This section is empty or needs to be expanded. You can help the Final Fantasy Wiki by expanding it.The following is a list of 
Gladiator's Arms from Final Fantasy XIV. Primarily composed of a variety of swords, they are used by 
Gladiators and 
Paladins, and are meant to be paired with 
Shields. Due to the accompanying shield, gladiator's arms have lower attribute bonuses than other weapons, but are also cheaper to purchase or craft. A gladiator's arm and shield of the same item level will generally similar total attributes as an equivalent weapon from another class, with the unique defensive attributes of the shield.
Daggers were once included in this category. Patch 2.3 changed the names and appearances of all non-dated daggers to various types of swords in order to clear the way for the dagger-wielding 
Rogue and 
Ninja disciplines that were introduced in patch 2.4. The dated daggers, deprecated items from the original release, can make for rare and unique glamours for characters lucky enough to be in possession of one.
