From an endgame and min/max standpoint though, Relic weapons are THE most powerful items in the game if built right in the later stages of the relic. I mean, you can still do endgame with non-relic weapons and stuff but for people who tend to want to min/max their endgame effective item wise, a Relic is the most optimum choice, aside from the fact they are rather time consuming to actually pull through.

While there are many offshoot weapons that are easier to get in endgame than relics, overtime though, relics will prove to be the most potent.

IDK though. Time will tell if we get a buildup of the current relics we get.

They're customisable, that's the appeal to them and I get that but there are other routes to go down right now. Several of which seem more appealing, to me at least.

You could go down the relic route if you want to maximise your stats.
Or you could go for the bought weapons if you're not overly fussed. Go for a solidery one, work your way up to an ironworks one. 
Or there's the coil weapons which bis guides, at least for the classes i've checked, lean towards.

Like I said earlier for me, personally, there just isn't the appeal to bother with the relic quests these days.

Relics are for bragging rights. Yoshi's even commented to that regard that they're meant to be status pieces. It's also nice to have something to work towards while waiting for something else to be available, be it Dreadwyrm weapons or Ironworks tomestones being added to CT3 in 2.5. As it stands the only option for weapons now are lucky T13 drops, i115 T9 drops or farmable i110s. If you worked on a relic, you could have an i115 with "perfect" stats on it.

Biggest question is whether or not the next upgrade will be the final one that jumps them to 135.
