Relic Post 3.1

Is anyone going to do the chain since the changes are coming through the pipeline?

And also, I was a bit lost on the changes and how they pertain to the relic quest line, I just got to the book phase and got bored before. Can someone help me understand it ELI5.

The changes they made only pertain to people on the light farming stage, as now light can be obtained even unsynced.

You're only on books. You still need to do the alexandrite/materia stage before you reach light farming, then you do zodiac quests, and then light farming again

The coming change also makes the dungeon items for one stage 100% drop rate.

Still no changes to the Dropping Mad Cash portion of the Zodiac step, so I'm still not going to bother getting any closer to Last Resort.
I haven't played my SCH in months so I just can't justify it.

What would be the mad cash portion? The crafted items that are already dropping in price as the initial stage of the Anima is supposed to be so easy that Yoshi recommended people go straight for that instead of going for a zeta first (if you don't already have)?

Can someone confirm if you have multiple zetas will they help with the number of zetas you have for the relics or just one relic?

Haven't checked the prices recently. :)
The last time I did, the whole shebang was going to cost over 1.5 million, so I bought a Thavnairian Bustier instead, since it's a showoff item that I'd actually get to use.

I only have 1 Zeta but the no, having more than 1 Zeta weapon will not help acquiring the other zetas.

They mentioned if you have 1 Zeta you can skip the initial step for 1 Anima Weapon, if you have 2 Zeta Weapons you can skip 2 Anima Weapon steps.

So in a way, yes... though not sure. If you obtain ALL of the Zeta only the DRK, MCH, and AST would have to be started initially.

Ah, I missed that one.

Anyway you can still get the other Zetas to make it easier still you want, but I'm collecting them all for Glamour reasons.

By the way what becomes of the Zeta weapon you use? Does it get "used up" for the Anima Relic or just a check to see you have it and skip the first? Well once you GET the Zeta you gain the Relica looks for them so no biggie really.

If you quote, at least quote correctly.

Anyway, they said first step will be easy and Yoshida himself does not recommend to start relic now if you only are doing it for bonus.

Save tons of gil then for V materias wich will most likely be needed to attach to the weapons :)

Would getting the lights from unsync party, would this also let us get light from HW dungeons and fates?

This is the part i was confused on, should i just skip it all or get to to a low stage, say post Animus (book phase) for the bonus.

Pretty sure you will only get the bonus if you have a completed zeta weapon.

Even though a Zeta grind has been nerfed a lot it's still a huge gil and time sink. This anima weapon stage one will not be a huge effort so if the only reason to get a zeta is to skip the first stage it's not worth the effort and you'll be better off just starting the new relic from scratch.

If you actually want a Zeta and don't mind the time and gil cost then by all means go for it.
