Old Relic Weapons Glamour Dresser

[GothicGirlGwyn]

Does it bother anyone else that the old relic weapons you have to still farm for the replicas just to put them in the glamour dresser? I realized this when I couldn't put in my Thyrus Zenith or Hyperconductive Majestas into the glamour dresser. They are literally just glamour at this point.

I don't get why the base weapon can't just be able to go into the dresser when you get it at least for the older out of date relic weapons (talking ARR through SB at this point of the post). Many people usually plan just to get it to a certain stage & don't really want to go beyond it. I can understand not doing it for the current expansions tier but I think at this point we should be able to have this, especially since you have to get the next stage of the weapon before getting the replica.

Maybe this is just me but I'm wondering if anyone else feels this way. I feel like this would just be a nice quality of life change that many people didn't think we needed.

You can put relic into the dresser?
I tried with a Zeta but it didn't work.

We cannot put relics in the dresser.
That's the issue.

That does seem odd to me that they never allowed this. Some people like to get their relics to a certain point and go no further. The ability to add them to the glamour dresser probably should be a thing.

I thought that weird as well, I wanted to put my old Lux weapons I had finished into the dresser but game said nope. At least you can glamour using it, unlike other games.

Each relic can have varying stats, so they made it so none of them can be put in the dresser, since every possibility of stat could be considered a different item than the next. You have to finish the relic and then buy the replicas to do that.

The glamour dresser strips all information from the item except for the dye in order to be stored. That means materia, spiritbinding, condition, glamour, etc. Since finished relic weapons tend to have customizable stats, they cannot be put into the glamour dresser.

You should be able to put in previous stages that don't have customized stats... at least, I was able to put mine in.

Ah I see.
I plan to do only one relic for each expansion so it's OK for me.

The idea to scrap them and get a raplica doesn't sit well with me.. but that's how Rowena makes money out of it I guess.

[Duskane]

only can scrap Zetas to get a head start on Anima weapons
rest you just finish the weapon and unlock the replicas

I don't think you need to scrap them for the replica, as that unlocks as soon as you complete the relic IIRC. Can't check ingame with Sindri Lux, as I used my Nirvana Zeta for the first stage of the HW relic.
