A Request for the Final Relic stage

If the relic quest is really ending, there was absolutely no point in doing any of it in the first place, IMO. I thought it was going to keep getting upgraded in the future.

Nexus was BiS for a little while and Zenith was pretty good for its time.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. These relic questlines should definitely be required to continue relic questline in the expansion. People have spent dozens of hours, millions of gil and thousands of tomestones for a reason. I could easily get a tomestone weapon, but I wanted to keep up with the relic because it's supposed to keep upgrading. Even if previous relics aren't required in expansion, they should at least reward players in some way who completed their relics, like let them skip some steps or at least keep the customized stats from current relic.

Exactly. I'm working on light toward my second Nexus right now, and I'll be extremely upset if there's only one final upgrade, and then it's done for good. Because, that ultimately means it was all for nothing.

Gear in this game has a 6month shelf life. Except for Relics which will last until expansion. 2.0 = Relics 3.0 = Mythics? 4.0 = Empyrean? etc etc

Best case is we get some sort of cool Tatoo or glamour for our work.

Pretty sure they said somewhere that's not happening. If I remember correctly, it's going to top out at as good as or better than the T13 weps during this content cycle and then there will be brand new relic style weapon quests that start fresh in 3.0. After that your relic will just be a glamour stick.


On topic, I REALLY hope that future relic quests have some sort of daily bonus mechanism. Nexus just drags on in a way that none of the other stages did unless you're hardcore farming it.

The relic probably won't have a "Final stage" and will likely get a name change once we get to Eureka. Since that's where the legendary weapons were made. Then we'll continue on with new processes for evolving it, or use the old ones.
