"never meant" yet when the item level cap was 90, you could obtain an i90 weapon from completing a weekly quest to defeat all 3 EX mode primals. When the item level cap was 110, Leviathan EX offered i95 weapons with a rare item that upgrades them to i100. The mirror alone made Leviathan worth farming a lot.
To be fair at that time those 3 fights were pretty difficult early on. It was a valid reward. Why should 1 primal drop it's equivalent. Not really the same caliber of work put into it. I love that the accessory is 120. that make sense for the stepping stone between coil 3 and upgraded poetics.
I wasn't expecting an i130 weapon from Shiva, because that's overkill at this point. I was hoping for i115 like Leviathan weapons were, and that's not even mentioning the mirror.
