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

[aerolol]

WTH is the reason behind this?

Or did I just miss some important part of the patch notes?

I think they're trying to make Relic weapon always a month or two behind, so that people who runs endgame get their hands on the higher tier weapon first.

[Nahara]

We also just got the last upgrade step in the last patch. Give people time to complete the current step before introducing even more.

And the new ilevel is going to be i130 with i135 weapons.

Well, the point OP is trying to make is that you won't need to run any end game to build enough poetic currency to get your i120 weapon. It would only take a couple of weeks of capping it.

And it is a little bit concerning.

I don't like how the do-nothing-to-get weapon is sorta beating the grind-like-a-zombie weapon. :I

You can only get the tomestone to acquire the weapon with Poetics via FCoB. So that weapon will be purely obtainable by raiders until 2.5 or whenever.

The level 120 weapons will require 1300 Poetic Tomestones and the Encrypted Tomestone from probably Turn 11.

Nexus is still BIS until you're completing Turn 11, and there will likely be an upgrade for it in patch 2.5 or 2.45 or something to upgrade it to 125 and then later on towards the end of ARR and nearing the expansion up to Level 135.

I made a post on this last night and I'm not going to repeat myself: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...35#post2528435

Ah right, I actually completely forgot about that. Woops!

While I know the likelyhood of this is slim. I level my relics in hopes that someday, one day, all this zombie grinding will be worth it lol although I know there will always be a weapon slightly above it. You never know

because prelim patch notes have ALL the information
