    Two Relics in Heavensward?

    For those who’d rather not dabble in raids, however, or just enjoy the typical MMO grind need not worry. Heavensward will have new relic weapons alongside the level increase to 60 which – according to Yoshida – won’t be nearly as difficult to obtain as the current Zodiac weapon line. The new relic will likely also see something around the timing of Patch 3.1 to increase its power – similar to the current Zodiac. “However, the Zodiac weapon is still for whoever wants to use it,” said Yoshida. “The players do have choices of other weapons that might be easier to obtain than others.

    uwot Yoshida?

    So we'll have the Zodiac and the 3.0 Relic at the same time?

    Does this mean we can skip Relic 3.0 and continue with our Zodiac?

    Can we have/own both Relics at the same time and upgrade them simultaneously?

    What will be the differences between Relic 3.0 and Zodiac?

    You are misinterpreting it. He is just saying that there are other weapons for you to use, besides Zodiac weapons. There are primal weapons, tome weapons and raid weapons. All of which have their own upgrades.

    There were three upgradable weapons in XI (Relic, Mythic, Empyrean.) I don't see why this is such a big deal.

    Nice, the new Relics come from Retainer Ventures?

    I mean, current Relics are a joke to obtain, just RNG is frustrating. Short of obtaining them the same way we got the current ones during the final days of 1.0 I can't think of many ways for the new ones to be easier...

    What I understood is that you'll have the current relic which won't go further than Zeta, and they'll introduce a new one in 3.0 that has nothing to do with the current one.

    Best thing about this is that it FINALLY proves many of us right that the previous interview mentioning this was widely mistranslated on Reddit. We had all of this info months ago already but the first translation posted was taken at face value despite many errors. The number of arguments on this board between people citing the mistranslation as evidence and those of us pointing out the error...

    When he says that players will still have their zodiac if they want to use it, I think he is referring to the new weapon using 'zodiac' as a generic term for the evolving weapon. Players will have the choice to develop the new weapon if they want to or otherwise use one of the many other, more easily obtained, weapons. At the end of the day the current relics were, for the most part, about glamour. The customisable stats may allow for a more optimal build but overall the difference between relics and other weapons of the same iLvl is negligible. I imagine it will be the same with the new one.

    This

    Zeta is the Final grind of 2.0 patch; 3.0 onwards will have a different set of relics which from that statement will be easier to obtain

    Wasn't it in one of the interview with Yoshi about those who already have the Zeta won't be abandoned in 3.0 or something?

    I have a feeling we'll have double relics. For those who have completed the Zeta, we'll get higher forms of it. For those who don't have the relic that high and would like one that high, they'll get the new relics. But odds are the new relics, like the original form of the old ones, will have set stats, with a good chance the stats won't be customizable until around 3.3. I personally welcome this, as I can keep going with the SCH and MNK relics, but bring all my other classes up to the new par with the new relics.
