New Relic Weapons. . .

[Dante_V]

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.

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.

Would just like to point out real quick that Bismarck EX's weapons were irrelevant almost immediately, serving only to possibly help you with Ravana EX if you didn't already have your upgraded Law weapon. This doesn't seem quite so far-fetched by comparison.

It would only be pointless if you could only play 1 job. It's not just for people doing AS, though. I like to play multiple jobs but I'm not enough of a masochist to grind relics for all of them (props to those who do, you the real mvp). Having the relic on my main and Thordan weapon on my side jobs will be the way to go for players who don't have AS4 on farm. Eso weapons cost a very high amount of tomes, and this would let me gear up my side jobs faster as well, so I'm very much looking forward to farming Thordan.
