Is it true about RELICS in 3.0?!

Trying to get my second Zodiac Brave Weapon for my PLD and I still need 15 more drops, don't want it to be irrelevant by the time I get all 16 drops when 3.0 hits.

No... noone's saying anything of the sort except those angry that the Mythics aren't Relic Reborn Repeating (i.e. continuation of the Relic Reborn questline).

It won't be irrelevant... Y said there will be something special for people who completed the Zodiac quest and he said i130 level is pretty high in Ishgard till about level 55.

I have zeta for both ninja and warrior. For ninja it took me 3.5 days to get 75 alex. But that involved around 10 hours per day fate farming in middle la noscea that got me 20-25 alex per day and getting the rest from allied seals and maps. For collecting 2000 light it also took me about 3.5 days of non stop grind. Getting the dungeon drops all depends on luck though but, it took me just over a week to get all 16 drops.

I went from zodiac to zeta for ninja the day it was first implemented which took 13-14 hours of grinding. The second time I did on warrior I spread it out trough 3-4 days grinding for 3-4 hours a day. It'd will take another 3-5 weeks for you to finish from where you are.

This is great news! I can now stop busting my butt to get one and just wait for 3.0 when it becomes easier to get.

I feel like every thread you create is a subtle attempt at trolling.

Good to know, so they'll still be useful for the most part then. Hmm... I guess I could wait until 3.0 to do the other Relics as I want to collect them all of all my classes, they all look amazing.

If they're going to nerf it come 3.0 are they going to nerf the Animus Books as well? Honestly that's one of the biggest roadblocks from starting a new Relic at the beginning. I dislike doing 9 books in total.

btw, I seem to recall reading somewhere on certain letter that the relic quest will still be continued after 3.0. Whoever gave the idea that relic quest are finished in 2.0 anyways? :p

The game... it says "Zodiac Quest completed" once you get the Zeta weapon. That's where everyone is getting it from.

While there has been no mention of Relics coming to an end, there has been say that Mythics aren't the next stage of Relics. I can't quote which letter it was, but I do remember seeing it.

My guess is this:

The Zeta will last for a good chunk of Heavensward.
Once you hit 60, there will be a new quest for the new relic weapon.
Players who have obtained their Zeta's will get to skip the first few steps while those that did not get their Zeta will have to work through it to obtain their new relic weapon.
Players should have the choice to transfer over their stats from their Zeta onto their new weapons.
3.1 introduces the new upgraded relic line that will probably go for the entire 3.xx cycle.

Just some thoughts.
