Zeta Relic Advantage

I've seen even worse...

Now that's dedication to glamour...

Lol!! That's hilarious.

I should tell our NIN to look this up, he might get jealous and try to one-up this and finish the 2nd relic and glamour the zeta with a zeta.

He would...he made a zeta for one of his retainers....

I agree if when the new relic comes out we don't get to use our zeta for a base and inherit our secondary stats I don't know if I will do another relic weapon. I would hate to see my work on my smn weapon get trashed and my secondary stats revert back to spell speed and acc.

All we know is that those who have finished their relic will be "taken into consideration", which could literally mean anything, including a complimentary set of pink dye or the title "Grind Master". People keep using the word "advantage", even though the developers haven't used that term themselves. "Advantage" and "taken into consideration" can have quite different meanings.

Knowing SE's love of such items, they'll probably just offer relic owners the option to trade in their zeta weapon for a display-weapon to mount on the wall of the house you'll never own.

Unfortunately that's the nature of vertical progression. Current equipment can't stay viable forever or else there'd never be a reason to go get the newest stuff.

Yup! I'm personally a fan of more horizontal progression myself. I loved XI for letting us build crazy gear sets for various situations, and letting us expand on what we already had vs. constantly having to replace FULL sets of gear every few months. It was rough on the inventory, but it just felt so much more detailed and fleshed out. Of course there were some rare items to work towards, but it was nice knowing you could devote your time to getting it, and it wouldn't a complete waste when the latest xpac hits.

i'm hoping that stats can transfer over and maybe give a bonus stat like the GC equipment. Since new jobs wont have the old relic weapon we can throw out the last idea. :'/

If the current Relic line is completely replaced and irrelevant in 3.0 I'll be very upset. I could have spent all those allied seals on GC equip for glamor, rather than F****** Alexandrite.

It's said that ilvl 130 will be relevant up to lvl 55. But don't worry, people with Zeta will get compensated. But how we don't know. But most likely (my personal guess) it will give a headstart in the new 3.1 relic questline.

Since the day I learned that the new jobs won't even have a 2.x relic I stopped with my relic and am now waiting for the Dark Knight which will most likely replace my WAR as a main.

Completely same boat as you. Only thing I'm trying to grind for now is mirrors because those levi weapons are going to be smexy as hell.

I can't imagine any of the current weapons will be relevant at 60. At most they will be decent for leveling.

I'm with the people that think we should keep out secondary stats. I think the new relics should have decent secondary stats but if you took the time and Gil to max out a two stat relic, you should be able to keep those so our relics continue to be BiS.
