WILL RELIC WEAPONS remain the best weapons till level 99 like in FFXI?

If you initially turned in an HQ base weapon to the blacksmith for the relic quest as opposed to the standard version of it, will your finished relic weapon have improved stats? Will the blacksmith even accept it?

Now the whole relic +1 concept might be an indication that over patches/expansions the relics will be upgradable so might end up seeing relic +10 or something like that.

Thank you for this.
