Shadowbringers Relic Weapon Prediction

Eureka 2.0. Didn't they already confirm the next Eureka?

Relics generally served two purposes:
- to give casual players a chance to get a unique and fairly strong weapon
- to give players an incentive to do non-endgame content

So, my money is on:
- shared FATEs; seems only logical because it has ranks and currency
- 70s dungeons, probably ShB dungeons aswell
- high-end crafting things
- tomestone things
- daily/ weekly roulette quests
- MAYBE some GC seal stuff, but I'm not too sure about that

Basically everything that lets you grind stuff and fill queues at the same time.
Not a bad approach, because the longer an expansion has been out, the emptier certain queues tend to be and many people don't bother with 50/60/70 roulette, so new players doing the MSQ tend to wait quite a bit for their dungeons to pop when doing post-HW/ post-SB story.

The more I hear shared FATES the more I believe it.
My only hope is they don't require the Vendors to be Maxed out. That and I really hope they wont ask for a large amount of Gems @_@

My prediction is that is completely irrelevant for casual players (kinda their target audience) cause the grind required is just not something a casual player usually can`t put into something. And that it will be replaced by easier options during the expansion and after the expansion.
Either relics become the very BiS with difference. Or their "overall grind" get cut like in half or a fourth even. Think about the "nerfed" relic grinds. That should be their "starting grind point".

Also. All stages should incorporate stat and look customization. ALL OF THEM.

Just hope it doesn't revolve around any RNG heavy things like the materia phase from the ARR Relic, Fates....ugh..but I'll live. That was the most annoying aspect, more so cus the older materia was like 10k a pop on all servers for a Tier 2.

With the immense grind and horrid time sink relics require to progress... I fail to see how they are for casual players. That player group by definition has limited time to play.

I honestly feel the fates will be the starting point of it, me and the guild been talking about that since we first got into the expansion. Would not be surprised to see you need to buy 1 Tier 3 item from each vendor for 300-400 currency each.

I do hope they have some unique content for them though. I was not a fan of the ARR and HW relics at all. Spamming lower lvl dungeons and fates for months and months was not fun.

Just no more Eureka stuff please. Good lord that was a mistake.

I'm hoping for the Translucent glows this time like the +1 Elemental armors had. I'd prefer a glow like that on the weapons compared to the unnecessary glyphs we keep getting.

My prediction is people will complain about it no matter what they do.

Well probably won't be like ARR or HW since dev team didn't like making those quest while they did like making eureka
