    I'm not saying they should do this or that I even want this. Just wonder how much dev time it would take them to do this, or if it would save time in the future by having them one item instead of 2.
    In the case of nin and mnk, both pieces are weapons so it's easy to class them as one item. In the case of pld however, the sword is a weapon and the shield is armour. They're not the same item type. The acquisition of shields is the same as weapons, but how they act stat-wise is really not.

    I don't know how much dev time it would take. But it likely would be a pain to do because they would have to change how weapon stats work to roll swords and shields into the one item.

    You could simply change the Block formulas to scale with the ilvl of your Sword/Shield, since Block Rate and Block Strenght are completely related to ilvl.

    Y: I usually compare FFXIV with a theme park, but the Forbidden Land of Eureka won’t be a place where everyone would want to go. For example, there are people who don’t want to go to horror houses because they don’t see the point in getting scared on purpose. For example, on a date, the boyfriend might want to invite the girlfriend to go the horror house, but the girlfriend just doesn’t seem to find it fun. In other words, it’s not like everyone wants to go to the horror house, but there are people who just love the adrenalin rush they get from it. Think of Eureka as something like that.
