Novus Vs the Un-Weathered Weapons...what gives?

[Evangela]

I'd rather do my works in real life and make money instead of those relic quests.

For what? Interesting for me
I have
- private fc with small house
Want
- crafting facilities - 600-800k each in my world
- train chokobo to rank 20 - onion seed costs 2m in my world
- private house in addition to fc's one - 1m.?

What's further?

[DeceptionsWrath]

I'm currently @ animus stage with my relic and it sure is a lot of work. Honestly not even sure if it's worth it. People seem to be forgetting how much work/gil there is in the relic from animus to the novus. 6 Hours of spiritbonding and only one tierIV det materia. Just wondering why SE would even add such a stupid process. This clearly helps the RMTs. I mean who isn't buying the RMT materia from the marketboard to finish their Novus?

it took me twice (or 3 times) the time to make the Novus than the time I actually used it until I got High Allagan...
if I knew I would have stick with the Soldier weapons

Relic Weapons > Weathered Weapons

End of Story

I still on Dragoon Animus (13/75) and it seems i just wasted UAT on a useless Weathered Upgraded DGN weapon. The only useful thing the weapon can do is skill speed to rape my TP or give it to my retainer for a big iLv boost for rare items....50% i get Furniture, 20% random gears but 100% a random Fish because she is a Miqo'te -.-
