Drops of gear for finishing dungeons in SB

[Miste]

Uh? I'm not confusing getting the weapon from a chest. Considering at least three different occasions did the dungeon give me the weapon after the final boss was slain. Just like the gear. I am not imaging it, nor am I doubting the events that transpired. I 100% know for a fact it was given.

You must have confused it. I'm telling you it doesn't give weapon and it never did.

I wanted the entire shisui set on my RDM when I was first leveling it and this was at launch just like you. Not in any higher patch increment. I had full set and had collected some when I leveled my healer so by the 4th run of Shisui I had the full set except weapon cause the chest never dropped it. I was not given a weapon at the end when boss was killed.

This same scenario also happened for BLM which shared all the gear from RDM and I kept it all from leveling RDM. Full set from all leveling dungeons except Abania.

Never got a weapon from Shisui, Bardam, or Doma even though I already had full set immediately upon starting to use those dungeons to level. That's running each one of those 5 times each at least wearing the full set each time and never got the weapon unless it dropped from a chest. I think two out of three of those didn't ever get those weapons because the chest refused to drop it.

Explain?

Considering the friend that ran with me remembers me running the dungeon multiple times for the weapon shortly after I hit 70 RDM, linking it in dungeon after asking if I got it and confirming that it never dropped via the chest.

Explain? Simple, and the only thing I question: Either I benefited from a bug, or the weapon not dropping is a bug.

i have over 100 dungeons runs of Lv 61-69 dungeons and never gotten a weapon as a direct drop.

Hope they add it in, I really like some of the Castrum Abania weapons but I have never seen the Pally weapon drop despite having the rest of the gear, would be nice, even if it is only if you have the rest of the pieces first.

Then it was either a bug on your end, or you mis-remembered it. Regardless, weapons have never been guaranteed drops from dungeons. I leveled all three tanks to 70 before any 4.0x patch dropped, and never once did a weapon drop directly to inventory. I only ever saw the DRK 67 sword + WAR 69 axe drop from treasure chests.

Regardless though, It did surprise and confuse me why they excluded the weapons. I can only imagine it was done to keep people potentially grinding in the queues for them to help alleviate queue times. My only guess.

Back on topic, why wasn't weapons included? Or even if it's included, why is it given only after getting everything?

We level past a leveling dungeon so quickly most of us would not be getting a weapon from the guaranteed drops, and that seems counter-productive to the whole idea of the guaranteed drops.

Should the guaranteed drops always drop a weapon first? Isn't that the one single piece that would help out the most, for the vast majority of jobs in a leveling dungeon?

It seems the devs couldn't decide if they really wanted to help, so they exclude the single most important slot.

I submitted the weapon not dropping as guaranteed loot as a bug and it was accepted, for what it's worth. It especially sucks for dungeons like Castrum Abania where you're going to run it like 4-5 times tops if at all.

My only guess as to why it was not included was because weapons in this game are relatively "rare" compared to gear. You can see this in the endgame sequence apart from the basic sets like the AF coffer and ala mihgan sets. Beyond those your only sources are high tier crafting. extreme trials, weekly lockout tomestones, and raids. In HW and ARR level cap, dungeons don't drop weapons except for the very first ones. It makes crafted weapons desirable too because of the relative scarcity. Someone levelling up the first time though, shouldn't have any problems with weapons thanks to the MSQ.

I had my full Shisui Scouting gear and I could not get my blades to drop at all. I had grinded that dungeon and gained 3 levels, and I still have not came across the blades.

i300 weapons are exactly the same model and often better recolored.

Weapons have never dropped from welfare loot as far as I know and have experienced.
