Weapon drops will need to be adjusted for new jobs/classes

Or when we have twice as many available classes, they could just add a 2nd box

I support OP

As long as grand company weapons still exist, I am not worried. Primal weapons are more a luxury when you have a GC weapon.

Honestly, if you have problems waiting for a particular weapon drop to come, I think you may be not enjoying the whole 'MMORPG' thing. It's kind of how it's worked for hundreds of years, and usually, with weekly lockouts, or waiting for a world boss to spawn again.

That cool, because the vast majority of those items are armor, not weapons, and as such will be viable on any new class/jobs they add unless they suddenly add new stats. There's no need to add chests in coil even if they add new jobs.

Is that so?

Greetings,

Compared to the primal drop system from 1.0, with the current game you are guaranteed a drop when defeating a primal. The difficulty has also been adjusted with this in mind. Based on this concept, we decided to eliminate the totem exchange system and we do not have any plans to allow exchanges in the future.

As we do not have any plans to use totems or other exchangeable items from primals moving forward, we encourage you to exchange them for Allagan tomestones of philosophy.

We appreciate your feedback for when new jobs are introduced and subsequently if more weapons are added as rewards for primal battles. We do not have information we can share on this at the moment but we'll be sure to keep your concerns in mind when planning ahead.

We can trade weapons for tomestones? Is that a new feature coming, or did I miss something?

I'm quite impressed that the reps have basically perfected the art of saying "we've listened to what you've said, we know what you want, but we really don't care and aren't changing anything for your ease of use, but for our ease of use." in a very polite way too!

0.0666666 just looks bad

Displayed as 6.6% seems reasonably fair to me.

This game is all about rng, I would say even more so that WoW. More class the higher the chance something drops that no one needs.

Yet, you can go from a GC weapon to a Relic in 1 day if you're persistent enough, and with a skilled enough FC. Primal Weapons, in my opinion, are just "optional" weapons that you don't need. They're there just to fill the gap between towards your Relic.

Okipuit's use of the word "them" may unclear especially for players who didn't play 1.x. What is being referred to is not the weapons themselves but the "token" items you could get in 1.x to trade in for primal weapons. These items transferred into ARR but could not be redeemed for primal weapons and can't be obtained any longer. If you check at Rowena's camp in RT you'll see the ability to trade them in for some tomestones (like Kupo Nuts and Inferno Totems).

Yeah, pretty much. I got my alt character to 50 last week and got relic quest done in one day. Beat/survived the whole thing including Titan in AF armor and a GC weapon.
