New Relic Weapons. . .

[Laerad3993]

Basically. Though I have a feeling the KOTR weapons will be ilvl 200 and the new relic will be ilvl 210.

Wouldn't surprise me I guess. Final relic form will be 210 or the base? Aren't there two?

Does the materia in the relic even matter anymore? Since the old relics aren't required for the new ones I'd imagine that the materia is obsolete now and we'd likely get a chance to redo the stats on them when 3.15 hits. I want my nirvana but I don't want to waste money on materia and don't want to waste time spirit bonding if its likely a waste of effort with the new weapons coming.

I don't understand because it says if you have 2 you can pick 2. ???

Simple. If you went through the pain of making 1 complete Relic AKA Zeta

(Base Relic -> Zenith -> Atma -> Animus -> Novus -> Nexus -> Zodiac -> Zeta)

Then you are eligible to skip the first step of one 3.15 Relic of your own choosing, among any jobs you have unlocked.

If you've done that twice (WHM and PLD weapons for example) then, you can choose to skip the first step of MCH and DRG if you'd like.

There you have it. If you are still unsure, make all Zetas from all of your jobs, and then you'll be fine 3

Can't wait to see the looks of them! ^^

Nah, the KOTR EX weapons will be i205.
They said that these weapons will help people who are stuck on AS3 and AS4.

i200 weapons wouldn't help people clear A3S or A4S more than the i200 eso people already have, so not i200. At least i205.

I heard from the last Duty Commenced that the first step will be something, like, 10 hours worth of work. So I got my zeta before 3.1. Because even if it's not hard, I'd rather not have to wait THAT long for my Anima. XD

The temptation to just grind out the rest of my MNK's weapon is there, but I know in the end it's not worth it ^^;;

Still leveling three classes and playing super casually while waiting for 3.1.

The anima weapon will almost definitely be a grind. It's not something you will have complete on release day for most people. Expect it to take a couple weeks at least for the average player if not more.

I'm almost positive the KOTR weapons will be 205. Making them any less would essentially be pointless.

I still have to complete my Curtana with materia..

I was about to put just anything I have in order to get to the light steps..

But idk if we get a new PLD weapon (or any new weapon) besides the one we have..

if yes, then I could just meld any materia to it, not caring about it..

if not.. then I'll have to follow the process more carefully..

You will replace the zeta weapon with lv 57 anyway.
The anima weapon will be a new weapon.

Aren't they pointless, period? 1 month or less will not make them relevant in the long run, right? It's not like this is a content gap of 3 months or more... I just think it's silly if the only reason they implemented these was to push a small % of players through the last stages of Savage. Unless the difficulty for Thordan is nowhere near what's been said, I don't see a reason for that. Might as well wait another month for a 210 and push it then.

I guess everyone has their own idea on what pointless is or would be in this game. Myself, I don't see a reason to implement an entire weapon set for less than 5% of the player-base, only to completely make it useless in a month with something else that's going to likely beat it out in stats and ilvl that EVERYONE can do, and use. Seems like a huge waste of time on their behalf in terms of development time. If anyone and everyone can run Thordan HM after a week or so of learning and just faceroll it, that just drives my point home further.
