Here what I found regarding this topic
Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XIII Q&A Summary
1:51:39
Q: Please implement a building such as a library where we can learn more details about the lore.
A: Maehiro: This is also something for which we've received numerous requests. The Lore Team has some plans drawn up for something similar, but as we're prioritizing patch releases, they're a bit behind on this. There's a ton of lore that is yet untold in Eorzea, and I think we need to go deeper into each aspect gradually, so I’d like to look into this. More than a library, I would like to make it so you can obtain literature from different situations or record parts from dialogue with NPCs, so I’m thinking a lore version of the quest journal would be more appropriate.

Yoshida: A plan for a weapons and armor compendium has come my way. The plan is to allow you to read about the origins of each weapon and armor after you have completed the series, and we would like to implement this as well.

Letter From the Producer LIVE Part XVI Q&A Summary

Q: Is there any update on the weapon and armor log?
A: We've currently finished off a lot of the details, but we have to plans for implementation, we've been estimating the amount of work for each. The first idea would simply have players building a collection of weapons and armor, while the second idea would allow players to read the lore surrounding the gear they obtain. However, this data will affect the player data used in real time, so we are carefully investigating this at the moment. Next week we will reach a conclusion and proceed for actual implementation, but if we decide to go with the first idea it will be implemented in patch 2.4. In the case we decide on the second option, it will be implemented a bit further in the future. In any event, we've progressed quite a bit on this and we will have our verdict soon enough.

It has been a while since Live Letter XVI, and 2.4 has come so it seems like they're going with the second option, so how long is "a bit further in the future"?


I've personally been saving 1 of each "Green" or better weapon/armor I can get for completions sake and for possible glamours, but with only 2 retainers it is getting out of hand. A book for glamours would be nice as talked about in that other thread, but even just a "completion checklist" would make me happy. Maybe different achievement rewards depending on what percentages you reach within a weapon / armor category.

Agree, I want information on this one as well. I'm a collector and have been farming for all greens/blues in-game (in crescent order, currently farming the ilvl60 ones and my three retainers are nearly full). I totally wish this to be implemented soon, possibly with an Armoury Chest expansion too? Damn them 25 slots...

I agree. I need more armour space :<

If I understand it right, it isn't another weapon storage.
It is either for lore (the story of the weapon get unlocked in the log once you have the weapon) or for statistic (you found 135 from 460 weapons)

I'd be ok with either of those. I would just like to hear what's going on with it since the last time it was addressed was almost 4 months ago, which is a pretty long time.

I'm looking forward to this! Please implement by 2.5 so all the 2.x gear can be covered by it!

That's cool and all, but I care less about the lore of weapons and more about "collecting" and having them. More so if they actually implement glamour functions as part of the log so you don't have to keep every item you might want to glamour.
