Relic Weapons now pointless

[McStagger]

Lets see, to get my Ifrit weapon, I had to run that bastard 30+ successful times. Ifrit is an easy 8-10 minute fight.

Assuming I would have to run Titan the same number of successful times to get my weapon, that should happen sometime around never.

It was significantly easier to down Titan once, even with all the other hoops, that it would be to farm the hell out of him hoping my weapon would drop.

I haven't run Ifrit HM since the update but with the stun nerf I hear that it has just gotten a whole lot harder.

Edit: ha, and I ended up running Ifrit probably 50 times and never did get a PLD sword to drop for me. My first primal-related weapon was actually my relic.

Does it matter? Why bother playing if you want your current gear to be the best there is and will ever be.

Why bother playing if there will always be better and your chasing an illusion?

I don't think you understand how MMO's work

I understand how they work just fine thank you very much. All your ever doing is chasing a carrot on a stick, your never going to have the best items because they will always release better ones later on. The only thing that counts to me is how much fun I have along the way, most MMO focus on vast amounts of boring grind and I can't say ARR is heading is a different direction then most.

If we are chasing an illusion, then you are upset the illusion wont just jump into your hands. how can a game be successful if it spends all its money developing content, if it just hands you the same rewards for doing nothing?

its like if you went to do a holiday event, which could take an hour or so to do.. but then you found a vendor giving out the rewards for 1g. sure you may do the event once just for the experience, then youd just buy the rest of the rewards and go back to toll to do more of nothing.

Relic is easier to get then the two weapons you have described. It only requires you to beat titan once to get, where as you could get really unlucky with drops and never see the titan weapon.(i for one have never been able to get a weapon for a class i have at 50 from the primals. Only one i have is the pld sword and my pld is lvl 15.)

If you don't have a raid group that clears all 5 turns a week then you can get +1 within 2 weeks, which you can then use to try and get the allagen weapon. But good luck on the rng with that one as well.

So with the new update to the game Titan weapons are on par with the normal Relic Weapon and the new updated allagan weapons are better stats then the Relic +1 versions. Is there really any point in having the relic weapons

If you follow the relic quest, Killing titan ONE time guarantees a relic. Good luck farming him for his (Butt ugly) equivalent.

To be fair, the axe looks bloody awesome. I wish all greataxes were that big.
