Can we expect a new Main Hand relic?

Just out of curiosity, are there any plans on implementing a new Main tool for crafters? A bit like the next lucis?

i'd like to know if i should be throwing away all my lucis at this point. i need the retainer space but its one of those things where i fear the moment i do toss em, i find out i should have kept them

I kept mines too in case of....but i hope just not, we spent so much time and ressources for having our Lucis and once the next patch was up all thoses tools were just outdated so fast and by some "white" HQ tools...

It's not motivating but more frustrating.

I doubt you would need them, but it's possible you might be able to skip a step in the grind if you have one, sort of like they did with the Zeta weapons for the Anima questlines.

A better question might be why you can't put your Lucis tools in the armoire, so you wouldn't have to make a decision like this.

I know my Mammon Lucis was equivalent in stats to a NQ Adamantite Dolabra...aka the lvl 60 tool. So for leveling yes use them.

If it's a "i like the look" then go ahead and toss em the requirements for getting another Lucis have gone down so far it made me cry a bit.

this, and let me throw my old relics i never got to zeta in there as well

I hope new crafter relics will have a glow. I want a glowing pizza cutter.

I actually just whipped together a Lucis crafting tool the other day, practically from scratch. I had a bunch of extra GC seals, and while debating what to do with them, I decided to get that "Light of Hand" achievement I had been missing. I think the worst part of it was getting the fieldcraft III demimateria, because I still don't think there is a method for farming that as good as desynthing the bridesmaid shoes.

So while a new crafting relic might be cool, the existing Lucis tools are so easy to obtain now, that I think there isn't much point in requiring them as a prerequisite.

Lucious tools has never been a relic, it was merely a BiS tool that took more effort to obtain similar to the i170 one we can craft now.

Not to mention the lucious became obsolete long time ago and it would be foolish of SE to assume people saved them when there has been no apparent reason at all that they would play any kind of role in the future.

It's an upgradable mainhand item rewarded from a quest that fits into the armoire in its base form. People refer to it as a relic because what else do you call it?

Ugh for godsake let us put the Lucis equip to Armoire already (Augmented AF1 also). I almost cannot put my favor and 2 star material on retainer anymore :(

Too early to see new crafting gear / main hands

I wouldn't be too surprised if they introduced a new main hand tool as Artisan's main hand tools were introduced in patch 2.2 to coincide with the release of level 50 3* crafts.

I'd imagine that if they add level 60 3* crafts in 3.2, they'd likely introduce a new tool and/or a new master recipe book.

I'd be surprised if they released a new main hand tool period for quite awhile, the current 170/180 tools are already overkill for everything craftable in the game, an addition to lucis seems unlikely to me.

imagine if the Luminary tools finally had a use and an upgrade, besides having to get the item in the first place, you have specific hard HQ recipes for each one to complete and upgrade?? They just take up room in inventory...
i got one for weaver only..meh

Given how easy it is to get them now, it would be very unlikely that if you have them you skip some step in the next, like they just did for battle classes.

i'd hope so yes, the stat gain from the i150 to i170 mainhand is not so good considering the materials required, when compared with the offhand's higher gain (i140-i170) for fewer materials.

It would make sense as a way to provide the push into 3-star alongside the current i170 gear we have available now. Replacing class specific equipment shouldn't happen for a while, surely...But SE seeing it that way is another matter.

Lucis were best MH still until 60.

They didn't play a roll in the past either. They were never required for anything. They literally went from 4 star to 4 star with Lucious... I'm woefully sorry I ground out all 8 of them after seeing SE just stopped there.
