Lux Weapon For Red/Sam

[Poptartzilla]

Any news on when they should drop ? Anyone has any idea? Has anyone come up what they would look like yet? Has anyone started stocking up?!

Doesn't seem like the devs have any interest in adding HW equivalents of the RDM/SAM relics. So, chance are low that they will do it.

If its anything like what they did in HW with the AST/DRK/MCH Zodiac Weapons the Lux Weapons for RDM and SAM should be ready about ... never.
Which is a shame really, especially since they reused the models for some of the other Jobs Relics as Crafted/Ultimate Weapons.

Why would they add these? There are no Zodiac weapons for jobs added in HW either.

The question should be why wouldn't they? I mean, they added Dreawyrm Weapons for them when Ultimate Bahamut was released and reused those models, why not do the same with Relics now that the Models are reused in Ultimate Ultima? They don't need to do all steps at once, they could add them slowly over time.

If they feel like adding knock off versions of old relics to whatever content then by all means. Just don't expect them to be added onto the Anima quest line. I find that highly improbable.

I don't expect them to do anthing, I'm saying thats what should have happened in the first place. Its a criticizm, not an expectation.

I think it's because, well, why not just release the model somewhere else? In this paticular case, Lux is now outdated content. And the reason other outdated content does get weapons is because they're much easier to get, letting them be upgrades. Nobody is going to do the RDM/SAM lux to upgrade, which is what a lot of people did them for in HW.

Well MCH can't have a Zodiac Brave weapon because it's a new Job we're helping create as we go through it, so there's that.

While the job may be new, the Weapontype isn't. Otherwise, by that logic, all those 'antique' allagan/belah'dian/*insertancientcivilizationher* weapons shouldn't exist either. :P

I'm aware, and this is the only reason why I begrudgingly accept them not providing older relics for newer Jobs.
That said, It's still kind of a shame. I mean, let's say somebody is new to the game, freshly unlocks RDM, planning to main it. They now want to go do the HW-Relicquests for the first time, but, lo and behold, don't get to do so on their Main, 'cuz reasons'. I get that these weapons are not endgame anymore, but it'd still be a nice gesture to those who do the quests for the first time.
