So the solution to criterion savage rewards is... +5 ilvl to your weapon?
is that some kind of sick joke?

Yeah that one puzzled me a bit but maybe good for gearing alt jobs?

It's entirely useless for gearing alt jobs. It requires said job to already have a 660 Tomestone weapon, unless this patch has changed it you can only get the weapon upgrade item from P11S. This means you not only already need to have a tomestone weapon on that alt job but also be able to clear savage to a point where you might as well just finish it and get a savage weapon.

Yeah that was my thinking. I guess the glam is apparently pretty nice. If it were in Criterion instead of the Savage version, then it could be useful because like you said, you have to clear 11s just to get the item to do the first upgrade. But someone doing the Savage version of Criterion probably already has cleared 12s.
