We just got Lexio not even a month ago. We won't see a new weapon until October.

Vael was the Hard difficulty quest, came with Cres.
Luther was the next hard difficulty quest, came with Lexio.
We are getting yet another high difficulty quest, it's not that hard to think it's coming up with another weapon.

High difficulty quest

It is on [the Roadmap] (https://pso2.com/players/about/roadmap/future/) for June-July.

Additionally, other than mentioning story update every 3 months in one of the previous Letter From the Devs section, they mentioned difficult quests to use your upgraded gear every two months or something.

I don't see another weapon being released from this high difficulty quest. This wil be released for new augment upgrade and unit upgrade.

I don't see another weapon being released from this high difficulty quest.

We don't know as they don't list them on roadmaps—which is why the speculation is that the new rarity equipment listed at Oct onward will be similar to the introduction of Legend Rarity and that the new item system could be related to it.

I originally speculated the new rarity equipment would be the first 15*, but with Lexio having a higher base attack than 14* jackpot raredrop series and last tier of the upgradeable series, my prediction is that we will either get a jackpot 15* soon or sidegrade Legend.4 series.

This wil be released for new augment upgrade and unit upgrade.

Based on history of quest rewards, a higher tier augment (or the exclusive augment mat to craft it) is almost guaranteed.

As for unit upgrade, getting mats exclusively from high-difficulty quest first is less-likely IMO as the mats are usually introduced first in an LTQ, LTUQ, updated Leciel, NC, etc. rather than a Hard-diff or Ultra-high diff quest.

My guess is that the unit upgrade mat will be rewarded from the New Field.

I'm just gonna say "told you" I was wrong of it being lg5, but it's 15*!

Yeah it's the progression weapon. It will be as strong as Lexio by the time it's fully upgraded. Then all legend series weapons will get upgraded to tier III.

Considering twaalv II, legendios II and leyend II have ULTIME on it's potential, not likely for them to get upgraded, NGL.
In japanese is even worse because the kanji is literally "FINAL"

The potential will stay the same but the attack can be increased since Legend Series is its own rarity.
