relics and weathered weapons

I think that these are just two separate weapons/gearing options.

One if a masterwork that you can gain through soldiery tomes ( weather xxxxx), and then restore to i110 (xxxxx).
The other you quest/collect items to get (relic atma) and then do more grinding/collecting to take to animus, and get the achievement.

Remember that they said that the would keep adding on to the quest for the Zodiac upgrade so it makes sense that it only goes as high as i100 initially. They have patches 2.25,2.23,2.35 to add quests and bring it up to/near High Allagan/restored Gerolt, before they raise the item level.

So.... Leviathan HM is the new farm spot since it drops i95 weapons. Hmmm I bet a lot of Twintania farmers must be raging.

Unless Leviathan hm is very hard, making its weapons ilvl 95 is really faux pas.

Since Lev-HM will be part of the Main Scenario, I doubt it's too hard.

Animus/Atma are the same ilvl - it doesn't make sense for one to be an upgrade of the other. I bet you get to choose.

The weathered to regular is probably some other thing like the EX weapons. You get the weathered one as a drop/reward somehow and then, given that there's two new Allagan-branded items available that "wind back time", I bet you upgrade the weathered to it's "original state".

Also note there's a ton of "Weathered" armor stuff. I imagine those are Gerolt's masterworks. Have to find them then restore them somehow.

It also doesn't make sense to reward an achievement for choosing Animus and to not do the same for Atma.

It's extremely unlikely that the i95 Leviathan weapons come from Leviathan Hard Mode. They said in the Live Letter that you get drops from Leviathan EX, and then combine them with something else. It's much more likely that the i95 weapons drop from Leviathan EX, and then get upgraded to the i100 version once you combine them with something else (possibly the 'Rowena's Token (Soldiery)' that the patch notes mention, but that's just a guess).

Would be a little shitty if the upgraded relic only reaches ilv100, whereas the "mythic" one is ivl110.

And there's only new achievement for relic animus so it does seem like it's the final form for 2.2 atm.

hmm......

I'm only sad that I will be replacing my Allagan Cane with a 1 hander. Getting the BLM treatment as a WHM.../sad.

what i think it is going to be:
relic>>>relic atma/animus>>>relic ugrade 2.25>>>relic upgrade 2.3
weathered masterwork>>>>completed masterwork
levi HM weapon >>> levi extreme weapon
high allagan weapon

doubt it. coil weapons look cool.
also they get to be the first to get their hands on the high allagan sets.
