Guess that Relic Weapon!

[Phafi]

the precedent for this is that BLU COR PUP DNC SCH GEO and RUN weren't put on relics in 11 and GEO/RUN weren't put on empyreans. The difference though is that they were existing weapons, whereas these would be tuned to the job (ideally.)

Machinist = Death Penalty
yea.... i went there(bonus points to guess where its from )

[Shioban]

I expected a Silhouette on a red background with a blue burst.... and us guessing what it was.

You can't start at title like that without a Silhouette.

Here's hoping OP edits this in.

[Marxam]

DRK = Chaosbringer or Valhalla or Durandal
MCN = Fomalhaut or Aldebaran
AST = i dunno... Magic or Yu-gi-oh?

[Tizzy_Tormentor]

Machinist = Death Penalty
yea.... i went there(bonus points to guess where its from )

One of Merlwyb's muskets is already called Death Penalty iirc, so that name is unlikely. Though it was the name of the mythic weapon for the Corsair in FFXI...

I think Fomalhaut is the best bet for Machinist, something along those lines. Also possible is Annihilator and the Exeter.

For DRK, I would say Deathbringer is most likely, for Astrologian, Final Trump (though I suspect we will get something more unique this time around)

So what do you think the relic weapon for Machinist, Dark knight, and Astrologian will be?

For me I'm guessing...

Dark knight = Deathbringer

Machinist = Cerberus

Astrologian = Final Trump

Ragnarok was Darkknights main weapon mostly due to it being a 2 handed sword but warrior has that, death bringer is normal a 1 handed sword but i can see it being there relic

for machinest i was thinking cerberus but also the name of irvings final weapion (i forgot its name)

as for astrologin... i was thinking since the weapon is new why not the weapon maybie a unique name? divine intervention (since they use the stars) or something D:

>..> i kinda wanna see there allergen high allergen and dreadwyrm weapons more XD i wonder if AST's high allagan is a mini DALAMUD XD

[Eltaire]

I think Astrologian will be "Save the Queen". (Considering the Queen card is within a deck of Cards) XD

PLOT TWIST: Who said the Gun being used in the trailer was the Relic Weapon

PLOT TWIST: Cerberus is the Zodiac Weapon!

Considering whenever a new Job has been introduced it has always been shown exclusively with it's relic weapon (pre-Zenith), you can bet 100% that the weapons displayed in the Dark Knight, Machinist and Astrologian videos were indeed the Relic weapons on the first stage.

I'm curious as to what they will change into upon the Zodiac stage, as well as what the SV weapons for those classes will look like (I say this because every weapon that drops from the final boss in SV has a very unique look compared to pretty much all weapons before that dungeon).

Anyway:

Dark Knight - Deathbringer ; Zodiac - Chaosbringer

Machinist - Peace Maker ; Zodiac - Cerberus

Astrologian - Star Globe ; Zodiac - Infinity Sphere (??? just randomly guessing)

Who said the new Jobs won't have a Relic Quest?

Unless you work for SE directly and have access to all data before anyone no one knows for certain what will happen.

Also this post is for fun since I am assuming the new Jobs will have their own Relics since the Trailer did show their Iconic weapons which could be their Relic Weapons.

So why so Serious?

I didn't say I know anything, I said it's not likely. Unless you work for SE you don't know what those weapons in the trailers were either so that useless argument can work both ways...

Expansions usually attract a lot of new players. As a result it would be incredibly poor game design to have an ongoing quest from before the expansion be a requirement to obtain and progress relic weapons going forwards. I know a lot of you are in love with your weapons and all the time and effort you've poured into them but it's just not realistic from a design standpoint for them to continue to upgrade through multiple expansions. A new player joining after 3.0 would have to waste weeks doing old content that no one is interested in any more to get their relic just so they can upgrade it to deal with level 60 content... you see the problem? It would put any new players off completely, and SE wouldn't want that.

I do think there will be a relic equivalent in the expansion (possibly those weapons in the trailers), but it will be a new quest, not an extension of the current one. I wasn't trying to suggest the thread was pointless or anything, just that I don't think those new weapons will be relics but rather something else. I actually quite like the idea of Cerberus for Machinist. Astrologian is going to be difficult to predict anything for though because it's an entirely new weapon type to the series as far as I'm aware.

Gram for Dar Knight, maybe?
