I'm going to go totally sideways and take a huge leap saying that the new relic in 3.0 will be armor not a weapon. Reading the reddit interview with Yoshi when asked about the new armor sets he immediately compares it to the zodiac. If the new relic doesn't fill a new category it almost has to be either redundant with the zodiac weapon or to absorb it. Another large leap but I believe when talking about doing things with the zodiac he has consistently referenced 3.1. It might just be me but if a new relic was started in 3.0 then we convert zeta relics into it in 3.1... I see a lot of people (and I would be one of them) getting very mad if I had been working on the 3.0 relic.
