How relic should have been....

[Nofacekiller]

The method for obtaining regular relic weapons is fine as is.



ilvl 95 +1 relic should have been obtained by an item dropped by twintania.


ilvl 90 allagan should have been myth tome gear.



It just doesn't make sense that the most epic looking weapons should become obsolete. Allagan looks just like any common dungeon gear...

Even better-
Allagan should have just been an item to upgrade to +2 relic...

Relic +1 is ilvl 90, not 95. There *will* be further upgrades to the relic weapons in the future.

ilvl 90 allagan should have been myth tome gear.

What is this i dont even... ? No, level 90 allagan should be level 90 allagan, like it already is. In all actality, I realize yo are talking about the weapons specifically.

Why do you think the relic weapons should be better than the allagan when the allagan is harder to get?

Like I said, this isnt the end of the line for relic weapons, they will get upgrades. But considering how many people ALREADY HAVE relic weapons, it makes more sense to do what they're already going to do because the relic weapons are common while the allagan weapons are not. I'm sure the relic upgrades will be tougher and reward lv95 or 100 versions.

It just doesn't make sense that the most epic looking weapons should become obsolete.

Again, they aren't going obsolete, there will be upgrades in the future. But common weapons that everyone already has shouldn't be the best. You could say they dropped the ball in them being easier than SE throught they were, but what would be the point in turn 5 dropping weapons at all when you consider the fact that you need relic weapons to be competitive in that turn, if the allagan weapons weren't an upgrade?

TL;DR: Boohoo, someone complaining that better gear becomes avialable over time in an MMO...

"should have been"

stuff

You're missing the whole point of what I said. I'm saying how things SHOULD have been from the START. Obviously they can't make allagan inferior to relic +1 now that it's allagan that drops from twintania.

I would disagree that it SHOULD have been that way from the start. Dungeons should have drops, not flags for upgrades to stuff you already have.

Discussing what should have been is pointless anyway- coulda, shoulda, woulda. You're basically just complaining that for some period of time you don't have hte best weapon in the game, despite it being easy to get.

Apparently a name is worth more to some.

No, it's because it glows! Shiny loot must be best loot!

Relic weapons should have been harder to obtain. In FFXI it took like a 6months to a year+ to make one (unless you bought Gil).

I really hope SE adds a Mythic Weapon Version to FFXIV but call them Legendary Weapons. And for anyone who doesn't know what those are

I was pretty close to finishing Tizona....... That's what this game needs. I think it would help with the "Lack of Content".

Our Relic Weapons in FFXIV are pretty much the same as a Empyrean Weapon in FFXI.
So there may be some hope.

I guarantee you no weapon will take 6 months to a year to aquire. Ever.

Perhaps, but would it really hurt if there were weapons that took an incredible amount of time to get? We need some actual long-term goals in this game, and I would argue that a quest line that takes roughly 6 months to a year would very much be welcome. I would love to see some actual - epic - pieces of gear, that take some real time to get. It doesn't mean that you HAVE to get these weapons, but it should greatly pay off for those who do get them. Not everyone has to have the ability to get a certain piece of gear, and that's okay.
