Hello.
So i got my curtana atma yesterday and was able to get my first book right away after saving up enough myths. I started doincg my book and got it about half complete after a few hours. Then i thought to myself "ok, let me check what exactly im grinding for". So i go and check libra eorzea and i notice that the highest upgrade for the relics is the animus which you get after completing all 9 books.
The thing that threw me off is that the animis is only ilvl 100. I'm grindng days worth of atma, then grinding days worth of myth, then grinding days worth of books...to get the same weapon i could get much more easily using soldiery? And the soldiery weapon is upgradable to ilvl 110. Not only that, you can get a wave weapon and upgrade that to a tidal weapon even more easily (yes i know you need the mirror, but statics help here).
So, i ask is it really worth trying to upgrade your relics? Its 13,500 myth to fully upgrade a relic to animus, plus all the work involved, where as a soldiery is 3 weeks worth of soldiery (about 1350 i think). I'm going to say with 100% certainty that this isnt worth it at all right now. Im not saying that i dont like the grind, but for the work involved i was expecting them to go to ilvl 110. What are your guys thoughts?
