Relic+1, yay or nay?

[Fenseven]

For the amount of mytho stones you could almost buy 2 pieces of AF2 and the stats on relic +1 don't seem to be that much of an increase compared to replacing a piece of DL. Is the extra 2 weapon damage worth it?

[EmSix]

+1 relic is pretty much the biggest increase you can buy with Mythology currently. It's well worth it, that +2 base damage is similar to getting a huge chunk of STR.

Depends on the job, but if you are DRG then it's no question: get relic+1 before all else.

[Caselia]

+1 dmg is +8 of the primary stat for your class plox, dmg wise that is.

Funny i been debating on this as well! almost ready to get enough tomes to get +1 for WHM Thyrus weapon. That was my main question? is it worth it for a WHM or should i get my AF2 body, which i been wanting as well and it free's up my head as i currently have the DL cowel...
Any feedback would be great, where can we check what the difference will be for my Thyrus +1?
thx

Its the best upgrade for all but tanks.

For Bards, relic+1 is only +1 WD, +1.10 AA, and +4 dex (not counting vit, acc, and skill speed). I think other Bards mentioned it's better to go with AF2 legs over relic+1 for Bard.

[Fenseven]

Ok, i think i'll save my mytho and get +1 then, I'll be able to get it next week when i cap out.

+1 on weapon it's the way to go and we will see futher upgrades on the relics, possible +2 in the years to come.

In the grand scheme of things it honestly matters very little because if you have a decent raid group you'll be hitting turn 4/5 in coil with or without the +1 weapon. Honestly until they fix Twintania I'd say it comes down to whichever you prefer, do you like the darklight set or like looking like you just stepped out of ak? Are you fine with the base relic weapon and it's non glowie bits? I personally prefer looking like a bard again over doing a little bit more dmg(and hey af+1 is still far and away better than dl), if Twin was actually doable then yes I'd rather be able to pump out as much as possible but Square seems fairly fine leaving it as is till 2.1 where they may or may not address the fight so people can kill it.
