43/80 getting closer

Finished Paladin

Started monk 4/80

Finished mine a few days ago, working on maybe AST for glam....or MCH. 11/80 for whatever I choose for my second weapon.

only 5 crystals... I hate fates and refuse to run them... I do hope SE adds in another way to get these. I wouldn't mind running all ex primals up to 3.05 and all 24 person raids synced in DF to get them with 100% chance to drop in my box. I hate fates to the point that that I will not in anyway get a relic. IEven if the weapons could sing "Oh Come all Ye Faithful" while in battle stance I still would refuse to run fates. I really hate fates.

Finished my DRK on 6th january. Someday I'll start my Paladin, but not now...

41/80 on my BLM!

Collecting crystals for my SMN, which isn't even 60 yet (have the quest started for my WHM, though.)

9/80

I swore off doing the relic and even took a break for six weeks or so rather frustrated by it and some other things. I missed the game and friends and decided if I'm playing, I want either the relic or to be in a raid static. I'm not in a raid static, so decided to go really slow with the relic and not burn myself out. I started a week ago and did the crystals in about 8 hours in two sessions. I had fun, actually. Not because of the content, per se - just being on the path for something.

I'm at 13 or 14 of 80 for my next one. I'm just letting this one complete itself, basically, from the tomestones I get from other things.

WAR done and done

Collecting crystals for SCH now. I really liked how the WHM relic looked, so I got the handful of atma I was missing and I've started on books. In the event I get through THAT before I finish all the crystals.... I'll be able to cash in a zeta and get my SCH book that way, and use the crystals for a third animus, probably SMN. Pretty ambitious for a filthy casual!

20/80 now, but I got the Amalja up to the point where I earn tokens, and the Sahigan are closing in. I'm up to 8 seeds, ahead of all the other items, so I'm holding off the Sylphs until I've got the other three beastman tribes generating stuff. Sahigans are halfway there and will be generating tokens in a week.

62/80 for Machinist.

Edit forgot I picked up two more so it's really 64/80 for Machinist.

7/6/5/4 towards my Magestas. I have my Hvrthrlmir. Just doing dailies and beast tribes mostly.

0/18 here, but an EX and Raid roulette with these as a bonus (or a more generic token that can be used in more than 1 step of it) would maybe motivate me to do it. Right now it's too boring, so I'm getting my crafters to 60 instead. That's much more exciting than FATE combat.

80/160

Rhongomiant get.
Nothung next.

10/80 for me here. I haven't been really trying and I haven't been playing much. I mostly spam on the weekends when I have time. I've been really lazy with the beastmen tribes :( I kind of want to grind it out a little more I mean at least doing a few alex runs a day would definitely increase my progress dramatically.

I ended up starting the relic on scholar as well, which distracted me. But at least I have 9/18 crystals for that! :D

Update!:
Unidentifiable Seeds: 17
Unidentifiable Shell: 11
Unidentifiable Ore: 1
Unidentifiable Bone: 5

HQ items: 4/16

Mostly roulettes and Vanu Beast Tribe quests. Maybe Alexander if I grow too bored for the day.

Started crystal farming for Astrologian. 15/18 on that. :D

I've been going kinda slow on it since it launched, just doing Beast Tribe dailies, my hunt bills, the occasional hunt and Trial roulette... and I'm at 42/80 for my PLD weapon (which I got with a Zeta). Also have the BRD through Stage 2, got that from Farming the crystals while I pushed my Novus NIN relic up and all the way to Zodiac to get the DRK weapon... which is also through phase 2 and waiting to progress on to phase 3.

12 Bones
10 Shells
10 Ores
10 Seeds

Always do the Kobold, Sahagin and Vanu dailies, then pick and choose between the Amalj'aa or Sylph dailies, turn in your Poetics/Law when you have them and it's really not so bad.

I got 3 Animas and I think the whole grind things is overrated.

Axe done in two and a half weeks, not really farming, just doing dailies and some hunt.
Now doing my bow, 3/3/2/2.
And at the same time, I know some guys doing their fourth one...

Got SCH book yesterday (had a 3 day delay because needed mats for kings cake ^^) and at 0/7/1/0 for second (AXE) but reduced my daily roulettes also the bonus farm and giving my dragonskin maps (or the ores they yield) to a friend. Not in a rush :)

I have 1 fire crystal that I received out of the goodness of RNGesus' heart while I was gathering some GC seals.

I'll probably do the first two steps for all the classes I actually plan on playing, so 4 or 5. The third one though... I don't even know if I will do it for my Warrior, I have 1/80 and I'm alredy kinda done with it. First two steps are absolutely fine, last step is just time I feel is wasted.

Slowly leveling the beast tribes now. 2/3rd into rank 2. :D

No....more....duty runs....ever again!

....till next patch >.>

Finished all Crystals for my SMN today. 4 more dungeons (Heavensward ones) for part two and 3/80 with stacks of the HQ craft items ready to go. 3 million Gil poorer now too to boot. I am worried what it will be like once I am just all in on part 3 and have to work towards that. Piece by piece. I keep reminding myself that I will get it eventually and don't need to rush.

19/80 for number two. Still not sure which one it will be, though. Probably WHM or BLM. I rather like the design of the BLM staff, but WHM is more useful since my main is already a DPS.

Since we can play all classes it's just insane how they designed the Quest. I have done the first 2 steps with 3 Chars, one is in progress. Imagine that i have to pay about 4 mill for one relic makes me sick.
Decision made: I will not even finish the last step for one Char.

I'm almost done collecting the 80 unidentified pieces, but I have a feeling I won't be able to get the HQ pieces until 4-5 months from now. They're like 600-800k a piece on my server and I just don't have that kind of gil.

MrHappy made a nice Video about that topic...

You must not agree, but its not bad to listen!

Finally finished last night! 1/1/2/1 for round two with WAR.. Definitely won't be doing anything but tomes/maps this time around.

Currently 40/80. I have found the method of "Not giving a crap" to be the most effective while doing this. Least I can get alt job gear and tank runs towards mount from Alex Normal while doing this.

I am at about 49/80, need to turn in another stack of precision springs. I'm not pouring all my spare time into it, just doing beast tribes/roulettes/Alex runs for that last tank mount when I can. And I still want to get two to three more relic weapons. *covers face*

62/80 and still need the dispelling arrows. I can't stand doing that much Alex, so I do all the roulettes, hunts, and maps instead. I'm so close I can almost remember what sanity feels like.

Please...remind me what sanity looks like...I'm afraid it melted under the weight of all those DF Alex runs...

Got my second yesterday. Have avoided Alex NM almost completely, just do roulettes and beasts and a map each day

43.80. Took a two week break over New Years to spend time with company and my static's been crunching on A2S progression since I got back.

Does anyone have an idea of how long it takes to grind the light for Nexus now?

I'm on 20, I don't even say to myself "I'm grinding for relic." I just say....oh I have enough tomes for an item now. So I'll get it when I get it...even though I'm not sure I want Deneb anymore...

75/80 on my first one. Almost there~

I'm pretty sure I'm at about 44/80 at the moment on my first one, 9/18 on my second, and 2/18 on my third.

Don't read too much into that. I'm probably only going to finish Phase 3 for my first and leave the others at i200.
