Cracked Materia Currency Exchange Question

[Spectre]

While reviewing the details for the Materia Currency Exchange I had a question I wanted to see if there was any information on.

Even after converting cracked materia, there is the possibility certain gear will see a decrease in effectiveness when compared to Version 1.0. To compensate for this loss, players will have the option to exchange any gear affixed with cracked materia for a special currency. The amount of currency received is based on the type of gear as well as the number of materia affixed. This currency can be exchanged for a variety of gear, such as those obtained in dungeons and primal battles, or darklight gear.

There are a few of my linkshell mates that are in a similar position, but I'll just use myself as an example. In our shell we had been running AV and CC for a few months, but been fairly unlucky with drops. It's a small shell and we would have to bring in a few ringers fequently, we kept pretty flexible with the loot rules so while we had some members with Darklight gear, not a whole lot.

Well to compensate, we also worked on some decently melded gear. Nothing super spectacular, but enough to be proud of on my BRD. I was still looking forward to some upgrades while we kept running.

Reading the above quote, I kinda felt sad that some of the gear I had put a bunch of effort into getting melded would be worthless, but saw the bit about the exchange so took it under wing... Untill logging in and finding that there is no more BRD (or WHM) Darklight.

So I guess my question is since these 2 classes have been removed from the existing sets, will there be some other armor peices to use the currency on for BRD and WHM?

Thanks!

Now this is just a speculation based on the .dat files that was mined and posted on ffxivdb.com but if you check this link, you'll notice that the darklight item details list them as "Requires: Level 50 and Item: Level 80". Now there are two new items with jp IDs, and no pictures "[未公開アイテム:03255]" and "[未公開アイテム:03253]", these items, like the darklight are "Requires: Level 50 and Item: Level 80"; one is for ARC/BRD and the other is for CON/WHM, my guess is these are new darklight items for whm and brd, because other then these 2 items, the only items that are Item: Lv80 are darklight.

Well that's a little encouraging, will have to see what happens I guess.
