Anima Update - Item Level

[vigioX-Sun]

Easy step to upgrade to 260,like 5 items 1800 stones or a weekly run of something.
Next step is a grind leaving the weapon at 270
We getting those 2 steps on this patch.
That's my prediction.

I expect an i260 Relic quest this patch. Then an i275 Relic quest in either 3.5 or 3.55. I only expect those two upgrades, TBH - I do not expect some intermediary step somewhere.

[Azper]

I'd guess 260-265 for this patch and then ending at 275 in 3.5 most likely.

[Dzian]

just to be different. i'm going to say 250.

I don't think they'd want to obsolete Sophia drops this quick into a patch.

My friend here would like to say hello.

The anima weapon progression, if I recall, has been:

170->180->200->210->230->240

It alternates between 10 and 20 iLvl jumps, and the next step in the pattern is a 20. Zo we should get i260 tomorrow, i270 for 3.5, and likely i275 from 3.55 if we go off of the Zodiac progression.

Agreed. <3

Non-raiders who kept up with A12N are close to getting enough gears for the stone for the tome weapon which is 260 anyways.

They invalidated the horde weapons from the start of 3.3 with the reconditioned anima. It's going to be 260 or 265. 3.55 will be the victory lap to 275 to match the Alexandrian Weapons, just like Zodiac Zeta in 2.55.

A lot has changed since then, Gordias Savage happened and removed a lot of incentive to raid because the 210 anima step matched the A4S weapon. Since then they made it a point that the raid weapon will be the strongest of the tier. There was no i245 anima, you had to get the weapon from A8S.

Nope. Close, but you have an extra step in there.

I170->i200->i210->i230->i240

To get i170 you had to hand in a Zeta or do the FATE grind.
To get i200 you had to run ten dungeons.
To get i210 you had to collect a bunch of stuff and hand in for four pieces to hand in to Gerolt.
To get i230 you had to hand in 5 Aether Oils (CT weekly, or 1800 lower tomestones).
To get i240 you had to do the Sand/Umbrite grinds.

Additionally, ARR Relic went i80, i90 (+1 or Zenith), i100 (atma), i100 (animus - no ilevel increase), i110 (novus), i115 (nexus), i125 (zodiac), i135 (zeta).
