Relic hasn't been worth it since i90.

[Neophyte]

Doing a relic is as worthless as playing the game itself at all.

[Nicodemus_Mercy]

At the very least its worth doing if you like the appearance and want to use it for glamour.

Not long ago when i came back to FFXIV (i did take over 2 months break from FFXIV) and i started doind anima weapon quest for my

you can do zur extreme ilvl 265 and you can also , do any raid tier in the game now all of them are unlocked and have echo if that helps , but if you arent gona do raids or trails Id just stick with kinna. Just like hw dungeons Im sure the first few want be that hard and can be done with a kinna just fine

if you want it simply for stats I'd say no because theyre going to be outdated soon enough
and its still gonna take you weeks to do it,depending how much time youre willing to dump into it.
(once you have your first relic completed,you can always work on several stages of the relic at the same time,which makes it a lot easier and faster but if that doesnt apply to you,its still gonna take a lot of time despite the nerfs)


if you are into glamours and appreciate the relic for its looks and also would like a headstart in the next SB relic, I'd say go for it...

It depends really - mostly on what you want to do in the game.

Seeing how you dont raid and consider even the normal version of the raids to challenging for you to enjoy, you certainly dont need an ilvl250+ weapon - for daily stuff a Kinna or crafted one will totally do the trick and with 4.0 we will be getting weapons that are better than the relic around level 66/67, I assume (at least it was this way with HW), so you'll get a decent weapon very quick in 4.0 to toss your current one.
So if you're not intrested in raids (may it be normal or savage) or EX-primals you certainly dont need the weapon for the stats.

Here are a few points/questions you can ask yourself to see if the relic is worth it for you - at least I'm asking myself those questions each time I start a new relic (currently on the second one):
- Do you like the look of the weapon and want to use it for glamour at somepoint? Stats get tossed, but looks... looks are forever! Basically: If you want to get the relic for the looks at somepoint anyways, why not continue to work on it right now anyways?
- Do you want to work on something for a longer period of time? Personally I start relics also to give myself a reason to play - so, if you want to play and want to have a feeling of progress that you cant achieve elsewhere (because everything intresting is level 60 etc. etc. - the normal "theres nothing to do for me"-problem) a relic might not be the worst choice as long as you can take it easy and relax about the progress and dont need it tomorrow!
- Do you have nothing to spend your tomes on anymore? Relics are lore-hungry. Really, really, really lore-hungry. Which is "great" when you feel you're drowining in them because its giving you a decent option to spend them! If you're short on lores because... well, I'm sure there is stuff to spend lore on besides umbrite... you should probably let the relic pass for now. If you dont know what to do with lore though: Buy umbrites and tones of umbrites, because you'll need them and continue on your journey to raise your little soul!

I would do primal extremes but i still haven't able beat Titan extreme (i got really lucky to beat Garuda extreme which is only primal extreme i able beat) because it's way too hard for me even with echo and same thing goes with every other primal extreme in ARR (I have tried few of them and i never tried any of HW primal extreme).
So i just don't want bother others who want beat primal extreme by causing wipe all the time and cause others quit doing primal extreme because of me.

Bismarck and Ravana ex would still be trivial at current ilvls, if you haven't done those. I mean my last Bismarck group had at least one person who probably shouldn't have been there due to having leveling gear on still and a few people fell off the platform for one reason or another, but we never wiped. Ravana barely has time to do mechanics and you can survive a lot of things you shouldn't be able to even if you do mess up.

Like everyone has said, in the long run it won't be worth it because SB is right around the corner. But if you're looking for something to do until then, it's a good goal to work towards. That's pretty much the only reason to do it is to fill time.

If HW is anything to go by relic-wise, finishing your relic now will give you a leg up on SB's relic. I know I plan to finish, and the fact that they're excellent looking weapons doesn't hurt anything.
