Nael drops ilvl 115 weapons
Shiva drops ilvl 110 weapons (already behind the previous curve)
Coil t11 tomestones + 1300 Poetics gets you an ilvl 120 weapon

A potentially very rare drop that you likely have to lot against 7 other people to obtain in order to upgrade the Shiva weapon makes it ilvl 115


Logical disconnect here. You could try to argue that t9 is some prestigious hardmode achievement compared to t5 and Levi was for x or y reason harder than Shiva and so the Shiva weapons being comparatively worse than Levi weapons makes sense, but you'd be wrong. Won't matter in a couple months when everyone can get 120 weapons from poetics anyway, but still.

Ah okay I get you. I guess I was more thinking why would they increase the weapons more than 5 ilvls moreso than anything, so yeah. I get your point.

But it looks like the item won't be rare as it'll drop every time and you'll have to lot against folks so. Guess this will help folks who don't have a static to run T9 with to gear up other classes.

And yeah, the changes for crafting stuff kinda makes me sad. I just dumped a good bit of gil to get the LTW Supra and GSM Supra lol, RIP my wallet.

with item sync removed, you can prolly guess that it MIGHT be speed run at some super speed to get them like old school AV CC

But like I said, none of it really truly matters. Just annoying to see such logical inconsistency between Shiva and Levi drops. But it's SE, not sure what else I was expecting.

I actually no longer have a static as mine blew up after we beat T10 our third week in a row. Couple people were not getting along and yeah. So I'm in a new-ish group now..we'll see how that goes.

But yeah, a couple haven't done T9 much so doing Shiva EX will be much better. That and they want me Bard instead of DRG. Hopefully I can convince them to let me play DRG now that I got buffed D:

How about you suck it up and we'll get you a Shiva bow. :^)

Eat dix.

i like the direction on how to obtain weapons to catch up as minor patches go tho

also makes content semi-relevant before they die completely

being said, why is zodiac now 5 il below poetics -_-

prolly the amt of QQs on how custom 115 being better than T9 weapons before >.>

or we can expect another ZW update to 135 before 3.0 (prolly this)

what if they stop updating relics in 3.0 and you have to make a new ultimate weapon from strictly heavensward content?


yoshida pls do this

not surprised!!!!

every mythic/relic/emp per expansion yo!

any dat mining thread anywhere?

I could see 2 paths appearing for this:

1st is for entirely new people, can start from scratch and after some hard work get the new expansion ultimate
2nd is for people with current relics, an easier option that lets them get the same new ultimate

Regardless, lots of butthurts will be had.

Edit: Is datamined info only available when the game is up? I wanna see details and stuff :3

You'd have to poke Cair for item stats, I took a cursory glance through images/music but got way bored cuz there's no reason any of that should've been updated.
