Thread: 6.0 Relics and Beyond

relics are worthless when the new expac comes out, I never bother. It'll just get replaced.

What they need to do is promise you can get the relic through pretty much only doing roulettes.
AND THEN KEEP THAT PROMISE.

I would not be so incredibly furious if they had not broken their promise with the 5.45 relics.
I'd have just looked at things, said "Nope, there is no Shadowbringers Relic" and moved on.
Instead, I get *overjoyed* that we don't have to do the new Eureka, then *crushed* that I spent probably 120 hours or so farming up seventeen i500 relics, all for naught.

SE - please. A rational company would go back to making the ARR/HW relics that were so enjoyable, and gave us a reason to actually play the good content, help new players, etc.
But it would only take a *decent* company to not outright betray us with this switcheroo nonsense.

Now comes Shadowbringers and the relic is STILL tied to the Eureka like content Bozja but also has ways to get it outside Bozja. Problem is one is 100% the other is not.

I,personally, would like for Endwalker's relic to not be tied to the next Eureka/Bozja like content at all, should we get that type of content again. I think the Relic weapon should be a unique story unto it's self like the Zodiac and Anima quests, as well as be job specific in some steps; a solo fight or flashback fight or what have you.

This is just my opinion of course. I still dislike Bozja even tho I do think it's better than Eureka in places. I still don't like Lost Actions. And I hope in the future the relic weapon isn't tied to the Exploration Content in any way except maybe being one of many options of completing it.

Perhaps if you don’t want to do the current content they could give you a relic for crafting in limsa?

I like relics to be tied to there own content
it makes them special instead of just some passive thing on the side.

The ARR and HW weapons were plenty special getting the updates through things like your normal daily roulettes and some instances of grind X or Y here and there. They were still an accomplishment you were actively working toward. They just let you do the other things you were already doing to get that progress.
