Coil Turn 5 /weapon level 95 logic

Maybe this is an old FFXI mentality, but shouldn't "relic" weapons be the ultimate weapons that players can acquire? What's the point if these allagan weapons get an ilvl boost? At least add something in with the extreme mode primals to let us +2 our relics or something.

Yes, it's the old FFXI mentality. If these weapons would be called AF weapons (as they where tentatively called) no one would never argue about being "something there should be exclusive, best in slot forever"

Hopefully they've learned their lesson with how pitifully easy +1 relic was to acquire. The mist should have dropped in turn 4, at around 3-4 of them per week. Relic +2 shouldn't drop anywhere before turn 8 and preferably turn 9 come 2.2.

If you want them to be the absolute best in the game, then they should drop from the hardest content. In that case turn 5 for +1 and turn 10 (supposedly) for +2 and absolutely no earlier.

I can agree with this, even a unique weapon skill hailing from the symbolic reference (Excalibur - Knights of The Round, for example) would be a pretty nice way to spruce up Relics. Or even an "Occasionally enhances Jump effect" or "Cure effect" would be interesting.

I feel they're losing their value quite quickly, I understand the game is still getting onto its feet, but relics are meant to be the ultimate manifestations of strength of the soul of the job one is playing.

Yeah, the Relics in 1.2x used to do this and we had gear which originally enhances effects, i.e original Darklight for mages enhanced Regen effect and regen didn't originally make monsters want to hate you outright (it worked like regen in XI.)
