Whilst driving home from work this morning, i came across the thought of the supposed ultimate weapons that are available in the game currently.

In general, the easier ones to obtain are empyrean weapons. But upcoming in the version update, Dynamis is being overhauled to be more accessible.

What i had thought of was whether or not relic weapons should be treated specially if how they will be obtained is made easier.

Even though i do own an empyrean i'm not biased either way on the strength of these weapons. But if the strength of these weapons should determined by how challenging it is to obtain them, then mythics should be the top tier weapons and should receive the most attention.

Imo balance is key but i am just curious to what the AH community has to say about this topic. I know its kinda early lol, so i may bump this later on today.

SE's HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE. Relics/mythics should be #1 only because time invested is major, compared to the emp counterpart.

The community has the exact same thing to say. You stated the obvious. Good job?

Except for the fact that nothing works that way. It'd be odd if you haven't learned already that time spent is not a full correlation to reward earned.

I take it you've only played FFXI since Abyssea came out.

Uhh.. he's right, actually. Most gear that took time (HNM/Salvage) to acquire was extremely situational at best.

Such as Ridill.

Difficulty doesn't always mean the best. If that were the case, hell, af2+2 would be a hell of a lot better than af3+2... I could go on for a while here with examples, if you really wanted me to, but you see my point.

I take it you've never gotten any good gear either.
