I'm taking this very casually, mainly just doing roulettes. I've done a bunch of maps too, and yet to get one single item from maps. I'm at approximately 23/80. However, I also have 5 Awoken weapons.
I'm honestly not sure which healer I even want to complete relic on. I love the Majestas, but my raid group has a WHM. I love SCH and AST, but find the looks of their weapons very unappealing (especially SCH).
A lot of my motivation for this relic is gone, and I'm having a real hard time getting it back.
5 more seeds left and im done.

I'm on the home stretch, just unsure of how to proceed at a decent pace since I hate A2, can't think of a way to get Poetics en masse, can't do Sahagin dailies, and getting one from a treasure map is extremely unreliable.
I can (probably) afford to buy or get myself the components for the merchant goods though.
That is part of my frustration with these unidentifiable items - the Poetics. Roulettes give none unless you're running Main Story, which I'm sick of. So, then you're stuck spamming old dungeons.
I was counting on having this issue also. Since a2 and a3 are the longest to farm i wanted to completely avoid them altogether. Basically what I did was put everything into shells or ore when i had the option to (either from hunts, vanu, or tomes which give you an option on what to buy in some cases) My priority was Shell > Ore > Bones > Seeds. Shell takes priority on poetic (due to poetic scarcity in comparison to law) and Ore on law. Even with piority on Shell, Ore managed to max out first. Since a4 is the quickest farm I put that as last priority and focused on farming a1 when I had time. TBH I haven't spent a lot of time farming alex but I have been doing my beast tribes, daily roulette's, and hunts (emphasis on ARR hunts) I've personally found hunts to be extremely effective means of acquiring items due to getting allied seals/law/poetics all at the same time. As for beast tribes i had all at max before the relic came so I started on the 4 arr and as I capped on Ores i moved to vanu to try and double on shells until they maxed. I know this may not be possible if you haven't gotten those tribes completed yet.
As far as the crafted items I would go the route of buying/farming the mats and having someone craft it for you as some of the completed items are selling for large amounts on my server and not everyone can afford them. However the mats themselves aren't terribly expensive or hard to acquire in some cases and will let you get the item made without the 200% mark up on price from the MB depending on server.
On my server and with a number of my friends, they'll run clear groups for poetic bonus for the Ex Primals and Coil T1 to T5 and so on. Poetics for me and many of my friends aren't the issue, it's the law tomes. Hunts are also a great source of poetic tomes. I'm 32/80 towards my second relic and I haven't farmed Alexander for the most part. Don't really enjoy that.
