Thread: FFXIV Upcoming Patch Information 2.3 (July 8)    

We really don't need another set of i100-110 weapons, just pull another Ultima HM and give him two chests, one for waist, one for ring alternative.

And to kick people in the dick to ensure its relevancy, make the oil/sands from T7/8 a rare drop from it.

Primal-themed weapons are pretty much a staple of the game at this point, so Ramuh weapons are going to happen whether they are needed or not (though I agree, we definitely don't need more weapons). I could however see the weapons being the "trash" 100% drop (i95), with a super rare i110 item in place of mirrors (ring/belt/etc).

Hoping they add Oils/Sands to the new CT just so there are more ways to upgrade soldiery gear (even if they're a rare drop that uses up your weekly item).

If anyone is doubting Ramuh weapons, look back at this old CT art:

Spoiler: show

Yes, this came out before 2.1. Yes, there are several characters (once you can pick them out) using Leviathan weapons in the art. There is a PLD wearing an Onion Helm stabbing one of the monsters in the mouth with what is probably a Ramuh sword using what is either a Levi or Ramuh shield. (roughly center, top of the pile of players, kinda small). On the right is a Black Mage in the Crimson body using either a Ramuh or Shiva staff; it's big, blue and looks like lightning or ice spikes on top.

Edit: Oh, and I'd imagine they might round out the accessories with belts coming from Gilgamesh EX.

I'ma guess that CT2 will drop gear in one of two ways:

1) Straight up drop i105 or i110 gear. i100 is not likely, due to it already being tied to solidery items, items that are upgradable to i110. i105 would be a magic number in this case, as it acts as a middle ground between getting weathered gear and upgrading said gear. I'ma also guess that these i105 items will be AF2.

2) It will drop i100 gear. This gear will be upgradable to i105 or i110 via items that also may drop in CT as well. This keeps it in line with Soildery items already out now.

Ramuh will more than likely drop all types of alternate i110 accessories. That would be ring, wristbands, and earrings. This would keep it in line with the original EX item drops that are supposed to be alternate accessory drops for Turn 1-5. Also electric pony at a crappy rate.

If neither Ramuh-HM nor Ramuh-EX drop weapons it'd be a first.

We're more than guaranteed to fight him as 'hard' in the storyline a la Leviathan (and Moggle Mog)

Well you will be able to bring your own 24 man team I believe..

They crushed so many dreams of people previously with that lol, I still remember all those optimistic FCs recruiting people for CT only to find that it's not really a challenge anyway, the only challenge is hoping your co-teams don't suck XD

Theres a Gilgamesh Ex planned? Hell yes!

Surely this will happen sooner or later, but it would be a nice little surprise for 2.3 (I'm guessing most of the major content has already been revealed or at least mentioned).

I'm guessing that Greg EX will come this next update simply because...what other Primal-ish fights will they add? 2.2 gave us the Leviathans, Moggle EX, and Gilgamesh. What are we going to get for 2.3, just Ramuh Hard and EX?
