Thanks Baron, Mayonn.

Well I guess someone's seen them drop, so possibly "working as intended"? Like Baron, I've gone to Levi EX so many times after patch and have never seen the Tidal Wave version of the shields drop, nor a Mirror or Mount of course. But plenty of the standard "Wave" Shields drop for both PLD and WHM.

Just seems like a weak implementation of a way to supposedly alleviate the problem of PLD and WHM needing 2 Mirrors to upgrade their weapon set.
