    If it wasn't for all the bots and QoL/level cap increases. Then the other weapons were all no-life status too outside of Aeonics.
    Even in the early days, if you happened to be filthy rich, it wouldn't take that long to complete a relic. Even by your own admission they don't take very long today, the shields especially.

    Getting the Dynamis Xarc/beau NM clears was the hardest part in the old days. I finished my first in 2007 and the currency was far from the issue.

    I'll second that. I was part of a Dynamis linkshell back in 2006 and we were helping a guy build Aegis. We spent an entire 2 hour run to take a shot at Animated Shield but failed anyway when we couldn't kill it fast enough.

    It took me a year to fund my first relic, I helped run a dyna linkshell and we took turns funding runs between 4 people. Then to speed it up I camped Sandworm and Dark Ixion every single day in my hnmls, 6 hour+ camps for a good 6-7 months.

    I put more time and effort into getting than that most people put into paying off their car.

    I still remember proudly wearing it a hnm camp and missing my first ws, I nearly quit the game on the spot.

    You come across as very out of touch with either the real world or Vana'diel.

    Yeah. I wish I could pay off an entire car in only a year and a half.

    I mean at the time I was playing 7-8 hours a day, 7 days a week. I was farming gil almost the entire time I was on, mostly from money split HNM camps, bcnm, ksbcnm, gardening etc.

    If you were working 7-8 hours a day 7 days a week and all the money went to a car I'm pretty sure you would pay that off far quicker than it took me to finish my relic. This was a long time ago, gil was harder to make back then.

    It was just a hyperbolic statement for effect but it's probably accurate all the same.

    Coming back to the subject, I don't mind doing 400k gal for it as 350k is all 5 empy+3 pieces, which is ok but 1 million gal is just too much, I think. It's either get 3 or 4 jobs to empy+3 or 1 prime weapon stage 3 and I would like 3 prime weapons if possible. I've looked at the weapons on the wikis but I'm thinking of empy+3 gear, instead. It's a balancing act of what you need at the time. I'm still hoping I can sell my eikondrites & sapphires that I get loads of now for gal at some point soon.
