The Relic Weapons

[Ootarion]

relic is the ultimate weapon in the game that can be obtained without raiding , it is supposed to be difficult to get , otherwise it will be just like any other weapon without any sense of achievement

Im assuming then that Raid weapons are better then any level of the Relic weapons? Even the highest possible (Reconditioned Anima)?

best Raid ilevel = best Relic ilevel +5 (currently it is ilevel 245 for best raid weapon and ilevel 240 for best relic weapon)
If better or worse depend of the secondary stats on the raid weapon.

Also you don't need ilevel 70-130 relic questline to start the anima weapon questline (start with ilevel 170).
