I admire the thought process (being a subbed xi player myself for more than 20 years) but it's way to flawed when weapons of any kind in xiv dont carry the same weight (with bonuses and stats) that they do in xi
They could make them carry the same weight, but early on back in ARR they said that they didn't want to tie people to relics permanently because they like people to have a reason to acquire the other weapons as more than stopgaps.

I just love the FFXI REMA progression. I've only ever finished Relics and Empyreans myself (Haven't taken on a Mythic or Aeonic yet nor those new Voracious Resurgence Dark Relics). But I'm familiar with all the processes, and was more or less just basing this silly theoretical grind off of that.

TomsYoungerBro has the right of it. They don't read the English forum at all, unless it's a gigantic magnum of a thread, and even then, it's more likely to be a community rep or mod making them aware of it and listing it as a data point rather than something they read.
