Current Relic Set and New Classes

[LienTan]

Greetings,

While I wouldn't say I'm still a relatively new player, I did only join the game in the very tail end of Shadowbringers and spent easily the first fourth of Endwalker grinding the MSQ to endgame.

As per that and the title above, here is the question I'm curious about. With the current crop of relic weapons, will they release variants for Viper and whatever the caster/healer is named? I'm starting to prep for Dawntrail and I'm wondering if I should go grind some more tomestones for those probable weapons. I ought to have the gear for them squared away once Thaliea drops the weekly loot cap.

Thanks for your time in reading this,
Lien

Viper and the other new class won't get a endwalker relic. Ever new job only gets the relic in the expansion they are released in. Armor though you can get ready.

Thanks Ayatane for the information, that'll defiently save me some time. I can now scratch off the Scouting stuff from the Thaliea "to collect" list. /salute

It's only relics and weapons they won't go back and add, aside from some level 80-90 weapons to help you level. If you wish to pick up any Scouting gear for glamour, you'll be able to use that with Viper when it's released.

If you want to be prepared, though, I would make sure to have a full set of Aiming accessories for Viper and Casting for the other job since they only give you a weapon and armour when unlocking a job.

Maybe skip earrings, though, if you intend to preorder. They like to include earrings with an EXP buff with preorders.

we will be getting new caster dps so we have to wait a bit longer to know what it will be when its revealed

Have they confirmed it's going to be a caster DPS?

Yes. Since Dancer was speculated and assumed to be a healer (before it's official reveal) they have since told us what roles the new jobs will be filling. IIRC, it was from the first fan fest for DT that we were told there would be 2 new DPS jobs, one melee and one caster. Viper has been announced, so the other is going to be a caster.

That's mildly disappointing as I was hoping to get a second staple regen healer since not even the devs seem to know what AST is as they keep reworking it.

Yeah sadly they don't retroactively add weapons to relic sets when they add new jobs in the following expansion. They also tend to not do so for any EX trial or raid weapons from duties below the initial starting level of the jobs they've added as well despite the actual aesthetic already being established as a usable template.
