Think of it like getting a weapon from TEA; it's difficult, time consuming, and the weapons are never going to be best in slot for a significant period of time, but if the bragging rights are worth it to you, it's a completely attainable goal.-

They aren't completely wrong though. Thing is, the relic has the potential to be BiS toward the end of the expansion since stats are customizable. Sure, not when it really counts per say, but still. It's nice to have THE best weapon for a few months.

I was able to get all 17 relic weapons during 5.35 stages. I knew the 5.45 stages will be harder, so I said I'll try one for my main first and see how difficult it is before deciding whether to get more. I completed 15 runs of Crystal Tower and then was told to get 18 memories from HW Alliance raids or Gyr Abania FATEs and then 18 memories from either Ivalice or Far Eastern FATEs. Had I known that the FATEs is random drop this time around, I probably would not have progressed further. I was doing those FATEs for three hours alongside many other players who had the same idea (was levelling my Blue Mage at the same time, to kill two birds in one stone) and boy got only 1 memory. At this rate, the Alliance Raids would be faster. I may have to go through this because my main job relic is currently not glowing having done the previous step. I will definitely not do this for all my other jobs.

well you won't have to have this completed to do the 6.0 relic, but you'll be waiting a long time for that.

yes but to go and say Bragging rights feels a bit much.
just sounded more like spite against people who are willing to go through effort of Savage/ultimate/relics etc etc

Rumor has it, you only need to do that step with the 18 drops from mhach/ivalice once. But there is another step after to give it the glow. The first 15 and w/e that last one is are the only ones you apparently need to repeat for subsequent weapons.

Yeah. It's still a bit of a grind but it will in theory be slightly less miserable than having to spam Rabanastre and Void Ark.

If your are going to skip, youll need to skip this entire expansion's relic just cant skip steps, but you are free to start on next expansions relic with no strings to this current one.

It got confirmed once you complete the Void Ark/Ivalice memories you won't need to do them again for more weapons, Crystal Tower however you will need to. Just join the Blue Mage Alliance they absolutely destroy them, Blue Mage Alliance can Syrcus Tower in 10 mins tops.

I like how Crystal Tower is the one they keep around. Because we just have to keep incentivizing that content no one ever runs. It never, EVER pops for Alliance nor is it mandatory for MSQ...
