Double EXP?

[Garlyle]

Sorry, but I don't agree with your advice at all in regard to telling new people to start their relic. That's going to be a huge waste of time considering we're getting a brand new relic quest in an upcoming patch.

Doing the initial relic quest at 50 - yes, just the initial step - still gets you an i80 weapon that will be useful for quite a while. It's also super, super easy. Unless the new equipment drops added to the 2.1-2.55 series of events makes up for it; but even then it probably won't until later and you'll still benefit from having a better weapon.
