What previous xpac weapons have been added for the new jobs?
I know I've seen the PotD/HoH weapons on them. What about Bozjan weapons? Shadowbringers X boss weapons? Older boss weapons?
No, they probably have more concerns elsewhere than trying to continually establish and maintain support for newer jobs with assets from older content unless necessary. Aside from this, just the routine tomestone support and final tier raid weapon support.
Any relic weapons(Bozjan for example) are never created for new classes for previous expansions. There will be Endwalker relics for SGE and RPR, but not any before that.
Most extreme trial weapons are the same. At least after a certain point.
I think they said they would add a few retroactively in 6.1 (ultimate weapons and maybe some more?)
Yeah, it was the retroactive addition of the PotD/HoH stuff that made me wonder.
At the very least the primal weapons that can be craftable shoild be added to every job. Honestly its one reason i hate how they add new jobs seems like a lazy way to remove options for them so they dont overwhelm old jobs
It's not really a retroactive addition. You can go into PotD/HoH as Reaper and Sage, so logically they will need a weapon to use there. In this way every future job is guaranteed deep dungeon weapons. But do not expect much else. Gunbreaker and Dancer got pretty much nothing.
You need to have those weapons just to do palace of the dead and heaven on high so it's basically a requirement to not lock those classes out of an entire type of content
Generally speaking the best you can hope for is they may add one or two shadowbringers glowy trial weapons when they do that like how gunbreaker and dancer got a shinryu weapon
Don't expect to receive anything new this expansion beyond 90 relic, tome, raid, and extreme primals 90+ (aside from deep dungeon). The only exception was Dancer and Gunbreaker getting, as said before, Shinryu weapons and later Hades at the end of the expansion. The precedent has been set now that if you want to play a new job expect to have few options, and no glowy ones for quite a few major patches. Given the track record if they manage to release a current expansion primal weapon you'll probably expect it some point 6.5 or later (unless they add another previous expansion one like Shinryu which was a one-off).
At the least I feel like new recipes should be added for the crafted trials weapons since most if not all of them have pretty much always been glamour items.
Imagine a glowy moggle scythe with a moogle face on the blade... or moggle sage weapons that looked like tiny glowing moogles... and making moogle noises... >.>
Pretty sure Scaevan Weapons (lvl70) and Cryptlurker Weapons (lvl80) have been added for them.
There's only one reason they got the shinryu weapon while getting skipped on everything else. Don't bring up this argument when it frankly is moot.
If they get a Shadowbringer trial weapon, it's going to be from an Ultimate from here on out. Not even worth the effort to even hope on jobs getting older weapons since they skipped it completely unless necessary.
Also previous expansion weapons are there so the job isn't gimped on gear and forced to get scammed by crafters for millions of gil. Pretty sure that's obvious?
Everyone should get moogle weapons.
And the primal/elemental weapons would be welcome too.
They won’t add Bozja weapons. New jobs never get relics from previous expansions; only the current and future ones. At most, SGE and RPR will be getting UCoB, UwU, and TEA weapons—as well as DNC and GNB getting UCoB and UwU weapons. The developers have gone on record saying that they are adding these in at a later date due to the demand from those who do that content. And the dissatisfaction that ShB didn’t at least bring DNC/GNB weapons for the previous two Ultimates (but they did get O12S weapons).
I can’t imagine they’ll add any of the older primal weapons. If they do, it will likely be because of future plans to use them in a raid where they will want to reuse the asset. That’s the speculation with regards to DNC/GNB getting Shinryu weapons: he’ll likely be an Ultimate boss at some point, since they tend to do Ultimates based around main raid bosses (UCoB & TEA) and main primal bosses (UwU and the upcoming Dragonsong Ultimate). In that case, it might be likely for RPR/SGE to see Shinryu weapons? Maybe also Hades, since I’m positive he’s a front-runner for an Ultimate sometime in the future. Unless they go the TEA route and just throw darts at a board when picking out weapons for those two jobs.
Every job deserves the moggle weapons.
On reaper, I am using a lovely red dragon one from Shisui. I've not seen the Sage drop there yet, but it might be in the loot table, maybe. I run it a lot, and the RPR was a rare drop in there for me.
With a record 22% (USD$43.5 million) profit increase for the company this year, it would be nice if SE hired even a single extra weapon/clothing modeller to sit down and make back-fill and improved assets.
One thing I've noticed...there are very few dyable(less than 5) for both RPR and SGE. Hopefully we get more...sometimes the right colour of a weapon can perfect a glamour...and that's rather hard when you have 2 or 3 weapons that don't fit the glamour in their looks, but are the only ones that can be dyed.
