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

[cookiecutter]

So basically what I'm understanding is that the OP wants the relic weapons to be the best weapons in the game that can only be obtained by people who do the most difficult content and have a ton of time on their hands? I think casual players would be ecstatic over this idea.

You knew what you were in for after the Atma stage.

With the ilevel cap removed til 2.5, stuff litterally melts. If you do it now, you're doing dungeons with ppl who have nexus weapons and know what they are doing. You can literally burn everything without worrying about most mechanics.

If you're a person that wants to take their time
1. Get AV and DD out of the way.
2. Do all the other dungeons (before 2.5)
3. Save the expert dungeons til dead last. Do them every reset to cap poetics



As for FFXI relics:
How were they not a grind? Before people were allowed daily enterances; you get to enter dynamis every 3 days to collect 200-300 currency, paying 1 mil for a glass, have an alliance plus more to zerg attestions and fragments, asking 2% population of a server to borrow 30 100 pieces.

Not to mention when they first launched increased level caps it took 1500 mobs of a family to increase little damamge to your relic weapon.

Relics in 11 were respectable weapons due to the time, patience, and the type of "raids" ff11 had, ie savage when it was first introduced, limbus, and HNMs

We all know its gona be upgradable to 135 to match turn13 weapon , thats not my point.

The question is, will SE change their approuch of focusing on low level fates/dungens/instances to keep new players happy? What about us who been playing since beta?

I want to see a change with SE mantalaty, we need to see some content for the relic quest like we had for FFXI, uniqe bosses and things to grind that are spesific to the actual relic quest, not rehashed content over and over.

or maybe, i have been playing for too long ? i have been since 2.0 , maybe its time to retire i think lol... i refuse to do aurom vale, i have done it over 200 times already helping out my friends or just to lvl yet another job. its enuf! lol

Looks like you're just to elite for this game, I would quit if you don't like it so much. You know you don't have to do the relic quest?

I haven't done anything with my relic and it's been pretty nice to sit back while everyone scrambles to do a bunch of stuff they hate for 10 ilevels

They want it back how it was in 2.0.

2.0 relict quest was nerfed to the ground already. It should be like during 1.22

I only hope we get Ishgard Defence in 3.0 (like Hamlet Defence was in 1.22) and that it will be a requirement to get specific items from Ishgard Defence to start the next weapon questline.

I don't think something where each stage ranged from a couple of hours to 2 days max can really be called an unreasonable grind. If it was so hard to do, there wouldn't be i125 relics everywhere right now.

only people who didn't wait until Atma got nerfed have it now ^^

The relics now are such a road block to new players or those doing relic for another job. Vs primal/coil wea especially if you don't meld the right materia

Easier to just get your Tome/Shiva Weapon at this point than it is to even touch a relic if you're a newer player. Even if you could get past the timesinks where are they going to find the gil for materia?

You're aware it's fairly easy to farm materia yourself, right? Even if you go for the IV tiers (I'm not sure what it is about the new quests which means you have to do full Det/Crit), Spiritbonding a fullset of gear on FATEs (which can helpfully drop Alexandrite if the planets align) doesn't take much time at all and once you're onto the IV tiers you can sell off III tier Crit/Det (or any unwanted IVs) for a fair amount to buy extra IVs.
