Is a relic worth it?

[Vahlnir]

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.

Well yeah, but the same applies to relics when they are finished. Whether they are worth the grind or not is mostly up to the individual.
