relics and weathered weapons

the new relics;

Curtana Atma Gladiator's Arm Item Level: 100 / Equipment Level: 50
Curtana Animus Gladiator's Arm Item Level: 100 / Equipment Level: 50

dont know what this is about:

Weathered Burtgang Gladiator's Arm Item Level: 100 / Equipment Level: 50
Burtgang Gladiator's Arm Item Level: 110 / Equipment Level: 50

i suspect u first upgrade relic zenityh to EITHER atma or animus based on ur choice, then use this weapon as catalyst to upgrade the weathered weapon to ilvl 110 weapon.

I'm thinking they're allowing us to choose between 2 upgrade paths. it could be
for example:
relic zenith > Curtana Atma > Curtana Animus
or
relic zenith > Weathered Burtgang > Burtgang

i think you choose rather you want to keep your current relic looks or change it appearance and upgrade it to burtgang.

I think there's less choice and more grind in this, which in my opinion is good. I'm guessing you go from atma to animus to weathered to final. Or animus to atma to weathered to final. Remember this is supposed to be in multiple stages and require tons of time.

I don't think the weathered Items are Relic Items. The Relic weapons turn into Zodiac through a new master artisan. Not wanting to be outdone Gerolt comes back with a vengence and has you seek out his old weaponry and armor (the weathered) and he then restores them to former Glory (gerolt's master works)

So Burtang is completely different set from the Zodiac Curtana wo now has two branching paths to start us off with the Horizontal choices for Zodiac Weaponry.

Maybe is a third set of "final weapon"?

1 - Allagan Weapon from T9
2 - Relic Zenith-> Relic Atma (quest)-> Relic Animus
3 - Weathered XXXX (trading tomestones of soldiery) -> XXXX

Yoshida said it will be 3 "paths" to get a high-level weapon

Possibly that the Animus Curtana Will be Combined with the Weathered Burtgang to make final form of Burtgang?

Leviathan EX weapon have the same ilvl? damn... time to farm leviathan ex then, because i have no chance to bear T6-T9 to get allagan weapon or upgrade relic+2 ¬¬

Leviathan Ex are 100, HM are 95.

If you look closely in the notes you'll see that there are 12 atma's item to collect. What is suspected at the moment is that you will first get an anima weapon, that you will upgrade into an atma, using for example 4 of the 12 atma on it. The 4 atma you pick will determine the 4 stats the weapon is getting. Once those are picked, you can continue upgrading the atma into burtgang, keeping the same stats but increasing the amount bit by bit until you reach i110.
