So what the heck?

They kind of have to keep making the 'relic' weapons be 'the best' because of the ridiculous hurdles required to attain the every single upgrade...

And yet I have an Unidentified Allagan Tombstone, so I'm less than 1500 soldiery away from a weapon that's on par with a Novus?

Was gonna use the UAT for my secondary class (Warrior) but now...not sure.

Can someone assure me that the Novus it actually worth it?
Have a look at the stats of the Laevateinn. It might be nice if you have problems reaching the Accuracy caps for Coil but a BML shouldn't have a problem with it anyways. A weapon for a DD should focus on Damage and nothing else so the ACC stat on it is a waste in my eyes, only usable as a temporary solution or as a compromise.

The Relict weapon on the other side is fully customizable and will, as others have stated already in this thread, receive more updates in the Future so if you don't do it, you fall behind with each new update they release and once you decide that you want it, you start from scratch. And if you do not belong to the top raiders who can get the Coil weapon quickly, this will be your best weapon for many months.
