It really sucks for BLMs that their Allagan weapon absolutely needs the shield to be equal to the Relic +1 and it might not even drop from Coil, another quality design decision from the team, sucks even more when blind fans just tell you to deal with it.
    Ty for your excellent input. It is very nice to see some support from other unaffected players.

    I also do have a request from everyone to help us get some serious attention to the matter by liking the question I posted for the next live letter.

    I'm really hoping we don't once again get ignored.

    Maybe instead of asking a dev, are there any legacy players that managed to clear Coil in its form during 1.0 (if it existed)?

    Because, if that shield existed back then, there may be no guarantee that it's coming out until they put more bosses into Coil past Twintania. Also, that might explain why it's in the database but not found yet in game.

    I'm pretty sure the devs are not going to reply to this as telling us where something drops in the game might be considered a "hint".

    That aside, it's kind of a puzzle. I'm sure someone will discover a answer as more content is added to the game.

    Coil was introduced in ARR and didn't exist back then, those shields weren't in game either. There are a couple of items that were obtainable back then but now are missing though, no idea when or where they'll make them available to new players, items like the Explorer's Callot and Mage accessories off the top of my head, only players who obtained them in 1.0 can currently have them and they weren't on the list of "to be removed" items that was posted back then.

    My FC has two scepters now and neither of them use it because it's weaker than +1 relic. Pretty cool that the hardest content in the game right now gives you a reward that's weaker than what you get for logging in once a week for 3 weeks.

    Can it be...

    ...can it be a CT drop? It is so obvious now. Labyrinth of the Ancients, Ancient buckler. Finally, a reason for end game players to do CT?

    To the OP: If its a RANDOM drop, then it's 100% possible that it just hasn't RANDOMLY come up yet.

    Just because it's random doesn't change the fact that it's statistically unlikely.

    So for a long time everyone assumed that it dropped in T5 of the binding coil, even now this is still a possibility but unlikely.
    Also thanks for reading literally the 3rd sentence of the op.

    Just conjecture, but a highly possible one, in the video released today the CT mentioned something about the Ancients.....considering the shield has the same term in the title, it could very well be from CT. Still...the notion of an ilvl item of 90 being dropped from the CT goes against what was previously announced, but still...at least the name of the item coincides with the new dungeon. It could be a rare drop....we will know soon enough.

    **edit** I didn't see someone had already mentioned this.. lol. woops!

    The problem is not Ancient Buckler, never was never will be. It does not matter if it is a drop from CT or not, really it does not. I have said this many times, the problem is Coil BLM drops, pure and simple. You guys keep forgetting Twintania weapons are going to be ilvl95, so ilvl 70, 80 and 90 (if the tank shield get upgraded to 95 also) are not going to cut it. The reward have to be from Coil and it have to be equal to what every other job are getting, not a single main stat point less or more.

    It is like saying every job deserve equal drop except BLM, they are less than everyone else and they should re-role SMN, at least they don't get a book with the pages torn off.

    Wouldn't PLD also be getting the short end of the Stick if our shield is not upgraded cause it wouldnt scale as well as all the other jobs?

    (ie. our stats being split between the shield and sword?)
