No materia slots on hyperconductive anima!?

[GutsyBoozetank]

Someone please explain to me why they did this? Why should I waste time and effort on a weapon with no materia slots when in two weeks I can get a hellfire/torrent/slipstream weapon that is just as good with 2 materia slots? Why are they making the relic weapon so useless? Are they going to change this or just leave the relic as a shitty reminder of how much time and effort you wasted on this garbage?

Apparnetly the 230 version's current secondary stats are increased as if you put in materia for those stats. I believe this also means whatever stat is the higher one actually goes past the usual cap? Not sure on that. As well 3.3 upgrade will have stats you can choose apparently, though we won't know the exact details till it comes out.

Makes me sad...the Ninja Anima already has inferior stats to the Lore weapon and it doesn't even get materia slots :-(

Hyperconductive Nothung gas already capped CRIT and DET, so unless you want to meld Parry lol, is not a significative lost, at least for DRK

The reason is likely because the relic is always evolving and upgrading that adding materia that would fall off each time seems counterintuitive to the design.

More relevantly though is that relic will be getting start customisation in 3.3 making materia melding redundant

That didn't seem to stop them from adding materia slots to the i230 lore item, and besides. That would help the materia economy a little more.

Also they could just make it so the materia's didn't fall off when upgrading, problem solved. Now add those slots I want!

I'm sorry but you are coming off as rather entitled in this post, and you failed to acknowledge the second half of my post, which is the main reason why this isn't a thing. The relic is a different method of progression in that the "materia slots" will be built into the weapon itself via the quest. This is why it has no materia slots, as in a few weeks they will become redundant.

Fool......
Actually look at multiple relics compared to their Lore counterparts.
The secondary stats on the relics are elevated.
Material was accounted for.
Posts like these are part of why the devs don't respect our opinions.

Its capped stats atm also it is said that the 240 coming in 2.3 will be customisable (or however that word might be spelled) so... any point in NOT getting 5 Aether Oil?
For me atm all the Pie on SCH relic is a pure troll but it will be a bit until I get A8S weapon I guess...
