^ that. The Nexus was equal to High Allagan weapon for about a month. Zodiac Zeta's had a potential of like 11 (?) more secondary points than any respective dreadwyrm weapon as long as they weren't specced into 3 secondaries, so they could actually be better then the current high tier raid at the time. But moreover, the rules you state weren't here at the beginning of the game. It was changed literally because only the most hardcore raiders even cared about BCoB. Relic +1 was exact same item level. I just wonder what caused them to go away from this. When I saw the savage weapon wasn't i215, the only thing I could think of to even rationalize it was that the relic in 3.1 was going to be the direction SE takes for the strongest weapon. The relic weapons were the strongest in FFXI right? This wouldn't be new territory...
