BLM staff used for Meteor

[DukeBurden]

Hey, guys! Anyone have any info on the staff us BLMs conjur up when we use the Meteor LB3? It's clearly not the staff we're currently equipped with.

It's unusual because it seems to be a variant of the Astaroth Cane, which is actually a CNJ weapon....

For what it counts, melee LB is Cloud's Buster Sword...which is unavailable in-game.

It's weird that it isn't just the stardust rod, since the BLM relic story is a mage summoned a meteor down to earth.

Well I'm assuming they went with an "aether-born" weapon (like that buster sword) as a generic since multiple jobs were sharing LB animations. However, SE stated they will be adding job-specific animations, so who knows what will change.

Yes! This is exactly what the staff looks like except all purple/glowy. At first I tried to think of the lore but the Stardust Rod is actually made of pieces from the Meteor that was summoned down.

I guess we'll just have to go with this explination lol. "aether-born" weapon to do our bidding.
