Suggestions Relic Weapons

[blackwolfx9]

Hi

I notice that now the relic weapons goes as far as ilvl 135 just like dreadwyrm weapons, making the whole " end game weapon irrelevant " and players having an end game weapon and don't even go to final coil.
So my suggestion is: The next relic upgrade maybe on the expansion "like relic ilvl 150"
The only way we can get the relic to ilvl 150 is to go to the last instance (dungeon) "something worst then bahamut I gess" to get 3 items needed to upgrade the relic to ilvl 150, it only drops 1 at the time and have a 50% chance or lower to drop (no need, greed and repeat item). But even if the fight drops a weapon the relic will become the end game weapon, making players fight and work for the best weapon in the game.

I know its a little sketchy, and I know I'm going to get a lot of flame.
I know you'll have to go to alot of extreme boss fight and all to upgrade to ilvl 135, but with static groups many players are given a "ride" get a relic to ilvl 135.

As a relic user I would sorta have to agree....The Dread had max 3 months of shelf life and that's if you even obtained it in time I feel like once I obtain my ZZeta(I've down'd 13 5 times ) I will have nothing ''end game'' wise to look forward to unless 2.55 brings some sort of mini 8 man raid or EX primal that's just out of this world. I don't agree however on no reason to actually clear final coil while I see there isn't a direct incentive aside from a title and the armor that still drops there. There is a sense of pride and I can see it even in people who still make T9 phase 4 parties etc etc. I suggest relics continue as I know they will be def make them come from fights and epic encounters aswell

Without regard to the way in which weapons are obtained... the one nice thing SE has done is make each weapon respectable and unique in it's own right. Speaking from a BLM perspective.. one staff may benefit a caster going for Spell Speed whereas another may benefit in CRIT, DET or ACC. This makes players think and adjust many aspects of their gear composition. It's not the same for everyone.

I have 130 Ironworks gear but my crafted gear still shreds it. My crafted weapon is better than my Novus. But my Novus has spell speed and my Ebony Staff has ACC. I need light for my Novus. Fun times trying to figure out which I'll run based on Trial/Raid I'm doing. I kind of like it and I kind of hate it at the same time.

I disagree with this completely. What I would like to see is relic specific content, not forcing people into hardcore endgame raids. I had to start up a scob group just in hopes of getting back into fcob with a decent group. The reason why they haven't already made relic drops from coil is because, pre-nerf, it's not going to be abe to be done fast enough. You want a 50% or less. Ok, so from what I understand, you want to add anot her element to an already messed up rng set-up, on content you can only do once a week, and have it drop 3 separate items? Um.... no thanks, we already have way too much rng reliant content.

Why is it, that people who complain the most about end game content never actually have reached said end game content?

OP, perhaps you should spend more time on "gittin gud", rather than stuff outside your realm of experience

Lol, she got no clue, or its an alt. Either way, gear is a joke, wouldn't even be able to properly dps during a raid without them crOSS class skills.

I need to check the lodestone a bit more often

And, honeslt, it's not going to change anything, except rmt business. You think people have the experience, skill, a group, or the gil to go through 13? That's laughable, half the people on the game can't even beat titan. And groups on balmung are already selling 13, just left there recently. So, being unable to beat t13 through skill or because of a lack of a group, they would have no choice but to buy it. Do you really think it's cheap for a t13 carry? T12 was 40 mil, so 13 would be ungodly. Jenova has a lack of sellers, thought about maybe starting something up

I started playing less then 30 days ago, i got friends doing T13 and updating me on whats happening, besides I'm gearing faster than the average player and have a decent DPS (even with this 110 gear) with a BARD, I don't have end game gear and all the classes at 50 because sometimes I sleep, eat and play other games.
I wasn't trying to make a point, it was just a opinion.

disagree 100%

relics should be the best weapons, and their current design on how to obtain them is exactly where it should be and beyond
