So... Relic weapons stuck at lv 115 and new lv120 weapons are coming?

[chococo]

because prelim patch notes have ALL the information

it generally does. They just leave out the stuff that affects markets or gives ppl a head start. Though they stilled screwed up the market this time round.

What's with all the complaining? This is exactly how it was for 2.2 and 2.3, nothing has changed.

Why are you surprised about it? That is exactly what they did with soldiery and high allagan weapons. When they were released relic was no match for them, over the months they introduced several upgrade steps for relic till in the end it caught up.

They're doing the same thing now. Relic will have 6 months to catch up to fcob and poetic weapon.

It's hard work coming up with the next insane grind for the next stage of the Relic quest. These things don't happen overnight.

Also: they had said something about an entirely new relic weapon incoming. Can't remember where or when, but it was mentioned somewhere.

Will be 3.0, the whole zodiac thing will probably end with 2.58 or whenever.

Yeah, something along the lines of that.

Wrong.

At 2.2 you could get Animus at Day 1 (in theory) if you grinded enough. Animus was item level 100. Both Atma and Animus came with patch 2.2 on the very first day the patch came online.
Weathered Weapons that require 1300 Soldiery and 1 Unidentified Allagan Tomestone were also level 100 and came with the same patch.

What we get now is NO UPGRADE for Relic which is stuck at item level 115 for god knows how long, meanwhile the weapon you get with 1300 Poetics and new whatever tomestone is item level 120...

That is the point of this topic if that wasn't clear before.

[FizzyGiggles]

What do you think this is? If you make a weapon that is better than the raid weapon people will have no reason to beat it more than once. ( For the Story line. ) This is how it should work, Relic weapons are not skill based, it is a pure grind fest. Why should the players who like to work towards the raid weapon by spending hours wiping and learning the new raid take a back seat to a casual fiasco of grinding old content for a shiny weapon that is really just Vanity. It will Always get over shadowed in Every patch. Sure this may end being a good weapon. That will of course change when Heavensward comes out and its not good any more. Do it for fun and get it glowy, do not expect this to be a top tier weapon all the time. They made the relic BiS at the end of this patch when most people had already finished coil many many times. So now you have a weapon that has no use until 2.4 drops, and then it will be out classed immediately by the early stage raid weapon.

I am pretty sure that is wrong. IIRC animus came out slightly later because by that time I already had my tomestone from T7. I was the 2nd person, in my static, to get it too.
