I'm in the exact same position as you, except with a different zeta.
But having the relic be tradeable to help skip for the relic of a different Job is probably not going to happen, nor should it.
It's only really applicable for the new Jobs, but that comes with the territory of going into a Job that doesn't have a relic history.

It would be nice if you can trade it in, don't get me wrong.
But I doubt they'll do that considering there's been no relic catch-up between Jobs before.
I also don't think it makes sense giving a bow as a base for a great sword, and what you did on your BRD shouldn't really mean you deserve something as a DRK.

Regardless, it's just doing the whole new relic quest.
I think we can all assume that the new relic quest won't take as long as making a zeta from scratch.
So the new Jobs didn't really need an option that would've taken longer than than what they're actually skipping.
