relics and weathered weapons

[Crater]

It's extremely unlikely that the i95 Leviathan weapons come from Leviathan Hard Mode. They said in the Live Letter that you get drops from Leviathan EX, and then combine them with something else. It's much more likely that the i95 weapons drop from Leviathan EX, and then get upgraded to the i100 version once you combine them with something else (possibly the 'Rowena's Token (Soldiery)' that the patch notes mention, but that's just a guess).

Would be a little shitty if the upgraded relic only reaches ilv100, whereas the "mythic" one is ivl110.

And there's only new achievement for relic animus so it does seem like it's the final form for 2.2 atm.

hmm......

[saber_alter]

what i think it is going to be:
relic>>>relic atma/animus>>>relic ugrade 2.25>>>relic upgrade 2.3
weathered masterwork>>>>completed masterwork
levi HM weapon >>> levi extreme weapon
high allagan weapon

So.... Leviathan HM is the new farm spot since it drops i95 weapons. Hmmm I bet a lot of Twintania farmers must be raging.

doubt it. coil weapons look cool.
also they get to be the first to get their hands on the high allagan sets.

Why would a Hard Mode primal drop an i95 weapon when the current extremes drop i90? That would mean that leviathan hard mode, a story mission, would be as hard as t5 or at the very least be harder than the current extremes. I doubt levi hm is as hard as t5 or current extremes. It makes more sense for levi ex to drop i95, giving you alternative to t5 weap, and then require some item or collection of items to upgrade it to 100.

Not to mention that all of a sudden youd be giving newer players going through story an i95 weapon b4 they even touch an extreme or 1st tier of coil. Just makes no sense.

This makes more sense considering 2.2 is about upgrading items by using stuffs.

as hard as those as of patch with echo buff

-snippy-

because right now an i95 weapon is comparable to a moogle weapon in terms of endgame content.

It makes no sense for extreme primals to be harder than hard modes but have a hard mode give out a weapon higher than the extremes and the same tier as a t5.

I doubt Yoshi and the dev team would make t5 the equivalent of leviathan hard mode on the first patch they introduce a new tier of coil>_>. If they did that then what would be the point of waiting to give echo buff in coil? You''d already be giving every one(since its a story mission and doesn't require you completing a relic reborn) a free near-instant dmg buff to coil and extremes with i95 weapons from an easier battle.

Yoshi said levi ex can be completed in i90, so giving you an easier i95 b4 hand from something that is 20 ilvl below is like....huh? why? what sense does that make?

If it actually turned out like that I'd be extremely disappointed. from titan hm = 80 to levi hm = i95 while 3 extremes give i90 and 1 give i100 off the bat. Oh and you have to beat ifrit b4 u can try levi ex. So they gonna give you an i95 for that from story b4 u can get i90 from defeating the 3 previous extremes....something aint right there. lol

Yoshi already said that Leviathan won't drop the i100 weapons directly and it will work differently to current primals. I'll just wait and see how it actually works tomorrow. If I had to guess Leviathan EM will drop i95 and then there will be some way to upgrade them to i100.

The weathered to regular is probably some other thing like the EX weapons.

Every role has also armor called Weathered at i100 and its non-weathered equivalent at i110. And its not from Coil. Coil is all called High Allagan (weapons i115, armor i110).
