Tomestones.. Again.. for a relic..

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...-good-ol-grind

I love it.

*developers put grind into the game with a new patch*

Players: There is too much grind in the game. This is mindless, boring and dull, the developers have no fresh ideas!!! And only unemployed nolifers can achieve something here!!!!!!!!!!!

*developers remove grind with a new patch*

Players: I played the game 24/7 after the new patch! I am done with the new content and there is nothing to do anymore!! What have the developers done the last four months????


:)



Cheers

it is a loose loose situation anyway, like I said above I would of liked something more unique but then in eureka and bozja it was just FATE farming in a different location. Now I can just partake with what I want and get my tomes and hand in. I can do dungeons, raids in any capacity or hunt trains I'm rewarded with the currency to advance my relic.

Uhm and why we are getting just one dungeon per patch cycle? For quests like that?

Does anyone have pictures from the relics already? I'm mostly interested in reaper and sage.

Interested in seeing the Reaper one myself - though am still disappointed that they didn't do a Fae's Crown Scythe.

The issue isn't running out of things to do in this situation. The issue is that the content itself isn't high quality. Again, I haven't seen Orthos yet so I don't know what's hiding in there but otherwise, just from the patch notes, the update looks barebones. Having a lazy approach to the relic by repeating the same step from the first is the issue and frankly, disappointing.

So, in your opinion, handing in 1500 tomestones and calling it a day is content to you?

I personally lucked out because I am in NO MOOD for a big grind, as I have other things to grind for, in-game and outside of it. But I suppose I do feel bad for those who were expecting the grind to keep them occupied for the rest of the patch until 6.4 drops. Though in regards to the discussion surrounding the games health, this was probably the worst way to handle the relic step because we'll have another 2 months of '' there is nothing to do in this game '' threads and videos and tweets lmao.

I mean it is and isn't like a dungeon gives 50 without additional to when you're in there. Same with like raids and hunts..if you've saved up for one off the bat you still need to grind in some capacity to get others let alone get them all and that's for BOTH stages now...its a timesink in some capacity. It just not a grind X Fate 30 times cause the drop rate is not in your favour or go in this new zone and grind FATES or run these dungeons to get a book. You're running dungeons just not for a book but for a currency we already have. ARR and HW disguised the step we are doing now under a different system but its borderline the same. Not defending it just an observation is all.

Bunch of bosses is correct term used

The sad thing is that the content that replaces eureka/bozja was dead on arrival or just afk content like island sanctuary.

I would have gladly done another exploratory zone, because that means actually playing the game. I grinded away at eureka relics because i found the zones fun, hitting huge numbers and grinding away at stuff 'with other people'.

Hell, Bozja storyline even gave us a bonus EX trial, which gave dyable versions of SHB job armor.

I have been playing this game since beta and I have always looked forward to the relic quests and the grind associated….this is awful and an absolute joke. How very disappointing this was, not to mention, with how easily obtained astronomy is, everyone will be running around with 630 weapons and Rubi EX just became utterly pointless..
