You will NEVER use this weapon unless you happen to have a dead non-set slot for it. Even then, there are other enchants that will do more damage than this to anything NOT undead/werewolf.

You can craft the prismatic enchantment. there isn't anything special about it.

Thanks then I guess I wont wait to complete this quest...
Thank you for the feed back

But if you do wait, the decision to use it then becomes yours and yours alone.
You are at cp93. You are close enough to 160 the wait isn't going to be that long.
It won't change if you wait.

Yep, the cosmetic and enchantment are re-craftable later, if that's what you want. You'll find that very soon after reaching endgame, you'll want your weapon to be part of a set peace, of which this questline weapon is not.

This ^

If I could take the glyph instead of the weapon, I would. It does not come close to Maelstrom/Master Staff as a single set piece.

Back when the game launched it had a unique enchantment. When level scaling first got added to the guild missions, there were a few reasons to hold out for the V16 version of the weapon.

First, V16 gear used to be astonishingly rare. It was supposed to be a tier of items that you had to spend a lot of time grinding and rolling the dice for.

Second, the Enchantment used to be impossible to craft. This changed at the exact same moment the level cap went up to V16, before that you would have been looking at a lower level item anyway.

The set, itself, is craftible in the Earth Forge, and you can go back whenever you want once you've finished the FG. That's always been the case. The motif was originally impossible to craft, but was added fairly earl on (it's akaviri).

There for awhile, it was one of the easiest ways to get a, "free," V16/CR160 weapon. But, the whole, Yeah, we'll drop v15s when you hit cap, just to make you grind for your v16s got dropped ages ago, and just isn't part of the game anymore. So a lot of the incentive is gone.

It's still a cool looking weapon, especially in Rubidite. But it's not like you're passing up something really special by completing the quest early.

If you use a 3-piece jewelry set, a 5-piece armor set, and 2-piece monster set... you can use the Fighter's Guild weapon reward without any harm.

Because the only weapon that could replace it (with that armor setup) would be a Master Weapon or a Maelstrom weapon, both VERY difficult to get.
