So on the same topic, I have just started my first relic. I'd like to ask, "Is it worth it?", but that is subject. What are your thoughts?
It really depends completely on you.
The biggest strength and weakness of FFXIV is that it's a more casual-oriented game. If you approach the game from a pure min/max perspective, then you'll have a hard time being happy with anything given the speed of the game's vertical progression.
The big "issue" with the relic weapon is that if you don't feel like grinding for one, then you don't need to wait long to get access to a tome weapon that's either equal or superior -- so some players question the need to get one at all.
However, if you enjoy the goal and the process of working toward one -- and if you're not bothered by the game's vertical progression -- then you should definitely go for it.
I do the relic weapon for my main job. I prefer to use my tomes for armor, and later I'll farm a tome weapon for my backup DPS job. But I like that the relic is continually upgraded and thus never really becomes "obsolete." (Although a min/maxer would see things differently, but it's all a matter of perspective.)
