Rod of Binding... What?

[Raikai]

These items were originally released in-game during the XIII event back in ARR, when one-handed staves were still being made/used, primarily as a carryover from 1.0 (which had both one-handed and two-handed staves). So they were introduced during a time when it was still possible to glamour them onto one-handed weapons that could actually be used (for the most part - ARR primals have one-handed weapons one could use as a level-capped weapon).

That said, I understand the frustration. I believe it's been asked before to allow one-handed staves for both CNJ/WHM and THM/BLM to be glamoured over two-handed ones, but the developers have never implemented the feature. Can't recall if they ever gave a reason for it.

Ah, I see.

Well, if there's a technical issue behind it not being converted to an actual 2h weapon, I really think the developer team should discontinue the item, because as a XIV novice, I didn't think when I got this, that the disclaimer it had "not useable as a 2h conjurer arm" would actually be detrimental of not being able to use it at all on level cap.

Or at least the disclaimer should be better written as saying that WHMs only wield 2handers.

I know I might sound petty, but I would never have purchased it if I was pretty sure it wouldn't work. I could have done more research, yes... But then, as a new player, there's so much to look after, that you won't really notice this detail.

I understand completely. A notice upon purchasing would be nice to have for those who are unaware of the glamour restrictions.

To be fair, they have a notice "This item cannot be used as a glamour for two-handed conjurer's arms." but this wording doesn't indicate to a new player that WHM doesn't have acces to 1h weapons at level cap. And the frustration is only worse because the item was purchased with real money.

So technically they aren't doing anything wrong. The disclaimer is there... But then, it's a trap for sprouts, especially when the weapon is so good looking. (The moogle rod too)
