Relic Weapon Revival (06/06/2012)

[Tano]

15-20% drop rate IS low. Expecially if you consider that since the party is made of 8, the real % of 1 member getting 1 seal is 1-2%

It's like trading 9 Darklight equips just for the pre-quest.
Because the % to get 1 seal in a party of 8 is the same as getting 1 dl/hdl piece.

So unless there is something in the new SH to get them faster, this is going to take 700+ hamlets (average).

Relic weapons already?

Not the best idea. They shouldn't release something like that when the cap is still 50.

I wonder if they'll even have unique weapon skills like their FFXI counterparts.

I have the soiled promissory note. You need the 25k GC Seal book + 3 Vortex Seals + 3 Tremor Seals + Inferno Seals.

also confirmed by a gm.

Has no one here done relic weapons in XI? It's basically the same exact thing, a huge grind made easier if you had a dedicated LS whose main goal in Dynamis was relic weapons. The only difference here is the RNG is more apparent since we only need 9 seals compared to 140k currency. Naturally, the drop rate has to be worse. Considering tons of people already have their notes, FFXIV Relics take MUCH less time to obtain. And yet people still bitch.

They're not meant for everyone, get over it.

They took shorter then this is going to take.

doing maths, the average time to get the pre-req done in a static is 144 days (and this is not the relic quest yet). relics in ff11 usually take like 90 days or less.
Of course, if you are lucky it can take less... or longer.

90 days for 1 XI weapon (and that's if you're shouting for currency 24/7), 144 days for 8 XIV weapons. You're way off.

Implying you know the quest already lol.

144 days is just to get the requirements to access the quest. And it can take longer if you're not lucky, or if you lose some times, or if you don't play for 5 hors every day.

It's like getting 9 darklight pieces.

Could u also tell if it is in inventory? (guess 1 per time) or it is key item? (many uses)

Not a good enough reason for me to wanna do hamlet.

These are not the same degree of Relics like in XI these are just upgradable AF weps Legendary weps is on the scale of XI's Relics just to inform you and getting a relic wep in XI was not hard and you didn't need a dedicated ls just need money and ppl to kill things for you.
