i was just wondering, BUT relic will require AS4 wep right ?

[Niqote]

It is very clear that Anima Relic will begin with a quest, just like the relic stages before it. And while it will no doubt have trials of some degree, I have no idea why anyone would think you need AS4 for it.

The only thing confirmed as 'Needing to start with' is needing the Zeta to skip the first phase of one Anima relic; Which of course is an optional perk.

Does anyone else feel that the new relics should be ilvl 215 or even 220? The description of the new relic weapon quest line mentions that these weapons are supposed to be the most powerful weapons ever seen. It would be disappointing if they were just ilvl 210 and the only difference between them and the upgraded Eso weapon were different secondary stats.

Well keeping with how the rest have gone, and what Yoshi has said about the weapons. It will be 210 but with slightly better stats. Maybe it will be 215 but I doubt it :/

Wouldn't be surprised it they were upgradeable to i215 during 3.17/3.18 (or whatever they call it). Relic weapons were always stronger late into odd numbered patches iirc, or at least were from a certain point onward.

there's a quote out there somewhere even saying if not enough people clear thordran the first stage anima weapons will only be 205

If the dev's current concern is that their isn't even enough people clearing content that is supposed to be pre-savage in the difficulty curve that we may as well consider the 205 gear from it the unreachable goal.

The idea that they would even involve savage at all is kind of nonsensical

That was misinformation, it was related to whether or not they'd release the Illuminati Gobdip to the Void Ark. Not related to the Anima weapon in anyway.

Yeah, I'm really hoping that it's at least ilvl215. 220 would be preferrable, when fully upgraded, to keep the weapon relevant for a longer period of time.

No need to worry then. You never need to do any Extreme/ Savage content. The closest was HM primals in 2.0 but we dont have any equivalent to that in 3.x yet so probably just a grindfest.

LOL! Titan HM is saying hello...from beyond the nerf.

Yeah that was great originally the relic was at least gated behind some at the time difficult content. But we dont have any lvl 60 HM primals in HW only expert.

I think they learned from Ramuh Ex that it's not a good idea for stuff to be dead on arrival or in the patch it was released in. If not enough people clear Thordan, they won't completely remove any reason to do thordan before the next major patch. That said, in every release, they have not gone past the maximum Ilvl so I don't see it happening.
