Cool now show us the relics.

[Saccharin]

Show us the relic weapons please. So we can all say that they are terrible, and talk how much we hate them. I just want to see the relics

I think they are coming in one of the patches after 3.1, or has that chnaged.

Great, I've been saving up eso because we'll probably need them.

Boy I hope not, but I'm going to keep farming Esoterics after I get my set anyway due this possibility. I wish they'd confirm this stuff beforehand.

Yeah I know right? I capped my law and HW hunts seals in preparation just in case the relic quests needs them for something...Oh goodness...I hope we don't have to farm law actually..or even worst..hunt seals..hope I'm not giving them ideas!

Has SE said anything about if the relics will be similar to the old ones? If not then we can only speculate. It will definitely be a grind but I'm not sure how bad it will be

As for what I think it will be: Less emphasis on old dungeons, it will make us focus on current dungeons/FATEs/leves and I'm certain the new dungeons (arborarium, pharos, and void ark) will most likely be required.

As far as I remember I don't think any relic step ever came out needing the current tomestone currency except for the very first step when you needed to buy the Thav Mist to +1 the original relic (now called Zenith) This was obviously done in a time-gate attempt because it was the strongest weapon in the game for most people upon release because A) Coil wasn't out immediately, and Turn 5 had many problems when it came out and B) Allagan Weapon was also only i90 upon release so itemization of some relics were actually better than raid weapons.

- Animus books costed Mythology when they came out, Soldiery was already in game.
- Novus maps for Alexandrite costed Mythology when they came out; Sphere Scroll was initially bought with Mythology, Soldiery was already in game.
- Nexus costed nothing in terms of currency. How large of a piece of your soul it costed is subjective and will vary between cases
- Zodiac; the only piece that costed tomes was Sacred Spring Water's, which were bought for soldiery while poetics were in game.

Atma and Zeta steps costed no tomes at all. Obviously saving the Eso isn't hurting anything and you will just probably have a ton of it to spend on an alt or something...but I don't think people should worry about needing Eso for the relic. At least not the first step. Maybe if they release more than 1 step in 3.1 like they did for the original relic. I would think you should definitely have 2000 Law tomes before 3.1 though. Just my 2 gil

Murphy's Law dude; My PVE tank is geared for SA3(my Hurdle) and my MCH is min/maxed PvP till I hit rank 50(4 ranks to go!!!!) so I'm capped on both Law and Eso, not taking any chances.
Edit: Each Mahatma cost 200 Soldiery iirc, though you're correct stating it was never the current tome tier.
