Just curious to see if I should plan time around it compared to Primals.

Just curious to see if I should plan time around it compared to Primals.
No download for the update yet, so no one has anything to data mine yet, give it a day and you'll have everything ripped out as per usual.
Just a thought from someone who knows nothing about 1.23 content, but I would figure Skirmish weapons would be on par with Ifrit/Moogle, maybe GC. Skirmish is content they've said you can just jump in to.
To me that means fairly easy content, and unless the drop rates/time investment on the weapons is huge, I can't see them being better than the good stuff out there.
I am excited to see what they do, though.
The weapons have been shown in this livestream multiple times:

The melee weapons seem to have 39.23 or .33DPS. . . all of them.
With a Secondary stat +5, Accuracy +10, Magic Evasion +10 on them.
For example, Polearm was Piety+5, Acc+10, Mag Eva+10.
Magic involved the same system, only with Magic Attack Bonus and Spell interupt resistance +50. :3
Edit: Also, apparently the weapons ARE meldable. Not sure if true. :3 Watch the stream to find out :D
So slightly inferior to Garuda.
Did you happen to see base damage on the bow?
Pretty gimp.
I did not. He will be going through the weapons a few times, might be able to check it out then.
Don't look too bad, they will be a nice way to catch people up that are returning or new to the game since it's jump in and jump out content and it sounds like the drop rate won't be awful. If they are meldable that's even better.

They are classified as meldable. If so, they will be nice alternatives to Garuda/some GC lieutenant stuff. Guess we'll see in-game.
Hmmm, when you consider that they are meldable, they have potential.
if they are, they're good weapons.
The armor is only rank 45 so it's not bad for that level. Although pointless seeing as you get from 45-50 in about an hour.
The weapons being meldable is definitely a wrinkle no one saw coming.
I love that they are meldable, and the new gear is too.
(Raises a very interested eyebrow)
Meldable.... suddenly everything changes.
This truly is the word of the hour... that they are indeed meldable makes these collection of spiffy weapons a very beautiful arsenal of potential pwn.
Yes indeed. Thank you for this.
