Chance of Relic Armor ???

[Alhanelem]

Ah, so that's why you dislike they used it, got it. Petty reason but eh, it's not like there's an actual definition to the words or anything. I mean, the artifact gear in XIV had zero significance to the job's lore or anything, you know..the culture and history, usually what an artifact is.

It's not petty... I didn't care for it in XI either- but it was mostly the player's abuse of the terminology.

In the early days, when relic armor was new, you had people still talking about the AF quests by calling them AF1, AF2, AF3, etc.

Then, people started calling the relic armor AF2. This caused a lot of ambiguity where people would randomly bring up "AF1" and "AF2" and you weren't sure if they were talking about the AF set, the relic set, or the first two quests in the AF quest line.

Then empyrean armor comes out and people start calling it AF3. By then nobody really talked about the AF much so the ambiguity thing wasnt a real problem but the annoyance of it all stuck with me.
