuda and Ifrit weapons are included than so will weapons from more recent Primals, but I don't think anything has been confirmed.

They did not specify anything about crafted primal weapons for the new jobs, they just said "primal weapons", but I'm kinda sure there will be crafted ones too, as they use the same 3d model of the non-crafted ones with some glow/effect.

However unfortunately Lv95 Primal Weapons are way more expensive to craft than lv110 crafted weapons...

Wow those are so great. I wanted to get a Dark Knight Moogle crafted weapon, I think it would be really cool looking but the Kingly Whisker is ridiculously expensive, might try farming it. I'm reluctant to put in effort for something that may not exist though.

You'd be better off waiting until the expansion is out so you can farm it unsynced at 60 instead. That way you'll know for sure if there even is a crafted version as well.

That's a good idea. I'll just do that then.

Wow sexy! I'm very excited to see what DRK weapons will look like. Ifrit Greatsword will look HAWT.

I think this will become the official glamor for all guns..:cool::cool:

I'm taking a huge, wild guess. But there is a Screen Shot from the benchmark (I think it was the benchmark) that showed a DRK with the poetic great sword. it was just a stretched out version of the PLD one. Then there's the picture of Cloud's outfit and how there was a longer burtgang held in a DRK pose. So... I'd just assume until 3.0 all DRK weapons are just going to be longer versions of the PLD's weapons. The only exception I'd go with is Titan, which will probably be a very stretched out NIN weapon.

And if that's the case I will farm my ass off for the levi weapon. Already got the mirror. Gimme dat Water Katana >=D

In the LL (actually I think it was the PAX stream) in which they previewed these slides, they confirmed that these were concepts that didn't make the cut.

At the time of these concepts, they were considering an alternative equipment method for Machinist (use of ammo offhand like FFXI Ranger's quiver). That plan was scrapped, including these designs.

Anyway they also stated the new jobs will get Primal weapons. I don't know if that means EX crafted weapons though. But all Primal trials that drop weapons will start dropping DRK/AST/MCH weapons too. So Ramuh/Shiva Ex farms are a go

Maybe I should just assume they'll make it in then. As aerolol said it can't be very difficult to just brush the spell effects over the 3d model of the new weapons. I mean, if they go through the trouble of making the weapons in the first place why wouldn't they make it more enticing for people to continue using them through the crafting ones? Giving them spell effects is a much smaller step.

I'm certainly hoping the crafted i95 weapons will be available; I actually have all the materials put away to specifically make myself an Inferno Gun because that thing looks awesome.

If not I'll still farm for the vanilla version, but will be sad.

I've been completing Primal Focus so that I'll be able to buy the weapon for each new job (if weapons from that quest chain are going to exist at all). I can't even begin to imagine how gorgeous a Star Globe out of Shiva Ex is going to be *_*

I'm just hoping for a greatsword version of Zantetsuken and that it unsheathes in the same way.
