    Eureka is not for everyone. There's no real need to get the Relic either. There are other options (tokens, Savage, Extreme, etc). If it's for the look, then yeah, you just need to slog through it. Relics have always been a long, long term investment.

    And yeah, gear will be replaced roughly every 3-4 months. As you say, that's how MMOs work. You can always take a break and come back for 5.0 or maybe a month or two before.

    Why does everyone say gear gets replaced after 3-4 months when we only get new gear tiers every 8 months?!

    Filler stuffs get replaced quicker, but my savage weapon or a savage body armor or some ilvl 400 accesoires will have been equipped for about 8-9 months in July when expansions comes out.

    Because not everyone progresses through content at the same rate, nor does everyone consume every kind of content. For someone who doesn't do savage, they're now looking at replacing gear with stuff from the monastery and replacing tomestone gear with upgraded tomestone gear. Add to that the best weapon currently available for someone in that position is the relic weapon. You can't upgrade the tomestone weapon even right now without running Omega savage, meaning that weapon you get in Eureka, even if you finish it this week, will only be a decent weapon until shortly after the expansion launches, or about 4 months.
