Exchange vendor for relic weapons

in NeverwinterPreview - Feedback/General Discussion
@asterdahl stated some time ago in another thread our current relic weapons will remain BiS for quite some time.

Though with the implementation of the new relic sets (which are as good as old relic sets) we are forced to grind master Svardborg again. 30 legendary marks which is a horrible grind with the key changes and I doubt anyone is willing to do it.

What do you think to implement an exchange vendor to trade the old relic weapons for the same rank of one of the new relic sets? Same system as you did with lostmauth set.

    Well, another poster dug out some of the dev. comments, and "one of the strongest options for some time" isn't the same as BiS for quite some time.

    But yes, there definitely should be an exchange and a perhaps an exclusive title, at the very least for those that have gotten theirs to legendary...

    Such as..

    I got my legendary item, before they screwed over players and changed keys.

    That would be a epic one I guess.

    Just want to make sure everyone's clear on what was said. That's the quote. No one ever promised Relic weapons would be absolutely Best In Slot for X number of updates.

    When mod 10.5 dropped, the general consensus was "these are the new weapons, here's how they level, grind it, use them for the foreseeable."

    If however we'd been told "Here are the new weapons, but newer variants will be available in next mod, here's how they level..." then at least we'd have had the option to grind orange marks and hoard them for the future, if we so chose.

    A bit of a con tbh.
    No idea what my toon is now.

    The new weapons don't use the SVA marks. And the devs did tell the players this:

    The special marks used for the relic weapons are exclusive to the relic weapons and we have no plans at present for those marks to be used on future weapon sets. I can't guarantee special marks will never be used again, but the next set of weapons we introduce will not require special marks. With that said, as obtaining those special marks is difficult and requires completing Assault on Svardborg (Master) you can expect the relic weapons to be one of the strongest options for some time.

    EDIT: Emphasis mine in the quote above

    Like it matters? If they exchanged them for fully refined epic it would be the same difference.

    They have no intention of releasing the new sets in a state that would make players feel compelled to switch. So we'll see how they adjust that Firesoul bonus. Not so sure what they can do about support classes though.

    And to be fair, it's all speculation. We don't actually know how any of these bonuses actually function, which is why we need copies so we can test it on preview and give honest feedback.

    Yeah, frankly even knowing what the stats are would make a big difference.
    As in previous thread it isn't just about the relic weapon staying relevant. I just hate content becoming instant obsolote. There needs to be an increase in the droprate of legendary marks. It should 20% min per box.
