Soldiery/Poetics weapons for new classes?

[Azper]

As the title suggests, has there been any word on whether they will get their own versions of these weapons? Curious how to budget my tomes going into the expansion.

There will be new tomes to use. Spend what you have.

Haven't read anything official regarding this, but I'm 99% sure there will be claymores/rifles/star globes obtainable through current tomestones. It would be odd to bother making level 70 weapons drop from Ifrit/Titan/Garuda Hard Mode, but not allow us to purchase ilvl l120 ones through tomestones.

(Also, they added the Air Knives to the list of weapons obtainable from the weekly Primal Quest when Ninja was released, although the item level was already kinda irrelevant, so...)

[Omegakiyohime]

Well, the benchmark showed off the high allagan gun and primal weapons are confirmed so I don't think it is unlikely that they will add soldiery/poetics weapons. As to whether or not they will still be around, Idk to be honest. They usually change it up before the patches, but there are still going to be people within the 2.xx series and people that won't have Heavensward so I'm really not sure what they will end up doing with them since the new tomestone will probably be focused on lvl 60ish gear.

[Saccharin]

I doubt it since the level cap will be level 60 so there's no point in making old end game gear. 50-60 will have new quest weapons I suspect.

I'm saving up poetics and tomestone/twine for ironwork greatsword, so I'm really hoping they do include one. I don't see why they wouldn't. I also have a full set of antique gear, that is a little more questionable but I hope they have lvl 90 set for dark knight too.

The new jobs start at level 30 so they gonna need a whole bunch of weapons from 30-60.

[Evergrey]

If I recall they will convert the current Tomes into a new one for Heavensward, like they have done before with older tomes. Can't find the source I read it so don't take my word for it, but keep it in mind that it might happen.

[HakuroDK]

It would make sense to make new weapons for the new jobs as the new jobs start at 30.

I should hope there's at least Ironworks Magitek weapons for DRK/AST/MCH, along with primal weapons.
