Why are there no GNB/DNC weapons on the Stormblood hunt vendor?

I expected to be able to buy weapons for both new classes, as the inventory of every shop NPC should accommodate its stock in regards to their release, but the hunt vendors certainly haven't.

Why not?

Also noticed they have no trial weapons, no alex raid weapons, only shire tome weapon, no alphascape or deltascape weapon, or lost allagan or ala mhigan tome weapons.

so basically all they get besides crafted weapons in HW/SB content is Shire Tome Weapon, Alphascape Weapon, Ryumyaku Tome Weapon, and Scaevan Tome Weapon, POTD and HoH weapons.

small indie company. please understand.

They really went the bare-bones with the expac regarding weapons and items for these classes. Wtf is the point in new classes if we dont get to experience them the way we experience the other classes. Some of us like farming for loot and gear for the classes.

Well they also couldn't be bothered to make head gear work properly on Viera and Hrothgar.

I respect the difficulty involved in creating something like this, I really do. But between the new races not being able to display like 75% of the game's head gear and the new jobs having no cosmetic weapons... I mean... I don't really have anywhere to go with that except laziness.

Yeah, I'm curious as to why they did this. Between the lack of purchasable weapons from various vendors to the lack of crafted glamour weapons I'm genuinely confused. I would love to get a clarification from a community mod or a dev if possible.

All of the STB dungeons probably have the weapons as well, but I do know that the Siren Song Sea one drops them. I have the GNB weapon from it.

they definitely do have shire and scaeven weapons. They keep saying big time crunch, dunno how they'll catch up on so much tyhough

Honestly, I'm still waiting on Red Mage and Samurai getting Primal Focus weapons, not to mention getting their own versions of the Lv50 PvP gear sets (the animal themed ones, Samurai in particular needs a version of the Batsight gear, and now that I think of it Dancer is begging for a Peacock set...), heck the last set of PvP gear they added still doesn't even have an accompanying set of weapons like every other set... Not really going to hold my breath on Dancer and Gunbreaker getting their own versions of old sets any time soon...

(oh, and on the subject of PvP sets, Dancer and Gunbreaker also don't have Wolf Collar weapons, and nor does the lapis caster we dare not mention for that matter)

Considering several questionable choices and omissions it certainly seems that way.

I mean seriously: 2 new classes are introduced and NPC shop inventory isn't expanded to have items for them?

Hopefully on the full release we will see them added. I know I am wanting the Inferno version for Dancer.

What's the point though? Functionally speaking you don't need or should want anything that is a lower ilvl, you're just deliberately under gearing yourself at that point.

I sympathise with regards to raid/primal weapons, as they all tend to be super unique glamour options. But hunt vendor? You're just grasping at straws there.

And this, people, is the reason they keep telling us things are not possible due to whatever reasons. Because whenever you get something, you people act entitled and think you will always get it.

It's a shit ton of work to make weapons for all the old expansion whenever they add new jobs and it only gets worse with every new expansion.

Presumably they'll be added at a later date if there's enough demand. I don't blame them for not adding them right away given the sheer amount of jobs now present in the game and the backlog of work it'd entail.

They seemed to have no problem making i280 Coven weapons for the 2 jobs, though—weapons that most of the playerbase neither care about nor will likely ever see.

Whoa there, calm down. No reason to mistake disappointment with entitlement...

People expect these kinds of weapons to be added, because the devs have always gone out of their way to add them; With Heavensward they specifically said in interviews "Of course the new Jobs will have Ifrit/etc. weapons", granted a lot of Dark Knight weapons were just upscaled Paladin weapons, but those 3 Jobs got everything except Relic weapons. Same deal with Stormblood, "Of course they'll have Ifrit/etc. weapons", although that was where we started to see gaps forming, no Primal Focus weapons, no Coil weapons.

To go from that, to straight up nothing? That's very noticeable, of course people are going to comment on it... I don't really see anyone demanding these weapons be added, people are just voicing disappointed. Every new Job has had old Primal/etc weapons, and for some part of the excitement for seeing new Jobs is checking out those weapons, people are perfectly within their rights to comment on that, given the purpose of these forums...

A glowing Thordan weapon would look so cool on GNB. The jobs start at 60 so it is not unreasonable to expect at least the level 60 primal weapons which are classic glamour stuff.

Or you know, the ppl looking forward, saving nidhogg scales and sophia crystals only to learn its not possible... i imagine an sephirot gnb sword must be sweet as well.

Its not like a weapon is that much work, even less when you basically can mesh parts of existing ones xD

Does anyone know if there is a salesman of Gunblades between 60 to 70?

I think they just didn't have time or it wasn't a high enough priority.

Hopefully they add the missing weapons with 5.1.

They can't acknowledge things like "glamour is the true endgame" publicly and then fail spectacularly at providing glamour for their shiny new jobs and races.

It starts at 60 and people are going to spam it to 80 by the end of the week and look forward to new gear, not glamour.

I like the fact that SE doesn't go back and retrofit every item to every job. I would sooner have more new content then old content reworked.

I did it in a day and still had time to glamour myself.

Also what rework? Asking for cosmetic weapons to be added to the things that grant cosmetic weapons? It's a weapon. For DNC (for instance) it's a fiery circle for an Ifrit weapon. Give me a break.

They have done it before with RDM, SAM, DRK, MCH and AST with adding new weapons across various levels, specifically crafted glamour weapons. They have also "retrofitted" every piece of gear in the game to work with new jobs. GNB can use any lvl gear that relates to their role for example. So yes, they have done it before. Nothing would need to be reworked. Things would just need to be added...like they should have been in the first place. Now don't get me wrong...if they don't want to add any more weapons to older content then I will live. I have my dream job, and there will be plenty of options in the future. I would just be very disappointed if they didn't.
