Bishop1 is just trollin. Probably someone who thinks posting random bullshit is coolz.
Bishop1 the new Pchan? Seriously dude you are retarded.
I just can't subscribe to the "must have perfect gear for a relic" idea. The whole priorities thing applies all the way through. That doesn't excuse total shit from someone who clearly has no idea what they're doing like that Amano guy or some of the other relics, but crucifying and badgering this guy over NQ fire staff is a little silly imo, no matter how cheap the upgrade may be.
not taking either side, but some people on the last few coins get desperate, especially when coins are available to them, so they liquidate gear to finish, and re-acquire those items quickly after. Just cause the picture is on bg, doesn't mean its the end all be all of that character. Granted, if you have a relic, put something else on for afkwhitegate until you get your shit back
I smell the Tekki-broom on it's way in to sweep up the last few pages of blah blah blah. . . . . .
Pretty sure that if we could calculate the ratio benefits/gils invested (you can throw in it the time needed to fund it also), it would be way lower for a relic/nq guy than for a non-relic/hq guy. And that's why people are bitching. Now get a damn vulcan's.

850k for a vulcan's staff. The only jobs it's worth the price tag for is SMN for Ifrit and a BLM that use fire nukes.
Priorities. Learn them.
lol last one on fairy sold for 1k
Edit:
Sorry, your last line was too obnoxious and condescending for my taste.
Worth is a subjective evaluation. Period. You are welcome to your opionion, but its fairly rude to suggest others have to agree with it.
Vulcan provides a clear damage improvement over a fire staff. There's nothing subjective about it. The calculation of how much extra damage one gets from the +1 str can be done easily. There is no question that 7-800,000 gil for +1 str is not just in line with what the market considers a reasonable price, but is actually cheaper than what people pay for many of the +1 str improvements. (Hachi legs, wyvern helm +1 are just examples of this.)
A more consistent argument that you could have made is that there are no HQ items or relics of any kind that are 'worth' it, since to use your example, a smn or blm can simply take longer to do their job and do less powerful spells and save 800,000 gil.
.....Bishop1 stop posting.
Aks summed it all up pretty damn good, get good enough stuff before doing a relic, it's just how it should be, not haveing a Vulcan there is GIMPED and DUMB.
@Virg why town in usukane>? those pants b ugly!
I bet a Vulcan's Staff that Bishop1 is MillionDollarMan. Sounds too much like him. Claiming to have relics ontop of relics and all the best gear but hides behind anonymity and refuses to show us his relics/gear via screenshots or ffxiah.com
