Wait how do you get lore? Thought it was replaced by eso?

I still refuse to do the grind for the 210 weapon. And since the patch notes are up and they haven't eased that grind, I will just get my Lore weapon and be happy next week I suppose.
From what certain... uh, excavation-inclined people have found out, it appears the next relic step is easy.
You need 5 of those oils. You can either buy them for 1800 esoterics a pop, or get 1 per week from the Crystal Tower weekly quest.
Edit - Oh, and there's no materia slots on them, but the secondary stats are higher to compensate.
Example: Bard i230 lore weapon has 114 SS and 74 DET.
The i230 Relic weapon has 114 CRIT and 109 DET. So it's 35 points over budget, which is more than you'd get with 2 T5 materia slotted in (2X12 = 24).
Heck it's almost like they're expecting to create a T6 materia or something when the item level goes up again...
5 weeks of doing the CT raids once a week, that's incredibly easy. Now if only I had not been lazy and completed the Anima... still not worth it at i230 with the Lore weapons to be honest.
