Forgive me if this has already been addressed.

Please consider when a player is awarded a Single Hand and Shield set that it unlocks all the different Single Hand weapons for that set. (i.e. Ability Altering Weapons) There is no reason to continue to farm for the dagger, axe, and mace once you have the sword since the one hand weapon doesn't change or modify anything with regard to the skill.

    This is actually the sort of thing I would expect in a quality of life patch and raises a good point: why bother with different weapon types for a sword and board arena set?

    Not everyone is a crafter or motif page collector, that maybe someone wants that specific weapon appearance to go along with it, but doesn't have the pages to unlock it for outfits. Default gear still lets you dye the colors for free.

    I think you have confused what I'm suggesting. You would have all of the different weapon types to choose from, no need to craft or motif farm. And the default weapons that I'm looting from Maelstrom still cost gold to dye them, so I'm not sure what you mean by "Default gear still lets you dye the colors for free".

    yeah i agree, it would reduce the amount of arena runs needed by 3, since there is no difference for 1h/shield to the different weapon types

    though it could also be said that maybe the 1h/shield skill tree should have some different type of bonus depending on the 1h weapon

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    This would actually make sense for why there are different weapon types. Thinking about it, SnB and werewolf are in very similar boats where your weapon type choices just don't matter.
