Relic Items Easily Obtained?

[Medura]

A relic weapon 1-2% have, that gives a class only that weapon got hidden class and spells ftw ^^

What I think is: If something is Epic, it has to be obtained Epicly, no matter what, and killing 3 bosses can be an epic battle afterall =)

Make it hard to get Even if I never get one. I'd hate to see EVERYONE have the awesome weapons

Not really gonna get into details, but keep them incredibly hard to obtain.

NMs, Dungeons, "reputation" points, and overall, having to trade in a TON of 5-materia gear with specific materia required on specific pieces of gear, both of which get harder and harder to obtain as you progress through the quest.

Theoretically, allow us to complete the weapons without ever spending a single gil, but give us the option to speed up the process by emptying our pockets if we so choose.

Keep the entire process incredibly long. If people are running around with complete relic weapons only a few months after their release, you screwed up.

Make it so that when the other 2 instanced raid dungeons comecout every boss inevery instanced raid has a 25% drop rate of an item that if you get 1 from all four diferent dungeons you get to go to Mor dohna tower, try to reach the top through 5 floors of the Garelan empire trying to kill you (just like near horizon and bloodshore, but war hounds start at r 30 and there's 2 times the amount on each floor). Then when you reach the top depending on your item combination a God appears with a 25% drop rate of an item. Now that's hard to get.

I want to be a quest chain and raid and crafters mix

So. You have to to do a big chain of hard quest. But need a rare item (not too much rare) from raid. Once there you will need crafter help to evolve your rare drop into a relic weapon.

But for that you will need

• rare/ex drop from raid.
• rare item which recipe need a NM drop.
• rare/ex item bought from grandcompanys.
• rare/ex item from chain quest

Thats only for one level. Meaby 3 or 5 levels till reach relic.

I hope the relic involve all game content. Not only a infnite repetitive dungeon for ever till reach matts.

Here's an idea.

'Random encounter' world bosses. What would happen is before a world boss spawns in a particular area, their coming is announced by an announcer in all 3 cities. Then any parties that want to take part sign up to it on some kind of task board. They must then travel to the area the world boss was reported to be in and battle it. All parties will take part in it's battle as if one giant party, it could consist of up to 100 or even more people, no real limit, and the difficulty and health of the boss would scale to how many players it had to battle. However a minimum player size would probably be an idea since soloing it would be silly.
Once defeated the boss would give each party a random part of a legendary item. The overall size of the battle party from how many players were involved overall could even dictate if a HQ version of an item part is obtained. The party would have take part in many of these 'random encounter world boss' events that would happen say.... 2 or 3 times a day, maybe 5 times, and get all parts to the legendary item, the bosses would differ in what it was and where it appeared in the world, thus 'random encounter'.
They are then notified when all parts of the legendary item have been obtained by a quest being given to them automatically upon aquiring the final item.
This quest would entail them going to a special dungeon that you could not enter without a completed set of legendary item parts, and once completed, would allow the player with all the items to forge the completed legendary item and wield it.

This would mean that getting a legendary item would take quite a while and be pretty difficult.

Getting a High Quality legendary item would be EXTREMELY hard to obtain, as you'd need to have taken part in very large scale world boss encounters multiple times and had the luck to obtain a full set of the HQ parts to the legendary item. It would also be nice if that high quality version had something slightly different about it's appearance that marked it as 'the legendary of legendary' items. (something like an awesome glow etc.)

This way casual gamers would be able to get legendary items if they spent enough time working towards it, it would still take months though.

Hardcore gamers could get the awesome legendary items though, so both types of players would not be ignored for their dedication to the game.

What do you think? ^.^

I think they should be so hard to obtain in theory that you would be surprised if someone actually got one. That way, it is special and a real goal. I think developers are tending to make it so everyone wins, when in reality, not everyone wins. You have to work hard for the best stuff. I think that principle should apply everywhere, even in games.

Knowing Yoshida, relics will drop from Guildleves.

how about making said items craftable via the bazaar after a lengthy gathering process mentioned in previous posts that way would eliminate any crafters ninjaing your 1337 item
