Is it time for relics to be the same ilevel as savage weapons?

I understand that, however that's not what I'm arguing against.

This is what I'm arguing against.

"People don't need to have the best gear in the game, they just want to get the best gear they can, and that's why the relic should be at least tied with the best weapon in the game."

I do see where you are coming from now and just to make my views on the subject known, whether the relic matches savage or is always just under, either is fine with me. At the end of an expansion it should match, however, only after savage has been released for a while, like the way it was done in HW. However, I will add the caveat that Ultimate weapons should still beat out both savage and relic weapons, ideally more than the 40 points from an extra materia meld, but it should be better.

I'd be fine with that, I have liked the look of the past relics so I'm looking forward to the new one. I wonder how it's going to work too, since I believe we're getting armor as well as a weapon.
