So who's fearing what they have in store for us Anima-wise?

[Dualblade]

Ahh I can for sure see why you would think so then. Even if you mean all in total for the prices Gilga prices have atleast dropped a bit, spent 2 mil in total for all the crafted items. But not sub 100k.

[LystAP]

Bit of both really :P

My server is rather notorious for its crafters selling things for astronomical prices though. But me being me, a typical class clown, i like to have fun with things.

Hey. I invested a lot of my own gil and time into my 170/180 crafting gear. I deserve a profitable return on my investment.

I hope part of the new Anima step involves having to go through the Crystal Tower series. Queue times for them would suddenly stop being non-existent.

Guess ilvl of the relic+1 n process be announced soon

Guess:
3.25 - Ilvl 220-225 - This is due to Sepex wpns n Lore Wpns, which SE doesn't want to make them obsolete yet
3.3 - ilvl 230-240 - Shd be a ilvl wpn lower than Midas

As mention in one of SE live letter, ilvl of relic wpns, depends on statistic clears for current available wpns
and Perhaps 3.25, will add the glow and Materia slots .

As usual, crafting activities will be part of the process.

Just want to say that as a precedent, Crafting was only needed for the Achievement Steps for both the Relic an Anima Weapons an Upgrading the former to the Zodiac weapon (the penultimate step), I'd imagine that its far too early to bring back the Crafters, but hey I was wrong about Yasha gear being dungeon drops so what do I know

Materia however is fair game, as is doing very specific tasks like waiting for FATE on an one mouth timer, or farming CT and Void Ark for new items, or Light farming.

Especially when some of the Lore weapons have more desirable stats than their Anima counterparts.

My eso weapon had better stats than the relic. For me it is just glamour and to say I did it. The relic was delayed and also would have benefitted the player base more if it was introduced closer to the launch of HW.

so seems relic is 230 going by patch notes

[Dualblade]

Yep, officially 230. No reduction in for the 210 step so I might skip the DRG relic and go for PLD instead since I don't think I'll have all my unidentifiables by next week.

Also 240 almost gaurenteed for 3.3.

does anyone know if the I230 going to have a diff model (skin) or is it the same as I210.

Probably just a glow, MAYBE a recolor.

New relic ilvl on par as the lore weapon, hmm idk how I feel about that. Hoped it would be higher than lore. Sure its possible one might have better secondary stats, but if I don't care about that but rather the base damage of the weapon, then might as well just go with the lore weapon at this point, since the lore is easier to get, with we having been able to do A8 for the tokens for 5 weeks. Of course it depends on the actual grind for the steps.

We're getting another Relic step in 3.3, and since new ilvl in general won't be till 3.4 AND they won't be going above 240 because of raid weapons it had to be, at best, 230 this patch (which it is) and 240 in 3.3.
