    So wait I csnt even upgrade my weapon til 4.2

    I'm at a loss why can u only upgrade gear with the 24 man. This is my first real expansion cycle so I'm a bit shocked. What good would a 340 weapon be in 4.2. I just don't understand. I had been waiting on this upgrade to seriously try to prog v3s. I don't get this logic at all a 340 weapon in 4.2 would be totally pointless.

    It's always been like that, where they open up tome gear upgrades, but keep weapons locked behind raiding. It's to keep some prestige within raiding and give you more motivation to do it.

    With this character's death, the thread of prophecy remains intact.

    You can upgrade with the raid as well, which has been out since 4.0

    Shinryu EX drops 335 if no raid drop, might be better than the 330 depending on secondaries. They'll allow the weapon upgrade when everyone is bored wiping/farming him the soonest has been in a month. Sometimes they don't even bother adding it until the next tier.

    Well then, just so you know, O3S was designed to be clearable without the items it drops, so you don't need i340 to obtain the upgrade item for i340.

    You don't need an i340 weapon to beat it since the reward for that fight is the upgrade item to MAKE it 340. It's perfectly beatable with an i330 or even 320 if you know what you're doing.

    We'll be able to eventually, they always add a weapon upgrade item to the 24 mans at some point. Probably gonna happen sometime within the current patch, aka 4.1x...at the latest 4.2.

    I’d like to chime in here…for the purposes of the information I see here, you can clear it with a 330 weapon or even a 320. I went in as AST with my 320 weapon with a clear party and we did it just fine. If you’re going in on WHM, it won’t matter if you have 320 or 345…it is still a very healer intensive fight for us with all the mechanics going out at once. You just have to make sure to essentially use all of your cooldowns as appropriate…with O3S, the mechanics are going to wipe a party more often than a lack of heals.
