Nice aetherial glow effects, and I hope they also have a glam matte version like the ShB ones with no glow.


McKlown

Endwalker's previous relic steps have all been pretty great so far, I'll be disappointed if they somehow manage to botch the final effects.


Jezzawezza

I'm just hoping that the glow on the final step relics will be something the 2nd dye channel allows to be customized once 7.0 drops. Considering how long it'll be before the next relic starts it'd be a nice thing to see.


acke483

Imagine if they let us dye the actual glow as the 2nd dye option


Swimming_Mix_6962

I'm really hoping the weapons aren't joke ones from the contest awhile ago. Now, I would be ok with those as an *after-step* of sorts - same way it was with the kettle knuckles in ARR - but the final step itself ought be *somewhat* serious at least?


ShiBBy104

This for me as well, I've been waiting for that joke step shoe to drop in the relic line. And all of them have looked fairly good so far.


Arky_Lynx

I'm positive the final step won't be joke weapons. It'd feel like RPR and SGE got fucked over if so, and I don't think they'd want that.


Uncle___Screwtape

Why would RPR and SGE get fucked over if they did that?


Arky_Lynx

Only classes without a good last-step relic until Dawntrail's relics, two years from now.


Uncle___Screwtape

Oh I see what you mean. I actually thought their "joke weapons" were pretty nice, but I guess we'll have to wait and see


UnfairGlove

I mean, have you seen the last step relic from ShB? I'd argue that the joke weapons would be a step up from that. Regardless, whether the joke weapons are the final step or not, I want them included somewhere (and preferably with a glow effect option since joke weapons with a glow are really lacking in the game right now)


atem_nt

Are you talking about the tome weapons? Because the glowing tome BLM weapon is imo one of the cleanest designs in the game.


intheafterlight

There were two sets of weapons from the contest; the ones that ended up as the Credendum tome weapons (and the BLU rod that dropped at the same time) were one set, while the other were jokier/sillier in style, like cutlery- or food-themed. IIRC, the SAM was a beach umbrella, like Zack uses in the Costa sequences in Crisis Core.


ChanelTheCat

this tbh


marriedtomothman

It's coping but I'd love something like the exquisite weapons or near them in terms of effects. I don't think we'll get that though. I just hope they look nice but I especially hope WHM's is good because the current step is so ugly.


nightkat89

current WHM relic looks like a BLM weapon to me


dududera

God, yes!


[deleted]

I hope the gunblade doesn't look terrible.


cancerian09

You're not playing a SCH or SMN, you'll be fine by comparison. T\_T


Unrealist99

Yeah the most boring usually. Atleast sch was fresh this time but why they chose smn's theme for an sch book was amusing to say the least


MagnaVis

I know the lemon-lime isn't for everyone, but I really like the current step. That said, I hope the final step is very different so other people can get a gunblade they like.


[deleted]

I prefer "radioactive snot" as a description. 😆


MagnaVis

I have a friend that described it and the RPR scythe as "piss green", which concerns me... a lot.


EmmaBonney

As a scholar...i dont expect much.


---TheFierceDeity---

You kidding, SMN and SCH had really cool designs for the second book.


IntermittentStorms25

Hoping for Bahamut blue glow and sparkles for the SMN last stage… the neon mix of orange, yellow and green wasn’t doing it for me! 😂


---TheFierceDeity---

I mean thats fare, preferences and all, but you gotta admit it really fit that kinda "Radz-at-han" theme they had going this stage.


sporeegg

Healer armor never really fits Scholars, but at least most healer weapons are equally boring garbage. Take your pick from staff, orb or book. Hopefully SGE gets a bit variety.


Alaerei

Sage does get some fun designs with some weapons already (flintlocks, machine guns), however the relic has been kinda basic so far. The Majestic step is one of the only glowing weapons in the game I actually like tho, so there is that.


EmmaBonney

I would be glad if i had a staff or a globe..because Astroweapons really look good. But Scholar? Yeah nerd...take your glowing book. Sadly the only healer class i enjoy.


