So what will happen to the Primal Ex's once the Relic upgrade is available?

[jrollins89]

So for about a week now I've been ramming my head against Garuda Ex. As frustrating as it is, I enjoy the fact that there is a legitimate alternative to end-game progression. Right now as opposed to having to save up Myth tombs for 2 weeks to upgrade your relic weapons you can try your hand at the Ex's and in theory have an i90 weapon in a week.

I fear that with the myth cap being removed and with Zebith weapons clearly being a better alternative (as they require no risk to obtain and can be upgraded) that Primal Ex trials will become a ghost town. Assuming that Primal Ex trials are not required for the Zenith Relic weapon upgrades do you believe that Ex Primals will hold any niche if they are present in 2.2 in their current state?

It is likely that the new relic upgrade quest will involve the ex primals.

Imagine killing ex primals on the job you're upgrading relic for.

I do not think that is likely.

[Starlord]

I do not think that is likely.

Why not? Getting one of the best weapon(s) in the game, you'll most likely need to fight something very hard to get the reward. Ex primals is the only likely candidate atm,

Letter from the Producer LIVE Part X Q&A :

Q56: Will the extreme primal battles be part of the main story and/or be tied with the relic quest?
A56: Yes.

Q: Will the extreme primal battles be part of the main scenario or will there be a quest line similar to the one for obtaining relic weapons?
A: Yes, it’ll be part of the main scenario. By progressing through quests you will unlock the first battle, after which you can move on to the next quest and the battle that follows.

sorry but which part it write ex primal need for relic?

Yeah, I have a feeling this will be part of it.

I really hope they will continue letting us use our best classes to earn the weapons. Tanking any extreme gives me the chill.

But realistically, it make senses to force us to actually use the class.

And I actually hope there can be upgrades for extreme weapons also, so there's actually some variety.

that would be easy, isnt it ? a decent amount of ppl (community) have only got 9 weps or are already farm it weekly, so for those ppl to kill garuda, titan, irfrit EM for relic upgrade it will not be a challenge
