I'm going to do all of it anyway, but it's disappointing that the relic is just something non-raiders would use.

It is very wise to continue to do the Relic quests, as they said there will continue to be progress added even in sub-patches (2.25 was mentioned specifically). I bet that are anticipating that no one will have either a full Animus or a High Allagan (or very very few people will have one) by 2.25, and that Animus will get more books to make it i110.

I think endgame raid weaps will always supersede Relics by 5 iLVLs at expected "finished" status, though.

I'm pretty sure I (and most of my FC) will have the full Animus in the next 2 weeks. I'm halfway done with the first book without even really trying for it.
The myth tomes suck, but it can be farmed.
Regardless, people will be getting the Glanzfaust by that time. Maybe not everyone, and that does come down to some RNG (for the 110) but it's also perfectly itemized.

Why does it have to by like that? All they should do is give an optional upgrade to the relic that only drops from T9.
I don't expect them to put the best stats on the relic and hopefully the stats will be customizable in the future.
It gets relegated as a casual/catch-up weapon because it requires no hardcore endgame content. They don't want to do that, because they want everyone to be able to follow the quest line.

A minor upgrade from T9 would at least give it the potential to be BiS though.
(Potential being if we ever get to change the stats)
This is subjective, but I'd much rather have the relic be BiS and evolve over the course of end-game than using some other random loot from a chest.
They could make it optional to upgrade the relic, so only people downing T9 will get that ilvl available but everyone else can still follow the questline.

The relic weapon is meant to be meaningful, but when you're hardcore you hardly get the chance to pick it up.
Of course, that's for this patch mostly. It can be completely different next patch.

Lol if u think about its the same as ff11 when relics got overshadowed by the seekers of addoulin weapon, but then later the REM weapon got upgraded to b comparison to seekers. I think will b seeking much similar updates and patches the way 11 does.

Got my Weathered Gloam Taburd today ^^ but lost a lot of ACC.

Page 2 has someone posting his stats.
Anyway, it's mostly guesswork for now, the set I made can easily have the boots and glove switch out for lower acc.

The belt is a good way to get back the accuracy, though that'll wait till next week.

Also. At first I didn't like the look at all... But now... I'm really fond of it, lol.
I got my ACC back to 476 ... switch a lot of accessoirs though. Though it's too low for T6 (and T5 snakes), but can't change a thing now. :/ going back to deviled eggs food now. D: (always used det food before)

Without food I'm sitting at..
Accuracy 450.
Critical Hit Rate 474.
Determination 306.

I wanted to wait 2 more weeks to get the Pants. With Acc food I'll be @ 477, But I think there is a new Acc food Steamed Catfish and the HQ is 30acc. Only thing I don't like about the new body is the clipping of my hair ; ; so I'll need to redo it again.
