Thread: 4.0: a new start for the relic?

4.0 is a bit far off, but I can se SE doing something like that. Though hopefully if they do the whole trade in thing, it's actually worthwhile. I'd have loved it if my Zeta skipped crafted mats part instead of the easy crystal part. I felt a bit cheated when I traded in my Longinus Zeta.

It's more likely that they will follow a similar model with the next expansion. However, it seems a bit early days to talk about it. If it's a question of whether it's worth investing time in a relic that you won't need in the next expansion, then there is never a good time to do a relic (or in fact getting any gear) because there will be a new one around the corner.

Well you can always wait because the relic gets nerfed into the ground. There were people doing 2.0 relic when HW launched to get the last step. It wasn't that bad that people were asking if they should do all the steps to skip the first. You can wait and then decide. Then again I did not do the old relic and just did the crystal grind. It took me 12 hours of playtime to get all the crystals. It wasn't that bad.

Honestly if you ask yourself will relic be worth doing in 4.0 vs now I'm not sure. Right now it's glorified glamour unlike in 2.0 when it almost was a requirement for a while for endgame early on. You can get a tome weapon in 7 weeks vs the current relic which may take the casual player months, it still may not be best in slot as of yet for some clssses. Also I have all the beast tribes maxed out with rep and that has helped me. It's not required for relic but makes it alot easier. I know as a new player you may not have that yet so it's something to consider.

I will be sad if we really do have to consume or toss it for 4.0 D: she is finally talking to me. She is alive T.T
