Preliminary notes live

[KamikazeMan]

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.

My guess is that there weapons will be obtained by combining materials gained from de-synthesizing primal weapons and HM primal weapons. Maybe via the NPC in Mor Dhona or Gerolt.

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

Does that mean "Unlike regular relic armor, augmented artifact armor can be dyed any color of your choice." AF can be augmented as well? Because that statement indicated that only augmented items can be dyed.

That's pretty much it.
They couldn't just slap on the 'dyable' switch... for whatever reason they needed a new item to be dyeable to be the AF.

They slapped on the dyable switch for Darklight so it seems like SE just doing it a roundabout way as a means to add a lil bit of content.

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.

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.

That's about 50 hours of CT assuming no wipes and each run only takes 30 minutes just for a UAT. I downed T7 after like 5 hours of trying so there's a huge discrepancy in the time spent/reward ratio there.

But not everyone can down T7, while almost everyone will be able to clear ST.

This is just an alternative, SCoB remains as the main way to get those special items.
