Relic Quest is pure Crap, i am done with it SE.

[RyuDragnier]

I agree with the thread title, but not the OP, due to the desynth requirement for the relic quest. That is what makes it pure crap right now IMO. I don't agree with the OP mostly because I need no excuse to dungeon crawl, I like the dungeons. But throwing the highest level crafting in there? No, go to hell SE, no.

I personally love the relic quest line as it give me something to work for vs just spamming END game.

Spamming easy content ad nauseum isn't exactly "work". Most people play games to have fun not to do copious amounts of tedium. I'd much rather have fewer instances of harder content rather than what we have now. At least multiple ways to obtain the items we need would be a welcome relief. Why does the item, for example have to come from Aurum Vale? Why not *any* dungeon in the low level roulette? Why does it have to come from AK? Why not any dungeon in the high level roulette? At least then you're not doing the same exact dungeon over and over. But I digress. I stopped caring after the books... by the time I get even near finished with Novus, I will be able to buy the i120 poetic weapon with tomestones from CT in 2.5 =p

I don't mind the grind at all. I also LOVE the glows. That's actually the main reason I don't bother with other weps. No glow or a weak glow. Idk why so many people hate it, but just to appease those of you who do, why not have SE implement a toggle function that's makes all glows visible/not visible to you. That way I keep my glows and you don't have to see it. Can't wait to see how the 135 version glows! nexus glow was amazing!

OP, You'll get it done eventually. It's just another mainstream generic weapon no one will care about in a few weeks. There're already hundreds of them running around on Atomos, myself included, so meh.

Go do Coil OP, I want to hear you complaining about your weapon not dropping even after 20+ clears.

I'm on early T13 progression right now, and will have my Ragnarok within the next 3 days (maybe even today if I get really lucky with my last 3 dungeons and finding Sol bonuses in the Trial DF). It will be more than enough to help me through the turn.

But...I still have to wonder why people want, no demand, the best gear without doing the content required to get it. The relic grind is not hard at all, it just takes some time. No real skill involved. It does not deserve to be equivalent to the Dreadwyrm weapons at all

Relic weapon will likely be buffed to be the same iLvl after FCoB is considered aged content, like Nexus was in SCoB. This is nothing new and was basically confirmed that they would never be initially the same level of relevance (At the time of release) so I'm not sure why people are still complaining about this so far down the line. If you aren't doing the hardest content you don't need the strongest weapon, it's a side-goal/trophy and for what it is that's fine.

you have to choose between coil or doing these since they take up so much time

Finished my Ragnarok between raid days.

I get that the relic quest is a convenient way for developers to get people doing old content again, but there has been a severe lack of quality in the quest line since the quest to get the relic itself. In that quest line, you fought a Chimera, a Hydra, and took on all three of the primals which at the time was a challenge itself. Why are fights like that not being integrated anymore? Why is fights like the EX primal battles not in? Or new boss fights? Weave them in between whatever grinds you feel the need to put in there.

If we get a new relic quest line in 3.0, I want to see something more creative than spam this content till you want to slam your head on the sidewalk.

To the OP, no need to be dramatic, it is an optional quest after all. Also, FFXI's relic quest is not a good example of this, it is just as bad in it's own way.

[Seoki]

There's no instant gratification!

SE YOUR ENTIRE QUEST LINE IS TERRIBLE WAHHHH.

Naw, yoshida himself said that in 2.0 he was surprised how fast people were completing titan, and that he wished he made it more of a challenge.

Has absolutely nothing to do with the relic upgrade path.
