Anima Update - Item Level

You might as well keep it at 120 though. Any materia you don't have to slot with Accuracy, you can slot with Crit (or Vit.)

Yep. I thought about that too. Could just leave it at 120 ACC/120 Crit anyway, as any other SCH substat is really negligible. Although one can make an argument PIE is pretty good for SCH too this tier too considering our stack usage.

Just weird to finally end up having 100 ACC over the cap with my current gear/melds, I'm still depending on some 250 crafted left side as we hadn't been lucky with getting savage healer drops since week one. As once I replace my last two crafted right sides and my head that's easily -54 ACC.

Relic should always be the best weapon period they hold legendary names... The amount of work put into it is highest achievement compare to Raid weapons any day.

Then you complete invalidate both Savage and tome weapons. And frankly, clearing Savage is much harder than grinding out old content.

Anywho, it'll be ilv 260 or 265.

They invalidated the horde weapons from the start of 3.3 with the reconditioned anima. It's going to be 260 or 265. 3.55 will be the victory lap to 275 to match the Alexandrian Weapons, just like Zodiac Zeta in 2.55.

That's also only assuming you only have one job you want to gear up, though. I have 8 jobs I want to gear, and only three of them have relics. Both the relic step and the Shire weapon are gonna be hella useful.

And a long time reward (longevity motivation for present and future), for sticking with the game for so long and all those dedicated masochistic steps too haha... I remember relic weapons from FFXI, less than 1% of the playerbase had them, and the stats were wtfomg OP. =P

Plus I read somewhere a long time ago about how Yoshi said they would b on par with the strongest raid weapons at the time. =)

Above any of the raid weapons would be nice why should i put the time in only for it to become useless because square wants to pander to raiders

FFXI Relics needed you to be near rich for them tho, but yea, i remember when i finished my Annihilator i was happy to be done with it after months of collecting.. BUT it lasted for a very long time. i have not played 11 in years but i am fairly sure they are still the best weapons baring whatever upgrades since 2012 and was not beatable by anything bought or dropped. that IS how i think relics should be (not the gill sink part) but here, they die out with the content in time. and they can't be stronger then raid weapons or raiders would cry rivers of tears.

A lot has changed since then, Gordias Savage happened and removed a lot of incentive to raid because the 210 anima step matched the A4S weapon. Since then they made it a point that the raid weapon will be the strongest of the tier. There was no i245 anima, you had to get the weapon from A8S.

Yep, I always dreamed of a Spharai for my mnk (or however you spelled it) and once you got it, you knew it was gonna be near immortally the BiS weapon til end of days lol =D

Grats on having a relic in XI, you were one of very few ^^, I just wish this game didn't have such a fast pace of things going obsolete in milliseconds XD
