I would love to see relic armor into this game as well, that you can customize stats and looks, Although I could see this becoming OP, it would be fine with me if we could only pick 1 or 2 pieces, and make it incredibly time consuming to finish, as is tradition.
Obviously I haven't put much thought into this, just seeing if anyone would be interested in something like this :)
It would also allow you to have some options with gear sets, so xyz isnt the only thing close to BiS

I think Diadem gear with the randomize secondary stats is the closest thing to what your asking for that is currently in the game. Except, that's not customizable.
I would be perfectly okay with them bringing this RNG gear back if the method to obtain was more entertaining and not as mindlessly boring as the Diadem was. -

Only if it's tied to Job Quests. I grow weary of Tomestone farming and Token farming which equates to more tomestone farming. Make it interesting and not reruns of old content.
If there is no alternative then we're better off not having it to begin with. -

In a way i like the idea. You would have multiple ways to put in more time and effort to get gear slightly better than tomestone gear, such as raiding and relic. But it would probably just lead to people complaining about how time consuming it is :(
Either way. I hope the devs got big plans for 4.0. I'm not sure how many people will want to do roullettes for another 2 years if that is all there is and a couple raids. -

It has been brought up before and addressed in one of the older live letters. However Yoshi stated that this was never planned but might be taken in consideration if the demand is high enough. He did also state that it might be a possibility for later expansions, but he did flat out say it's not planned for 4.0 and as always he ended that with, please look foward to it lol. We will see what happens, I on one side like the idea but I can see how it's difficult to implement as well as newer or old returning players be able to catch up down the road.

If it isn't planned it isn't happening. That's the way I see it.

If it's going to be a super grindy time sink they use to revive/sustain old content,
if it's going to be a potential gil sink, or crafter's goldmine,
If it's going to require arbitrarily large amounts of items to get, with low drop rates or require numbers of other items to get just for one of them,
NO.
I've been nothing less than vocal in my criticisms and distaste for relic weapons and how they're handled. I'm finally close to completing the 210 step now, and only moreso motivated to just drop it and not bother ever again. You can pretty much count me out on 4.0 and future relics. -
06-29-2016, 08:51 AMJisKing98How bout if they made it so tht we simply have to do it like fight ex primals and such. they drop a garenteed item that youll need to combine it into another so that way you can boost the armor up. and once you do that youll move on to the next primal. or do the priml runs but have each armor set for each job be about one primal. so that way you can farm the said primal for the required items to boost up your armor.Quote:

As much as I, on one side, would really like to see relic armor, if only because it's customizable, that would also mean we're likely to drop any longer-term interest in newly created gear, appearance-wise at the least, in new dungeon, raid, and casual raid contents.
Additionally, if it's anything like the regular relic has been, especially the worst, imo, step to date (200-210), then no, please no.
...
Sometimes it gets me wondering... are we really looking for a new feature? Or are we solely looking for an excusable time sink. I'd expect the latter from a developer, as it's a necessity to them, but from players? Feature-wise, what does relic armor uniquely accomplish? -
06-29-2016, 09:56 AMMagiusNecrosIf it's in the same vein as the current Anima step as far as "stat customization" goes it will accomplish absolutely nothing other then being a glamour gear choice. Slightly higher stats then most gear and being beaten out slightly higher with Savage Raid gear in the same vein as Relic weapons compared to Midan Savage weapons I feel is underwhelming. And then an expansion comes and it becomes worthless again.Quote:

As for the Ex Primal idea...I'll pass. It would be pretty much farm Primal for 2% drop instead of Mount. Which would make it the same as before. Thus more padding.
Plus when you make it a grind there is really no lore background behind it. And if your armor and weapon has no lore/story to it...it is less interesting. I much prefer knowing "powerful thing wielded stick" instead of "here's your dumb stick go nuts". -
06-29-2016, 10:17 AMThirdChild_ZKII could be fine with that. And I think it's a reasonable challenge; neither as tough as raids, nor as easy as any content below Ex trials. Of course, for some that might still be too easy, so perhaps providing a further customization for taking on greater challenge (as a purely optional thing) might be in order.Quote:
