Is it too late to do the Bozja Relic Weapons?

[DynnDiablos]

I didn't get into Bozja in the beginning and now I am thinking I would like my DNC relic since it is my main and I am currently getting all my gear upgraded to i530 before Endwalker and it would be nice to have an i535 weapon (even though I know it will be overkill for a good portion of Endwalker).

Is it too late? Can I still do it is or am I stuck because of how Bozja is designed and most people are at the end of it?

The Bozjan Southern Front seems to be very active still. I was in there with a group farming fragments the other night and we grabbed a little rank 1 newbie and helped him farm and taught him how everything worked.

You may want to shout for a group who won't mind you tagging along in the lower level zone till you rank up.

It's never too late! I have a friend who's been doing 4 relic weapons (now completed at 535). Im finishing up on my first, but probably will be doing a few soon lol. But good to get into it now while it's hot!

It's never too late to do any relic wepaons, even back to ARR ones.
For Bozja relic, a lot of the steps can be done outside of the instanced area so you're not stuck there. You also won't be stuck with the ones that require you to go into the area since the duty are scaled, so you can clear them even if there are only 8 people doing it at the time.

Bozjan Southern Front, DR and Zadnor are all still very active. You'll be fine.

Bozja, Zadnor and DR are all going to probably stay active becuase of exp, gil making opportunities and just people catching up before Endwalker. Never too late to do a relic weapon in any expansion.

Did they ever take away the gated "you must do the instance" part or are those instances just easier to get into now

They haven't removed any parts of the current relic grind.

Nah, you be fine.

Bozja progression primarily comes in the form of FATE grinding, much like Eureka, but Bozja does a better job of actually scaling its content based on how many people show up for it than all previous iterations of FATEs seen so far in the game.

Critical Engagements (which are basically higher-tier FATEs that seal off other people from joining after it begins, thus allowing the system to automatically scale the encounter each time based on how many participants are there at the start) will additionally grant Echo to smaller participating groups to give them a fighting chance, and it also attempts to address the problem of "loads of people showed up to the last iteration of this FATE; now there's way fewer people, and the new iteration of this FATE is too difficult to kill" with the Hubris mechanic, which detects when a leveled-up FATE has too few people currently taking it on, and will vastly increase the damage of the undermanned participants to help compensate.

Okay thanks for the info - I just wanna get the weapon. The Bozja saga/story isn't all that crucial to me.
