What should the new Ex Primal drop?

[FeliAiko]

The relic weapon will likely be either i205 or i210, no one's going to farm their ass off for a weapon that's on par with what they already have.

If it isn't i200 then i205 will be best bet, but not i210. The relic has only ever been on par with the current raid weapons whenever we were close to a new patch that would out-date said weapon. So i200/i205 on launch, then upgradeable to i210 after, say, 3.18 is more likely.

This is probably correct, yes. I'm assuming we'll be customizing stats for the very first stage this time, resulting in a weapon that's probably i205. They might go for an all around longer quest chain, though, time gated in some fashion perhaps, that would culminate in an i210 weapon around 3.18 without an extra stage. They've had more time to plan the relic this time, so things might be less disjointed. We'll see in a few weeks!
