A petition for more GLD/PLD weapon variants!

[Enkidoh]

I still have one dagger on GLA/PLD that was an old 1.0 weapon (Dated Brass Dagger) that I sometimes still glamour for lulz. Dated gear unfortunately is not available however, and only 1.0 players have them, so I fully agree it would be nice to have at least a few single-handed knives or daggers still available for GLA/PLD for everyone.

There are a few unusual weapons for GLA/PLD already available too - besides Edda's scythe from Palace of the Dead (great scythe like RPR's weapon), Lightning's Blazefire Sabre gunblade from FFXIII (gunblade like those used by GNB, albeit the blade folds out and it doesn't shoot), and at least one great katana (like SAM), there's also the early game Mesoamerican macuahuitl blades from level 1-50 (which look like a long wooden paddle with obsidian teeth protuding around the edge), along with several pickaxes (see below), so there is some variety there.

And to say nothing of the Imperial Magitek Sword and it's later crafted copy, the Chondite Magitek Sword, which is actually a literal chainsaw.

Either way, there already is variety in them blades, you just need to look for it.

we have two hammers and no pickaxes.

Actually, we have several pickaxes: the level 1 glamour Hellhound War Pick from Wolves' Den, and the level 78 Dwarven Mythril Pikenstock that is crafted or bought from a NPC vendor. Unless that's what you're thinking of as 'hammers' (they definetely look like pickaxes to me and not 'hammers', the latter which has a blunt edge not the sharp points of the former (shrugs)).
