What should the new Ex Primal drop?

[WinterLuna]

Weapons and Mounts and Armor and Jewelry and Cards and Minions and Peanuts and Skateboards and iTunes Gift Cards...

(Mounts is my real answer)

Definitely iTunes gift cards.

I'd like to see a possible mount (to keep people busy once it's no longer relevant) and maybe some accessories. Weapons would be nice too.

Something useful that isn't obsolete instantly or in the near future.

Give us armor for once, with interesting stats. A little horizontal progression.

If they're going to make the drops get outdated on release, it might as well be a glamour piece (especially since they're allowing multi-slot glamouring).If they're kept relevant, can't go wrong with weapon or right side.

i210 accessories (preferably rings). Make them i200 to start but upgradeable if they need to, but please, make sure it stays relevant.

Upgrading would be cool. Maybe the rings could be exclusive to drops on the primal, and instead of being able to buy a specific ring with tokens you can buy an upgrade item. That would also let you get 2 rings per job, one upgraded and one regular.

A ring would be the most logical. Could be i200 at first, then upgraded to i210 in a subsequent patch (3.15), or just i210 from the start. Can't see a weapon being added, since I imagine the relic will be available as the alternative i200 weapon to go for.

The relic weapon will likely be either i205 or i210, no one's going to farm their ass off for a weapon that's on par with what they already have.

An i200 ring with better stat allocation than the Eso Slaying ring. That thing is... yuck.

That was essentially how Shiva EX was set up (though I think the upgrade item came later), and it worked well enough. They still seem to be struggling to find a good reward structure for the EX primals. They've been different for every tier really. I still think the 2.1 set were the best designed in that regard (even without the Primal Focus weapons, at least the accessories weren't going to be obsoleted).

I'm hoping they can hit upon a structure that works (though I've never really understood why they deviated from the model in 2.1, generally).

If it isn't i200 then i205 will be best bet, but not i210. The relic has only ever been on par with the current raid weapons whenever we were close to a new patch that would out-date said weapon. So i200/i205 on launch, then upgradeable to i210 after, say, 3.18 is more likely.
