lolRelic Weapon? SE what have you done?

As title said, SE needs to rethink what they have done and going to do with relic weapon.

Relic is the hardest piece of weapon to obtain and now it turns out to be an laughable topic in game because its weapon skill damage is so weak that most relic owner would just use something else.

As a relic owner I'm terrified and very upset every time I log-on and wield my relic weapon, especially when an emp weapon can easily one-shot an IT aby mob...

Think about it SE, they way it is now it's definitely off balance. People with relic weapon (like me) lost trust in you.

Can you advise? Or at least tell us that this is the way you want relic to be or you will do something about it.

I'd just wait until 99. SE said that they were gonna make the relics match up to emperal in the end. Im not surpized they make those weapons a little better to start with so that people would have a reason to get them but now that abyssea will have less of a focus im sure they will fix relics in the 99 magian trials.

I concur with the OP. It's depressing being told numerous times that I should start working on the Empyrean when I just finished spending 150mil about 6 months ago for the Relic. And truth be told, if I had a group that worked on Empyrean weapons, I would. Then my Relic would be demoted to mannequin duty. :(

Mythics are not only more difficult, but also take longer to obtain.

SE have always said that relics are not for the masses and out of reach of 80% of players, I know that at the moment Emph weapons seem like the better deal but Im posotive when 99 lands you will be happy with w/e relic you have and what SE has done for you :)

This, even though I still think they are lucky to even getting the option to upgrade them. No other game offers that.

See my "Ultimate Virtue Weapons" suggestions. Rather than keep boosting "old" equipment, SquareEnix just needs to allow the, to be "tradeable" items for a final elite weapon that requires all 3 endgame weapons(relic,mythic, and empreyean). This weapon would allow players to unlock all weaponskill per type.

No other game has weapons that take 4 years to upgrade either.

It doesn't take 4 years to make a mythic, it takes about 8 months. Mythics aren't actually hard to make, just time consuming. And not even time consuming via long runs and lots of work, but because there's wait times between your runs. So the majority of that time you spend "working" on your mythic, you're actually just waiting for cooldown timers to work on it more.

The biggest cockblock on Mythics are the Tags and the supply of alexandrite. I think SE should add a suplly of alexandrites to voidwatcher NMs and maybe as drops off big chariot NMs and stuff as well.

How about a low drop rate of alexandrite bags off the chariots and ironclads?

Finally, tags are just a piss off now, sure it may've been good back in the day to prevent clogging, but now having to wait 3 days per set of assault runs is annoying as hell. Not only that but making nyzul AND normal assaults use the same tags significantly hampers making a mythic.

That, and they were almost immediately outclassed by Empy weapons... You had 5+ years to get a relic weapon, you had like 1-2 to get a mythic -- and they were significantly harder to get.

Also: Most mythics are definitly NOT outclassed by empyreans. Primarily all the non melee job's mythics.

Bard, whm, blm, rdm, so on and so forth. Also, dancer's mythic is one of the best in the game now, especially with the enhancement to climactic flourish. I'd take terpsichore over twashtar any day.

But who the hell builds a mythic for its stats. you build a mythic to say "I have a mythic, and you don't, neenerneenerneener =P"
