So with eso reset

I'm in a progression raid group, so I kinda have to get my weapon. As much as I want to get my SMN AF2, I have to wait for a bit T_T

Getting the weapon first, as it should be. Being a PLD at least the cost of my weapon is split with the shield, so i can get my sword this week then the shield next week.

Ah yes I forget that the amount is split for plds, so some plds will be running around with weapons this week ...

Yeah the amount add up to 990 total across the sword and shield, so you and me we can get our Hauteclaire this week.

Something i appreciated a good bit about the Dungeons was that the PLD Shields will always drop when the Sword does.
IIRC, the Expanse/Hive weapon and shield comes as a set too doesn't it? Kind of weird they went back to the old separation of Sword/Shield. I feel like it worked much better when you got both halves of your weapon at the same time.

I only cleared Bismarck EX once for the sake of clear so i cannot confirm myself if both drop together. One thing now though is when you upgrade your weapon/shield (say Law sword/shield) you need both to upgrade them to i180, instead of requiring separate items for each. This also apply to hauteclaire and whatever the shield is called, you need to own both and you need a single item to upgrade them both at the same time, i like that.

No, it does not. It's a big pile of poop imo. No other class gets half their damn weapon. -.-

I got my Hive Shamshir but finally ended up buying my shield.

@OP - I'm torn between my body piece and my weapon. The weapon would only be a single step up (hive > esoterics) while the body piece would be two steps up because I'm still using the Law body.