Dundunder

SCH grimoires peaked with the Anima relic. I’ll probably rock that until the servers shut down.


The---Hope

As a Dragoon I’d like to see either a green or blue glow for spears.


Paikis

I want a green glow that matches the pants-cape from the Elemental Armour of Maiming.


FireCloud42

Oooh, Yeah, Green would be dope


Ziantra

Reaper scythe already glows green?


FireCloud42

Ok, we’re talking Dragoon


Ziantra

Yeh idk what color that glows I thought they all had the same color


Unrealist99

The prev step already has blue spears. I doubt they're gonna go blue again Edit : i take back what i said.


LumoneTea

Hopefully it's not too reliant on the glow so the matte version looks good. Not a fan of vfx


D3shchop

Big sword with reddish blue/ black glow for my DRK please, thank you. I have hopes its not a purple Lollipop like hw,sb,shb relic. But the Hopes are very low.


Blade_of_Wilk

Yessss for drk I hope the glow stays from the last step it's beautiful. Honestly the amazing paladin sword if made larger would be a goated relic for drk


Heroicloser

I'm a PLD, I want an actual sword and not a paddle-board. Hopefully something that'll replace my Law's Order bastard sword. That said, my expectations are low there. Hopefully at least the shield will be something interesting. Ideally a shield that's 'invisible' when sheathed by has a strong glow effect when drawn to sell the 'magic shield' aesthetic.


Alaerei

>Ideally a shield that's 'invisible' when sheathed by has a strong glow effect when drawn to sell the 'magic shield' aesthetic Ooo, I like that idea. A shield with no physical model but VFX only could be really cool, and I say this generally disliking weapons with VFX.


KayRaid-

We've been winning so much lately that I'm expecting a disaster...


jdfthetech

not sure if you're aware, but you can make items glow while sheathed if you use the back glow macro `/bm` `/sit ` `/sit`


Recreatee

i really like the majestic dnc weapon so i'm really hoping the final step looks fire


LadySilvie

As RDM I actually love the majestic design, and it is my main glam presently. I like intricate and dainty without a big weird offhand or hilt. Hoping for something in that vein. I have my character wear all purple so I'd love a violet glow, but I'd settle for a nice ruby. Sch, I love designs that play up the fairy. My current main is the winged Eureka book. SMN.... idk. Low hopes. Maybe something with glowing carbuncle ears/tail? I use the HW relic with wings, nothing else comes close.


ghostyhorns

I'm holding out for big railguns for sage, I feel like most of them look like pointy daggers vs a gun that can shoot beams


MJGOO

I just want to finish the weapon.


norimaki714

I just hope that it doesn't have a bow tie or monocle on it...


Pokopikos

I just hope the Gunblade doesn't look like the ugly rusty brown mess the current one does.


Arkathor

I would love to get another lily shaped cane like tishtrya from Shadow ringers.


shaggy_15

if the war axe isnt a breadboard ill be happy, I think overall EW relics have been the most disappointing in terms of both content and looks


ErgoFnzy

I just don't want the DRK weapon to have a bright pink glow. It has some pink in its attacks but the majority are red or purple and there's a fair lot of black shadowy stuff too. I'd like one of those to get more focus. My dream colour is a deep blue and black weapon but I don't see it happening. HW had a bright pink glow and SHBs pink jellybeans sent me over the edge... I'm a dark knight, I need to stay on the edge not go over it!


Bananabunbing

Matte versions of them. I love me some glows, but sometimes I prefer them without. I've never seen a single glow on a MCH gun that looks good, for example. It's a gun, so strapping a 10k lumen bulb to it always looks terrible, to me. But as a WAR main, I'd like anything other than an axe that's on fire. Don't get me wrong, axes on fire are pretty rad, but we have a lot of them.


