    I do kinda wish they'd used the name "Artifact" instead of Relic for the weapons.

    In japan, they ARE listed as artifact. Blame careless translators or SE higher-ups not caring about the discrepancy. Clearly they underestimated the amount of butthurt that one word can cause amongst their most ardent (read: foolish) fans.

    I think were taking the distinction between "artifact" and "relic" for granted when it comes to translation.

    What we currently have in-game are artifact weapons. You know, the weapons that are shown alongside the artifact armor when you make your character. The weapons that make a newbie player who first sees them think "wow, I want to play that class now!" Fancier versions of those level 40 artifact weapons we got in XI. SE of NA or whatever they're called are idiots for not calling these weapons Artifact on NA clients, while retaining Artifact on JP clients. Thus all the butthurt players who desired another 3-year adventure to obtain XI's relic are annoyed that ARR's "relic" takes little under 4 hours to complete.

    I honestly don't think SE understands or understood what the issue was, but all they have to do is read the countless threads about "ZOMG EZGAME IS EZMODE BC RELICS!!" to get a quick refresher.

    I can't decide whether or not the strange/bad translation decisions around spells and items was done by the same team that made quest dialog not shitty.

    lol, but why give the name of the XI relics to some of the AF weapons (i.e: Bravura) ? I mean I can understand the error in translation, but you can not be that stupid to rename an XIV AF weapon after a Relic from XI? The error would be done on purpose in that case.

    But you are totaly right, just the fact the NPC who give you the job quest have the weapon bugged me since the begining.. I was like "Why in hell does he have it already? O.o its supposed to be a Relic.."

    Item tier nomenclature is a problem all MMOs face in some form or another, and I'd even say adding coloring to the text/borders is a supplement to that issue. It just invites an assumption where if it doesn't conform to some personal standard in acquisition and quality, perhaps set by someone's first MMO experience, then it's obviously wrong. As for specific weapon names somehow influencing perception, yeah, fuck XI. That shit existed in world myth long before, just like other aspects like primals/summons or monsters.

    As a scholar I'd go for AF2 before upgrading your relic. As the Coil sch weapon is superior (granted much harder to get) so you'd be replacing the +1 at some point.

    OF Logic: Allgean is far superior why bother upgrading, why even get AF quest gear? Just use quest rewards to get Allgean gear.
