When will the 5.0 Relic weapon series begin?

When do you think we’ll hear about the new relic series?

Probably at 5.15 like usually always happen ( 2.15 / 3.15 / 4.15 ).

Leaning towards 5.25 but we'll see.

Will depend on what it is tied to.

If tied to a basic questline with a lot of tomestone/dungeon/fate grinding expect around 5.15.


If tied to something like Eureka expect 5.25.


If tied to both(Who knows atm) expect 5.25.

Probably 5.25 if they're doing something like Eureka again, which they mentioned they might.

I just hope the final versions of the weapons look better than last time.

I'd love to say that's true, but we didn't get relic until much later due to delays with Eureka last expansion. It was 4.25. Which the delaying of the content is a one of the reasons why people weren't exactly happy with how Eureka turned out... waited almost 2 whole patches and almost an entire year just for it to be a wide range of emotions from people actively despising it, people thinking "meh", to people slagging off people who disliked it because they thought it was good/great. At least, that's how I see it.

Have they even mentioned Relics at all for Shadowbringers? I remember Anima being mentioned in the lead up to Heavensward, and there was certainly a slide for Eureka in pre-Stormblood release events. I can't seem to recall a single thing about Shadowbringers Relics, though.

I just barely finished my Terpander Lux as a returning casual player. Was a pain.

Will doing it with the rest of you fine folks make it easier?

They did mention they're planning a Eureka like content for 5.0. As for the relic, last thing Yoshi P said is that they haven't decided yet which path it would be.

Should be 5.1 (Eureka was in the 5.2 Era because it was delayed twice, and its HOPEFULLY not being tied to that side-system again), but who knows, its one of the places they arent good at being consistent.

Well... They knew they were doing Eureka long before 4.0 was release... That they don't even know what they're doing with Shadowbringers Relic yet... That's a terrible sign... My guess is a 5.45... They'll decide what they're doing by 5.15 and then delay it multiple times until we know 6.0s name before 5.xs Relics see the light of day... This is a joke, I hope...

I really miss 2.0, when A Relic Reborn was just there from launch, and the actual process was quality content, rather than brain dead FATE spam... They really need to up their game here... Relic content should be something to fill the long gap between launch and the x.1 patch... Relics should be added along with Savage at the latest, not left up in the air like this indefinitely...

I dont disagree with you there. I've been spending my time crafting and playing through the 2 expansions of GW2 storyline I didnt do when it was released.

The content lull early on in expansions is pretty awful.

Actually the last time Yoshi answered the question about 5.0 relic, is that it will be a mix between 3.0 and 4.0

I’m hoping they release the relic in 5.15 like the Zodiac and Anima weapons. I’d like to have it sooner rather than later.

I believe that "don't know yet" was said back during the lead up to ShB's release. It was likely that they were still discussing whether they were going to tie the 5.X Relics to the next Daidem/Eureka type zone or a Zodiac/Anima questline. If they decided to go with an independent questline then the new exploration zone will likely require its own unique weapons.
