I love the creativity. Paladin with a spoon and a frying pan. Umbrellas for weapons. A paint palette for SCH/SMN.
In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
"We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

This is a Weapon design contest??? Sure seems like a Umbrella design contest.
I'm a huge fan of astrophysics so seeing a weapon designed with an actual (theoretical) black hole shape is really exciting! I hope - much like the hairstyle contest - all of the winners and finalists get to be released at some point.
I agree! TBH the most interesting DNC weapons to me, so far, are the ones with very distinct shapes: Titania because they're faerie wings, Cryptlurker because they are sycthes and the lv90 artifact because it looks like a mix between a dagger and a fan.Both of the dancer submissions on the post look breathtaking, which is really cool to see because a lot of dancer weapons tend to not really excite me. The first just looks amazing and incredibly well designed. The bottom one is simple, but fire batons makes so much sense and is a concept that we definitely need to see at some point.
I was hoping to see an actual fan among the winners, but hey!
lots of umbrellas and marine creatures? is this hinting towards a themed dungeon set?
They did AST and DNC dirty, to be honest. I get the AST choice with astrology and all, but, God, there must've been some more interesting designs. Heck, the flower finalist AST weapon was beautiful. Also, that first finalist BRD bow is gorgeous (though the first finalist is also great, so I'm not complaining). I wish they'd implement more of the different contests' entries. They add so much variety.

I loved the BLM one!! It does have a very dark and spooky vibe!A lot of these are beautiful.
Malum Ignis (BLM), the first DRG one, 2nd DRK, first Brd one, 1st PLD, and Bunny Cane (WHM) are very nice.
I really love the Umbrella Samurai one.
I'm not a fan of that Bouquet at all on MCH though...
No offense but it's ehhh. I guess they got the idea from Elphelt from GG but eh.

This is how weapon designs should look like than the ones we have in game lol they all look amazing! Kudos to people who took their time designing these weapons out.
I'm a bit bummed about the Holy paladin weapons not winning since they look terrific, but I like the PLD weapon winner too.
I particularly like DNC, WAR (Ba'gangsaw, warrior don't get enough saw weapons), BLU umbrella (RDM is also okayish, but way less fitting), RDM non umbrella weapon (possible Diana cosplay inc lol) and WHM moon staff.
I'm also interested about the white ceramic MCH weapons, pretty original.
Curious how each class have a "serious weapon" winner and a "silly weapon" winner. Did I miss something there?
