Relic Weapons-Broken Promises

[Elexia]

Ahhh crap. This is what I get for going on the forums right after I wake up.

SE themselves call it Relic weapons or the quest would also be called 'Artifact Weapons Reborn', not Relic Weapon.

Funny thread.

The OPs issue is with the fact that 2 relics use the same materia and it's a legit issue. Do you know how much harder/expensive it makes to obtain said weapon because of this. The materia itself goes for nearly 2mil maybe more but the fact that the demand is pretty much double of all other relic materia is what hurts it.

The only way they can really remedy it though is by giving 2 options for "melded" materia since if they change it from x to x then a person who may have had one ready for when they needed it would now have a useless weapon which they spent 8mil to make.

Like, what they could do is make it where they adjust it and come 2.0 the old materia won't work anymore, so those who alrdy bought the old requirements for melding would have until 2.0 to turn their weapon in for the relic reborn quest which should be more than enough time to complete the first set of requirements 9 seals and 25k GC, and maybe the beastman boss.

But ya some info on this would be nice since it is such an odd oversight to have such an imbalanced concept as to which relic should have which materia. It's like they threw darts at a board and went with those choices, and the ACC + materia hit twice so they put it on two weapons lol.

The fact that 2 relics (relics RELICs relics relics ReLiCs ) use the same materia is the only thing I think is unfair about the quest. Considering the implied longevity of the weaps (yoshi confirmed they are up-gradable later), I think the amount of work required is acceptable.

Relic is not for everyone.

Relic should be available to absolutely everyone. (assuming they put the effort in)

the deciding factor is time and investment. do you want to put in the huge time and huge investment into it if so you'll get it. if not you wont. effort should be the only deciding factor not luck gils or any other crap.

some one can go 1/1 on a double melded weapon someone else can go 0/14 currently is the worst luck i know of on a friends mailbreaker. holding up there whole static cos of it. it's not a fair system by any means. luck of the drops in hamlets as well for the 9 seals to drop again an unfair system.

that being said and assuming i've read the correct information the latter half of the quest seems pretty bang on. obtain an item by doing a perfect 1020 caravan. beat garuda beat ifrit extreme. that seems all skill related and i only wish thats how the whole thing was.

Why are YOU POOR?? it takes 1 run of leve to get 40k and on top you get item that sell for 1-5k each...
so the reason you are poor is not a good reason

Even if this is sarcasm, this is an actual argument ppl use, so lets take a look at this

Hmmm 40k per leve, still requires 1k leves for 40m, and since there are ppl saying they sunk 150m into this that makes it about 4k leves give or take. If you use even 5 minutes for per leve you are still looking at 334 hours of running leves. Moreso if you consider the fact that most ppl cant kill off a leve in 5 minutes. Then there is real life to consider, something some ppl on here have.

So I can see being poor as a very good reason.

I have a sneaking suspicion that

Those complaining are those who are 0/8+


Those defending this system are 1/2~
