Thread: Why do only the 3 4.0 lvl 70 dungeons drop weapons?

They want you to get the uncapped tome weapons and do the normal raids to get the crystaloid and the 24mans I guess. Only takes 4 O4N kills now to get the weapon tome. Delta Normal is only i295 to enter. Going up through the expert dungeon progression and getting some of the newer dungeon gear (325) once you reach it will easily get you into it and Rabanastre (i305 to enter).

Weapon drops from dungeons would be nice for the purpose of desynth, that’s for sure...unless they are like the 310 weapons where CRP desynth gets hosed since all their “normal” desynths (WHM and DRG) belong to GSM...but that’s a whole different story.

As for actual upgrades for a job and/or newly dinged 70s, there’s a path to weapons in place, albeit more convoluted...but not RNG prone:

- 290 from job quest
- 310 from hunts; join hunt LS or just do weekly B rank plus daily hunts for a day or two
- 330 from creation + 4 O4 normal clears
- 340 from upgrading the 330 via Rabanastre coin

From there, at that point, Byakko EX should be doable ilvl wise.
