240 drk relic is kind of ugly

got the weapon yesterday. it is kind of ugly. i hope it looks cooler at the next step

Have you seen the Dragoon one?

nope is it ugly too?

They're all kind of ugly really. Especially the tacky effects.
They're more of a status and achievement thing.

No way, the Axe of the Blood Emperor is gorgeous. ...especially when you dye it blood red.

PLD relic pure white is nice too....

I think the DRK relic looks awesome.

But more importantly, was it really worth it making a new thread for this? I think not.

I quite like it personally. Saw it on a DRK in town the other day and instantly wanted one.

In fairness, I probably wouldn't like that visual style for any one else's weapon, and while I think the style fits the Dark Knight motif perfectly there's probably a fair bit of Soul Calibur nostalgia thrown in there too; that design'd fit right in as a Soul Edge.

I dyed my DRK weapon metalic silver

On the other hand, anima weapon is beautiful. ;_;

I like a lot of them, including drk. i don't think we will get any more models tho. zodiac had 2 models, and anima has 2 models now... so the next 2 steps are probably just glow.

nah yo. that thing is super ugly. Congrats on grinding a really ugly weapon.

I feel like they will be awesome looking once they have a glow.

Warrior main, Almost have my own axe. At about 130/240

I never understood why people feel the urge to post whenever something doesn't fit their taste. real issues like bugs and RMT sure, but this?
Guess I can jump on the waggon aswell... -clears throat- ...

I don't like when it's too hot outside.

I don't see the appeal, I think it's hideous.

Eh, I don't think it's the worst. Soul Edge homage is at least passable. NIN anima looks like a swiss army knife with everything popped out at once which is regrettable. But I suppose they're both ahead of SMN / SCH having rather boring books. Even the BLM staff starts to look good once you dye it.

The Monk weapon overrides your arm slot glamour, which pretty much ruined the look I had going on, so I'm pretty sure that makes it objectively the worst.

Why would anyone say the WHM i240 is ugly??? It's the best looking WHM relic so far, imo. ._.

brd shield bow is the worst , but thats just me :rolleyes:

I don't mind the new drk weapon look. What bugs me is that it's such a dramatic change from the last version. Wasn't that blacksmith dude going on about it being his best work? Now they're all like, "Well that didn't work out. Plan B!"

The Spurs of the Thorn Prince is my favorite model for NIN outside of Yoshimitsu Nexus. :x

I didn't like them until I actually had them and could see them in proper lighting and context, though—and they also look better dyed than they do in the default scheme. Kannagi was a pretty nice model at base, but the Hyperconductive glow was awful.

In terms of the lore, the reason you get a new weapon is because the Anima outgrows the old vessel and needs a more suitable one.

I agree with how nice it looks. Of the healers, the WHM relic is certainly among one of better ones (and really of all the relics), at least to me. While I've only see data dumps of the Astro relic (I haven't run into anyone with it yet), it looks like it might be quite nice too. Unfortunately, I have to agree with NovaLevossida about the books; both Summoner and Scholar I was very underwhelmed with upon seeing in game. Maybe they will look better with the inevitable VFX glitter they'll throw on.

To be honest this set of relics is disappointing for quite a number of jobs. The Draconomicon for SMN was easily my favourite weapon model in the game and I was looking forward to seeing it get a unique particle effect, but nope we just abandoned those models for some awfully tacky new ones. I truly hope this tier isn't the final model that gets the unique effect for the final stage.

^ This. I don't know what is going on with that bow, but it needs to stop.
The glamours shall happen.

I like the Machinist and Bard Anima the most in phase 5.

bard because it has that elegant look and Machinist because it is a Allagan style Gun. The MCH anima even has a special animation where the light on the gun switch from blue and red color based on if it is being used, red color to represent active in Hostile mode like a Allagan drone, and blue when it is not being used, representing a Allagan drone being in non-hostile mode.

I dont like the shield-bow. :(

All the drg relics so far have looked like really tiny toothpicks. Especially the anima one. The newest one has a face on it which kinda creeped me out for a bit. But that's just me. Gae Bolg will always be my favorite. Loved Drk weapon and the glamour with it in that picture though.

I finally saw the 240 MCH relic. . .

At this point it's like they WANT me to hate this thing.

I do not like the new relics at all. DRK's is too thick to look like a real blade and reminds me a weapon a huge orc should wield. DRG's is just passable. The face ruins it for me. It looks kinda creepy and when it's extended looks like you are holding a candle floor chandelier. I miss the more traditional medieval designs.

yea I don't like it. The last step looked better. I though that for 3.3 it was going to completely shed its skin and just be a energy/void portal like weapon. Would of been cool.

I think they all look pretty, but you're talking to someone who is to lazy to work on any of them lol

I don't even play DRK and was thinking to lvl it to get that relic.

If you don't like it, just change your glamour <.<

I prefer a simple sword, though it seems a lot of high level DRK weapons in this game feel 'over-designed.' Nidhogg Ex weapon being a good example, alongside this one. Maybe I should get the pally relic instead. xD
