Question to Devs about 3.0 new jobs relic weapons

[Twivana]

So I main blm and I have been lvling my summoner so I can switch between the two for whatever job suits better for the fight/trial/raid/dungeon that I am doing.

My question is, When 3.0 is here with the 3 new jobs, are we going to upgrade their relics just like all of our current jobs with the atmas, books, alexandrite, etc etc as well? Or with the new jobs are they going to start differently?

I want to save my atma for DRK but I have been loving summoner alot so I kinda of want to do the relic quests for my summoner. I have asked ppl on my server and they think that it would just start at a certain point in the relic quests so we don't have to start the grind from the very beginning like our current jobs do.

May I please have a response to this? Even if you aren't allowed to provide that info it would be nice.

The most likely outcome is that Relic weapons simply cease to progress once we enter Heavensward, with a new set of weapons being made to take their place and start all over.

I have been told that as well. I just want some kinda confirmation so I can just use the atmas I have right now. I mean I guess I can just farm atmas again since I have half of them it's just a pain X_x

I actually hope the current weapons end at 2.51. There's only so many times a single weapon can be reforged and it's getting overly silly at this point.

I hope so D:

I'm barely through mine and am just soldiering on for the achieves.

I think they'll keep the set and either continue or make a second set. It'd be a bit silly for Square to boost lights and Alexandrite drop rates, only to trash it all in the next few months anyway.

There's too much investment to throw it all away. Perhaps they'll just start giving us +1 upgrades for whatever comes next and we'll call it a day.

The primary reason for making the old phases of farming easier is to keep newer players invested in the game until Heavensward. By lessening the "Oh my god this grind is impossible" factor, they are able to keep more casual and newer players paying and playing until the expansion releases.

Hopefully, you can breakdown the relic weapon and use it as a part for the heavensward weapon.
