Are you are this isn't just a misinterpretation? Yoshi states "you can't glamour weapons from other jobs", so I'm guessing in relation to the ARR wands used by CNJ/THM, but this doesn't mean that BLU won't have their own glam options. It might have some to begin with even basic designs, but possibly nothing fancy (i.e. primal weapons) till next expac. At least that's my theory going off from this quote anyway

The quote from Yoshi P said that IF they do add new weapons to BLU. This is implying that there is just the standard cane that everyone will start off and that's it for the time being.

Limited job or not, I really can't see BLU being forced to use a lvl 1 weapon once it reaches lvl 50, I would expect to see some kind of AF option as well.

Do you have any quote were he says specifically it will be the only weapon available to begin with? Things often get mistranslated, this is why I would prefer something concrete you know.

Go back to the previous page. BubblyBoar posted that bit that Yoshi P apparently said.

BLU could use a lvl 1 weapon the whole time because they changed the way that damage/healing calculations work for BLU. There probably is an AF weapon but would just be a glamour piece if that quote is accurate.

Still like you just said it kinda implies what I was suggesting to begin with, that there could be an alternative option of weapon (not necessarily for stat purposes) to use for glamour.

Yep I understand that but then we have to wonder why Yoshi gave that answer to a question about changing how the BLU cane looks so it's a bit confusing right now.

It's probably tied into whatever system that prevents us from not having a main hand weapon/tool equipped in the first place. No matter what, something must absolutely be equipped in the main hand.
As far as there not being any weapons...
The Reddit translators say that Yoshi-P said there's no point in upgrading weapons, since you can't do instanced content... Somehow, the Reddit translators also took this as a hint that there will be Primal/Raid weapons? However, this same random logic for the weapon has no reason not to apply to armor and accessories as well, so I don't really understand it. Also, we CAN do instanced content, and are even encouraged to based on a spell that said it was only acquired from Brayflox Longstop (Hard) - You just can't matchmake into it.

The reason for disabling matchmaking for BLU boggles my mind. It's built to be a "solo" class, meaning for Lv.50 content, a single Lv.50 BLU is intended to solo that content.
1st - This provides no actual advantage, as currently, any Lv.70 Paladin could do this anyways (Barring Titan Ex. And not all inclusive of other Unlimited Jobs). This will be made further pointless with Lv.80 cap increase.
2nd - You can only acquire BLU after having already slogged through 2.0 all the way with an Unlimited Job. You can't have it to make that progress anyways
3rd - The content relavent to BLU is actually pretty much irrelavent to the rest of the player base. So what if a BLU takes a role slot in matchmaking and "overpowers" the queue? It's garbage content anyways at that point. He would probably be matched with Lv.80 i530 players anyways, who would be thankful that the BLU can speed things along. (Yes, I know the "whether skills have been unlocked" contestion can be made. See many previous suggestions about having a requirements list to access a queue, it's pretty much a no brainer suggestion).

Our attack power doesn't come from weapon damage, but the stats from our armor and accessories. They went over that in the live letter. The weapon literally has no purpose aside from the look, so they don't really need to add anything other than the starting cane because all classes must have a main hand.
