Kit Content[edit]

Though we still lack substancial data, it is starting to look like the available weapons go on a rotation of sorts, with the last two choices from the previous Starter Kit available as the first two choices for the next one:

Kit Choice 1 Coice 2 Choice 3 Choice 4
Set 1 Meteorlogicus The Bifrost Bolt Quip
Set 2 Bolt Quip The Moot The Predator
Set 3 The Moot The Predator Frostfang The Dreamer
Set 4 Frostfang The Dreamer Incinerator The Juggernaut

It also looks like we're just getting Generation 1 Legendary weapons (maybe not true, though?). Not sure, though, if we'll just get 1 Greatsword (Eternity) or its two components (Twilight + Sunrise), or even all 3 of them; also not sure if we'll get the underwater ones.

So total available weapons could be 16 (1x greatsword, 0x underwater), 17 (2x greatswords, 0x underwater), 18 (3 greatswords, no underwater), 19 (1x greatsword, 3x underwater), 20 (2x greatswords, 3x underwater) or 21 (3x greatsword, 3x underwater).

Even amounts of weapons could mean these kits would start repeating over themselves after 8 or 10 seasons, while odd amounts would mean there should be enough unique kits for 19 or 21 seasons.

Personally, I think we'd get 20 available weapons (2x greatswords and 3x underwater weapons), so 10 seasons would mean 10 quarters = 2 years and half before the Weapon Starter Kits start repeating themselves? Again, assuming we'd be limited to Gen-1 Legendaries. GwenDwen (talk) 04:34, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Assuming the 20 rolling Gen 1 GwenDwen mentioned above, Set 9 will be Rodgort, Sunrise, The Flameseeker Prophecies, and Kraitkin, with Set 10 being The Flameseeker Prophecies, Kraitkin, Meteorlogicus, and The Bifrost. Is there any desire to update these before this has been confirmed? Anjeer (talk) 03:40, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Table overview[edit]

In response to Alex’ proposal for a different table, as per the edit comment: “maybe in the long run easier to display like this, rather than adding columns of yes/no?“

This new table is barely useable to me. Showing the sets in different columns makes it very difficult to scan since you will always need to check both columns to find a particular set’s content. What I use the table most for is to plan for myself on how to best utilize the sets to get those weapons that I want. E.g. I need to decide whether to use set A or set B for a particular weapon. And easily seeing what other weapons each of those sets provides (in the same column) makes it pretty useful. I cannot do that with that new table format that just lists which sets a weapon appears on.

I didn’t want to just revert back to the original table format, so instead I’ve just readded it as another alternative, so we can have both until we come to a conclusion. For me personally, the first/second appearance table serves no purpose while the matrix is incredible useful. poke | talk 18:04, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

I prefer the matrix also. I don't see the purpose of the first/second appearance table. This information can be effortlessly deduced from the matrix. And we won't know what things will look like once we go through the whole set of gen-1 weapons, whether they will repeat in the same pattern or not, so it's unnecessary to plan for that now.

Feedback 2025/07/19 - Kits 9 and 10.[edit]

We can now strongly speculate that Kit 9 is Sunrise, Rodgort, Kraitkin, Flameseeker and then Kit 10 is Kraitkin, Flameseeker, Meteorlogicus, Bifrost, which completes the pattern that every Gen 1 weapon is in 2x sequential Kits and wraps back around from 10 to 1. Obviously no way for them to give you a 'starter' for Eternity since that would be an entire Sunrise or Twilight. This would complete the list of 20 Gen 1 weapons (excluding Eternity).

My guess, if this continues, Kits 11 to 18 would be the 16x Gen 2 weapons. --Zerothbase (talk) 17:50, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
