lets have a look:

FFXI:
Best MNK Weapon to good old times:


Different Weapon Weapon, great use but cant mach up with the Relic:


is it just me? Were the relic far better then any other weapon in XI? compare the XIV weapon: Sphairai vs Garuda (Teamplayer) or GC Weapon (for solo/casual players).

Its easy to say relics arent for everyone, but they are... you can say w/e you want. Its like in XI... some take 2 weeks others will take 6 Months and some others will take a year to finish it.


For me a REAL Relic Weapon has to be unbeatable, not even the second best Weapon has the right to be on top with the relic one (not even 1 dps more on the most weapons now), and to obtain a relic you should have to waist more then 1 or 2 Weeks, it should take atleast a half year for People they playing 7 days a Week and atleast 5-6hours a day.

or make it short:

less RNG, more Skill based and time sink Quests


just my 2 cents
Square didn't really call them relic weapons, and these weapons are currently the best in the game, AND Yoshida confirmed that they will be upgradeable in future content and will scale with the level increases that come.

...so, they're pretty good at least for a start.
