Does GEO/RUN relics still take 6 month to start?

If Square ever make it easier to get Idris, brace yourself for a major nerf. That thing is broken, you know it, we know it and they know it.

I take due to the lack of major news, there are no major news about this?

haha....

I didn't even realize it took 6 months until OP making this thread. ATM, I only have 4 out of 6 that's in Legend rank. 2 left are still in Partner (Scout) & Contributor (Inventor) rank. And yes, I would really love to finish this fast so I can actually start doing RUN mythic. Funny that I've been playing Adoulin since release day and still yet capping all coalitions, thanks to me for being a bit ignorant about it till later on. ^^;

BTW, there's one suggestion that might help though: back then, I use all those imprimatures to spend on any assignments available, but didn't do them. This act like sorta cheating way to store up all your excessive imprints since you can get them back when you cancel those assignments. I was able to shot up several coalitions to max rank thanks to this, though unfortunately I have none left now that I'm kinda desperately wanna grinding those. ^^;

Might not help much now, but I hope it still does. Last time I did, I have around near 200 imprints saved up. All gone since then though. lol

Only 5 months of play until I can start my Idris! Thank you so much, Square Enix!


Meanwhile, every other person I know is working on his/her relic or working toward making it extra shiny.

So, is there any update on this? Even a "no, we decided to make GEO and RUN relics the only thing that still take half a year in this game to even start" would be OK at this point.

I'm also not loving the new quests being gated behind coalitions for really no reason.

So, it's been 4 months between posts, how close are you to idris now?

btw, I just happened to reread the whole thread again, and realize that it's kinda odd that ppl argue over pre-condition which is all max ranked coalitions, while the actual ergon grinding might be much longer (not to mention expensive). Not to mention that majority of assignments are dead easy, just time consuming. cmiiw tho...

(kinda sucked tho that the silver cordons are only achievable after all coalitions max-ranked and with all assignments cleared, which is kinda wasted at that point. and do I need to mention gold cordons? lol )

Also, I'm currently on 5 max-ranked coalitions, and one left on either advisor/magnate rank. Getting bronze cordons really helps quite a bit since it shortens imprints waiting time and maxed em from 15 to 16. Too bad I only play during free logins atm or this would've finished long time ago. Next time I'm back again, they surely gonna be all max ranked, tho it will left me wondering how am I gonna progress upgrading/farming for ergon since I'm not really better equipped. So far, my RUN only have complete AF & relic gear set and only like 1 piece that's upgraded to i119. ^^;

It's a viable gripe that there is real-time clock-locked minimum time investment/bottleneck that can't be avoided before you are able to even accept the first quest. I don't think anyone really believes that REMA should have super easy/fast processes to get ahold of, but since it's possible to focus on the other types and knock them out from start to finish in a month or two (if you do nothing else...) and since GEO/RUN only get the one Ultimate so there aren't any others to distract you, I can imagine that it's rather irritating to most who want Idris/Epeo to have a 6 month minimum wait (which will involve spending time daily on imprimatur spending / coalition fame grinding,) before even officially starting the quest chain for one.
