Has their been any confirmation that Ifrit EX, Garuda EX & Moogle EX will be dropping i95 weapons?
The following items are in the new items list which kinda gives us a clue...

Thunderstrike Gladiator's Arm Item Level: 100 / Equipment Level: 50
Inferno Blade Gladiator's Arm Item Level: 95 / Equipment Level: 50
Gaze of the Vortex Gladiator's Arm Item Level: 95 / Equipment Level: 50
Morbid Moggle Mogblade Gladiator's Arm Item Level: 95 / Equipment Level: 50

There's a set of these for each class - it kinda makes sense considering the current jewellery drops from the EX primals are pretty much useless now.

Those are the augmented Primal Weps. You get those demimateria items from desynthing a wep it would seem and you can then use it to augment another wep to i95 (they're the glowy ones). Those are GLD's weps btw so the augmented Titan shield is farther down the item list.

Ah thanks ^^ Have to admit I got quite excited when I saw them in the list, but the desynthing thing also makes sense

Regarding the tome rewards are they essentially nerfing the instance completion reward and spreading the lost Soldiery tomes out as boss rewards?

I think it's more likely they're just spreading the myth across all three bosses. The nerf is to coincide with moving them to the HM roulette.

They Nerf'd the Soldiery Rewards from the Old HM Dungeons since Hull-Breaker and the two new HMs are out.

Let me get this straight. There's only one special chest that drops from the final boss in syrcus tower that has a 30% chance of spawning. And then 24 people will lot on it? That is a whopping 1.25% chance of obtaining whatever is in there (assuming unidentified allagan tombstone). That is insane considering the dungeon takes at least 30 minutes each time. On average, a player would have to do 100 CT runs to get just an unidentified allagan tombstone? It doesn't seem right. Just like how ridiculous the drop rate for mirrors are considering i100 weapons are almost too common now.

If it's consistent with LotA then that 4th chest is the crafting item to make Xande's Throne. That chest is exempt from the loot lockout. They wouldn't put the UAT in THAT...

[Alukah]

That BLM buff is ridiculous, I'm all up for a DPS increase but they left AoE intact and (as a side effect) boosted burst damage, so now BLM is top tier burst, top tier aoe and nearly top tier sustained damage.

Your contempt at your own conjecture is amusing.
Maybe they should just give it to everyone upon entry and we can act like SCoB never existed.
They add a chance for a high level upgrade and you act like it should be automatic for everyone to receive.
