A fully complete relic weapon will reportedly give you a leg up on the new one, but the extent of this boost is unknown. It likely won't be worth the time/money invested, but who knows.

It's not even known if it's a boost. All that's been said is that zenith havers will get something. Could just be extra cutscenes.

I hope the extra cutscene is the smith guy reverently and gingerly taking your relic weapon from you, violently prying some part off of it, and throwing the rest in the garbage.

If its anything like the 1.0->2.0 transition, people with zetas will be able to skip the very first step and people without will have to do some sort of quest to find/make the base relic.

Your zodiac zeta converts into a single materia V you can affix directly to the new relic, allowing you to skip one alexandrite. Please look forward to it.

Well, they'll probably also allow you to carry over and change sub stats, but considering a) that they shat all over the relevance of substats and b) crit/det is no longer the best for everything ever, its a small consolation

Especially going by how the later Zodiac quests go, I wouldn't put it past them :v:

My best guess for what you get to skip is that the new relic will require something like 100 materia, 25 of which being Materia Vs, and if you use your old relic, you get to skip the first 75. This is why when prices on materia plummeted when 3.0 came out I went ahead and perfect statted mine.

I'd be curious to know what would be better for Warrior as crit is important for jerkin' it to fell cleave and det isn't as punchy but it's still good. I can't think of another stat I'd like to stack. I do seem an rear end whisper away from enough skill speed for another GCD during berserk maybe?

Crit/Det is probably still best given that they only have one dot. Stuff like SMN and BRD will probably stack skill speed a lot more assuming the scaling on them aren't garbage.

there are people who actually believe this for real, like the slapfight i saw in cwh global where two guys started having a pissing contest over how many zetas they had, then how many relic +1s they had in ffxi, and so forth. it turned out they both had everything ever, what a coincidence

the only thing we know is that it's not required, and it probably won't be enormous just because drk/ast/mch don't have arr relics

FWIW, I believe the reward is "for finishing a Zeta, not necessarily that class'. Which really narrows down how big it could be, when you think about it.

it's all pointless conjecture until they reveal anything about the relics cause we don't even know what's involved yet anyways, so i say that if you finished a zeta there's a cutscene where yoship comes out of an interdimensional portal, hands your character a trophy and kisses you on the mouth

the trophy is furniture

If it won't bankrupt you, finishing one zeta might me nice just to have it and get the achievements out of the way. I haven't gotten Alex since the expansion came out, but I think I'll try and blitz through the rest of the quests this months to finish my Nirvana. If the leg-up ends up being "any one Zeta", then that works out for my WAR too!

Because I dare not venture into the WoW subforum, I'll say here that the new WoW expansion looks yawn-worthy.

gently caress. I'm gonna spend between 2 and 5 USD on video game poo poo, aren't I? Those Yukata just look so good and I've been jealous of the bomb dance forever.

EDIT: I also got my Sable Death Mask recently and I feel the need to build a glamour for it, just to prove I didn't waste all that time. At least the last quest was fun as hell.

EDIT2: I bought a yukata and the bomb dance five seconds later.

Of course they could pull literally anything out of their rear end, but it just makes sense that as a big feature of the relic weapon vs all others is being able to set the stats on it and by all indications this is not letting up in Heavensward, and that there's a new tier of materia and new stat caps at play, it's very likely that the "head start" will be that you don't have to meld a bunch of Tier I-IV materia and only have to do rear end expensive V materia. Maybe you get to farm less neo alexandrite or something too although whatever the method for affixing the materia is will probably work very differently than alexandrite.

PvP-specific skills that are locked behind leveling up a separate PvP level, which are really good for and only available for PvP. FFXIV removed the level requirement of the skills at some point, but WoW is introducing the system straight up with you having to unlock the abilities by doing more PvP. So you go in without anything that your REALLY want for PvP (like trinket to remove stuns etc) and get shat on until you hit the same level as everyone else
