Relic Weapons now pointless

[Versiroth]

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

It's no the size, but the style. I love both the Ifrit and Garuda axe... but I'm not a fan of the big chunk of rock that is the Axe of Crags.

The RNG on Allegan weapons sucks. Once a week for a 1/9 chance. For those that took 30+ tries to get a primal weapon, that'd be more than half a year to get the Allegan.

One of our groups just received their FIFTH scholar book from Twintania. I'll take my guaranteed +1 while I wait, thanks. My own group has multiple bows and monk fists. It's all random.

[Desia]

Is this still true? Or did they do something to balance it out?

[Slowburn]

Anybody doing T5 probably won't want you if you dont have a +1 therefore it will still be needed.

Not relying on RNG and having better stat allocations makes the regular Relics better for me.

I'm not doing Twintania and have no hopes of beating the EM primals, anyway, so to me the +1 is useless.

[Kallera]

You think relics are pointless? Try the sarnga, or the giantsgall weapons.

My relic+1 makes a cool noise when I use it, glows and has little sparkles chasing after it so yes, it was totally worth it. It'll be a while before I get my Allagan weapon as I still need to gear up to attempt T5.

I just wanna know where I can get my Elder Staff for my BLM, like what EM drops it, or what questline points me in that direction :/

Does this help?
