About relic weapon...

[Gallus]

Have they said what's gonna happen to the secondary stats of our relic weapons?
Is it safe to assume our customized secondary stats (from the Novus questline) will carry over onto the next relic quests? If so...this brings me to another question...what secondary stats will the relic quests from those who start the relic in Heavensward have? Fixed? Or will they be able to customize them either?
I'd be pretty pissed if after all the gil sink from the Novus quest my relic weapon goes back to having fixed secondary stats in HW.

Maybe that is what's going to be easier for zeta owners? Secondary stats already in place. Non-zeta and DRK/AST/MCH jobs have to do that silly stuff to get the secondary stats they want. Just a speculation.

Nothing has been said concerning Relics other than "Players who have completed the relic quest line will receive consideration". There's tons of speculation on what that might be, but nothing more than that has been said. Everything is just rumors at this point.

Who knows if the current 'best' stats will even be useful in Heavensward? Maybe Skill Speed and Spell Speed (looking at you, SMN!) will finally be some of the most useful.

One more reason why they should keep allowing for customizable stats. What was optimal PRE HW might not be so optimal POST HW, so people might want to change them. Btw I don't main SMN, I main SCH...and my relic has accuracy. I doubt HW SCH relic would have accuracy if it were to have fixed secondary stats.

ARR's relic =/= HW's relic

So no, you won't have your stats. Maybe you'll get to skip the "kill x mob with your shitty weapon" quest.

Current relics I believe will be seperated from the Heavensward one to give people a chance to start asfresh, I do believe the latest rumour for doing the previous Relic quest is to skip an early stage of the new one.

I'll find it pretty insulting if that's the case. Baiting people to spend millions on the Novus questline only to reset the secondary stats back to default will almost feel they are mocking relic quest users. But we will see.

I have a feeling half of those people asking this kind of questions are new to MMORPGs. It's an expansion, older stuff will most likely be useless at lv 60. You get your relic and use it in 2.X, and up to some point in 3.X (or skins if you wish). It's almost like saying farming FCoB for Dreadwyrm is insulting because there will be new gear in Heavensward.

New expansion, new stuff.

[Allyrion]

It's implied the Zeta will help you get the new weapon(maybe skip some steps). That's all really.

I have little doubt the stats won't carry over at all because it's an entirely new weapon, not a continuation.
If there'll be stat customization along the new weapon line is a different matter.
