Heavensward Relic weapons

[Adelard]

Will SE make it worthwhile, when the expansion is out? I have spent many hours grinding my relic weapon to animus so far, and I'd be gutted if you don't get compensated for all the hours you've put in. Will they give you a headstart, even if you haven't fully upgraded your relic weapon?

The compensation is the best weapon in the game.

They have said you will get something but they haven't said what. Most expect it to be a new relic. There's tons of info to be released between now and june. Expect it to ramp up now the final patch has been released. To be fair animus isn't that far ahead. And for the record I'm still on my first novus scroll.

Honestly hoping they continue the Zodiac chain. Spent the entirety of ARR working on it and I'm about to obtain Zeta. I'd love to be able to continue upgrading it throughout Heavensward.

You would need the Zeta weapon to get something like a compensation. Like skipping the first steps of the new relic quest or something similar.

Hopefully they'll answer this (one of my) question(s) in the upcoming live letter:

But surely they understand that even the first steps takes a lot of time. Killing 900 monsters, doing 27 dungeons, 27 leves and 27 fates takes a lot of time and commitment. I don't want to feel like it has been time wasted.

Getting to Animus is very little work in the grand scheme of things. The steps to get to Novus, Nexus, then upgrade it, and then get to Zeta are probably 3/4ths of the work. If having a relic offers any reward in Heavensward (which I imagine will be pretty minor if they do add anything) you will have to complete the quest series which means owning a zeta.

I don't think you understand... you have already been compensated for all your time and effort on Relic... by having the best weapon in the game. The new Mythic coming in Heavensward are for those who didn't get in on Relic or were discouraged by the obnoxious slogs that were atma, books, the obscene melding gil sink, light farming, what have you. Those who have completed the Relic come Heavensward will apparently be getting something for having had the time and gil to finish it. How is this NOT enough for you? This is like all the complaining about Coil as each successive leg of Coil was released. You got the wins, the claims to fame, why all the fuss over who comes after? You're still going to be able to lord over others, how does this make it any cheaper?