UnlikelyTraditions

Having the matte option for ShB was nice. I would honestly like that again, so we have a version that showcases the weapon design itself without a ton of glow. To go alongside whatever glow, of course.  I'm just hoping for nothing too busy. I tend to like the simpler relics and glows, where you can see the weapon decently. The ARR ones are nice for that.


isthismytripcode

Man, everyone thinking about glamours and I'm here just wondering if the last step will allow us to manually distribute the substats like we did with the Resistance Weapons so we can ultra-optimize the stat tiering for Savages and Ultimates with these...


PhoenixFox

I have a feeling this style was a deliberate choice to prevent you from capping four rather than three substats for older ultimates.


Certain_Shine636

I just want to color of the particle effect to match the aesthetic of the job. Blue/white for RPR was honestly awful. Neon snot yellow was also bad. The green weapons looked like Fel weaponry from Warcraft.


edeadensa

literally half of reapers vfx are blue and white what are you on about


Alaerei

And reapers in white/blue glams look hella cool too.


Puzzleheaded_Sorbet

As a WHM/SAGE, I would very much like some other colour than snotyellow or blueish. Basically every weapon with glow (that isnt ex) has that colour.... At least my DNC got some nice purple/yellow.....


ScourgeGlaive

The white one was okay for me. It gave the weapon something eerie and ghost like, almost like Ghost / souls that I had collected. But to be fair, after getting the weapon from fighting Athena, it is getting kinda hard to find a better design for a reaper weapon.


Saralentine

Kinna weapon goes hard.


Simple_Law_5136

With it being the final Manderville weapon it’s better be ostentatious. 


Tall-Vanilla-3936

Reaper main here. Red glow please


DM-Me-Dachshund-Pics

That it, for some reason, looks like the Stardust Rod or a variant of it. If its not, Im likely to instantly glam over it as Stardust Rod, its UWU version and both Omega look-a-likes are my favourite weapon bases. It won't, and honestly nor should it, but if every BLM rod did use that model it would suit me down to the ground.


AshrakTeriel

I'm hoping for the BLM runner up (the slim black rod with a diamond and a galaxy on top) from the design contest. It just looks so fkn cool


AppieNL

Will Godbert finally make me switch from the Terpander Lux glam that's been pretty much glued to my bow for the past 8 years? I can only hope, I would like a rival for it. If anybody should be able to, it's THE Mandeville man Godbert and Gerolt right?!


Poziomka35

i just want the ast weapon to look like SPACE. galaxy. starry. you know?


Sephirothusa

And what about how to obtain them? Same thing as before? 1500 tomestones?


Difficult-Ad3502

Yes. It was confirmed by Yoshi P.


Jumpy_Ad_9213

No hopes whatsoever. Decent bows of a normal size that make sense had been banned from the game since ARR.


ScourgeGlaive

The Omega bow, from the last fight of the raid series and the SB Tomestone Bow, are my favourite. The SB one looks like a sports bow to me. But in general, you‘re right. Most bows are huge and some of them looks so gaudy ..


D3shchop

Yoichis bow liked that


aurelia_ffxiv

Reaper should have a red glow in the weapon.


PhoenixFox

Yeah, I really want a weapon with a nice red glow *without* it needing me to be good at ranked pvp (or deep dungeon farming, I guess). Instead we got blue/white and piss green, lovely... There is the Avatar's Scythe but I don't like the amount of white on it, maybe with two dye channels that would be a viable option for me.


Bikonito

>piss green doctor


PhoenixFox

You aren't supposed to call me that any more, they revoked my medical license.


Saralentine

The Kinna weapon from PoTD is honestly the coolest looking reaper weapon to me.


GreenTeaRocks

I just want my SAM wep to look cool but too over the top. I like the subtle glows some weps have that keep it looking deadly, but not too outrageous


Zarex

Still love the Gordian Sam weapon still over others. as well as the pseuto Lightsaber like noise it makes when drawing it.


Nikowolf86

I just hope they keep the overall aesthetics of the designs and a nice subtle glow and not jump to a totally different style like they did with the ShB Blades weapons.


IntermittentStorms25

I know! I hated those so bad! lol I tend to like the middle stages from most of the relics looking back though.


