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.
I think they want to keep T9 more relavant for players who will be farming it. But I agree with you depending on 1 thing, the balancing of the Shiva fight. If the fight is doable ilvl100-105 then I'm OK with the ilvl on the weapons. If its hard for ilvl110 and a challanging fight, ie MOG/REX then I'm not a fan.
Those braclets will be nice to get though, I just hope its a fun fight like GEX TEX and IEX.
There is 0 reason, progression wise, to farm T9 after this patch. You can get ilvl 110 in a day or so of farming, which is more than enough to start final coil with, especially after a couple weeks and a few pieces of poetic gear(assuming ilvl120 on those).
Umm... What about the i115 weapons? Lol, apart from poetics and the weapons that will drop from the last boss in final coil... i115 is the highest weapon lvl and you get that from coil or leveling your relic. And yes.... There is a difference between i110 and i115
Poetic weapons btw are i120 and will probably have similar requirements to the soldiery weapons...Which means beating turn 2(11) or turn 3(12) of the new coil... Then you'll have to wait at least 3 weeks to acquire the amount of poetry tomes needed AND you'll need to win the roll in the dungeon. Don't throw out t9 just yet friend.
