This would only work if you made the relic super grindy (like OG ARR/HW)

If you made the relic grindy enough that raiders are just going to use the crafted weapon anyway then i could see this working, that maintains the niche of the crafted and tomestone weapons (and doesn’t encroach on the dominance of the savage weapon)

The only downside I could see is it would create really awkward situations if the crafted weapons had tenacity or piety since those stats are completely useless
