So, Soldiery Weapons

[axemtitanium]

Weathered Yagrush (i100) has better itemization than Thyrus Animus (i100), so it's the better choice. If Novus (i110) customization is worth a damn, it might be better than Yagrush (i110) but we'll have to see. That said, Yagrush is almost guaranteed to be a damn sight faster/easier to obtain than any Novus weapon owing to the atma and myth farm, regardless of what the Novus questline includes.

Unless you're not able to get a group to beat T7 and (hopefully) obtain the required item for the weapon upgrade. In that case, farming for atma and myth is a better choice while you do get a group together.

This is all really good info guys! I had forgotten that CT2 will give us Unidentified tomes and Sands.

Makes me wonder if we'll have more dropped weapons that scale to the higher relic levels.

As a smn I originally looked at it and said I want that.

However, my personally reason is that I love the relic quest. I'm not saying I liked farming atma or myth, but the ongoing work to obtain a more and more powerful weapon that eventually is customizable as soon as next patch, apeals to me more.

This is one thing I like about the game. Both paths are viable, and both appeal to ddferent people.

im going the solidery weapon route > high allagen on my bard

while on my 2nd main i'll be doing relic ( scholar )

I have got bard and mnk soldier weapons because i am raiding as bard and monk same time (t6-t8 as bard, t7 as mnk). 3 weeks each weapon

My bard is ilvl 101 and my monk 94. Now, i'll spend my soldier tomestone in gear that increase slightly my dps but not as the weapon.

If i had choose the animus version i would need 1500 myth x 18 = 27000. 27000/ 50 each brayflox run = 540. It's insane

I am not sure myself either. Sure future updates i imagine Atma being better then what it is now but as it stands the weapon purchased with soldiery is better then Animus. Blm anyhow, not sure about the other classes. Unfortunately i did got the Atma route for my Bard
