But the point is you can have this weapon now and by the time you finally earn that Novus they would have either nerfed the grind to make it easier to get or shock horror they let you get another weapon equal or better than the relic. All the while you were running around with your Gerolt weapon stress free and Gil to burn.

forgot one point
5) FFXIV is multi job, you can work on novus for your 2ndjob while playing on your 1st job with your gerolt

and unless you're still @0alex farmed you'll finish alex farming before 2.4 just with daily expert
