Relics..

Not sure what an Epic is but yes they are Purple.

In WoW an epic is a item with purple colored text on their name. Highest level items in the game, lot better then blue or green items. Pretty much the same system FFXIV uses.

lol, was this a reference to the new AFv2? Cause that is capped at 300 of the currency per week and although I don't recall how much is required per piece I do know it is a lot higher than 300.

I'm going to assume it was a reference to FFXI's system of getting relics.

Keep in mind there's another iLvL90 weapon in the database -- Allagan XXX with a little different stat allocation. I suppose every item have an alternative now.

And at least AF2 doesn't take 50+ people putting in four hours twice a week, then lotting against four other people when a piece drops (cough Summoner's Horn cough)

XIV's AFv2 is obtained through "Allagan Tomestones" (not the kind you get for melded gear & Seals) Which are shown as capped at 300/week but require in the thousands per piece. Also, from the same NPC that handles the Relic quests.

White Mage's was Mjollnir, wasn't it? I never got there with my WHM, but it was still a cool item.

Thinking about it a bit further, weekly caps are actually... worse than in other games for this game. Since one character has one weekly allotment of weekly tokens/points, it would take forever to collect everything for every job you have, unless you make a completely new character. In other games you can just go play an alt which have their own allotment of tokens/points. They could also just make it a weekly cap per job.

Hopefully these pieces drop from somewhere else which I'm hopeful they do and the tokens are just a consolation prize for not getting something which they said they are.

Anyone know if they have said what they are doing with the old Hamlet seals that you don't need anymore? Hopefully 1 mil gil each for the hassel of getting them ;-P ...jk...but seriously anyone know?

You can trade them for the stones at 100 stones/tokens per seal.

I said a few posts back, if you have seals left over from hamlets you can trade them in for "Allagan Tomestone Of Philosophy" 100 per seal used to buy darklight gear.

An epic is usually a purple colored item icon and is really powerful in stats. I think Epics originally were from Everquest.

Yes, and they were called "epic" because the quest involved to actually get the item was epic itself. People that complain about grinding now have now idea what it was like to get an epic in Everquest. I only managed to get the 1.0 and 1.5 epic for my mage. It took forever. I never want to have to go through that again. Q_Q. It was practically traumatizing.

Traumatizing? You must not have played FFXI.

Actually, I did. The grind for FFXI does not compare. Not even close.

Anyone have any clue how do we obtain the quests this time around?

Idk but Allagan weapons look very nice in stats vs relics NQ. I know you can get tomes for hamlet seals lolz. By the looks you will have to challenge other bosses in dungeons and stuff, there isn't much official info atm.
