To me, the one and only, is Gae Bolg. Doesn't matter which version, glowy or not. It's just so iconic and one of the most thematically fitting lances for a dragoon. Maybe even the most.
I've been playing almost 2 years now and Gae bolg ultima is the first one that ever caught my eye as a new player. Finally progressing through Titan with my static and can't wait to finally own it!
In defense of the hw relic weapon: it has a strikingly similar dragon model to the lance that drops in Stone Vigil, which is one you would have likely picked up during your dragoon levelling experience. It is the embodiment of the soul of Coerthas, heightened by the power and energy you poured into your anima. The white glow also complements black, silver or pearly white glams extremely well, making it more accessible than other weapons with more specific glows. Don't bash it till you try it. It's a good middle ground for difficulty between ultimate raids and buying it off the marketboard. And to cap things off, it's also just good roleplay.
Great list! I'd personally rate the final stage of the HW relic a bit lower, but I love the 2nd-stage ShB one and I never even knew how amazing the UwU lance was!! Would love to see a Scholar weapons list!
the Ultima Gae Bolg has been my glam since i cleared it. I've got all the DRG relics completed, and I still go back to the Ultima every time lol, it just looks SO GOOD.
To each his/her own. I love HW's last 2 stages simply because of the dragon light effect which completely suits a dragoon. Unlike many of the other glowing weapons. Seeing horde spear gets my 2nd vote though
@@Akihito_Kanbara Nothing wrong about it objectively looking bad. Even its design without the glow effects is kinda weird. I think the previous anima steps look much better, like hyperconductive.
@@Akihito_Kanbara You're the one being hostile lmao. I literally started my comment with "personally" and you're attacking me by saying a personal opinion is wrong. Stop being a bad person and just respect other people's opinions. What exactly makes your preference right? You're some authority on which designs are "allowed" to be preferred? People can like whatever they want, yknow. You've seriously got an issue.
I am a *huge* fan of twisted and otherworldly 'spears' for Dragoon, weapons that look just as twisted by Nidhogg's rage as their wielder - an extra benefit of Longinus Zeta is that it hits that *exact* colour scheme while not being a halberd, a weapon type that doesn't really work for my fantasy of the job. I'd like to make a shout-out to the Augmented Law's Order Spear, which has the curving, organic design that makes the Shinryu spear appealing, while also having a much more traditional black-and-purple aesthetic that fits in better with the job as a whole. I'd also like to make an added shout-out to the Thunderbolt, the VFX-less version you get just for beating up Ramuh - it has a really unique design that feels much more like a dragon's claw goring your enemies than it does a traditional spear. I'm not a big fan of the lightning VFX on the Mighty Thunderbolt, but the basic version still gets a very nice purple glow that brings out a magical feeling when you wield it. It's been my go-to until I begun pursuing relics, as it really matched what I wanted from a Dragoon weapon conceptually.
To be honest... I really don't like the final step for HW relic weapon for DRG, and it's due to the same thing that makes it appealing to everyone else. Putting a shiny dragon on a weapon like how it is right now just feels goofy and kinda ugly to me, it's like it's just been slapped onto the weapon and sold to scam people into thinking this thing is powerful. If anything, the shiny dragon should cover more of the weapon itself, rather than being on just one side(the idea here is to have a shiny dragon head with its mouth open cover a portion of the head of the spear, with it coming out of its mouth and shining a different color, kinda making it look like either a trident or a halberd depending on the way the dragon is shaped), or even better, be fainter and cover the whole spear once its drawn, which would sell more the power it alludes to in the current design. I would have definitely liked this more than the dragon on a plate attached to a stick to be honest. That's the only weapon in this list I don't like, because the other ones are just way better in using their sfx in my opinion, especially the Zodiac Zeta, the ShB relic and the Dreizack ones.
I have a Sky Blue color theme with all of my outfits for my WoL and am really looking forward to picking up Shiva's Diamond Spear as my weapon of choice for Dragoon glams going forward
Great video, the seeing horde and Dreizack Recollection spears are pretty interesting. Wish I could like Areadbhar more if for no other reason than the origin of it's name being cool but it just kind of looks unwieldy and awkward to me. One thing I will say for Areadbhar that I had forgotten when initially posting this comment that I think is cool is that, it's said in mythology surrounding the spear that it had to be constantly submerged in water to keep the tip from igniting which one might consider as translated into the game via the tip of the spear igniting in light to form the dragon.
