Patch Notes, BLM and WHM One Handed Weapons Question

So I see that the old primals will now drop 2 handed weapon instead and one-handed from these can be traded for 2 @ Aelina. Does this also apply to the crafted weapons, or only the ones that drop?

I am not too interested in the originals dropping new versions, I am however very interested to see if I can ever actually use my crafted Mogwand for glam.

I believe they are basically replacing all one handed versions for 2 handed versions. Sifting out 1.0 content and that you can trade the onehanded versions for the two handed versions. Crafts might just be altered to make the two hander instead.

Only the ones that drop from 3.2 on will always be 2 handed. It is implied that the current one handed Brands, Scepters, Cudgels and Wands will stay in game and that in future patches they will be adding 2 handed crafted versions.

I believe you can still glamour 1 handed weapons on to 2 handed weapons. The only difference is that you can not have a shield when using a 2 handed weapon glamoured as a one handed weapon.

I wonder if the one handed weapons I have from these primals will turn into the two-handed versions or not :/.

You have to exchange them. If not, it will remain as it is.

[2.0] Two-handed conjurer and thaumaturge weapons have been added and are now obtainable from the following trials:
Duty Item
The Bowl of Embers (Hard) >> Ifrit's Rod
The Howling Eye (Hard) >> Garuda's Tail
The Howling Eye (Hard) >> Staff of the Crags
Thornmarch (Hard) >> Mighty Mogrod
The Whorleater (Extreme) >> Wave Cane/Tidal Wave Cane
The Binding Coil of Bahamut >> Allagan Rod

Players will no longer be able to obtain one-handed weapons from the above trials. However, players may exchange their two-handed weapon for one-handed, and vice versa with Aelina in Mor Dhona (X:22 Y:6).
* In the patches hereafter, other one-handed weapons will be designed as two-handed weapons.

What that basically means is that those trials above will only drop the 2-handed version after 3.2. However, you can exchange those new 2-handers for the old 1-hander counterparts. You can also exchange your current 1-handers for the new 2-hander counterparts.

And that last part means that in future patches, they will do the same for other wands.

Yes, but will you able to turn the crafted one handers for a crafted 2 hand equivalent? It mentions the dropped items but not crafted. Sitting on a weapon that cost 10 mil to make and cannot even use for glamour. So will these items remain unusable trash or will we be able to change them out also?

Sadly, no. This would have made it unnecessary to create these new 2H versions of the primal weapons. You never could do this, AFAIK, something I've wanted them to change from the first I realized you couldn't. I mean, you can glamour a robe onto a cowl (or a tincan chest+head piece), but you can't do a similar thing with weapons? ¬_¬

Only those that were listed in the patch notes.
I just wish the devs would just bring crafted ilevel 200+ shields for CNJ/THM ingame.

That's the whole reason I had the made in the first place. They announced with prior patch they were doing away with slot requirements so I thought that meant weapons also and spent the money to get it made. I really don't understand why it would be so hard to do the same thing they did with cowls etc. The most expensive weapons in game, totally useless.

I hope we can craft those new 2-hand Primal too!
Cant wait to check my recipes after maint! ;D

I think they're trying to do away with the shields completely. My understanding is they're another weird relic of 1.0's gameplay.
