Thoughts on Relic Armor upgrade

[Demonjustin]

Basically, looking back at what you've done with the artifact armor it seems we'll be heavily encouraged to first upgrade our relic armor to the +1 and/or +2 versions first. But with regards to the +1 version I'll be damned if I spend Dynamis currency on anything but a relic weapon. And my personal experience with the "Forgotten" items necessary to upgrade to +2 is that they are too annoyingly rare a drop, to the point where I am still well shy of 30 of any one type of them (let alone 50) after all this time since their introduction.

If you haven't gotten your forgottens you apparently have never spent any amount of money on them and hardly ever do Dynamis, I have never done a Dynamis run since its re-release and not walked out with less than 4, more often than not I walked out with around 7, which puts me at 4~8 runs apiece. They are by no means hard to get, skipping +1 is cheaper than doing it anyways, and on your server looking at the prices for things everything except head would cost you between 250~500k at most, assuming you have none already and farm no more, head you could farm Thoughts for if you went to Dynamis. As for getting the money, if you lack any as is you can easily go do any of the Limited Time Objectives for Records and sell the Plutons from them, your server seems to average 100~110k right now, so that can help with money as well as currency from farming if you wish to sell it, which only gets you closer.

I'm curious as to why they're only upgrading 3 pieces of Relic to 119 rather than all 5

Depending on how they go about the upgrades its possible they simply do not think they will have time to implement the content for which they wish to add the drops for the other 2 pieces.
