Final Fantasy XIV's Dawntrail is fast approaching, and a recent media tour by director Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida and his team revealed some exciting new details about the upcoming content. Among those details was some unexpected news regarding the accessibility of glamour gear for Viper and Pictomancer, specifically gear from previous expansions.

While job changes are something that has always been consistent in FFXIV, one glaring drawback of new jobs added to Final Fantasy XIV over the years has been the lack of unique weapon rewards from various types of battle content, particularly battle content from expansions that came before those newer jobs. With the launch of Dawntrail and its subsequent patch content, however, that may finally change.

When pressed pointedly about whether Viper and Pictomancer would get access to relic and trial weapon glamours from previous expansions, FFXIV director Yoshi-P confirmed that not only will they get them, but they’ll be first in line for them with Dawntrail. Meanwhile, other recent jobs like Gunbreaker, Dancer, Reaper, and Sage will follow suit with much-needed endgame weapon glamours.

Not only that, but according to prominent FFXIV player and streamer Mrhappy, who also interviewed Yoshi-P, Viper and Pictomancer will also be the first to get glamour weapons for all current Ultimate Raids. This means that Dawntrail's new tiers should get glamour weapons from Unending Coil of Bahamut all the way up to The Omega Protocol Ultimate Raids. Yoshi-P hasn't said exactly when these will be available, whether it's at launch for 7.0 or later, but it's actively being worked on.
