Fully Upgraded Relics

Most of you have probably seen these on other forums already, but I'm procrastinating and thought I'd share in case anyone hasn't seen it yet.

Muteki@Seraph has upgraded his Relic Bow to a Yoichinoyumi and Deathknight@Phoenix has upgraded his Relic Scythe to an Apocalypse.

Of note is that you receive 3k dynamis currency refund on the last 10k that you trade the Goblin.

Sometimes the weapon does triple damage while still only swinging/shooting once -- see screenshots in threads linked below.

The final weapon skills have inherent level 2 skillchain properties (just like the other 220+ WS's), so they can create level 3 skillchain effects. However, they can also chain on an existing level 3 skillchain to create another level 3 skillchain. For example, Fusion > Light > Light (Full Swing > Blade: Jin > Black Halo > Namas Arrow) or Light > Light (Arching Arrow > Dragon Kick > Namas Arrow). The discussion in the threads indicated that Namas Arrow cannot follow other Fusion weaponskills (Arching Arrow, Wheeling Thrust, etc.) to create Light.

In addition to this special skillchain effect, each final weapon skill has additional effects:
Posted here by Stanislaw:

Final Heaven - Additional Effect: temporarily enhances Subtle Blow effect.
Mercy Stroke - Additional Effect: temporarily improves critical hit rate.
Knights of the Round - Additional Effect: Regen
Scourge - Additional Effect: temporarily improves critical hit rate.
Onslaught - Lowers target's Accuracy. Additional effect: temporarily increases Attack.
Metatron Torment - Lowers target's defense. Additional effect: temporarily lowers damage taken from enemies
Catastrophe - Drains target's HP. Additional Effect: Haste
Geirskogul - Additional effect: Shock Spikes.
Blade: Metsu - Additional Effect: temporarily enhances Subtle Blow effect.
Tachi: Kaiten - Additional Effect: temporarily increases amount of TP stored with each hit.
Randgrith - delivers a Shield Break attack. Additional effect: temporarily improves Accuracy.
Gate of Tartarus - Lowers target's Attack. Additional effect: Refresh
Namas Arrow - Additional effect: temporarily improves Ranged Accuracy.
Coronach - Additional effect: temporarily lowers enmity.

- KI thread about Muteki's bow with English translation of screenshots including the 3k refund, triple damage, and Light > Light skillchain.
- Video (.wmv) of Muteki doing a Light > Light SC.
- Livejournal entry from someone who knows Muteki, with discussion about skillchain element.

That's some terrific info, and certainly interesting to see. That will help when we get around to putting in the Relic upgrades.
