This ^ right here is what I've been saying for a while now.




Relics in this game are completely pointless because they are always outdated as soon as a new major patch comes along that boosts ilvl. The new tomestone coming in 4.4 will again bump up the ilvl and with it, new weapons that will outshadow the Eureka relics. No matter how much grinding you do for those brainless weapons, they will continue to be outdated and like the other past relic/anima weapons, they will be reduced to "glamour status".



The progression trendmill is so meh and pathetic that most players become complicit in it. That's why imo, relic weapons and the other different upgradeable weapons in FFXI will always be better. They took time to fully power up but it was well rewarding, give you more to do and you got a weapon that would last you more than 3 months. Most of those weapons could last you years. And they even got further upgrades quite a while ago so hanging on to them was even more worth it.


The weapons and armor you get from relic quests and other different weapon/armor quests in FFXI felt more complete. You get a sense of accomplishment from taking the time to complete those weapons and armor upgrades. There is no sense of accomplishment for relics in FFXIV since the sh*t gets outdated so fast, which makes the time invested feel like a waste. And to add relic to diadem 3.0 with a soul draining fate grind is even more moronic and a waste of time. But to those who like doing a boring grind for a weapon or piece of gear that will be outdated come the next ilvl boost patch, more power to ya!
