Thread: 3.0 Relic Weapon Idea

As many know, it was recently said in an interview that the Zodiac questline will continue into 3.0 (but not until patch 3.1). A lot of players love this (they worked hard to earn their relics) and a lot of player do not (they believe its too hard for new players to join the relic questline). Here's my idea to hopefully make everyone happy (likely not possible - but it's worth a shot).

Completing the 2.0 relic in entirety grants the relic a beneficial "perk" (double attack +1% or something of the sort).

In 3.1 - even players without a relic can boot up the quest to earn the 3.1 weapon. The players without a fully completed 2.0 relic can earn a relic that is identical to the completed relic that 2.0 relic owners have (item level, DMG, etc.) EXCEPT for the beneficial "perk" (and the ability to modify stat arrangements per materia melding). Once a player earns a 3.1 relic, if they want the 2.0 perk, they can go back to the 2.0 content and take their 3.1 relic through the 2.0 upgrade quests (atma, animus, novus, nexus, zodiac, etc.).

3.0 will grant a unique perk, so will 4.0, so on and so on. Basically each expansion adds an additional perk to the relic but you're able to skip to the most recent relic (starting relic quest of a new expansion) of your choice if you ever fall behind).

Thoughts?
