3.0 Relic Weapon Idea

[MasamuneBranford]

A weapon that has a chance to do double damage is pretty big. Can you imagine that on a BLM? Pretty sure that hardcore raiding guild push for every advantage now, this would only encourage it more.

That being said, I am not against the relic weapons gaining procs and unique statuses like they had in FF11. If they made a quest that adds x proc/status to the relic, that would be great.

Yeah - I agree for BLM that would be overpowered. I merely provided an example. They could be job specific perks or what-have-you. And you're right - it obviously can't be "too" big of a benefit that it makes the perkless relic irrelevant. I think item level / DMG are the most important factors. As long as new players can jump right into 3.1 and earn the most powerful relic I think the problem is solved. Then you tack on a small perk for those that completed the 2.0 relic - and you make everybody happy.

Except that it would not make everyone happy. Obviously the players that do not have this perk will undoubtedly be unhappy.

I'm unhappy that I have to work and don't have billions of dollars. Can't have it all.

I share your unhappiness in this regard. This however, does not apply to the discussion at hand.

A perk like you have suggested would likely cause more problems. While it may make the persons whom have completed their relics happy about an added bonus, it will make those of whom have not, for whatever reason, unhappy. Like I said, this would be entirely different from SE adding a series of quests that add job specific procs/status effects to those weapons.