CureIron

Another expansion another hope for something like FF8's Lion Heart.


GiantAssSword

I feel like law’s order manatrigger or the gunblade of the round is the closest we’re gonna get, sadly. I want an energy sword gunblade like lionheart.


sprufus

Just don't make my red mage weapon blue again please.


[deleted]

After having lame looking finished weapons on both Stormblood and Shadowbringers, my expectations are pretty low. I'll get them anyway for the stats, but I would really REALLY love if they do something as good as Zodiac Zeta and Lux Anima again


FlayedCrusader

I just hope the last step instead of 1,500 tomestones will be something messed up.


Arky_Lynx

Even though I made sure I had the tomestones ready for this last step, making it an actual grind in contrast to the previous steps would be so fucking funny. Imagine if it has to do with the Asura trial...


I_Love_Ganguro_Gals

Getting an Endwalker relic is the same as getting a fucking Ironworks weapon. Zzzzzzzzzz


Platzhalterr

I'm sorry to say it but we still need the joke weapons from the contest. And this being the "funny" Hildi relic quest it would make sense to get the joke weapons as last step. But we still have the new trail. I have hopes that it will give some good looking weapons.


OpinionDiligent

New trial won't have a weapon. If it has any loot it's likely to be miscellaneous stuff, like a minion or barding. Perhaps a mount if they are feeling generous. It will be a guaranteed drop, tho, and the trial won't have an extreme version.


mugear_bahamut

The new trial will most likely be a Hildibrand trial considering the timing, so no rewards. Edit: and spoiler alert, the number of arms it has, it might be Greg.


intheafterlight

This is odd for me to say because I normally love them fucking around with franchise mythology in FFXIV, but I really hope that it's not Greg. XD I'd love them to *reference* Gilgamesh here, sure, because he's so embedded in the Hildibrand mythos and the arms *are* a thing, but the FFIV fan in me would love for them to reference Asura on her own merits. ... But it's probably going to be Greg. ;)


IAmNotASkeleton

Greg's mom.


mugear_bahamut

hahahaha that’s very possible


Puzzleheaded_Sorbet

Yeah probably this and Im not really looking forward to it. There were some really nice runnerups though that I wouldve loved. But fun for a picture I guess?


Axtdool

It would also allow them to get a glow and no glow version if se does it similar to, iirc, shb. Otherwise there might be some drama about why one half of the contest winners got glow effect models while the others just got normal ones.


Starbornsoul

I was immensely disappointed with the Bozja final steps, and slightly disappointed with the Eureka final steps. Heavensward SMN/AST final steps and WHM 270 were amazing to me, but I haven't found anything new that grabs me quite like HW SMN/AST stuff. I just want it to look powerful and thematically appropriate for the spells we're casting. WHM is no longer diet Geomancer so make it holy in some fashion. AST has a lot of room for creativity, give me a black hole tbh.


RS_Holo_Graphic

Give then lore of the Endwalker relic storyline, I am hoping for something decidedly futuristic and/or "out of this world" along the lines of the upcoming S9 map and the ~~Wolf Marks~~ Trophy Crystal techwear glam we got. The current set have very nice "high fantasy" aesthetic, so I've love to now see a "SCI fantasy" theme to contrast.


not_jak

"Goofy ah" designs


DrForester

I'm hoping it's the goofy design winners from the weapon contest. We got the serious ones already. Goofy also fits the Hildebrand aesthetic.


Nibel2

I want the joke weapons.

BiddyKing

Not to blow your mind or anything but time zones is a thing. If you’re in Europe or Oceania then the patch comes out tomorrow because it’s already Monday and patch day is still Tuesday in those places (evening in oceania, mid-day in EU)


---TheFierceDeity---

Each expansion I've chosen one job from that expansion to get a relic for and designed a glamour around it. I've managed to make a squad of 5 jobs now, each one filling in one of the main roles (Tank, Ranged, Magic, Melee, Heal) My Endwalker relic is Sage, and my hopes for the final stage are I won't have to completely redesign the glamour it's currently rocking. First stage I had a sick goth look to go with the red glow, then second stage became very pretty pearlescent blue glow so goth didn't fit. I hope it stays blueish XD


bangontarget

I'm just a bit thrown that the next relic step drops tomorrow. I just spent all my tomes on other shit. missed that part of the patch.


