#FFXIV’s patch 7.2 lastly provides a second dye channel to Resistance Weapons – Destructoid

Glamours have at all times been the true ‘finish purpose’ in Remaining Fantasy XIV, and when Dawntrail (7.0) was launched, folks had been excited to see the place the brand new story arc would take us. Nonetheless, many had been extra excited for a QoL replace — second dye channels in gear. 

Whereas new gear added in 7.0 and past would instantly have two dye slots, something already in existence earlier than that time joined a staggeringly lengthy ready listing to get a second dye slot of its personal. Now, with the implementation of the 7.2 patch on March 25, among the greatest objects within the sport are getting their flip — Resistance Weapons. 

Resistance Weapons had been the relic weapons launched throughout Shadowbringers, and had been initially obtained via the completion of goals in The Bozjan Southern Entrance and Zadnor. Since then, other ways to get them have been added, and so they’re now long-standing fan favorites amongst relics, seemingly solely crushed out by Heavensward’s Anima relics, that are rather more troublesome to get. 

The usefulness of this second dye channel on the Resistance Weapons varies from weapon to weapon. I’ve a couple of (too many) Resistance Weapons and have examined what the second dye slot adjustments. Right here’s what I discovered on a variety.

On Blade’s Mercy (White Mage), the second dye slot adjustments the colour of the crystals and butterflies on the head and tail finish of the employees:

Blade’s Acumen (Summoner), nevertheless, is a much less apparent change. I couldn’t truly see a distinction at first till I zoomed in and observed that the small metallic bar on the aspect of the e-book is the one factor that adjustments noticeably:

Blade’s Subtlety (Ninja) makes use of this second dye slot to alter the colour of the handles, which is a pleasant and refined solution to make them your individual:

Relic weapons are at all times wanted, and also you’ll at all times discover folks becoming a member of the grind to get their fingers on them. They sparkle or glow, and post-patch, they’re among the greatest glamour weapons available. When the Mandervillious Weapons had been launched throughout Endwalker, followers had been truly trying ahead to the grind, however what they bought was a fundamental Tomestone trade that left the relics feeling not very like relics in any respect. 

We already know that the relic grind is making a comeback when the Dawntrail relics are added as a part of Occults Crescent on Could 27 as a part of patch 7.25, so the great previous days of relic farming within the Occasion Finder are set to make a return, and future relics will at all times include two dye channels as normal.
