New Relic Progression

[Shadowkept]

I think the biggest thing for me is getting that sense of accomplishment. And right now it's lacking for me in the Relic quest chain. It's almost a foregone conclusion that given enough time you will get your next Relic stage completed, so when you complete your Animus or Nexus or w/e stage you're currently on it's anticlimactic. Sure, you're happy to be done with that stage, and have the final product for w/e reason glamour, functionality, or because you're a completionist, but there is also this pseudo buyer's remorse that wonders if it was all worth it, or will it ever be worth it in future stages.

If the content progression was engaging and fun and not recycled and repetitive the end result wouldn't be such a big question mark on the risk/reward scale. I'd more happily settle for a 2nd best or even a glamour only weapon, if the progression to achieve it was fun and challenging.

I got my Ragnarok last night. I am also on T13 progression, and this axe is the best weapon I can get until we not only clear T13, but the Axe drops (which could take weeks or months). The Ironworks axe is not worth the 1300 Poetics and its a waste of a twine to make it 130.

Sometime in 2.5 there will be another Relic quest to make it 135...which makes it the absolute best Axe I can get. No regrets from me for doing this quest.

I still remember how it took 25 runs of T5 untill our BLM saw his weapon, this was after lockout removal but when lockout was in place it would have meant 25 weeks of not seeing it. For this reason keeping relic up to date is extremely useful even if you are already clearing final turn, atleast as an tank/healer as you are mostlikely last in tome weapon priority.
