Thread: Patch 3.38, 8/23

In 3.0, the eso weapon didn't even have a 7 week lock out...it just took 1000 esoterics. That's it.

What is so wrong with it only taking 1000 lore? Especially when it will be outdated in a month?

There is no argument...the reason they had a cap(I believe) was so the only 230 at the time would be the relic since it only takes 1-3 weeks for that step to make people want it & work towards the anima or something, like a "you worked WAY too hard on the 210 step so for the first 7 weeks of 3.2 you can have a 230 before everyone else" consolation. It serves no purpose now.

The i230 relic step was added in 3.25, 5 weeks after the release of 3.2. Raiders who were able to clear A6S were already able to obtain the i230 tomestone weapon before then, while others were 2 weeks away from getting enough A8 tokens for it.
It's more likely that they did this so raiders could get some of their tomestone weapons before the rest, while the Sephirot weapons remained as meaningful rewards for at least 5-6 weeks.

Not really sure how you think an upgraded lore weapon is better than a weapon with customizable stats.
For example, comparing the i240 NIN lore daggers with the i240 relic ones:

Augmented Torrent Kris: 120 Crit, 104 Det (Includes 2x Det V melds)
Spurs of the Thorn Prince: 120 Crit, 115 Det

While the upgraded lore weapons will obviously be easier to obtain in 3.38, they're still not better than the relic ones.

OH GOD YES PLEASE

I'm working on my second Anima rn and I'm NATURALLY at the 210 step (with 48/80) so that'll help me a LOT... Not to mention the lore weapon thing, I've had higher ilevel weapons on my alt jobs than on my main because the lore drg is just that good...

Yes there is news of a LL for some time now, On August 26th @ 9pm PDT

Well, looks like I'll be holding on to my last three sets of Unidentified Items (12/12/9) and waiting until next week before, possibly, resuming the grind.

The first week of October would be the absolute latest. It has to drop before Fan Fest as we need the first part of the story that leads to the next expansion before it gets formally announced.
