Onion Shield...

[hamsteak]

It's actually really good, better than Holy Shield Zenith I think, perhaps even Allagan Round Shield. I'm glad there is finally a shield that doesn't have the same Block Rate and Strength, we need more small shields and tower shields.

This might be the Extreme Primal weapon (where you get Break Blade + this)

If so, this will be my first. I don't even want the sword, just the shield.

judging by the quest rewards, it looks like you'll be able to get 3 weapons when finishing the quest

No, you use the three tokens for one reward. I'm hoping though the shield comes with the sword.

if this is truly the case then that's pretty weird

Getting three i90 weapons a week would be wayyyyy too much.

My question is, why 3 tokens? One for each primal? But the REWARD is 3 tokens, not a turn in requirement.

Which has me wondering if you really do get 3 tokens for turn in. Which would let us buy 3 weapons, but 3 ilvl90 weapons in one week is crazy. May as well just make it one token as a reward and turn in one token for a weapon. Making 3 tokens needed to buy one weapon seems silly.

Which makes me wonder about the token drops from then primals if any. Is it just a repeatable quest each week? Or do you get a token per primal as a turn in requirement? Or maybe if you only kill 2 primals in the one week you get 2 tokens by which you would need to kill one the next week for the 3rd to buy your weapon. I don't get the feeling the actual quest gets reset each week, only primal access. Which would meran if you are good enough to clear all 3 primals in one week you get a weapon each week. If not, you are delayed since you didn't kill all 3 in one reset period. That's my theory anyway.

Oh no... Looking at that quest line and prerequisites, I get the impression that you have to beat Turn 5 before you can do Extreme Primals. Did I just miss that being mentioned earlier? I haven't been coiling hard enough...
EDIT: Nevermind, I got confused by the branching quests. Phew!

No weirder than Mists. You have to buy three per relic, except for PLD, which needs two for Curtana and one for the Holy Shield.

oh yeah i forgot about the mists thing, yeah it may just be 2 for each weapon besides the shield

[Sylkis]

Do you think the shield is from the extreme primals or Crystal Tower though?

It's hard to tell.. but if it doesn't come from the extreme primals then I can't see a single PLD wanting to do extreme primals just for Break Blade.

I think Break Blade will be a better offtank sword (especially turn 5), and also for those who haven't bought +1 relic

Highly doubt it, I think it will be turn 1-4 kind of difficulty. The only requirement to enter is hard primals and average IL70.
Besides, turn 5 drops IL95 weapons.

Yeah, good points. Anyway, looking closer, the one that requires Turn 5 of Coil is simply the ending of Alisae's story. The Extreme quest line already branched off beforehand.
