[Request] Matte Mandervillous Weapons

Hi, I've never made a forum post here before. I finished the new relic step today and I typically enjoy the version of the weapon without the glow effects.
While it is nice they added a matte replica of the 2nd appearance of the weapons it is pretty disappointing the final appearance has no replica without the bright glow effects. Shadowbringers resistance relics also had a matte version of the final step so I'm unsure why these were left out.
May we please have this in a future patch?

It seems like this shouldn't be too hard for them to create! I like things with a subtle glow, so the final version is just way too much of a laser light show for me. I would also like a version without the bright glow effects.

They have the base model already, so it shouldn't be hard

Please add matte versions of the final relics!

This is an easy request to support.

No, the Maat weapons come in Dawntrail with the FFXI crossover.

I'm not sure what this means lol

Yea I agree we should get matte replicas aswell.

Can't agree with this enough.

I agree, weird there isn't...

I agree with this. Some of the glows are cool, some are a bit much.

So much!!

Matte replicas are a thing of beauty! All relics should have them <3

Including btw the Amazing Manderville weapons, I know they are just recolors, but they should really have a matte version too :3

While we are talking about it, there is no dyable version of the laws order weapons without the glow either. I love the laws order machinist resistance weapon and have always wanted a dyable version without the blue glow!

the real question is why wasn't this already implemented like the last versions? this is another case of square cutting small corners in every facet of the game..
but what are we to expect when the relic just cut the middle man and is literally just a mindless roulette grind for a week per weapon, why have engaging quests when we can just tell the dog to fetch.

WoW has an illusion tab where you can unlock the special effect glamour and apply it to other gear. It would be awesome if SE could separate the SFX from the weapon, such that you could not only remove it, but also 'move' it. Another huge reason to collect fancy weapons in that you could use it on other stuff. Relic effect on whatever weapon you want, or ultimate even.

quick reference to those who are not familiar with what WoW did:

Definitely agree, I miss having multiple steps added during the update with the base weapon, then base weapon but dyable, then dyable weapon + glow effects. Really disappointing it's just lumped together now and we are losing the freedom to choose which part we like.

This is a cool idea but with how janky our glamour system is I just can't see it happening. At least anytime soon

Matte versions of all relic gear would be great. Some of them have really nice models that you'll never see under all of the obnoxious glowing effects.

I'd like semi-matte weapons. The monk weapon would make no sense without the beam knife, but the rings can go.

Make them rewards of a grueling grind, otherwise don't bother.

Honestly just the beams -- especially if the beams were dyeable -- would make this the sickest monk weapon yet.

I understand folks are unhappy with the current relic formula and I agree it's the most boring it's ever been. However all of the other matte relics have always just unlocked when you finish the weapon normally. I don't really see the point in adding a tedious requirement to something with less flair than the standard glowy relic.

Maat is the NPC in Final Fantasy 11 who handles the quests that allow you to increase your level cap from 50 through to 99. They're trying to crack a joke about maat and matte being homophones.
