Just an idea, since we can Augment relic weapons.
Why not artefact as well?
So that it will boost its stats and def to compare with gear around lvl 90ish.
I'm not saying it should in anyway compare to the AFv3 gear.
Just a boost to to the stats and def already on the AFv1 and AFv2 so that the gear is worth wearing at higher lvl.
they already said that relic gear will be upgradable
and stop calling relic AFv2 and empyrean armor AFv3

Yeah, the v is redundant.
AF AF2 (or relic) and AF3 is what the cool kids call them.

Actually, I just call them AF, Relic and Empy.
But hey, whatever.
On that note; Assassin's Armlets +1 was here (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Assassin%27s_Armlets_%2B1).

Empy, like Masamune? That's an Emp.
Relic, like Bravura? That's a relic.
Now if you say AF3 right off the bat, everyone knows what you're talking about.

^ he has a point when somone says "relic i think of a weapon, not armor. AF2 and Af3 is the appropriate term why?
Artifact armor Temple crown
Artifact armor 2 (the next version] Meele crown
Artifact armor 3 (3rd version) Tantra crown
See the pattern? good luck finding somone if you ask them "help me farm empy items" when you're reffering to seals.
you'll get this awnser " which weapon?"

Sorry, I'm not seeing the pattern. It's called artifact armor, relic armor and empyrean armor.
And I don't really see the need to upgrade artifact armor right now really, the +1 were a big upgrade for a lot of pieces and hopfully, the +2 relic will be as big an upgrade for them. Kind of curious to see what the stats are going to be though.

Then look more closly at the suffix of the armor, it is clear its artifact 1-2-3 no one is going to call them empyrean armor or relic armor, ever. period.
It's artifact armor version 1 2 and 3. you can go around calling it that if you want, but it will continue to fall on deaf ears.
But back on topic
was it just Af2 that will be upgradable? in other words +2-3 because the +1 version of most AF2 is pretty useless

Wonder if for the new augmented Relic Armour/AF2 they will require the NQ version or the HQ+1 version.
I'm hoping for the second, would give people more motivation to do Dynamis and upgrade the pieces they wanna turn into a +2.

Well the developers refered to it as Relic+2, so I'm guessing that you would need to get the +1 versions before hand. They also mentioned something when they announced the second wave of Dynamis changed about relic/+1 upgrade items, so I'm guessing that they will drop from there somewhere, but nothing has been anounced other than they're upgrading it.
And, just because you won't ever call it relic or empyrean armor, doesn't mean that isn't what it's called. And if you don't want to call it that fine, but facts are facts.

Help me with my paladin artifact... HONOR SWORD
AF 1 = weapon :p so i don't see how the argument of relic => excal or empyearn =>almace
the the nyzul gear/salvage gear are in reality the "mythic armor" but you dont name them AF because they're not JSE :p