For me it's gotta be Longinnus Zeta, the grind as a Trial player is hellish but it's gonna be all the sweeter to own once I'm through with it, leveling up all of the DoL/DoH jobs was certainly an interesting part of this journey. I'm on the verge of greatness, let's hope I don't run out of steam before the finish line.
Finally a list that has Shinryu's Ephemeral Lance. It's a fairly rare weapon which I've only seen twice times outside me using it. I use it personally with the Edencall Maiming set.
These are all the best GLOWY weapons There are some really great non glow weapons that should have been mentioned. Like the *BEST LOW LEVEL SPEAR* would be the Wyvern Spear that's lv41 and obtained from The Stone Vigil. It use to be the most rarest spear due to its extreme low drop rate which I beleive has been improved after they did some updating to ARR dungeons. It has a wyvern on the tip as the blade just like HW relic. Another good spear that should be mention that doesn't glow is Edenmorn Halbert that youc an obtain from E12S. It's hard to get but possible through PF unsynch. Either get it from coffer, weapon drop or 8 clears to collect 8 books. Very victorian and great for feminen characters due to the beautful roses.
One of my favorite dragoon weapons is from the online store. It's the Bo-Staff looking like thing. It has no point. My only gripe is that it's a bit too thick. I wouldn't mind a basic stick of sorts lol
1 Year ago i saw the Dreizack for the 1st time i drooled a bit and took so many screenshots of it, today i have collected already collected both uwu and ucob spears. Back then i thought Dreizack was the best spear in the game and that nothing could top it off. Now i'm slowly loosing interest in Ultimate spears in general. How we grow. ;) I love this game.
Great video! Although this may be a silly question but how do you get your game to look so crisp and vivid? Is it an editing tool or some setting in the game itself?
I know before i got my lux dragoon weapon i really loved the byakko weapon it fit a lot of my glams that i used at the time i havent use it to much since i got my lux weapon but when i feel bored of using it i do use that byakko weapon at least until i get UwU's weapon but im not stepping into that for a bit
They don’t have fancy auras, but two of my favorites are Partisan of Divine Light and Shiva’s Diamond Spear. They’re polearms that suit the Warrior of Light, the Divine Light series for obvious reasons and the Shiva’s Diamond series looking like weaponized crystals.
The Diamond spear also has a very subtle glow when sheathed (noticable when you are flying in twilight in particular). Love that thing, and the glow / aura is plenty when drawn.
Longnus Zeta is my Main spear glam and always will be, it offer a more unique design then other spear relics and the spear itself actually feels cursed (A nod to Gae bulg?) similiar to Cu chulainn Gae Bulg from Fate.
your HW relics list requires a small print: may 2000 poetics in inventory available at any given time. you will have to exchange poetics for items over time and just cannot amass ~15k poetics and then go shopping
@@DesperiusFFXIV to plan the expenditure seems the really hard part of the whole trip to HW relics :) you have to remind yourself to check your poetics amount and buy the items on the list, then raid/run dungeons for the next batch of poetics AND set aside some part of it.
I actually do not like the design for the final form of the HW relic. I think it looks silly with that dragon attached at the end lol. I found others better looking
Weird I never got the appeal of the areadbhar, just didn't strike me as "dragoon" (yes I know there a literal dragon as it's tip XD) it just felt kinda lazy to me couple that with how the shaft is designed Def not a fan The UwU weapon will always be peak dragoon for me that or the ShB weapons first stage
I love that spear, but the glow being only at the tip, distorts the design and its harder to appreciate it. My only gripe with the no glow version is that its un-dyeable. That was a foolish decision. The spear is so beautiful and matches great with my gunmetal Drachen armor especially in the abyssal color, since the glow on the two points almost matches the little glow windows on the drachen mail. But of course, yoshi said no sir you cannot dye it.
He calls the new dragoon savage weapon one of the worst when it’s literally top 3 material and is an actual dark souls weapon from the Nameless King boss and the Lance which had nothing to do with dark souls or looks nothing even remotely close to any dark souls weapons got points for style reference???. I get people can have your opinions but this new spear isn’t just a trident or knife on a stick for once, it’s a sword spear. There is finally some variation in a sea of tridents and single spiked spears and he calls the one with a breath of fresh air one of the worst lmao
Sorry for fans but Lances style weapons are stupid design as it was used on horse riding , no slash etc... The 1st person that used this as foot fighting design should be in jail....or in crazy hospital..

