Am I the only one that sees the absurdity in waiting on a nerf to do relic? If you too lazy or don't have enough time to play the game to get past step 3.... you think nerfing it so you can be stuck on step 4 is going to help you somehow? By the time a step gets nerfed it's irrelavant anyhow... it's just there to help people get to the last 2-3 steps. if you dont want to grind the relic then just get one of the other weapons. It's really not that serious.
Relic just came out and some are calling for nerfs already. Personally i wish SE wouldn't nerf things like this.
I don't understand why people cry for the "grind" of step 3 while you can progress on it without "changing" your daily habit...
You get tomes from doing various content, you do daily treasure map, you can do some hunting, you can still do some beastmeb quest, Alexander...
You have choice, a lot of it.
Hell, i'm at half my second relic without doing any Alexander nor farming for something specific. The only thing i've change from my daily routines is that I try to do some "old" beastmen tribe quest for token (30-40 min max a day) I still do the Vanu Vanu quest as I need the XP for the 3 jobs I don't have at 60.
I do play 2-3 hour a day on week days, and maybe 5-6h a day on week end.
The thing is, you have to do your dailies to take advantage of the daily bonus (daily roulette token bonus, daily maps, daily hunt, daily beast tribe quest etc)
I did have 2 Zeta to start with, that helped a lot for the first step though (I did 2 ATMA before the first nerf, so I had the right to skip it !!).
But Honestly, the grind to get an old relic to Zeta was awfully worth than this one ! Each step were worth timewise (Atma and Nexus was the worst imho) And you had to use the class/jobs with the relic equiped ! (for most step : atma fate drop, animus book, nexus light, zodiac dungeon hell, zeta light)
100% behind shurifon
There is no need for à nerf everything can be achieve with TIME !!!
And yet people forgot that yoshida himself said that the relic was only to reward people that spend time on it.
I did achieve my second anima weapon yesterday
Without being a brainless zombie Hunting EVERY single target or losing sanity in Alexander NM
Only daily roulette
Daily ARR beast tribe quest (which are the best)
And collecting my wyvern/dragon map each day
+some little S rank whe' i got there on time
It's an easier step than the fate farm because there is no rng
...
@Shurifon Craft is more than life, Craft is power ! °∆°
My thoughts, too.Quote:
Took them ages to nerf the ARR relic. I dont see it happening any time in 3.2. Might happen in 3.3 if you're lucky.
I seem to recall the nerfs taking a little longer to happen before.
I suspect we'll see at least some minor nerfs to the Anima stage in 3.25, if they continue with the idea that the stages before the "raid-level" end-stage for the weapon in the corresponding patch cycle should be easier to acquire (like they did with the i170/i200 stages).
First and foremost, as others have mentioned, the tomestone costs will probably be reduced somewhat, and we might see corresponding reductions in the number of Precision Gordian Parts required as well. Drop rates for Luminous Crytals may very well be increased, too. Toward the end of ARR, they started getting more generous with nerfs to the earlier stages so people could more easily catch up, and I think we'll see some continuation of that trend now.
I wouldn't expect significant nerfs to the Anima stage until 3.3 at the earliest, though.
If they nerf anything in 3.2, it will probably just be the crystal drop rate for the first step.
The biggest thing I would like to see nerfed is the crafted turn ins. I am not a crafter and even if I started today it would take MONTHS to get the crafters up to 60. And by then the relic would only be good for glam purposes.
On my server each set is going for almost 1 mil. I am not going to pay 4 mil for a weapon that's going to be obsolete. And yes, I could ask a FC mate to craft them for me, but I'm sure the mats needed are not cheap either.
Transfer to another server that's cheaper then transfer back?? It would be easier and cheaper to use my real money for the gil spammers!

People be lazy, that's why nerfs happen
