About 3.1 Relic

I could have sworn that the "head start" was jsut a rumor tht got passed around. Still can't find any remarks about relics other than they're coming in 3.1 and Zeta owners will be taken into consideration

Your prize is your weapon that you can use for glamor. Most people who start new in HW aren't probably going to farm a zeta.

People who put millions of Gil into stats on a relic deserve to keep those stats. If you want bonus stats, do a relic. If you don't care for the extra boost then don't worry about it.

Totally agree.

For those using the "it's unfair to new players" card, how is it unfair? It's not.

By that token, it's "unfair" for new players that all of us from 1.0 and 2.0 have all our Jobs to Level 50.

It's "unfair" for new players that all of us that maxed out Crafting have all 50's in Crafting and Penta-Melded Crafting Gear.

It's "unfair" to new players that we start out with Final Coil of Bahamut gear and weapons.

It's "unfair" to new players that we have all of the Primal Mounts and Kirin. And all the Minions.

That argument is ridiculous.

New players are simply that: New. They are welcome to play FF XIV, and start earning / unlocking content, just like we did.

They can *easily* nerf the Relic Quest up until Zeta (simply steps, up the drop rates, reduce Light grinding requirements), and still retain the *feel* of unlocking and earning a Relic Weapon of vast power.

But to completely throw away the Relic (which was always a weapon that grew in strength and upgrades every few patches) is a complete slap in the face for all players who did the grind.

Yoshi P, I hope you reconsider the stance and seriously consider the enormous amount of time, gil, grind players have put in for these weapons in 3.1.

Thanks.

I have finished my relic on Paladin and have to say there was very little work required to get one of these it was very easy dungeon/trial farming for the most part. It isn't a slap in the face to players because got to use the weapon all through 2.0. None of the content you did to get relic was challenging at all which is why a lot of casual players have zetas. I welcome starting something new it doesn't have to continue from the same weapon we have now it honestly doesn't matter.

The current relics told a story. I'm not sure how much more "legendary" they can get. They go from "one of the weapons wielded by the legendary zodiac braves" to "one of the true weapons...". The story of these weapons is over. It's time for a new one, which isn't a bad thing. Retire the weapon, remember how much fun you had grinding atmas, and move on.
