Thread: Will the current Relic quest line be relevant in 3.0?

What do you guys think? I've began collecting alexandrite and atma in preparation for Dark knight's release in 3.0. But then it dawned on me...will these new jobs even HAVE this quest line? What would be the point if these weapons are meant for level 50 jobs when the level 60 weapons will most likely be far superior?

I personally am hoping they stay, if 3.0 involves a de-evolution of relics I would be pretty pissed (considering the time/gil sink). But saying that, I see a lot of players believing that relic/zodiac will be irrelevant in 3.0 which doesn't make sense if Ishgard is an actual expansion to the current world/system. A bit late in the 2.0 cycle to introduce a Calamity type nerf although 2.5 might address this and actually give us a clear answer on relics in 3.0.

It'd be interesting if only the "original jobs" had these relics, but then clearly Ninja got them too, so it kinda takes the magic out of that..

I don't think it's a good idea to collect those things for dark knight. Why would expansion jobs make you do 2.0 content in the old zones. I was expecting a new kind of super weapon for new jobs.

Maybe it's optional? You can start a new Relic quest Line but if your continuing it with your old job you can infuse your old relic weapon into the new one and thus have your stats on the new one and if your doing it with the New Jobs you have a choice of doing it from scratch or a certain point in the Relic quest line and catching up will be quicker.

I'd like a answer to this question as well. I'll have 2 Zodiac weapons and 1 nexus weapon come 3.0. I hope ES has some plans in place to keep the relic upgrade quest going after 3.0 hits. Otherwise, I'm not sure what "US" relic user will do. I'm not sure how long I'll stick around without any weapons to use.

I'm pretty confident that they'll continue with the relic quest line...but if they'll continue to start from the beginning with zenith is the real question. Will the new jobs start off at lvl 60 completing new zodiac quest lines...or will it be something new entirely. I believe the relic weapons have great relevance. If I remember correctly, the total number of stat points for the relic weapons are greater than any other weapon of equal ilvl...it's just a pain in the butt to complete them. I really do appreciate the benefits of the relic weapons themselves, such as the zodiac weapons being the only weapons in the game that can be dye'd. And I hope it stays that way.
