Just take a break or complete it by 1 turn in per day as we still have 3 months before 3.4 introduce phase 6 since they won't be revealing 3.4 stuff until mid-september.
We can probably expect 3.4 to be release din late September or early October

I think I'm the odd one out where I don't really care about the Lore weapon and I'm quite happy to work towards my relic, even if an easy step comes out to make the lore wep 230 it won't really change a thing for me.

Done for now... 3.4 is a while away, thank goodness.
I'm on 160/240, this is kinda an easy step to be honest. The only thing I hate is, I could be spending eso on alt jobs rather than for Umbrite >.>
The Break Phases are more of a welcome than a slap on the face for some. Only people who would take it as a insult would be people who expects it to last longer than Lore weapons as the Lore Weapons are always made to be easy access weapon but lack the ability to have custom stats due to being the generic easy access weapons.
After the long grind these break phases are more for taking a rest from that long grinding and for players who don't grinding for Relic/Anima to have a watch ready for the next update.
SE seems to have set up each "Glowing" phase to be break grinding phases for relic/anima/??? so players can rest and recover from the mindless grind phases being the phases where we get the weapon's body then set Glowing phases to be much easier so players can catch up to a higher weapon level above the Lore/Tome Weapons.