as a Dark Souls fan, the new 6.2 savage weapon is the best. Nameless King style, i love it
That's what I said when I saw it too. The nameless king sword spear was one of my favorite weapons 😍 👌
Great timing, I just finished my ARR DRG Relic and was looking for what to get next 👌
Great list! I'd personally rate the final stage of the HW relic a bit lower, but I love the 2nd-stage ShB one and I never even knew how amazing the UwU lance was!! Would love to see a Scholar weapons list!

"Gae Bolg because Estinien" is a perfect reason. never quested beyond Gae Bolg Zenith personally though. still glowy and pretty
I personally don't like the final stage of HW relic at all. My favourites are probably ShB recollection, Seeing Horde, UwU and Zeta.
It's okay to be wrong. It's a learning experience.

The "mid" draw of the Longinus Zeta is like a sith lightsaber coming out. Check it out. Makes it my favorite.

My favorite has to be the Seeing Horde Spear. It goes perfectly with my dark sleek Dragoon set up.
Gae Bolg Ultima is my favorite, with Areadbhar Lux as my second favorite.
Finally a list that has Shinryu's Ephemeral Lance. It's a fairly rare weapon which I've only seen twice times outside me using it. I use it personally with the Edencall Maiming set.
I use it on my shadowless glam!
Isn't it great to see someone with the same glam as you? It's always a treat and I emote spam them usually because they're cool like me. Lol

I love the royal spear. Its simple and no glowimg effects.
Seiryu's spear is still my top spear.
Palaka's Couse. Simple and looks good.
a true GERMAN DREIZACK !! love it :D
One of my favorite dragoon weapons is from the online store. It's the Bo-Staff looking like thing. It has no point. My only gripe is that it's a bit too thick.
I wouldn't mind a basic stick of sorts lol
the only spear/lance weapon that caught my eye after lux was the abyssos one its soo good
Yama Lance is one of my favorites
Honestly from the relic on shb the 2nd form both normal and glowing are the best version for dragoon
Was happy to see Areadbhar on here! Was the first relic i ever got and its super sick
1 Year ago i saw the Dreizack for the 1st time i drooled a bit and took so many screenshots of it, today i have collected already collected both uwu and ucob spears. Back then i thought Dreizack was the best spear in the game and that nothing could top it off. Now i'm slowly loosing interest in Ultimate spears in general. How we grow. ;) I love this game.
Yup! However the dsr spear will never grow on me, its too atrocious even though ive become the elitist using only ultimate wpn 🤣🤣
Iwa-toshi and the Rakshasa/Yama spear are great if you like a curved spearhead. I also like Ryunohige and the Halberd of the Round.
Great video! Although this may be a silly question but how do you get your game to look so crisp and vivid? Is it an editing tool or some setting in the game itself?
Its the Gshade Filters 👍
+ 4k resolution. Maybe check out my recent Gshade video
Been using the unfinished Gae bolg lately just like how it's dark and has the red wire wrapping round it
I know before i got my lux dragoon weapon i really loved the byakko weapon it fit a lot of my glams that i used at the time i havent use it to much since i got my lux weapon but when i feel bored of using it i do use that byakko weapon at least until i get UwU's weapon but im not stepping into that for a bit
Tropaios Lance is also pretty cool
5:02 whats the armor glamour you got?
The yellow one? That's from Eureka, the Relic Armor set
@@DesperiusFFXIV nah the rank 5 armor

Oh man the hardest one of these is going to be BARD. Good luck picking only TEN
Mega surprised the DSR weapon isnt featured here!
What’s the glamour armour your wearing at 9:31 ? that looks awesome!
Panthean Maiming armor plus the Yorha Thighboots from last 24 man Shadowbringers Raid
Oh the purple dragoony looking armour before that I mean
What is the glam used at 8:18? It looks amazing
kinda curious how do you make the rotation slow like that?
I agree with #1, but my #2 is the final step of SB relic. So frickin cool looking!
Tremor Spear = mad underrated
The thing I like about Dragoon weapons is that its hard to find a bad one. 😂
The non-ultimate Rhongmniant is sick too and not a big grind at all
Partisan of Divine Light paired with the Edengrace Mail of maimng dyed Pure white. This is all I will say
I will take 2 place I use Longinus it has a certain thing no other weapon offer me and I am not a huge fan of ultra-shiny stuff.
Longnus Zeta is my Main spear glam and always will be, it offer a more unique design then other spear relics and the spear itself actually feels cursed (A nod to Gae bulg?) similiar to Cu chulainn Gae Bulg from Fate.
The Meloncholy Moggle Mogfork is the real winner here
Which shoes and pants are those at 3:01?
There choices are really nice. Also, the crystal trophy one is quite nice considering no glowing effect.
How do you get that dragoon stance at 5:02?
gae bulg without the glow is the best version, those biautifull colers on full display.
Deepshadow spear is literally a spear from ishgardian launchers XD

The UwU weapon will always be peak dragoon for me that or the ShB weapons first stage
Yeah, I always thought the giant glowing dragon on the tip was kind of ugly and over the top.
Sad there's not even a single mention of the Shiny form of the Law's Order Spear from Bozja :(

i like teh gae bolg weapons.. but i hate all the particles they add. i prefer the base one.. i just hate that you cant dye it..
I just want a nice simple cross spear mang. Everything in this game is so gaudy and overly ornate.
I would love for them to make a halberd like what the Dark Elf Black Guard have in warhammer. Something cruel but simple
same from RDM Video
No Law's Order ?!!!
i really dont like the last one lol. just reminds me of a flashlight
#1 UWU #2 TEA
Dont really like those overly shiny weapon, cannot see the beautiful design and detail of the material if those overly shiny aura
If Dreizach Recollection isnt #1 this list is irrelevant
I think all of the UwU and other ultimate weapons are lazy reskins that look worse than the originals. More shiny is not more better
can't get any of those
damn number 1 is so bad lol
Sorry for fans but Lances style weapons are stupid design as it was used on horse riding , no slash etc... The 1st person that used this as foot fighting design should be in jail....or in crazy hospital..
