At 8-10 mins a run and lucky on insta queues it's doable I guess. I spent about an hour and a half last night grinding Alex NM I hit a wall hard after a while I can't imagine 16 hours straight of it.

if you have 6 minutes runs (which is unlikely anyway) you need 60 hours to get 70 items (implying that you had a headstart with 2000 poetic, 2000 law, 5.000 allied seals)

i think the patch is about 72 hours old? xd

Lol, I have 2 unidentified shells so far.

This. Doing "16 straight hours" isn't really sufficient here considering the amount it time you need for the previous steps. It's more like several days without sleeping.

Well, time for me to stop underestimating people's free time.

That player right there...wow, I don't think I've met anybody who could pull that off. I salute them for having the willpower to do it.

I test some A4 run today and it can be done in 3min 30sec with pf group. Opresssor can be done in 2min but faust take 1min. A3 marks you can buy with tomestones. Potentially you can farm A4 and A1 in 30 hours + get 12x A3 items with laws + items if laws where already capped(and poetics) then you would be already 58/80 in 30 hours. Dunno what it is fastest way gain A2 items because it is one of the hell of pain. Collect poetics i guess?

I wouldn't wish this on anyone, but if someone got hurt grinding this, would we really know?

And i thought i was grinding it ad nauseam with my 16 items i have..........

Shows the items. Do she/he have the crafted items as well?

Sucks to be them. Because the next day, they'll be yelling about not having nothing to do.

People can spend their free time on whatever they like and don't forget some people have a lot of free time for various reasons.

Congrats to the player :)

But you all told me it would take months and that SE was destroying the game by making it take so long.

I feel so lied to.

Because maybe some players are willing to go the extra mile if they really want something. Square always seems to take the game's views in a casual's eyes and never have any foresight that maybe someone is crazy enough to get something as fast as possible or would exploit something.

Yea i don't think people are understanding just how badly even an average raid group could beat the bricks off of Alexander normal lol. 5min runs are more than doable. So maybe a item and a half an hour considering your getting law as well.

I gotta say tho, i love how the NA servers are all like NO WAY NOPE NOPE NOPE, and the JP servers like "yeah, I'm done" lolz!!!!

Im enjoying how many people in this thread are jealous

*grabs popcorn* woo!

Oh, looks like a small percent will finish very quickly. I guess we better make the grind longer to slow down those players.

Remember some players have their reasons for having free time and if they enjoy spending it on the game, that's fine. :)

There you go ... if someone played 2 weekends at 8 hours a day they could do the same. If you are hardcore you do it the same week. NA players are just whiny know it all's with expectations that will never be met.

Sounds like a job you don't get paid for. Would be like a $600 relic for me, lol.

I give it one month before a significant percentage of players have a relic. Like the majority of idyllshire.

That's part of it for me. This is the first game I have loved that truly at times felt like a job. The dailies and the repetition of old content for months! Such a chore. After a while I just couldn't do it and I am on an indefinite break (though still subbed) - and I have played grindier games games - for years! Don't know what it is.

But hey - grats to that player. I would say I am jealous, but I am kind of not. I just can't do it.

8-10 minutes? Even A4 only takes around 5-6 in DF as long as you don't wipe. If you get a premade, even better.

Thats 16 hours a day since the patch, not 16 hours.

i call utter BS on this the maths doesn't add up. Maybe not be 16 hours but hey bit of maths.

So avg run time is say 5 mins tops.

you need 10 runs for 1 item and you need 20 items. so 50 mins per 1 item, so that is about 20 hours right that for 1 item...now you need another 3 items so your looking at 80 hours...it is pretty much impossible to do in 16 hours even with hunts it is the same story.

100 seal max from an S rank if you farmed an S rank every 5 mins ( impossible due to 3 day spawns) you would still get 1 item per hour and need 20 hours per item.....so the lowest time possible for all 80 items is about 80 hours.... Cut that down due to having saved up seals,poes and law and you could get it down to around 60-70 hours tops but that is pure grind non stop...


Edit: If its 16 hours a day that is what?

16 * 4 (jpn would of got the patch 24 hours earlier) 64 hours so yea its possible....


Is this casuals to you 16 hours a day pure grind?

I skipped the first stage. It took me less then 2 hours for the second stage (yay friends).
But yes, 16 hours is clearly too little time for the third stage ^^ Still! They certainly worked hard!
As long as they had fun it doesn't matter though, I personally am treating stage 3 like a scheduled grind that I do each day. (All beastmen + 4 runs of Alex a day)

It wasn't meant to be completed in 4 days, it was meant as filler from now to 3.2, and in 3.2 there will be a new step people can do until 3.3, ect. Relic is one of the few things in FF14 that is slightly less casual, and everyone took to the forums to form a circlejerk, stomp their feet, and try to threaten SE by unsubbing. Why can't people be ok with their being one or two things in the game that is slightly less casual? I don't like PVP but i don't try to threaten SE that they need to give me the griffon robe or else!!! I just don't do it.

Soon as 3.2 comes out the relic is outdated...the relic is meant to be for those who either dont have time to grind A4S or do not have the group/gear...so we are all mad not cause of the grind but cause of the fact it is the same rubbish we have been doing since HW....why did it take 6 month to make this trash?

Again relic will be outdated.

I... uh, what?

Everyone got the patch at the same time. Japan did not get a whole day head start.

Actually it is around 15 hours per item from each alex, don't forget that it rewards law. The number of alex needed to finish the relic is closer to 600. 600*5=3000 3000/60 = 50 So in all it should take around 50 hours of pure grinding. So definitely doable for anyone doing a 16 hour grind per day for 3 1/2 day.

The relic doesn't just end at Anima. It gets updated with new patches in relation to the level of content and new gear released.

Not to mention, if you're a casual player who doesn't have time for AS or you don't have great gear, why do you even need a completed relic weapon in the first place?
