Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[siverstorm]

Handing out 135 Relic as early as 2.51 sounds doubtful. It will make the current raid weapons obsolete so early in this patch cycle. I've been wondering where all this speculation comes from.

That's what I've been saying too. People have been speculating it'll be 135 and some have apparently said that in one of the live letters they said 2.51 will be the last relic step before expac (which I never found a source for and don't believe because we still have an entire part two of 2.5 to go ~_~).

I'm concerned about gold, but my priority is to have a top weapon. I just don't feel like spending the money now and end up needing to re-spec the relic, and spend another big amount.

If you don't want to spend all the money on perfect stats but desire perfect stats then your only option is to spiritbond the materia yourself :P

If you have some way of making money, even if its a small consistent amount, you could just hold back on other purchases when possible and just save up until you can afford it. People who put unfavourable stats on their relic usually did it so they could start farming light asap and respec later. I'm assuming prices for materia are comparable between your server and mine and accuracy is cheap as balls.

But at the same time the people who did stuff like that did it because the next relic stage was a pure weapon upgrade for them too where in your case you have the DW spear. If I was in your spot I would sit back and either spend time making gil to go crit/det or spend time spiritbonding.

Plus if Reis and I are right and the relic isn't gonna be 135 next week then you're seriously in no rush :P

"Patch 2.51 will be implemented before the release of Before the Fall part two. Patch 2.51 will introduce the Gold Saucer, which we’ll be showing a bit shortly. I believe some of you may have already completed your Zodiac weapons, but there is actually one more phase in the 2.0 series. "

──その前に、パッチ2.51でゾディアックウェポンのさらなる強化が可能になるわけですね。
吉田　パッチ2.51でゾディアックウェポンの“究極形”を完成させれば、『蒼天のイシュガルド』発売までは最強の状態が続くことになりますので、いろいろ活用していただければと思います。
──その“究極形”のアイテムレベルは……？
吉田　いつもどおりパッチノートまで公開できません。アイテムレベルはもちろんですが、“意思力特化”など、自分の好みに合わせて武器の強さを、ステータスを調整できるのがゾディアックウェポン最大のアドバンテージです。ほかの装備に合わせて調整していただければと思います。

Q: Anyway, before that happens, there will be some further strengthening of the Zodiac weapons in patch 2.51.
Y: If you complete the "ultimate form" of the Zodiac Weapon in patch 2.51, you'll have the strongest versions leading into the release of Heavensward, so I think you'll have an advantage.

Q: And the item level of the ultimate form is...?
Y: As usual, we can't say until we publish the patch notes. Of course, the item level is important, but the intention of the Zodiac Weapon is that players can tweak the parameters to their liking by adjusting the stats to take advantage of their preferences and suit the other equipment they have.

Welp.

It'll probably be 135 then, else they'll risk scorning the non-raiders.

I still find it kinda silly to pump it out this early but ah well.
