Feedback Regarding the Relic Upgrade Quest

[Clavaat]

You put the time in and you will eventually get it.

Let's look briefly at the new weapons, because I think people are looking at iLVL and nothing else

Atma: Low risk, low reward - the weapons have the exact same stats as your Zenith, but 10 ilvls higher. They are also not difficult to obtain
Animus: Low risk, medium reward - You have to collect mythology (easy, but a lot) and complete some tasks.
Weathered Masterworks: Medium risk, medium reward - slightly better than Animus in most cases, but requires soldiery and Allagan Tomestone
Masterworks: ??? risk, high reward - Very powerful weapons, but so far no confirmation of where you get the Oil of Time
Leviathan: High Risk, High Reward - On par with Masterworks, some randomness involved with drop rate, but a difficult fight
T5 weapons: High Risk, Medium reward - Still better than Atma/Animus, but only slightly. About on par with non-Tidal Leviathan weapons
T9 weapons: High Risk, High Reward - Best weapons

Take a step back and look at your options. Decide where you stand as a player (Do you think you can beat Leviathan EX? T5? T9?, Do you have the time to work on the other weapons?, etc). Weigh your options. Do not mindlessly chase after FATEs if you think you can do better. Focus on other things. Just because they are 10 ilvls higher does not mean they are better. They lead into better weapons, yes, but I think the best approach is to take it as not becoming the best weapons in the game. So far, what I've done is as I'm doing other quests/waiting for queue, I will participate in FATEs as I pass by and leave it at that. I don't feel pressured this way, and my time isn't really being used up all that much. Remember, you have options.

EDIT: From another thread:

RE-EDIT: Nvm, wasn't confirmed.
