they have already stated 2.0 relic quest line will be made considerably easier for glamour purposes so no they wont be removing the quest unless im mistaken by what they meant

some1 mentioned in a similar post yoshi said relic weapons will be useful til 55 so eithier way we look at it we are all just gonna be guessin til 3.1

i dont mind it was a good into 3.0 as a machinist

Everquest had started with level 50 as the cap, and went to level 60 with its first, second, and third expansions (oddly enough, they figured that if you didn't have one of the other two, the third would do the trick in taking you to 60). Then the fourth expansion brought the level cap to 65. More expansions than not have featured level cap increases for that game.

Gear resets? Well, DUH - ANY expansion, regardless of level cap increase, will be a gear reset. They want you experiencing the new content, and gear is the primary means they have to entice you to it.

I find it slightly annoying the only reward to have grind a Zeta is to make the first step of 3.1 easier. Don't get me wrong, I guess it's nice it's gonna be easier but it does not motivate me to finish my WHM relic because at this stage, it's completely pointless.

What I mean is I've grinded my relic when the grind wasn't nerfed. It won't bother me to skip The Animus to Zeta grind to deal with that extra grind for 3.1 Relic. For my Black Mage, at least, the difference between Dreadwyrm Staff and Lilith Rod Zeta is about 1 int DPS gain. Granted, it helps the none-raiders but nothing more.

I find it increadibly annoying that I won't be able to do anything for Mechanist that I will be behind no matter what on the Relic front in 3.1

i was prepping for mch relic until i read the new jobs wont have 2.0 relics so gatherin dust in my inventory atm lol might use them for my ninja or mayb dragoon since almost 50 but really not sure ;/

Man. I'd love to have seen the relic quest properly continued instead of what it sounds like we're getting ("consideration")

I mean, even just making it so the step of zeta -> new relic requires 1300 of our new 'poetics' OR having the current zeta would be awesome imo. But I worry this consideration will really be a huge slap in the face.

How will you be behind on the 3.1 relic when everyone is in exactly the same position? We don't actually know what completion of a Zeta will grant us; the common belief that it will give an advantage at the start of the new quest is just an assumption by players, it has never been stated by SE.

OP this thread has been created over and over. We get it, some people don't like the fact that their relics will be rendered obsolete in the expansion. It's mostly your own fault for believing it would ever be otherwise though; vertical progression expansions have to reset all progression for players coming into the expansion, else new players will never be able to catch up (which would generally mean few new players at all).

Was it ever confirmed that this is what a completed relic will allow in Heavensward? Was it in the last live letter (I haven't been watching them lately).

I don't recall seeing any statements about what the bonus would be, or even if there would be one. Really, we'd be better off if there weren't one.

Was it same in 1.0? Lvl 80 relic was horrible grind but after 2.0 you get it easily by doing some primals?

Yes, it was exactly the same. They promised the same thing too (that relic progress in 1.0 would transfer to 2.0) and it never happened.
