So... Relic weapons stuck at lv 115 and new lv120 weapons are coming?

[aerolol]

WTH is the reason behind this?

Or did I just miss some important part of the patch notes?

I think they're trying to make Relic weapon always a month or two behind, so that people who runs endgame get their hands on the higher tier weapon first.

Well, the point OP is trying to make is that you won't need to run any end game to build enough poetic currency to get your i120 weapon. It would only take a couple of weeks of capping it.

And it is a little bit concerning.

I don't like how the do-nothing-to-get weapon is sorta beating the grind-like-a-zombie weapon. :I

You can only get the tomestone to acquire the weapon with Poetics via FCoB. So that weapon will be purely obtainable by raiders until 2.5 or whenever.

Ah right, I actually completely forgot about that. Woops!

While I know the likelyhood of this is slim. I level my relics in hopes that someday, one day, all this zombie grinding will be worth it lol although I know there will always be a weapon slightly above it. You never know

relics need to be gone rather sooner then later, The disasters of Relic/Mythic/Empyrean weapons in FFXI... just dont do the same mistake again and let Relics die rather sooner in this game pls.

I just broke the 800 light mark. Some of us aren't ready for another upgrade yet. Remember when they held off Novus becaus most people weren't finished with Animus yet?

That's not really the point, though.

It's about the raid gear always being a step ahead of the relics. That content (raiding) wouldn't be as relevant to do if there wasn't incentive to do it (superior gear).

If all we needed to do was brainless grinding for our gear, what fun would that be?

We also just got the last upgrade step in the last patch. Give people time to complete the current step before introducing even more.

[Galactimus]

And the new ilevel is going to be i130 with i135 weapons.
