Maybe you all can rationalize this...

Weekly lockout on i270 gear is lifted, sure, but Alexandrian Gear needed for i260 Weapons is still weekly? 7 weeks for an i260? Sure sure. Im NOT complaining! Just disappointed that thats one less reason to login. And im running out of em.

The point is to get you to run the new diadem for the i265 gear and i280 weapon. It doesn't have anything but the gear going for it, so they gotta keep the casual stuff locked for now to push you in.

Pretty much this. I'm sure either this month or the month after all of the lockouts will be released, hell they could end up increasing the weapon drops from diadem also. I mean we'll all stop running it by that point so may as well just keep giving stuff away haha.

Unless you're hunting or getting upgrades from doing Savage, your options are capped. IJS, it's something to point out.

If you're running out of reasons to log in, take a break. Now's the perfect time and in 2 months and some change you'll have Stormblood.

People were complaining about relic being not worth it since it's only relevant for a miniscule amount of time and how you could just get a weapon when they make the dip available, well here you go.

Still no dip for weekly upgrade. So your options are:
PoTD i255
Alexander Savage A10s microtome i260 (7gear bypass)
Zurvan i265 (probably one of the reasons why the dip is still not available)
Alexander Savage A11s dip for i270 tome or A12s i275
Relic i275
Diadem i280 (not really)
