Thread: Lucis weapons will be usefull for 3.0? ( not sure if i get all )

So, Somebody else posted something in here I thought was hilarious. he said it's a waste to get Luci, but he's getting is Zodiac b/c Ypshi said he won't scrap Relics.

FYI -> Supra / Lucis are crafting Relics.

It's a good question, I'm hoping they continue to get upgraded. when 3.0 comes out, they will either be replaced or upgraded. I'm not chancing it, I'll be getting all of my Luci's before June.

See, that's actually where a misunderstanding occurs. They're not relics actually, at least not something literally implied to be, as there's never been any sort of indication that they are, besides that they're a class/job specific main hand. The quests that you do for the i55 original have zero to do with the weapon, but rather the overall storyline for the craft and you're just given the equip by default. They're basically only a trademark tool, mainly because it's what you see the crafting guild head NPCs use. The "relic" term being applied to the crafting tools is a player-applied term to make it easier to grasp what someone is talking about.

Maybe they will have some use though in the expansion, besides leveling assistance, and since you don't want to chance it, by all means go for it.

Because when expansion rolls around, having all the lucis tools + artisan's gear fully melded WILL indeed grant you an advantage to advancing to the next tier of crafting.
I imagine when heavensward first rolls out, new crafting mats will be very costly. Yet, there will still be people buying them (I hope to be one of those people) to be the server first 5star crafter or whatever and make money on monopolizing the market for a short while. and having the best tools will probably let you get away with having to use a little bit less of them.

If somebody's simply uninterested in that, and don't mind waiting a few weeks to progress then by all means, skip Lucis. But if you intend to compete in the race to the top, then you might as well get'em all.

Besides, there are still 3 months left and if you can't see a way to make back that 2-3million you'll have spent on it in 3 months, your crafting is not very profitable. (No right or wrong answers there, some people don't craft for profit and I understand that, but that's my main motivation and I think lucis is definitely worth the trouble with 3 months to go)

That's right... but semantics are important to understand, otherwise, as I stated in the very first sentence, a misunderstanding occurs. I'm not arguing the advantages of having it (again, as I stated already in that reply). I'm stating that there's not going to be some continued reason to have it besides leveling advantages, unlike the actual relic weapons, which is what the person I quoted was saying. Not entirely sure why you think semantics aren't important when the misused term itself was the very reason for doing something LOL. It'd be like me claiming the i55 crafting armors are "relics" and because Yoshi-P said that relics will have some form of continued existence in Heavensward, you should keep them around. Nor am I clear on why you think I'm saying that the Lucis gear won't provide leveling advantages.

Yeah that was me but I made the comment about the Relic in addition to the convo about Luci as I thought both were related as far as people wondering about the future of Lucis. In my guess, if they aren't going to leave the main Relic users in the dust, it stands to reason that they may take care of the crafters as well.
