I think its rather lame how relics work in this game just because of past complaints

[Kaliesto]

Why even call them relics at all when its always weaker than gear that isn't really legendary?

The newest Skysteel Tools that are "supposed to be legendary" are kind of pathetic to once again Market Board green gear. I think they need to stop slapping on the name "relic" and just give the gear a new name at least because the weapons and other gear surely isn't legendary.

I don't know what specifically happened back in the days of ARR and HW to make this kind of strange shift, but I don't really agree with it.

Ilvl 500 weapons too weak?

They give you a 485 weapon free and then you only have to do 60 fates and it becomes i500. You literally don't have to step inside a raid and your weapon is almost on par with the Eden weapon.

It's brilliant. And the ilvl 495 armour is great for all your alt classes you can't get raid or tome armour for. It's well worth getting

Take the Edenchoir Fork; that isn't a legendary weapon, but for odd reason its ilvl and stats are higher than the current relic.

You would think the Edenchoir Fork should be called a relic instead.

I just take issue what they call a relic when it apparently its 2nd rate, and especially the current crafting/gathering tools.

You aren't going to get gear better than savage drops by doing casual, grinding content. It's really great they put in weapons that are so close

As I said earlier I just take issue on what Devs call a "Relic", if its supposed to be legendary then its stats should be top of the line, but this is never the case.

If anything the savage gear consistently was always the best, and you think that gear should be called Relics instead.

I just take issue with the classification more than anything.

Relic isn't a synonym for legendary. It just means it's a historically significant weapon Cultural weapon Maybe great for lore

I always assumed it was used interchangeably in MMOs, but if this is not the case then I do apologize for my ignorance.

This game tends to choose words carefully.

See: Guild vs Free Company. The historic definitions of them. It is logical and proper that what we can form be a free company and that a guild be an established thing at a city, NPCs.
