Relic weapons situation post expansion

[Prototype909]

it won't be. atma will be nerfed the devs have said this just not yet. (they will later)

the rest keep getting more and more nerfed. look at the philo item it use to be 600 philo's now its 200 something myth.

when soldiery becomes the new myth all myth items will be converted down to soldiery cost basically making the 1500 book less the 800 myth maps less and the 3 300 items less.

this is how the grind will get easier and easier.

How do you mitigate the cost of Novus though, which is arguably the biggest hurdle for most players? Unless you're asking people to just accept gimping themselves if they can't pay up which defeats the purpose of pursuing the weapon to begin with. There is no way a new player is going to have the few mil necessary to buy into the materia market.
