    Yes, I do know why. I was around in 2.0.

    But second coil is about to end as being the newest endgame raid. So it looks like they're gonna be letting people replace HA a bit early.

    If 2.38 is another set of hoops to jump through and there was no ilevel increase for it, few would do it.

    Read the OP much? The question asks about the next upgrade. The answer is different however, and only mentions the next part of the story for the relics is in 2.38.

    Not when it says next step in the story. It could be MANY things, including an upgrade, but an upgrade is unlikely. I know how much people want Relics to be on par or better than end game weapons, but they have already confirmed they won't be.

    For weapons, the strongest items will be those dropped from the Great Labyrinth of Bahamut, and we have a created a clear path for progression through content and gear. When you're level 50 you can clear a scenario and go after a good primal weapon. Once you have that, you can challenge the Crystal Tower, and get items from there. After that, challenge the Great Labyrinth of Bahamut. The difficulty of content and the strength of items will follow this order, going up and up. Both primal weapons and relics will have their own place in this hierarchy, and primal weapons are not at the top.

    They said this in ffxi as well and the quested weapons ended up being top gun in most situations.

    There is a way to put relics on par or better then the raid weapons. It's simple and I am sure that most raiders would be fine with the suggestion.

    As it currently stands casuals can get the relics that are behind the HA. All you do is add an item that drops of the final encounter that upgrades the relic to 115. Then you have to beat the final dungeon to get the final form.

    How does it work for the casual? How will they continue the quest?

    Once the new content comes out they make a quest that gives them the item they would have received for beating turn 9. This way the can still progress but, still not have the top weapon w/o beating the new content.

    Casuals will always have to wait for new content to get a weapon that is on par with end game unless, they beat the end game content.

    This also gives the hard core gamers a customizable weapon and something to push for. So its a win win
