    Suggestion for SCH/SMN weapons in Gold Saucer

    Being a Scholar myself, it was disappointing to see that there wasn't a SCH weapon available for purchase with MGP. I was thinking of some ideas of how to make the weapon interesting and if we're going with a joke-type weapon, I thought it would be cool if we could have a pop-up book for SCH/SMN, heh. It wouldn't have to be three dimensional or anything like that, but it would be pretty neat to open the book and see something pop out.

    I think the mog books fill this criteria nicely .

    Still, we should have at least a GS weapon for Scholars and Summoners too. I was also a little disappointed at the lack of those weapons. =(

    How about instead since it's a gambler related theme, how about books that have the look of Triple Triad cards? Or maybe deck of cards look? (I have no idea what I'm trying to describe but I can picture it in my head. XD)

    I feel I should point out none of the weapons added to the GS are "new" weapons, they're simply weapons that have up til now, been NPC-only gear.

    I suppose one obvious suggestion then for SCH/SMN would be to add Alphinaud's/Alisae's tomes (Visible here, that strange device hanging over their butt, it's actually a caster tome, as seen in at least one of the coil cut scenes)

    Speaking of which I'd really really love to see the levemete sleeve added too.

    Even so, I feel like Summoners and Scholars are left out on getting weapons from GS too. Even if they are weapons that belonged to NPCs before, at least just something for our classes too. You know? =)

    PS: That's a good idea though Ryuujin. =D

    I for one would love to have a grimoire like the monster book from the Harry Potter Series

    I don't recognize all the GS weapons, but I believe most of them are from enemies you fought on job quests? So I looked at what grimoire the bad guy had in the SMN job quest cutscenes and it looks almost identical to the book from Ifrit HM. So that's why I imagine they didn't want to reuse it in GS for glamour. And if they did, most people who wanted that look would rather just get it from Ifrit HM and glamour it at the cost of 0 MGP.

    I'm more sad about the fact that the enhanced primal weapons that came out last year were so resource intensive to craft that almost no one could afford them and on some servers, there are certain ones that don't even exist in sales history on the MB... others exist but they sold for like 7-10 mil months ago. That's a bigger missed opportunity in my opinion, but the damage is done and there's no going back now since updating the crafting recipes to make them a bit more reasonable (which they most definitely aren't, based on the number crafted & sold relative to the interest that existed in them prior to and at their release) would be unfair to those who spent that outlandish amount of Gil/resources.
