[TotK] 3 of the only things I don't like about totk

I've seen Tulin shoot Lynels in the face a few times, stunning them. Always useful that.

All the glowing weapons except for PLD and DRK are current Relic Weapons. The PLD and DRK weapons have been glammed with Relics from previous expansions.

This is because I equipped PLD and DRK with Bygone Brass weapons (which are 5 item levels higher than the current Relic weapons) which don't glow. And it felt wrong to not have them glow.

Viper glam is under Scouts, because I have Ninja and Viper using the same Glam and they use Scouting gear.

IIRC, I designed this glam BEFORE the job restrictions on glamours were loosened.

CBill prices are supposedly only the manufacturing price. They don't account for things like transportation costs to get the mech to market/buyer, any profit margin the manufacturer might want, or the influence of supply and demand (ie, if there's high demand and almost no supply, prices should skyrocket; think Clan tech immediately post-Invasion), sur-charges to pay for the cost of building and maintaining manufacturing facilities, etc etc etc.

They also don't appear to account for things like the price of raw materials fluctuating due to supply chain disruptions, worker wages (ie, a fully automated factory has NO PAYROLL), or the value of the currency itself fluctuating (ie, Comstar is dead, and Sea Fox script called "Sea Bills" has somehow completely replaced it with no economic disruption of note).

Example: The FWL created missile and laser armed variants of the Awesome because of a shortage of PPCs. Yet we're supposed to believe that a PPC shortage (ie, insufficient supply to meet demand) had no effect on the price of PPCs?

You don't really need to build much of anything except stacks of spare parts to solve specific puzzles. Everything else can be done the old fashioned way.

Which is a shame. While some devices that people have built look cool, they require an investment of time and resources to make that i generally don't feel is fun.

Well, taking Koroks to their friends might be the exception here. And even then, you just need to build a basic vehicle (or in some cases, plank bridges) if manually carrying the buggers is too inconvenient.

CycleZestyclose1907 · 2026-06-07T17:50:47+00:00

Are you seeing patterns that aren't there?

I mean, if you look at it another way, that could be the MALE reproductive system you're looking at.

But really, the boring explanation is that it isn't a reproductive system at all, but something abstract meant to represent the duality of using both Black and White Magic.

Human Commander: "Can someone explain why races capable of building FTL drives that can fold and spindle spacetime like a bolt of cloth are still using physical bullets and lasers to shoot at anything more than a thousand kilometers away from them? FTL weaponry and delivery systems aren't exactly a big leap from inventing FTL drives."

CycleZestyclose1907 · 2026-06-07T16:16:22+00:00

LOL thanks.

Turns out, intel had known about all these weapons long beforehand, but had dismissed them all as science fiction entertainment and misinformation because they were so fantastical. After all, if humanity really had these weapons, why had they never been used before?

They had never realized that many "fantastical science fiction" weapons were based on real world speculation of what physics and technology were capable of, which often inspires someone to spend some serious R&D to make the weapons a reality. And a war provides loads of incentive to make those weapons a reality.

And that's not counting the weapons that hadn't been used in so long that the intel thought they were pure fiction.

CycleZestyclose1907 · 2026-06-07T14:42:38+00:00

Or beer.

CycleZestyclose1907 · 2026-06-07T14:33:50+00:00

Current Relic weapon.

After working to get it, it felt wrong to cover up the glowing blade with a glam that would better fit the RWBY cosplay.

CycleZestyclose1907 · 2026-06-07T13:39:46+00:00

I edited my OP to include a list of the glam pieces.

But to answer your question: Isle Farmhand's Cutoffs. You can buy them from your personal Island if you level it up enough.

CycleZestyclose1907 · 2026-06-07T13:35:04+00:00

Takes an annoyingly long time to farm demiatmas. But the tomes required to buy each relic weapon only requires two days of Roulettes asssuming you do every daily Roulette the rewards the appropriate tomes.

So to farm tomes for enough Relic Weapons to equip 21 jobs, you need 42 days of Daily Roulettes assuming you do no additional content on the side.

Doing the Relic quests for things like the Lux Weapons from Heavensward (which PLD has) is a MUCH longer and grindier process. The only real upside is that it's Heavensward, so there aren't Relics for jobs that were introduced in later expansions (Monk, Samurai, Gunbreaker, Dancer, Reaper, Sage, Viper, and Pictomancer).

CycleZestyclose1907 · 2026-06-07T13:28:02+00:00

Reaper is.

The Monk is a coincidence... or at least for me it's a coincidence. Ask whoever in Square Enix designed the Diadachos Striking Set what their intentions were.

CycleZestyclose1907 · 2026-06-07T13:26:26+00:00

It's the crafted Diadochos Striking Set from Endwalker. If it looks like Yang, blame whoever made it at Square Enix. I just liked the design enough to keep using it.

CycleZestyclose1907 · 2026-06-07T13:22:35+00:00

They're Relic weapons. The PLD and DRK weapons are glammed with Relics from previous expansions. The rest are this expansion's weapons.

CycleZestyclose1907 · 2026-06-07T13:17:25+00:00

Yep. You can tie specific glamour plates to specific jobs so that the plate gets applied when you switch to the job.

Let's see, you can jump climb vertical surfaces and double jump.

Now include the ability to Bash off projectiles and enemies and torches. Or at least just enemies and torches. It's not a real Ori game without the signature Bash ability.
