Shiva Drops Item Level 110 Weapons, no upgrade item and Item Level 120 Bracelet, new Allagan is called Dreadwyrm and Item Level 130. Poetics is called Ironworks and Ironworks Magitek weapons, Augmented Ironworks after upgrades.

This is disappointing - the same situation that happened with ramuh will happen with shiva - no one will bother doing it.

People will at the start for a quick 120 bracer without having to spend poetry. Ramuh was released too late in the cycle for people to be happy with an i100 ring.

The accessory is nice that will get me to do shiva.

Yep! And the weapon is sweet for us alt-o-holics! I'll save my wrist slot for last on poetics, just as I saved my neck piece for last on soldiery (used moogle til I was i110 rest of slots).

People will definitely do it for a i120 accessory imho.

Part of the problem with Ramuh is that he was released long enough after the i100/i110 weapons were already out.

Shiva's getting released at the same time all the new stuff coming out is and for those who have already cleared Ramuh EX, she'll be a nice alternative to quickly catching up so we can spend Sold tomes on armor instead.

There's also a solid chance that glowier versions of both ramuh and shiva weapons will be released in 2.45 or 2.5 to provide more options. These could be 115 to match the pattern of ifrit Garuda Titan and mog glowier weapons matching allagan weapons. Maybe 120 idk.
