Same for multiple White Mages.  I've heard the Black Mage questline is the same.

Kind of annoyed that's how they set the lore out, but it is what it is!

Until I die I'll sing these songs
On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

Where the weak are finally strong
Where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

If anyone gives you crap for RPing your relic, that's what the blacklist function is for.

You earned it, you RP it however you see fit.

My interpretation of the story was much different. From what I saw, you are sent on a mission to get the actual relic from whateverplaceitwaslast, and then have it basically repaired/added to. You get a bow, for example, to be the 'base' for the original relic to be rebuilt upon. He's not forging replicas, he's reforging the relic itself using what you bring him.

It's interesting how different interpretations of the story come about! And there are so many of them. XD

This is where the Relic quests get so darned confusing. Because, while there is only one Thyrus, only one Curtana, and so forth... there are apparently multiple Stardust Rods. And, though I've been led to believe this isn't the case, I swear I read that the Omnilex was part of the standard Scholar uniform. Gae Bolg is a title for a lance, not one particular lance. 

But that's just roleplaying with very finite resources. Just because there's more than one Stardust Rod doesn't mean everyone can have one... and then when people start laying claim to them, bad things happen. Hence why I like the replica/ "Like X but not" theory, for sanity's sake.

You know, Devin, I bet you could come up with an amazing story as to where that book came from.  It doesn't have to be the Omnilex, but that doesn't mean that the Omnilex is the only powerful book out there - or even the most powerful one.  Smile

OHgod that is terrible confusing. xD I have only done the Thyrus and Artemis Bow so I had no idea!

The blackmage story has alot of lies in universe, while its not repeatable there's also not lore keeping people from going other ways there.. like say WHM does.
