Will Darklight gear be obtainable in A Realm Reborn?

[Kagato]

Since it's been confirmed that Primal Weapons will be available, I am now curious as if Darklight will also be available.

[Punainen]

I hope so, as I would like to obtain some, but did not wish to do a bazillion speed runs.

[Kasathar]

Same here, I'm not hard core anymore and seeing people who pretty much live in Eorzea reap all the goodies kind of makes me feel like my effort is worthless.

[Ryans]

If the level cap is going to stay the same for more than six months after the release, I'd say all the end-game gear should still be obtainable simply because it will continue to be some of the best gear for the level. However, if the level cap is going to increase within the first few months of release, the gear shouldn't drop anymore because it will be outdated soon enough and will be more of vanity items of people who played before ARR.

Unlikely

"F: level Cap release?
Y: in 2.0 we will keep it at 50 for start and we can’t promise the timing yet but we will make sure to do this later on. Also the battle system is completely different so although you’re 50 you have to relearn the battle."

I hope that they keep at least some of the current endgame gear exclusive to 1.0. I was actually kinda let down when I heard that primal weps are still going to drop.

[Reika]

Darklight gear may still be there, but they said speed runs will only be for achievements, so it will be obtained some other way.

[Shougun]

Darklight gear may still be there, but they said speed runs will only be for achievements, so it will be obtained some other way.

Just like primal weapons are confirmed to be staying, but we know why the primals are fought will not be exactly for the same reasons as it is now in 1.0.

[Zezlar]

It's not like Darkhold, AV, or Cutter's is going anywhere. So it's safe to assume you can get Darklight in 2.0

Going to be useless gear shortly after anyways though.

[Felis]

Why shouldn't it? AV and CC are still in ARR.
