SAM and RDM pre SB weapons

Someone told me that SAM and RDM wouldn't get their weapon from old content as DRK, MCH and AST did but wasn't sure about that fact, anyone know anything about that?

Don't think they said? I can see them putting in Primal Weapons, but no pre-50 weapons...

Dunno, pretty sure info on this hasn't been released yet.

That would be dumb otherwise since you start them 50, just like there's no sub 30weap for HS jobs

So they start at 50, and aren't getting any HW and earlier gear?

...What're they gonna do for 10 levels then?

I wasn't precise enough, the weapon we're talking b=about is all primal and raid weapon that are now just glamour, they would still get lvling weapons

There are Primal and raiding versions of the weapons for DRK, AST and MCH. They made soldiery and poetics versions too. I expect that they would 50 and 60 EX Primal drops for the themas well as from coil and Alexander.

They will share gear with existing classes for 50-60, all that the dev team will do is add their weaponry to appropriate content (raids/primals/dungeons/etc) as previously mentioned.

For weapons (at least with the last three new jobs), there likely won't be any made under the starting level.

They'll still likely have ARR primal weapons, but it'd be pointless to make any pre-50 weapons for them aside from weapons intended to be glamours.

They will get all types of lv50-60 weapons, except relic weapon and anima weapon

I find this most likely. DRK/AST/MCH only found low level weapons because they had to level from 30 onward. If RDM and SAM start at 50, there's no real point for anything though. They'll probably get a full suite of the crafted 50 gear, all the old tome weapons (darklight, Ironworks etc) Allagan and high allagan, and primal stuff. But anything else before 50 will be similar to HW classes before 30, not there.

The devs have not said anything about this. However, I will agree with the above statement.

I believe we will get lv 50 SAM and RDM weapons from:

• appropriate dungeons (Darklight from WP, AK, etc.)
• crafting (i55 relic hosts, i95 primal crafting, i110 wootz, etc)
• Coils (Binding/Second/Final)
• Tomes (Soldiery, Poetics)
• Primals (Ifrit, Garuda, Titan, Mog, Levi, Ramuh, Shiva)
• i90 weapon reward EX's: Garuda, Titan, Ifrit
• PvP (i90 Direwolf, i100 animal-themed gear?)

I believe they have indeed said that SAM will share gear with MNK and RDM will share gear with casters (BLM/SMN).

I just hope they add all possible lv50 weapons! >_>

I would be mad If I cant craft Ifrit Primal weapon for Samurai

I would not be surprised if RDM/SAM get ironworks weapons (120) and augemented ironworks weapons (130) added to their respective vendors, much like DRK, AST and MCH got. HW vendors will almost certainly have weapons added for RDM/SAM. In the same vein of the ironworks gear, I expect RDM/SAM to get Doman/Artifact/Eikon/Shire weapons added as well. I would also not be shocked if primal weapons were added in much the same way as DRK/AST/MCH, particularly since lvl 50 is when those primal weapons become available anyways.
