Relic Reborn quest - Job lock removal

[EmeraldSerenade]

If I could finish Titan as a Scholar with a /shout pug team, you should have no problem.

Just have to memorize his move set, you'll get there eventually.

While I DO agree with your statement, you have to consider that this IS a MMO and not a single player game.

Which means, regardless of being able to play my job well enough, unless OTHER ppl HELP me, I will NEVER be able to get it.

Which also means, that once ALL the players whom want to tank/heal are DONE with theirs, my DRG/MNK/BLM/SMN may NEVER get any help to get my relic...

Therefore, being able to tank/heal for my DD relics in an MMO game KINDA makes a LITTLE sense, don't you agree?

You need a FC that isn't full of dicks then. All the battle segments of the Relic quest take 10-15 min each and if people don't want to spare that then that's really all I can say about it.

It also negates the purpose - in XIV/ARR Relics are Artifact weapons which makes more sense to do everything as your job. If this was FFXI, yeah it would make more sense but sadly it is not designed to be as open ended on how you acquire your Relic.

OP, just wanted to let you know that in 1.0 we were able to "go into" an instance with the job needed and then switch to your desired job inside of it. No idea why Square thought it was a good idea to change that completely

"Ok, everyone go in as the job you want to play, oh you better have BLM leveled so we can do these as fast and easy as possible since the only absolutely only way to clear dungeons is tossing BLMs at the mobs, but you're in my LS so of course you have BLM leveled or you wouldn't be here otherwise."

Yeah, I wonder why SE changed job change inside of dungeons outside duty finder system

His move set, that never changes, makes the fight easy. You always knows what comes next. I literally fall a sleep pre heart phase because it's the same exact thing every time, just like ifrit. Post heart I have yet to run with healers who can keep the tank up or the rest of the party up through tumult. Sometimes I see someone eat a plume but for the most part no one is getting hit by anything except for tumult and the tank always goes down on mountain buster because he's not topped off before it happens. Maybe it's because I'm on a JP server and I'm stuck with nubs who join the shout groups, but the people playing are just bad.

I can see the argument for 'earning your relic' by completing it on that job, sort of. But then what do you say about the off tank in DF that literally contributes nothing and walks away with a win? That's a total carry. It's probably just because we lack healers but it's this job lock aspect that is ruining this quest for us.

did you like. . .not read his post? or are you just one of THOSE people?. . .

I read it. A post doesn't necessarily have to be a direct response to the opening post. I'm giving my reason why I think it's a good idea.

No, I don't agree. Stuff like this are what linkshells and free companies are for.

*snip* Zero healers and the fight is basically a dodge/heal check. *snip* But because we can't do this, we're stuck on this fight DF'ing relic whm's in AF and 2900 hp sch's and wiping after the heart phase.

Why not clear on whm for the group, then have them return the favor for my relic you ask? Because you'd need to gear their whm's first, then have them learn the fight on whm and finally clear it. *snip*

Your FC needs to recruit some main job healers it sounds like, that or gear up some healers in the people you have. I don't see why it would take more than a week to gear healers, static run CM repeatedly to get some darklight gear for a few days then spam ifrit over and over to get some canes/books. Not sure which would be easier, depends on your server.

If you have any intention of running BC after finish everyone's relics then you're going to want to recruit some healers anyway, so just bite the bullet and do it.

I would think that allowing someone to have multiple of the same quest active would solve this. You would still have to pass each individual part as the correct job to progress in each quest, so you wouldnt be able to do chimera once and have it done for all jobs, you would have to do it 9 times, once as each job.
I think this would alleviate the frustration by allowing us to fill the role needed at the time and still progress. You could even have a team with all 9 and just do each phase 9 times in a round robin job fashion.
