Mighty Moggle Mogrod/Malevolent Moggle Mogwand Remains Useless, Thanks SE

If they did something like that I could start to see a reason for them working on glamoring 1 hand onto 2 hand weapons or the reverse. As it stands now its a small population that would benefit from developing that feature so I don't think we will be seeing it anytime soon.

Well, they did make it possible to glamour 1-slot armour pieces onto multiple-slot armour pieces from the start, and now they've also made it possible to glamour multiple-slot armour pieces onto 1-slot armour pieces... Without simultaneously removing the class restrictions on glamours. So if it's a coding thing, they pretty much have the code already for it. It shouldn't be that much more work to change "armour" to "weapon" in the coding, should it? And if it's a matter of ticking a checkbox on the actual items (so to speak), there being fewer 1H weapons only means there's less work, doesn't it? O.o I mean, it's not like they'd need to edit the weapon appearances or animations, since the animations are exactly the same for 1H and 2H weapons.
Honestly, I don't quite see what would make it so agonizingly bothersome to fix. Surely it's taken a lot more effort and resources to make the new 2H versions of the 1H primal weapons, right?
(Disclaimer: my coding knowledge is based on basic PHP and Ruby/RPGMaker coding, so I'm sure there are intricacies I'm not aware of, but I just can't see how much different it would be to implement the same function for one type of equipment compared to another type of equipment...)

I want to glamour the lightning event staff on my blm but I cant because its 1H -_- SE pls.

I wish they just add 1-hand staff and rods into the tome shop (inclusive shields). That would be much simpler.

it's your own fault. instead of getting the useless one handed weapon with no other reason than expecting you can exchange it at some point for a two handed weapon you should have gotten only the materials to craft the one handed weapon and wait for adding the recipe for the two handed OR a way to exchange the one handed weapon.

They had said on multiple occasions that they were working on making it where it would be a 2-handed so we could use for glam. Had that not been the case I wouldn't have got it made. It was November of last year when they promised us they were doing away with glamour/slot restrictions when I had it made. Then patch hits and they only applied the slot changes to armor, not to weapons as well.

Yeah, it would have been better if the 1hand mog weapon is part of the recipe for the 2 hand weapon to give it an upgrade feeling

The only problem with this one is that you would still need to craft it yourself because you can't trade a trials reward item to another person.

It is about changing the crafted 1 hand weapon into a 2 hand weapon, not about the trial ones.

What Felis most likely meant (and probably meant to respond to in the post above mine) is that the crafted 1H weapon should be the basis of the 2H recipe.

Of course, that'd just make it more complicated to craft the 2H weapon in the future, since it'd mean you'd be forced to craft the 1H weapon first, meaning you'd spend a lot more catalysts that way.
So... the easiest way would be if they'd made it possible to exchange 1H crafted weapons for 2H crafted weapons -- they could even have made it so that no matter if you exchange an NQ or HQ 1H weapon, you'd get an NQ 2H in return (basically not make any distinction regarding what type is being handed in). Since the majority would just use it for glamour anyway, and not for actual combat, that'd work fine.
(Of course, there'd then be those who'd complain that they'd had a HIGH quality 1H weapon, and deserved to get a high quality weapon in exchange, but... yeah =/)

Ideally, the fix would be to bring back shields and 1h weapons for mages.
But I don't think they'll do that.

Exactly, it wouldn't be hard to do this. Or they could do away with the slot restriction, if they can do it with armor surely it would be the same process for the weapons.

It just makes no sense to me why they can apply the exchange to the trial drop but not to the crafted. It's asinine and it def seems they're trying to somehow punish players who had the wand made. I don't care if my HQ gets exchanged for an NQ, like you said it's just glamour. If they would at least discuss the situation and their reasoning other than radio silence it would be something. Ugh, SE, why you do dis?!
