Relic +1 or ?????

[HitaruHotaru]

I read somewhere that 1DPS on your weapon was equivalent to roughly 6 of your primary stat.
The BLM +1 gives you +3dmg so that's already 18INT + the other increased stats on the weapon.
I just got mine last night and everything seems to be cookin/melting faster.

If i assume that +3 dmg gives 18int, this is the stats changing if I take relic +1 or AF +1 (chest)
R+1 : +5vita, +22 intel (considering 3dmg), + 2 determination, + 4 spellspeed (total 33)
AF+1 : +13 vita, +13 intel, -12 deter, + 34 accuracy (total 48)

I don't think that the relic +1 worth the cost in comparison of the AF+1 chest

What do you think guys ?

The relic+1 however, gives you "9" additional int vs 22 offstat.

Int vs offstat is a variable comparison, but generally int is worth between 4 and 8 of an offstat.

Thus, the relic is pretty clearly better.

Furthermore, the relic is a "safe" upgrade. If you're doing coil regularly, chest and pants, etc upgrades will happen, while the weapon isn't until turn 5 and frankly if you can clear turn 5 you didn't need the weapon drop anyway.

It seems to me a very good advice, thank you for your reflection.

Same question here, but with the T2 Chest.
I currently have the chest from AK.

I mean, they pulled the stats for you above, but I just wanted to highlight the flaw here with this comparison. Yes you are comparing relic to relic+1 vs AK (iLvl 60) to AF-2 (iLvl 90) which is certainly a bigger iLvl jump.... however consider that you can ONLY get 300 Myths a week, and unlimited Philos. While doing 13-14 runs of CM sounds depressing in order to get your chest/helm... you can technically do all that in one day... then when you compare going up another step, you are looking at 3 weeks to either choose between relic+1 or AF-2 chest (keeping in mind that you will have to drop your helm back down to the AK one... which is a stat loss on that slot) I would say that the relic would win out in that case because of what you are actually going to end up taking a hit on with your gear.
