    I absolutely agree that it would be nice to have more slots.
    Though I gotta question: why don't you throw away the relic weapons? As soon as a new expansion come over, they become as useless as any level 01 equipment

    Mandervillious weapons are actually Best in Slot weapons for all synced down content for the following two reasons:

    1.) No materia slots that would deactivate for syncing below the weapon's itemlevel
    2.) Syncing down will keep two stats maxed based on item level range you are playing on, with a third stat as a bonus

    These reasons are what makes them quite desirable for Lv90 and below Ultimate raids, because you get maximum weapon stats without having to carry specific iLv weapons for Ultimate gearsets (for example, iLv 635 Abyssos for Omega previously).

    Considering you can effectively get Lv90 and below BiS weapons just spending 6000 poetics now (and having the Mandverville quest down), this is a solid freebie.

    - DSR, TOP have the manderville relics be best-in-slot because of how substat syncing works, so I keep around 2 manderville relics.
    - TEA/UWU/UCOB have the blade's relics be best-in-slot because of how substat syncing works and being able to point-buy specific substats my Blade's AST weapon has 181 crit, 182 DET, 89 sps and 16 piety, this is much better than any other weapon for TEA

    Then I have an ARR WHM relic, a BLM HW relic, and a SHB WAR/BLM relic I am actively working on.



    all of it comes down in-general to: "I use this when sycning down or am working on older relic content"

    I think the suggestion to discard them also discredits the work put into acquiring these weapons.

    Sure, I could get a replica for 100 Gil and throw it into the Glamour Dresser but I didn't invest a ton of time, Tomes, etc into a replica. I invested it into the relic and I want to keep that relic.
