Relic quest Vs. Future Weapons?

[Horobi]

My guess is they'll add a quest which allow to skip to the i125 zodiac at expansion, so you'll be a or two step behind those who completed the relic before AND without the option of customize your stats. This way the old relic users will still have something to show for.
It'd be easy to make up a quest with a "use this unfinished excalibur to slay THIS or THAT boss", alike to chimera or hydra back then.

Why I'm saying the i125 version? Because no glow, like the original i80 relic.

I don't see this happening but worth a shot what if they make it Atma = lvl 52 weapon, animus = lvl 54, novus = lvl 56, nexus = lvl 58 and zodiac = lvl 60. But they will still keep ilvl. I can also see them making the stages way easier to complete. This would make it all relevant in 3.0 also put people who started relic quest some place in the stage of the quest, also I'm thinking some of it not most of the lvl 50 dungeons scale from 50-60 this way will have less they have to create for PPl to lvl in come 3.0.

Considering the stats could be modified, unlikely there will be "without the option of customize your stats".
Moreover, every stage is a quest that has it's own story and CS, I think dev would not remove them.

Is the Relic Quest worth the time and work when you can just get the a different weapon e.g. Final coil? Just wondering, because I don't want to put all this time and effort in then a few patches later a weapon that beat the Relic hands down comes out...

I would suggest just keep doing Relic Quest, as you've mentioned "Relic Quest", do it for the Quest! ^^;

I want to believe Relic +6, bc if they fast track it at xpac time, I and everyone else who took the grind to heart (2% atma farming fml, books for 1200 myth >X) will feel duped.

ur already duped mate. I spent 18 hours searching for east shroud atma back in the day. Recently done full nin atma in a few hours. Animus book? np do 4 akhm. Alexandrite? np u get one from seals for killing 5 A ranks ( not to mention the ones u find between A ranks from fates with boosted drop rate ). Nexus nerf was extreme. I really burnt out on original nexus, but was walk in the park when I done it post nerf.

Best advice is try to feel like relic is worth it for the use you make of it right now. Everything in FF becomes useless, eventually. I don't see why relics can't fall into this category also.

I did feel a little duped when atma/light/alex drops were increased, but I wouldn't of waited had I known, it was awesome having a 44 crit/ 25 det/ 6 acc Bravura at my disposal when novus was BIS.

I hope they just make the drop rate one and done so new players and old people coming back can catche up. all the lore and none of the hasle. pluse 60gear will make all pre expansion useless or sub par. thats just how mmos tend to work
