Wasting My Time on 2.0 Relic? Temp. Halted Alex Grinding

[Greydor]

I left for hiatus for some time and came back, seemingly going full force on my Relic (~last month or so). I finished the animus books and I've accumulated probably 10 or so Alex for my next relic upgrade, but I heard a rumor that the 2.0 relic is going to be replaced by a new one in 3.0.

So does that mean the 2.0 relic, e.g. the one that I'm working for, will not be upgraded further in 3.0? It will just be more-or-less a collectors item or glamour?

Yes.

Please look forward to it.

[Greydor]

Yes.

Please look forward to it.

I think I've seen this comment before - is this a Yoshi P. quote (I think I know the answer, just double checking.

An interview just prior to the 2.5 release confirmed that the next upgrade of the Zodiac weapon would be the final upgrade in the current series. The expansion will see a new series released starting in 3.1. Yoshi did say that those who completed the current series would receive some kind of perk though; no details on what that is yet.

Yes, the "Please look forward to it." string is a Yoshi P quote. Trollish or not, I'm alluding to the fact that you're asking a question that currently has no answer. We don't know what use the 2.0 relic will have in Heavensward.

It wont be replaced. It will get upgrade so continue your relic quest as normal. Current relic has plans until 3.1 at least.

All those QQing guys over relic are being so stupid and lazy that they are forgetting one thing. Do you think that because you were lazy or saw this as a hassle to do and waste of time will help you with the new relic if they made one? No. Why? Because you would end doing the same thing and find the new relic a hassle and a lot to do and give up again. Going to future you would cry for the same reasons that are happening now so...

This so much.

You can still process in the relic quest and risk that it end with 3.0
You can also put it on hold and risk that it continue in 3.0

Choose what you like more

Here is my advice. Everything you get will be replaced at some point. So just do what you enjoy. I did my relic axe even though I had my 130 from coil (and of yesterday my 135 woo!) because I wanted to just accomplish it and maybe someday have something special.

In the end just do what you enjoy. Its about fun, and I'd say if you enjoy having a cool looking weapon at the very least just accomplish it!

It doesn't have plans until 3.1. Why do so many people keep posting this? The interview that mentioned 3.1 specifically stated the next upgrade in 2.51 was the END of the current series. The 3.1 mention was discussing when they would introduce a new series. They even specifically mentioned offering a perk to compensate the players that finished the 2.x series relic... why would they offer this if it was continuing?

Some people are so desperate to believe the relic continues in the expansion that they're deliberately misinterpreting the interview. There is no debate about this any more.
