Thread: Is it true about RELICS in 3.0?!

"POE-cap isn't being raised/removed because IL130 is a little high in the early stages of Ishgarde. (previous off record interviews mentioned that they'll be relevant up to l55)"

Seems to me ironwork/dreadwyrm will be good for first half of expansion only.

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.

Yes, but if they throw all that out the window, frankly I won't ever bother doing another relic. It's one thing to replace easily acquired tome and dungeon gear, relic is something else. It's so legendary we might as well throw it away? Haha.

If it means so little in HW, I will never trust that a relic quest is worth doing again.

"Just don't do it then!" Yeah, I probably won't. Because apparently "legendary relic" means nothing.

That's just life in MMOs. Every legendary weapon on WoW, which took months to obtain, was replaced by expansion loot, never to be used again. But for the time we used them, they served our purpose. And now we're on to bigger and better things.

When I heard that HW will raise the level cap, I quit my relic grind. We all knew it was coming..

Well, they could've made that further upgrading your Relic would also increase it's lvl usage.
So in the end it would've ended up as a lvl 60 weapon.

But we now know that's not the case.

did you honestly expect anything else? To have thought that the ARR relics would remain important or meaningful in HW, no offense, is just delusional. I am working on my third zodiac weapon right now, fully knowing that I'd be replacing them at some point in HW, because, that's what you do in an rpg. You get gear, you replace gear. ESPECIALLY in an MMORPG. Guess what else, I'll be doing the new relic stuff as well. and I'll expect that those will be replaced as well in the expansion after, cuz that's logic.

Let me phrase it like this then...

I feel sorry for those individuals that don't accept this course of actions.
As personally I feel the same way as you.

But, I guess there was always a chance that the Relic would be replaced sooner or later.

You can keep your sympathy, I'm extremely happy with my BiS Zeta. And considering DW/Ironworks gear will be relevant up to lvl 60 so will Zetas. Plus looking forward to the bonus that completing the zodiac weapon quest line gets you!

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*
