Thread: Is it true about RELICS in 3.0?!

You'll probably be able to do the same quests and stuff, they might only buff the drop rates for atmas/zodiac/alex items or increase the amount of "lights" you get. They should make it so you only need 1 book/stat after you get your Atmas. However, it kinda helps to populate low level dungeons too. I'm not sure about Alexandrite though. How can you even nerf that? The only thing that comes to my mind, is basically giving you a shit ton of these. The Materia prices will probably drop a lot with the new tier 5 soon to be implemented.

I feel sorry for those people who have spent hours, days, weeks, months on their Relic Weapons, and many of them several Relic Weapons.
But, I guess there was always a chance that the Relic would be replaced sooner or later.
Good thing for the new people that recently jumped into FXIV, as they don't have to feel all to left out with the new exp and a "fresh start" when it comes to gearing up.
I hope the "compensation" from owning a fully upgraded Relic in 2.x will be somewhat acceptable by the community.

They mentioned that people who DID complete the relic would be "taken into consideration," with no details further provided.

Also, the new relic isn't coming until 3.1, which is at LEAST a month to two months after launch. So the old relics will remain relevant for at least that long, as they've ALSO said our dreadwyrm/ironworks gear will "keep" a little longer than we're expecting.

Hm... I wonder if I have time then to do SMN relic... and another one, maybe ninja or scholar.

I farmed double atmas cause first I thought new jobs would have base relics but now it looks like they don't. *sadface*

I also thought that the new jobs would have the 2.x relics, even if only for glamour.

Why? Gear is meant to be replaced. It's just a stepping stone to allow you to tackle harder content and acquire better gear. We got our relics, our relics served their purpose, and now we're replacing them with something better.
