Anyone know if our relic weapons from ARR will be upgradeable at 60 or is there a new quest.

Not sure if I should waste my time with the Relic quest we have at 50 if we just start a new one that is unrelated at 60.

Just asking cause I read there were rumors we could continue to upgrade our current relic weapons at 60.

No the zodiac quest in patch 2.55 was the last relic quest however Yoshi said a NEW relic question will start at level 60 in 3.1 and anyone who has a completed current relic will get some kind of boost towards the new one (he didnt specify what the boost would entail)

Relic zeta will hold you over until level 55. At level 51 your regular zodiac will get replaced by the weapon drops in stone vigil.

I finally replaced my zeta with a level 57 dungeon drop.

First thing I saw that had higher weapon damage and non-abysmal secondary stats. Didn't really feel like picking up 1 weapon damage in exchange for all my det and crit (sub for acc and speed... ick)

Also keep in mind they reduced DET's calculation on Auto Attacks (mostly) and skills so it's not weighed as heavily as even Spell Speed/Skill Speed is now. (Especially if you play bard, det is no longer even a tertiary focus.) So yeah, your relics are glamour fodder in 3.x now. Heck, any HQ weapon 51+ is perfectly fine, but the green items and finally, Expanse and Hive weapons are what will be king. New relics won't beat them unless they start adding special stats to them that enhances your abilities and so on, since these are merely to give MCH/AST/DRK their own set of relics along with their armors, so it'll still follow the general path (raid is superior in some ways, new relic is an alternate but will never surpass for "balance".)

Yes sadly, I would have preferred for my finished beautiful Relic would last to 60. Bow dropped twice @55 but the stats from Aery I believe is no better but very close to being on par. I assume the next bow higher in level will be better than my relic.....

As much as I understand SE not willing to continue it because of the long winded path you have to go, it is a good idea to give us something to start the next one. Maybe skip a few steps ;)

Once I hit lvl 60 it took me 2 days to get the lvl 180 law bow. The 180 law bow is unquestionably better than the 170 Bismark EX bow drop, but ravana bow is the best (ilvl 190). Yesterday I learned that in 3.0 endgame, hunts are king. Get in a hunt shell soon.

You should be doing as many daily hunts per day as you can to get all the centurion (sp?) seals that you can, and trade them off in Foundation for the upgrade items needed to convert the level 170 law items to 180. You get that quest at lvl 60 in Foundation, next to the place where you grab the hunt marks.

395 seals for the item to upgrade weapons, 300 seals to upgrade left side, 215 seals to upgrade right side. Bring those to Idyllshire and there is merchant there who will convert 170 law to 180 (sort of like the guy standing next to Gerolt used to do).

Once you are 60 you can gather law tomes. Daily trial roulette gives 60, daily expert gives 80 (plus what you get from the dungeon), daily high level gives 100, daily low level gives 100. From there you can dungeon grind the 60 dungeons (they aren't too bad), or you can go out and hunt. 170 Weapon costs 570 law (sword and shield combined 570) and can be bought in Idyllshire as well, from a merchant way in the back next to Rowena. Chest and pants are 475 law, other left side 285 law, right sde 215 law. Not too bad. You can get nearly 500 in a day doing high, low, expert, and trial roulette. And from my experience doing all the hunts on the 1,2, and 3 daily logs can net 15*5+4*5+3*5 = 110 centurion seals. There is also a weekly b rank hunt that nets 100 seals. But generally, running around in a hunting linkshell can net a lot to supplement.


The quick pullers are back, so you need to be on your toes. And this time the groups aren't using party finder. They are trying to be exclusive (at least on Lamia). So you need an in with someone. And unlock flying everywhere before starting. People will absolutely not wait for anything. But 2.0 A and S rank give decent centurion seals, allied seals, poetic and law tomes (especially S ranks), and the 3.0 stuff gives even better rewards. They are worth doing while intermittently leveling crafting or completing challenge log with a second job to gain xp.
