Relic Quest is pure Crap, i am done with it SE.

I thought the relic versions were suppose to be for casual players. I play far less often on WHM and its already going to pass my job which I play most often. It's the same thing with WAR. I've just been using gear I get randomly and it is creeping up to the ilvl of my SCH. The upgraded Shiva weapon bumped him up pretty quick. I have no want to switch from SCH from being my main. What I will probably end up doing is getting the Shiva book and 'casually' working on my relic. I guess the point I'm making in this, and I know it will make endgamers angry, is that with all the work put into the relics they really should be BiS.

Just finished my Excalibur and i came to conclusion that it will indeed get upgraded in expansion(maybe sooner), because theres no more relic to upgrade as its now legendary instead. Mutamix actually converted your relic to get black materia for that legendary, so current step is pretty much full reset thus making it like original ilvl80 relic. I can totally see new questline to get current weapon when expansion comes, and those who has it already will get small headstart.

Sooooo much effort and time for just 1 small upgrade on 1 weapon... is it really that worth?
Why people do that? o.O

I mean those weapons on the tome shop for just 1300Soldy-tomes + UAT + 1 time sand = lv110 weapon = Fast and with 100% chance to get!

Personally... I've been enjoying the hell out of speedrunning these dungeons without a level sync in place. To each their own.

Just a quick thought. Maybe after you've unlocked the quest for Atma and Alexandrite they should drop from Fates no matter what job you are. That way you can level other jobs and get something out of them other than the tiny amount of GC seals.

wait.. so we need other to help us O.o i soloed up to all the way form relic rank 1 to my 75Alx in 2-3weeks -_-; and my char is 5weeks old O.o and I'm on a small server.. what so hard about this relic quest..and i work 40+ hrs a week and get maybe 4-5hr on weekday to play... so im so lost as to way player QQ over something so easy! try farming one in XI 6-7 years ago then we can talk about hard ><

You are on a healer, you get instant Q's; I did farm relics on XI... At least the community wasn't so shut into their tight little static groups within FC groups. I also work 40+ hours a week, but I don't spend the rest of my day playing the game. I am not saying it is difficult, just that it goes much quicker, and smoother, literally becoming a one day event, if you have people to non-stop grind with you.

As weird as it sounds, I do it for fun and to be able to say I got it. Also, it may be upgraded to ilv135 sometime soon, and that would make it BIS since we got to choose the stats. On top of that healers are always the last in my static to get their tome weapons upgraded, since it benefits the group the least. As for T13 weapons, that's up to RNG. The weapon I want may never drop. Knowing my statics luck, we will probably get ten DRG weapons before anything else drops. lol.

On the bright side - the rewards are more worthwhile than what people got for completing all of the beast tribe quests (a lot of work involved when you total it all).

You dont know what gear comes with next patch, its like gambling...
Currently reset choosen stats on Zodiac isnt that easy! They need to make it a bit more userfriendly.

I'm pretty sure they wont add a higher iv or some sort of content besides t13 that drops ilv135 weapons before they upgrade the relic. I'll take that gamble any day.

For example the novus was bis before final coil came out. Only shortly, but it was nice to switch to it. I loved the look of my high allagan but I wasn't thrilled with it's stats.
