Relic News - 6.45

[Deo14]

I gave my opinion on the subject of relic weapons a few pages back, I'm also not a fan of it but considering we have no new content for relics, I much rather the tomestone option since it gives more freedom of choice.
Again, this is just if we have no new content attached to it.

My last comment was just a response to the last person complaints that I saw holes in is all.

As for what you need catching up for? It's basically just to prep for the next set of raids since all current content has already been out for a while by the time it comes out.

I mean, we have IS, EO, and especially V&C which desperately needs some rewards tied to them, otherwise players won't do this content, no matter how good it is. More one-time rewards like new glam set, scrolls, mount, earring and materia won't fix this problem, it needs real solid rewards to make it worth. So either relics, savage gear or some brand new reward progression.

And you're really not using current 630 relic at 6.4. Crafted 640 set will be released, normal raids will give weekly-locked 640 gear, and you can buy 650 gear for new capped tomestones. If you meant next step, that releases at 6.45.

Honestly not having V & C dungeons give relic materials is a huge missed opportunity. The only thing you can get from the Variant vendor right now is a glamour set, and you have to want it for it to be considered a reward. This game is starting to have a huge currency problem too, we collect different kinds of currency from nearly everything in this game and it's used for so few rewards.
