I heard we were getting a new sort of relic in 3.1, and that there was an interview or some sort of publication that provided some details on it (though I'm sure those details are limited of course). Does anyone have a link to where I might read about it?
Also, please feel free to use this thread as a place to discuss said relic weapon.
Thanks! :)

It will require one 2* item from each crafter class, each of which will cost about 5m. Please look forward to it.

i'm fine with RNg % but the only reason why didnt get all my zeta's was because of all that materia ! such a gilsink..

What about the finished Zeta's we acquired? Will they be of any use?
-
07-30-2015, 05:06 AMDelnoir
Having a finished Zeta will provide the owner with some kind of head start, yes.

Since this is a discussion page as well, what do y'all think about the quality of the relic we will get? Mainly, the item level.
I'm very curious about this. Since the Esoterics weapon upgraded and the savage raid weapon are both i210, I think this leaves the potential for them to make the Relic weapon the strongest weapon in the game (our i215).
Discuss :D -
07-30-2015, 05:24 AMjustinjarjar
Would be fine with it the grind for relic (since there is always progression gear at a similar enough level) could be 215. (I mean look at how much grind old relic took form get go).
Edit: I like how it looks regardless, but all I need it a lance and I guess I could start working on ALCH now (prob hate myself later) for globe -

All I know is this Relic is going to be like the previous one, in the sense that it will have enough hurdles to make some people (like me) wonder why the F they're even going to the trouble of getting the Relic. It will probably be the most powerful weapon in the game, and it'll likely have an iLevel of close to 300, possibly beyond 300, because, think about it, we're only in the beginning of HW. They've yet to add more story. If ARR is any indicator, with more story comes higher iLevel equipment.
The question is, is it going to be worth the trouble? -
07-30-2015, 05:41 AMjomoru2 star? it will be 4 star by then. You will also have to collect 24 items from each zone and dungeon in the game, each will have a 1 in 1 billion drop rate. You will then have grind one google lights.Quote:

I just hope it doesn't require any effort, cuz you know, that would be bad,

I sort of have a feeling would go back to how books was. Kill these guys, do these dungeons and do these fates.
Guessing you need eso items that would come out in 3.1 to buy books. So maybe headstart would be you get one free book. Lol! -
07-30-2015, 06:24 AMkiraan
It will probably be ilvl 215 in patch 3.1 and will go up in 3.3
-
07-30-2015, 06:31 AMKhyanNo thanks. I don't like craft.Quote:

07-30-2015, 07:03 AMZeratoTyraelThey have never stated this. They said they will "consider" them. Nothing else was ever concrete. People really need to go back and reread the interviews.Quote:

The current Alexander savage weapons will be obsolete and whatever the new item level for the next raid will still be higher than the relic weapon.Quote:

07-30-2015, 07:38 AMkiraanIt wont be less than i210 because of eso weapons that only takes 3 weeks of tomes. The relic will be the best in pacth 3.1, the raid weapon in 3.2, the relic will catchup in 3.3.Quote:

If they followed something similar to the first phase when 2.0 was released it would come out via a few quests eg. find item in beastman stronghold, Complete alexander normal 1-4, kill chimera/hydra mk2 spend a bunch of poetics and it will be item level 200 and upgrade to 210 via spending esoterics. I did notice somewhere in Idyllshire there is a furnace looking object with some gobbies possibly trying to mine rocks away to get to it. Possibly the old drunk kettle maker might make an appearance, since his best friend Rowena has already set up shop there.
I couldn't imagine it being 215 until savage t4 is beaten by atleast a good portion of raiders. Since it is designed to follow BEHIND raid gear but match it before the end of the patch cycle. In relation to Zeta owners, Consideration is the only thing we are getting at the moment anything else is wishful thinking. -
07-30-2015, 07:44 AMCinicusI hope this is the true route it takes.Quote:

But moreover, the rules you state weren't here at the beginning of the game. It was changed literally because only the most hardcore raiders even cared about BCoB. Relic +1 was exact same item level. I just wonder what caused them to go away from this. When I saw the savage weapon wasn't i215, the only thing I could think of to even rationalize it was that the relic in 3.1 was going to be the direction SE takes for the strongest weapon. The relic weapons were the strongest in FFXI right? This wouldn't be new territory...Quote:

07-31-2015, 02:14 AMArchvile78Zeta was BiS and it lasted me for a very long time during HW too! I expect this relic will be no different over time.Quote:

given how grindy Yoshi tries to make the game these days, I'm sure something you need will be locked behind red scripts.

Not to mention rude during zodic step but I am only saying that about one person who told me to just buy his item on the MB when I was trying to find some one to craft the mats I had. -

RNG is the absolute reason that if next Relic is the same nonsense i will be skipping it entirely.
I don't appreciate running the same content 200 more times then other people, lol (slight exaggeration but close enough)
As for item level i also think perhaps 215 could be the level
Also if it requires crafting, up yours SE, haha -

Ignore him and search for another crafter or ask FC friendsQuote:
