Relic Weapons now pointless

Personally, I don't care. I will use Mog weapon. I don't care what the stats are- drawing the weapon and hearing the sound and seeing the Moogle is HILARIOUS.

I don't care if it didn't have stats. That is my weapon now. Most of the gear in this game (aside from AF) is ugly... these are the cutest, most hilarious, and entertaining items in the game for me.... so to heck with Allaghan, forget relic+1, and humbug to Titan- all I care about are Mog weapons.

Moogles have ALWAYS been my favorite part of FF... even when it was just a negative status effect... I laughed so hard. I loved running around as a Moogle in Secret of Mana with the Moogle belt. I laugh the entire fight with King Kupo, and the music is amazing.

If only they had Moogle armor versions of AF. I don't know who came up with these puffballs of adoreability, but they are amazing. I am a 32 year old man with a plushy moogle sitting in my bedroom.

That's right.

Moogle Pride.

all good points here,

OP, just think of the allagan weapon as your +2 relic, providing of course you actually get the drop for your main... :p

I'd like to see a group kill twintania without i90 weapons... You pretty much need relic +1 to clear the dps checks.

Relic +1 is not pointless and was not a waste. If you can get carried but your FC through twin without a relic +1 then by all means, go ahead.

I understand how they work just fine thank you very much. All your ever doing is chasing a carrot on a stick, your never going to have the best items because they will always release better ones later on. The only thing that counts to me is how much fun I have along the way, most MMO focus on vast amounts of boring grind and I can't say ARR is heading is a different direction then most.

I have 5 Titan Weapons so far (50+ wins) and vastly prefer my Titan Axe to the Skill Speed Relic on WAR. I am happy they made Primal weapons worth something. Besides, there is nothing Relic, about these Relics.

I wanna see OP clear Coil with titan weapons, do it!

You are looking at Relics as something that will never be upgraded again though. The reason why they got rid of the +1 and instead gave them unique names is because relic weapons are something that you can upgrade overtime as the item lv cap increases. Odds are with the next version update we maybe have 100-105 item level, most likely 100 and if that's the case odds are we will be given a new relic quest to complete.

The perks of relic weapons are you will/should be able to continue to upgrade them however, for the allagan, primal weapons and such they are stagnant in their item level and will remain said item level. So while Relics may be replaced at some point if you obtain allagan or prefer the titan weapon, during the next version update that should change and relic weapons will be on par with the latest batch of gear added into the game.

I definitely think the Relic, Relic +1 are still viable weapons. The next major upgrade is truly your Allagan weapons. Yuki Mushroom over on Faerie has the Allagan Blade and comparing its stats with my +1, it is most definitely better, but harder to get.

Is this still true? :o Or did they do something to balance it out?

You still need them to get the achievements.

edit: yay necro

But no, they have not changed the item level of Titan weapons.
