Feedback Regarding the Relic Upgrade Quest

[Nekodar]

From datamined screenshots on reddit the challenge in the books after grinding for them is....wait for it...

more grinding for incremental increases in stats. Like 2 str at a time.

Yeah... Saw that screenshot... Which only said FATEs, Dungeons, Enemies and Leves, with no real details...

Well for organized group, T4 farming is 20 mytho and 10 sol for 7 minutes (doubt you can go much lower than this with the loading times and cs to skip, 6 might be reachable). So about 180 mytho per hour. You have 4 weeks (before 2.25) to do 4 installement, so need to do one per week. About 8 hours of grind per week, if you only used that; since you will be farming dungeons for sol and stuff, and doing primals or what have you, a 3 to 4 hours run per week is all you will need. It's not that bad.

Obviously if you want to get your 7 relic upgraded or something silly, have fun.

Its only the first 4 installement. In 2.25 5 others are coming. They seem to be exclusive at the time, so we can imagine they will expand on other stuff. Most likely they want you to experiment a bit of everything to get the weapon fully upgraded. 5 other kind of stuff... Hmm let's see, CT, first coil, primals ?

Not having your MVP card wouldnt black list you from events. not having your fully upgraded relic will.

Not having your fully upgraded relic won't block you one bit...
You still have other weapon options.
And current best weapon is the High Allagan ones.

You could go for Gerolt Masterworks (i100 upgradable to i110) as well...

We obviously have different definitions of work :/ Waiting in a spot for a fate to spawn whilest tabbing out, and having netflix running on half my screen while I run around spamming flash mindlessly doesn't really count as work to me. Just mind-numbing tedium I thought I'd gotten away from.... oh well, it is what it is. Let's not pretend it's hard though.

Wait...this sounds like...FFXI?!?!! You mean...what everyone wanted?! *gasp*

[Versiroth]

You wanted a long grind and you wanted a reason to leave RT. Well, you got both. Have at it.

It's 9 installments of 1500 myth each actually for 13500 total.
4 installments are available now with more being available in 2.25.

Oh I see. I guess the formatting of the title just confused me. Thanks for the clarification!

I for one am perfectly fine with a long term goal, it'll keep me playing everyday I can

The patch was released today and people are already compaining that it's too hard to get their relics.
I don't think it was supposed to be so easy that you could get it in one day
I sure hope it wasn't

I haven't even got my first relic yet so I got plenty of content to look forward to

The irony is, the XIV community was so adamant the "FFXI crowd" is so small that SE would and should never listen to them, so no it's far from XI because even in XI you could proc 100% drop rate on those Atmas.

xD

Seriously though, people still don't understand the concept of keeping people busy until the next patch? They did this with LotA with the weekly lockout.

snip

for your other jobs, (for weapons at least), you'll have levi/restaured weapons. good enough

The point is.... is not "too hard". It's just useless and stupid.

A) "Kill 10.000.000.000 Ixalis" Ok, bring it on! ò.ó/
B) "Wait for FATEs and enjoy our RNG".............. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope
