What should the new Ex Primal drop?

[ruskie]

Accesories for sure i200 min, weapons - would be nice for more glamour but can live without.

[Stormfur]

Elemental-themed armor *please*

That would be ore fitting to he 2.X primals (Bar Odin, Mog, Phoenix, Bahamut...)

You know what I'd like? A whole event built behind Primals... Something like Sky Exploration, perhaps going into the various Beast Tribes Strongholds?

If you tied that in with the Primal fights, I think that would give Primals a much longer shelf life... You're no longer doing a Primal for a weapon, or pony, you'd doing it for an item that grants you access to an entire event...

I mean, take Bismarck... He is dead, he was dead at launch... Bismarck was literally nothing more than a stepping stone to farm Ravana for weapons... I certainly find none of his weapons particularly appealing, so I've done Bismarck (Extreme) a grand total of once. Slap "Requires an Expanse Totem" on the requirement to enter the new Sky Exploration zone (which being in the Sea of Clouds, you could argue is a Vanu Vanu area) though? Well would you look at that... Bismarck suddenly becomes extremely relevant, assuming Sky Exploration isn't a complete flop.

For the most part it's also something you can easily apply to the other Primals... Entirely new open world zones (like the Sky Exploration area) would need to be added, of course, but for the most part those are there, or could easily be added... The Ixali have a gate in Coerthas Central Highlands (just north from Natalan) which could lead to an Ixali Stronghold to make Garuda relevant. At the back of Zahar'ak there is a blocked gate and fairly ominous tower, perfect for a new zone. Sylphlands has a fair few dead ends which could lead somewhere. There's a dock at the back of the Sahagin area. Even something like the Ultima Ballad could grant you access to more of Castrum Centri for such an event... Odin, Mog and Shiva are a bit harder to work out, but I'm sure something similar could be done... Odin doesn't have his own tribe, but I'm sure there could be a particularly dangerous part of the Shroud they could lock behind him, same for Mog... Shiva could just work of Snowcloak...

IDK, maybe I'm just tired of events all just being handed to me instantly in the Duty Finder, I'd quite like having to do some leg work to access an event... Bonus points if it also keeps old content relevant...

It doesn't matter because with i210 aetherical gear from exploration Hunts without weekly limits anything EX will drop (stat-wise) will be instantly obsolete.

That depends largely on how easy it is to get that i210 gear and how lucky you get both on the gear and on the stats. I reaaaaally doubt the exploration thing is going to be the gear treasure trove that everyone imagines it will be.

Likewise. They weren't happy with the speed at which Hunts allowed people to hit i110 in 2.3 (given that they doubled the grind for 2.5), and I'd be surprised if the grind for Exploration Missions isn't even longer than what it was for Hunts in 2.5, especially given that you need RNG on your side for stats. My suspicion is that it's intended to be evergreen content, something people will always be able to return to to get that "perfect" piece (both for stats and for glamour), so I'm not confident we'll see anything remotely near one good i210 piece a week from it.

Ring for sure as currently the eso ones for many classes is well... yeah
I do think we currently have more then enough weapon options especially since dare i say it... new Relic is coming soon

[Eidolon]

God give us 210 accessories.

I miss when ex primals were relevant. Garuda, Titan, and Ifrit were challenges with amazing gear rewards for the challenge. Compare these to the later EX's like Shiva and you can tell which was better.

Come on square. Give us something challenging with no lockout with a good reward. Do it.

I hope they drop more content.

But then however will SE deal with, "But they got all the content and I got none!!!"
