Anima Update - Item Level

[mosaicex]

It was a given that it wasn't gonna match raid weapons until the final patch, where it then becomes BiS for everyone

BiS for what though? Last 4 man dungeons?

And arround 70% of Stormblood content. Should last for dungeons from 61 through 67, where it might get replaced by HQ crafted lv66-68 gear or the dungeon drops.

And its useless by then with the next expansion coming its nothing but pandering to the raiders who are a small % of the player pop

Don't think that the two groups are exclusive. I raid, and even have the Shire weapon now; yet I still look forward to the relic quest for a number of reasons. Plenty of other raiders will also be completing their relic quests either for their alt classes, or as a nice back up plan in the case of bad raid rolls.

If it's anything like coming into Heavensward was, the relic will last well into the leveling of the Stormblood expansion. I do agree that further longevity for the weapons are needed though. However, that may not line up with such a vertically progressing game

[Rai_Takara]

Looks like they will be ilvl 260 from looking at the patch notes.

[Zensho]

The next anima quest is called "Future Proof"..... <.<;

I know, right? The ironic sense of naming is so tongue in cheek, I don't know whether to chuckle or just cringe.

[FinaSel]

I was really hoping for 265 at least. Anima weapon will be useless as soon as every raider gets their Alexander weapons and / or augmented shire weapons.

Why does it matter what others have? I showed the timeline on why 260 makes complete sense compared to savage raiders, to anima holders, and those who don't do the anima at-all.

Get into Savage raiding and you'll see why the effort is actually harder and more rewarding than a mindless casual content grind for an anima.