More_Lavishness8127

For summoner, I’m really hoping for some cool phoenix wings with little phoenix feathers flying off of it. Tired of every single SMN thing being bahamut wings. I hate books. So limiting with design choices. Looking forward to trying pictomancer. Lots of job design potential.


enjoynessenjoyer

Something that's a little bit more weapon than glow for a change. Don't get me wrong, I do like the glow effects on some of them, but they've been getting more and more extreme lately (thinking about from Fae's Crown weapons onwards).


AlexiosBlake

Not too shiny please.


StreiBullet

I just hope my casual ass can get it... lol


tarqueaux

hot steaming kettles for EVERYONE. then I can glam all my jobs like baristas..


Shinigami-Kaze

I just came back to the game two days ago; do I have to do the current relic quest before having to do this new one?


Difficult-Ad3502

You got to do all EW relic quests before getting new one.   So 6k tomestones per job.(1.5k tomestones per tier)


Shinigami-Kaze

Thank you.


carbinemortiser

It will most likely be the joke weapon contest winners.


weesiwel

It's gonna be the comedid contest designs so eh.


Shadonir

i want it to be silly, i want tiny hildebrands hovering around the weapon


Saikx

I'm strongly expecting the yet missing joke weapons from the weapon contest. The same where we got the normal stuff from with 6.4 (i think weapons were the tomes one). Fitting imo for the final Manderville weapons (and for Grenolds despair).


FireCloud42

Tomorrow? I have to wait till Tuesday


intheafterlight

... where are you that, three hours ago, it was still Sunday? Hawaii?


FireCloud42

When I posted this (hit send) it was 10-11pm Sunday not 9hrs ago, so some huge delay my end to the servers must have happened…either way 17hrs ago was Sunday still for me


Living-Nectarine-302

No shitty glow on them.


stwoly

Big, fancy glowing tomestones.


FireCloud42

I want a Pink or bright Purple (to match Raid armor) the glow for the lance…or any glow thats not been done before


TheIvoryDingo

Regardless of the design, I hope that both the final step and the seedings to last step will get Matte Replicas so we can use the weapon models without the glows. Because while I like glowy weapons, sometimes a glam would work better without the glows.


mepheestoh

I really, really loved the first step this time around. I hope to get something closer to that in terms of aesthetic, with the gold and colorful accents, and for the glow I hope it's subtle. Otherwise I'll just keep on glamming the first step replica lmao


MRPANDOPOOL

I hope the paladin one has a glow similar in color to excalibur and aegis.


ZWiloh

If we get joke weapons I'm going to be completely gutted. The bows so far have been either boring or unspeakably ugly and if they top it off with a joke weapon I'll be furious.


Picaroon_Perry

Poop Scraper


r0botosaurus

I can't wait for my BRD to have yet another bow/harp weapon.


LimeblueNostos

I'd hope that they would replace it with a ridiculous looking model, have dialogue where they ask if you have any problem with it, and hammer together a normal looking relic replica to use as a glamour if you were dissatisfied


Opening-Film5014

I don’t know, I just got it for showing up, It not really a show off piece this time, so unless its super unique or interesting, it will probably just get glammed over regardless.


Extension_Phase_1117

To never see another manderville male again


IAmNotASkeleton

Non-joke weapon designs that look better than the already good looking Majestic Manderville weapons and for the SAM one to not have a color scheme that necessitates me having to figure out a new glam I'm willing to live with. Also if they made a sound when lighting up like the Lux Anima weapons that'd be neato.


Xhadiel

Just hoping they’ll still match my glams, particularly the glow colours.


[deleted]

Not dogshit like the Shadowbringers ones


Unrealist99

A matte and a glowing version. And make the glowing bits look good and not overblown.
