I dunno honestly during the last live letter at one point forgot his name next to Yoshi asked him to get a good angle on the bow to get a good look at it (now.. why would he do that?) so.. maybe relic weapons will change further in the game? I recall them saying they wanted to do something like that.LiadansWhispe Wrote:They've said they have no plans to ever allow the Artifact gear to be dyeable, due to the fact that it's "iconic."
For clarification, what Squee meant to say was: "Thou shalt not destroy our holy and most sacred creative vision with your silly individual preferences. And yellow is totally a good color for the monk gear, shut up!"

Knowing how ARR's armors can be boiled down basically to three models per armor class + tweaks, I bet that is exactly what it is. Just a reskin of an old model.
Incidentally, a quick reskin job is not much trouble at all if you know your tools, so I wouldn't discard the "unique developer gear" theory.
