Is a relic worth it?

[Payadopa]

I like the look of many. Glamour is the true endgame after all.

I've heard about Bozja a lot recently and when I was doing some Googling I noticed that there is a system called relic that is tied to it. From what I've gathered, a relic is a powerful weapon that is extremely grindy to get. However, I'm not sure if it's worth the time to get the relic. Can anyone comment on the pros and cons of relic?

It isn't extremely grindy and it looks cool. It is 100% worth it.

The current expansion's relic is always BIS for the final patch of the expansion. It doesn't reach that level until then. Before then, it is just a really good weapon. Right now it's a 515, when, as a casual player you can have a 520. You are not likely to have more than one 520, though, and you can make multiple relics for different jobs, so it's nice if you have more than one at 80.

If you do Savage you can get your 520 weapon to 530, and if you can beat the final savage you have a shot at an i535 weapon, so a relic is nothing more than a glamour if you can do that--at least until the final patch where the relic will become 535.

But if you're only doing casual content and have plenty of time on your hands, relics are a fine choice.

Even though I do Savage, I always do relic grinds each expansion anyway, because I like having the glamour options.

200 tomestones of the disposable kind to get ilvl 500, an easier and more powerful weapon than you can get in many other places.

Sure, go do the first step. Anything after that is personal choice.

If you want to do it, do it, if you don’t, dont. But why are you playing the game if you don’t at least do one, to experience the story and content?

Glamour is the only long-term reason. Look up videos of what completed weapons look like, and make your calls from there.

[Amnmaat]

Everything in this game is temporary, otherwise we'd be playing those "desert" games where you can go hours without interacting with anyone such as blade and soul, bdo, and wakfu.

If previous expansions were any indication, then when Endwalker releases, relics will almost instantly be outranked. Given that we are at the end of Shadowbringers, there won't be much more gear elevation.

If you want it for glamour, go for it. They aren't by any means difficult to get, just super grindy.

Relic weapons are usually good for 5-6 levels, so I wouldn't say that they are instantly outranked. They make for a good leveling weapons.

Augmented tome weapons are good about as long anyway, and they'll be available for Poetics at the end of the expansion.
