A user friendly change for loot in helping for PLDs main

Well, this is already the case if you get the weapon chest, and the shield + sword are individually discounted if you need to buy them with books (7+3, vs other weapons costing 10). I believe they'd said technically they can't really do that outside of chests and vendors, which is why we have the concessions there.

They could do it easily, by creating a swordshield item that is consumed like a coffer, for every dropable sword and shield in the game, but this would create a lot of redundant items. I'm personally of the opinion that they should just combine swords and shields into a single swordshield item, glamours be damned; or combine them into a single item and then implement a new offhand glamour system that lets PLD MNK NIN RDM DNC glamour their offhand model using a second weapon as glamour.

Or have it set that it only drops the sword and then you take the sword to a vendor and if you have the sword equipped, you get to get the shied for free.
