What should the new Ex Primal drop?

[Alahra]

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.

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).

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.

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.

This is probably correct, yes. I'm assuming we'll be customizing stats for the very first stage this time, resulting in a weapon that's probably i205. They might go for an all around longer quest chain, though, time gated in some fashion perhaps, that would culminate in an i210 weapon around 3.18 without an extra stage. They've had more time to plan the relic this time, so things might be less disjointed. We'll see in a few weeks!

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

[WoooBlaaa]

Item level 190 weapon of course. It must be obsolete the moment it's released.

[Canadane]

Left side glamour would be cool.

[StrejdaTom]

Considering that all gear is almost obsolete the moment it is released, I would love to see mount, minion + weapon or armor glamours.

I hope they drop more content.
