Primal Armor

Do you think it would ever be possible to get primal armor. I really love the designs of the armor in Final Fantasy XIV, and I love the primal designs too. I'd love to have things like a Feather trimmed, high collar Garuda casting robe, or a Ifrit mail for my paladin. I think this kinda content would be awesome, and allows us to show/represent our favorite primals!

Definitely would be great and give more reason for players to run old primals again for things other than ponies, already have Odin armour. =P Only problem I have with it is SE's love for grinding, either going to be an abysmal drop rate or locked behind crafting + rare drops, so it costs millions of gil per piece. .-.

Probably rare drops, combined with rare desynth results. I'm a crafter and I'd love to see primal armour around but it'd be a bugger to get/make... I think we'll just have to settle for the choco bardings we already get.

would be cool to have primal armour

something like monster hunter

with a flaming or glowing crafted variant

Yes please. It'll be fine if it's rare, or costs a ghastly amount of mats to make (augmented primal weapons). It'll help create a supply/demand for crafters as well, as we desperately need it in 3.0.

This sounds like an ace idea.

Armour of Vortex
Helmet of inferno

I'm so in for this idea and another excuse to fight extreme primals all over again!

10/10 would craft, would fight!

I'd love to have this in, seems kinda strange we can craft weapons but with that being from master crafting books, surely one of those crafters who wrote the book must have said "Why not try making something to wear?" Something tells me Ravana and Ifrit may be the most common or sought after gear though, with Shiva pulling close behind.

Please no glowing armor....please.

If they add it with similar rediculous requirements like the Artifact gear just to color them, then no.

If it's simply fight them several amounts of times like 5 fight per piece. Then I am ok with and fully support primal armor idea.

I'd like this, but... why would it have to involve obscene prices and lots of crafting? @_@ Can't it just be a drop off primals.

So that would, assuming they don't give dragoon medium armour, be about... fifteen pieces per Primal, for five slots ((It's Head, Body, Gloves, Pants, Boots, right, I'm not missing anything?)) times three sets.

At... eight... Primals, nine with GK Moogle Mog, ten at Bahamut, we'd have 120, 135, or 150 new pieces of armour. I'm thinking I'd like trade in drops or craftable drops so I could get could just get fifteen drops from each primal rather than fifteen SPECIFIC drops per Primal. Even then I'm running these trials... maybe a combined 500 times ((the 120 times four for middle of the party rolls, rounded up for drops that aren't armour or armour related.))

... What, I like clothes. Of course I'd work on getting them all.

Been wishing for Shiva's outfit for glamour for a while now.

Thought about this the other day. We get Primal weapons, which are cool, but how much cooler it would be to be completely clad in Primal armor along with the weapon and then maybe get a big elemental resistance bonus (even though it would be useless and the armor itself wouldn't be BiS anyways).

I can see DoW getting fancy specially designed armor that fits the job while DoM having the healers getting the same uninspired robe with minor changes littered with gold designs and the mages getting a cowl with glowing parts. Can't say i'd be too excited.

They'd have to not glow... Otherwise you'd be forced to wear the entire set to just not look silly. And it'd have to be full sets for each primal, otherwise you look really really rainbow if it went along the lines of "Ifrit helm, Garuda Legs...."

Well if it was a cowl you really wouldn't see the helm or legs, lol. Nyan Miqo'tes could be a new thing.

Says the person with a chocobo helm :P

I think the way they did the PvP armor would be a good route in design for the primal armor.

Let's just have some primal Savage modes that drop them like the others drop gear and weapons.

You already look a tad silly mixing and matching many sets.
Some mixes work nicely, I'll admit, but others not so much. I don't see the problem with glowing. At least on Ifrits set we need an ember glow!
Maybe Ramuhs could have some electrical arching. You know, just stuff that matches the weapons!

I thought itd be cool if they introduced a savage primal fight level. Give all the old primals level 60 buffage, and have the armor sets drop from them, maybe with a token system of hey youve beaten the boss x times you can buy a piece since it hasnt dropped. and then maybe make it so theres a ridiculously rare drop that can be used to buy or craft an upgrade to the styleized primal armor to add elemental glow effects. wind around garuda armor pieces, flames for ifrit, floating stones for titan, flowing water for leviathan, lightning discharges for ramuh, snowfall for shiva, bismark could maybe have rain falling from its armor? ravanah would get a stronger glow to it, or maybe have some of his butterflies flying around the armor.

An idea could be that a ring that could be glamoured or put on to activate the effects of the armor. Say you have your normal ifrit armor, as soon as your equip the correct ring, the flames turn on. Would help alleviate the crowding of armor I think. Assuming this is something they could somehow work in or manage. As opposed to having the 4 primal + 4 effect primal gear (cus dunno about you i have a hard time throwing away old gear regardless) of the same type. Just having the 1 ring per primal.

Imo i rather have it made from primal demi materia and the body requiring an ex primal item drop ( i.e inferno horn ).
So that way
-desynthing will become relevant again
- raiders/ adventurer battle ppl have stuff to sell to crafters
( demi materia and primal drops )
- there will be a new supply and demand
- it will retain its uniqueness and rarity vs token turn in route

Honestly Having ANOTHER rehashed primal fight is probs a really stupid idea that would just be a waste of dev's time.

I think a savage version of the primals is a good idea and I was actually thinking of the same thing the other day. A lot of people put a lot of emphasis on learning the patterns of the fights (including extremes) and I don't think they should be that predictable. Armour drops or armour crafting materials from those fights would make good rewards.

i wouldn't count bahamut all of final coil gives armour based on him with the dreadwyrm sets.

but if they added the glamor option for armour based on the other primals (including HW because a ravine set would be sweet) i'd farm them all XD

Just digging up this old thread cause I thought, in light of the latest patch, it would be funny.
