Relics , are not relices anymore

[saber_alter]

Item level requirements are coming in 2.1 if im not mistaken, so fresh 50 wont be participating in any extreme primal fights anyway

they won't even be able to until they beat HM titan in the first place.


i'm sure they will make "hardcore" raiding content at one point or another, but it won't be 2.1 at least. it looks like they want to open our options up for gearing before they throw some hard content at us. i have no complaints with that, i like it this way.

i wonder what weapon we get for beating extreme mode primals...

on a completely different note...i don't expect to see BiS for pallys until a quest to get excalibur drops into my lap.

Please tell me, when has SE EVER referred to any armor in the game as relic armor?

On the quest acceptance page for Lv45 WAR quest "Proof is in the Putting" it says: "Curious Gorge would share with you the location of the final piece of relic armor." in reference to the AF.

You're right saber, and im glad the item level check is coming. I think its reasonable to expect a certain quality of gear even if you decide to pug a dungeon. Also im hoping the Ilvl check will decrease in the number of "runs" being sold.

Relics worked in XI because they literally were the end all be all at that time. In XIV it's the very first dungeon and ilvl 90, now you're going to get all these complaining people when we move up ilvls, "I worked hard for this, I demand it be upgraded to ilvl 100." We just need the best weapons for that ilvl to be the best, and not turn into the upgrade this armor from 10 years ago show that was XI.

It's expected in an MMO I would love to get new weapons as I progress and this gives me the incentive to run coil.

Its ok that relic+1 won't be the best as long as there is a new chapter in the quest line for +2 to be the best again. They did promise that it would be top dog with continuing upgrades... They should make good on this! Its not fare to be like, "oh too many people have it" when you made the game cake in the first place.

Cake walk, working as intended?

The relic weapon is a skin we can use in vanity...better weapons are coming...duh!

I am looking forward to the really cool gear sets FF is know for and not the all time classic crap we have now...it's good for what it's intended use and content.

oh um gee, I got a relic nao, I teh best evar and as a friend once put it I can: "stop playing the game, but just log in once in a while to admire my character in the lobby screen"

Right?

Oh wait, there is other stuff to do now? You mean, I might actually have to try to "prove" myself again? :O

What if Link told Zelda: "Hey I saved Hyrule like 5 times already, I'm a frigging HERO and you need to love me forever. What Hyrule is about to fall again? Heck with that! Can't that place STAY saved for once? What do you mean that I'm LAZY if I don't try to save it again? NO WAI" *grabs bag of chips and gets on the couch to watch football*

Don't be that LINK!

As awesome as the Gae Bolg looks, I don't want to used this winged spear for the rest of my Eorzean life. I'd like some variety as FFXIV evolves.

I can't wait for this personally.
