Double Melding for A Relic Reborn quest

Question about "A Relic Reborn" quest: How do you flag the quest? Do you need to be a 50 crafter, do you need to participate in Hamlet?

Go to hamlet and get 3 beastmen seals to drop from each one. Grab a copy of "on the properties of beastmen" from your grand company shop. Take these and go talk to Rowena on the Ul'dah strip. She'll tell you what to do next.

It is not even that special looking.

True but all the relic would have a upgrade when they make new level caps. The idea yoshi-p had was that one day the Curtana would become a powerful Excalibur. With that idea in mind you can see how the base relic now are not game breaking or even special looking when you think of them just as a base. That also make players want to go for the base relic with the idea on there back on there mind that they did not waste time and money getting it when later you still have to do it if you want to get that badass Excalibur.

Every level cap raise he said they be new upgrade to relics so that a good idea and reason to get the relic now if you really want that bad ass relic later. If you want samurai relic then ya i guess you would wait but you still work on one of the base relic for the jobs now too then.

If it was called AF weps then i understand but there not i know that mmo are about being casual but sadly there a lot of hardcore players playing ffxiv from FFXI and they also have to make sure they happy.

I'm with Babydoll on this one. The relic quest in FF14 is pretty crappy compared to FF11. It's way more luck based than it needs to be. While it was time consuming to get a relic in FF11, at least the main randomness factor was how much currency you'd get per Dynamis. I know most of the time if one person fronted the money to go they were entitled to all currency that dropped, so you'd feel like some real progress was being made.

I dunno, maybe it's 6 of one, half of a dozen of another, but I guess it just sounds much more forbidding when the item you need to progress is a fortune to buy or a total crapshoot to craft. (maybe the gil re-denomination will make this mentally not sound like much?) And don't get me started on the hamlet drops.
