Question to Devs about 3.0 new jobs relic weapons

[ofTheMoores]

but titan hard is so easy

At ilvl 54, which is when they give you the quest, I can't even RUN the damn thing until ilvl 60 and everyone I talk to says I'll be wrecked unless I'm ilvl 70+.

My pet peeve with the game is giving you a quest you're in no way, shape, or form, capable of running - until you gear up one helluva lot more first.

Funny over a year ago we were in Dungeon & AF gear and weilding Ifrit weapons when I first beat Titan.

How did we do that I wonder...

[Firepower]

It was recommended to get a darklight (Wanderer's palace) ifrit or garuda weapon before titan so you wasn't using a sub 50 weapon, then maybe 1 or 2 pieces of darklight armor and by that time you was likely to have some i55/i60 accessories and gear too from farming Amdapor Keep and Wanderer's palace, maybe one mythology piece if you took 2 weeks to get them (300 myth per week cap).

The major issue with Titan back then was due to the low DPS his Tumults got quite long near the end and as such required you to have a little more hp. Nowadays with Light farmers and roulette and echo, he has no chance of being that dangerous and living that long where being undergeared is going to be an issue. You can walk in at ilv57 die at the start and everyone would carry you easily nowadays, but that wouldn't be no fun, ilv70 is overkill even for back then when I main tanked him as WAR with NO dmg mitigation (pre buff) and was definitely below i70. AFAIK off the top of my head and using a gear calculator I can guarantee I was no higher than i67.

I did titan hard the same day I beat 2.0 story
I was like 56 or so, full fighters, all 49 jewelry, except for 90 bracelet, and I think crafted 70 axe
it's not like titan is predicable or anything

Well to my perception i wondered where they will go with current relic weapons at all? Will it always be excalibur and the others. Or will they become something even better?

Patch 2.51 will create the "ultimate" zodiac weapon.

QNS: Will the Zodiac series be continued in heavensward?
Yoshida
Until now, the zodiac weapon quest has been coming a long way so, "Please forget whatever happens till now" is something we are not going to do this time.
In heavensward, lvl cap is raised and player will grow again in terms of power etc, so naturally, new items will be obtained from new contents.
Therefore, with this, the zodiac weapon quest will also continue to player's growth, but will be scheduled in 3.1


QNS: So, during that time, to the owners of the zodiac, are there consideration for them? (idk wtf he means really)
Yoshida: Of course!


QNS: Before that, it seems like in patch 2.51, the zodiac weapons will continue to grow...
Yoshida
in patch 2.51, you will see the "ultimate" form of the ZWs. With this, in heavensward, you will see ZW continue to grow into greater heights and therefore, can still be used in various situations.


QNS: So.... what is this "ultimate" version be in terms of IL.....
Yoshida
Im sorry, i cant disclose that before patch comes.
Putting IL aside, things such as "MAX determination", tuning the weapon to your desired stats is the greatest advantage of yhe ZW. You can even adjust the stats on ZW according to your existing gears.[/B]

There you go guys, farm that 3 sets of atmas, alex, ZW items if you havent!!!

tl;dr Zodiac weapons are continuing in Heavensward, get to grinding.

Ty for posting this. I'd honestly just call it all off now if it wasn't going to be in HW. I didn't invest months, and possibly hundreds of hours dealing with RNG(Atma took me 106 hrs when it first launched) to have it all pissed away in the end.

Lol not to mention those melding... I can't wait to see what kind of lights/alex buff % we're getting.

I forgot about melding. Luckily on Behemoth, everything under IV's didn't cost anything above 10k ea for a long time, so I lucked out there.

I'm 2 runs from Nexus. ._. I wish I could have benefited from the light buff. I am way too lazy to start another Relic at this point in time. I really wish they had cut the cost of GCS for Nexus > ZW, I absolutely hate farming those out, and will probably need to run another 300+ trials to just get what's needed. :<

Yea unfortunately you don't have crafts lv or else GCS can be done in about 1hr for 4x bombcores (craft and spam trade Expert Delivery). Need/Greed every dungeon drops.
