What value? It'll be replaced in 5.0 by vendor trash or some good dungeon drop just like every other relic weapon, and it has just as much value as a glamour as any other relic weapon--probably less because of how lackluster they look.

In fact, ARR relics did have value in HW because they could be exchanged for the first stage of the HW relic, which resulted in so many complaints about it that they scrapped that plan for SB.
