During 1.22, all content parts of the original relic quest, except Ifrit extreme, were already ingame before the relic quest.

The class-specific faction leves were also created for it. Plus, the faster speed runs were a different twist on what a lot of people were actually doing.

or maybe, i have been playing for too long ? i have been since 2.0 l

-_- thats a joke right... You been here to long... you.. 2.0... 1 year... How about us players that have been lv50 on all jobs for 4 YEARS!!... What about us 1.0 players?..

Gave up when it wanted me to meld materia ... I ain't got the gil for that kind of crazy.

OK... i drop... what 200k and I got it done easy... My wife.. was 170kish... Im not seeing this crazy gil you'r talking about.. you don't need to be rich to mald a 10 I and 10 II to a weap...20-30k pre stat? give or take a few k. Bigger you're server the lower it is bc of more SB players/sellers

[Lulu89]

Unfortunately, not everyone is on a large server, nor in with the right crowd that will grind non-stop with them.

wait.. so we need other to help us O.o i soloed up to all the way form relic rank 1 to my 75Alx in 2-3weeks -_-; and my char is 5weeks old O.o and I'm on a small server.. what so hard about this relic quest..and i work 40+ hrs a week and get maybe 4-5hr on weekday to play... so im so lost as to way player QQ over something so easy! try farming one in XI 6-7 years ago then we can talk about hard ><

TBH this lastest quest is the more approachable of all. You not only get you weapon but get to cap solds and poets faster and get some money out of it.

I'm pleased with this lastest grind if you ask me. Roll on next quest 135

I just love how people have rose tinted glasses when it comes to Xi. That was a grind on a whole different level. It took people years to acquire the necessary items to create one relic with the help of a huge amount of people and you are complaining about the grind needed for this? Get out go back to Xi for a few days and really remember what it was like, and make sure you take your glasses off.

The relics in XI also remained relevant for years. Here in XIV you're lucky if you get a couple weeks out of your relic before you either loot a better weapon or a new tier is released.

Hilarious thing is we all KNOW that the final tier of the relic will come out just before the expansion ups the level cap and renders the entire relic chain obsolete.

The amount of use you get out of these relics is NOT worth the time investment at all. A lot of people try to make out that they're 'casual' weapons but they're not even that. It's easier to get tomestone weapons than relics now and no casual can do this quest because they could never keep up with the release of new tiers. These relics are nothing but a hardcore grind for a cosmetic weapon skin... and now that we've seen the final models and most agree that they're utter garbage compared to the original models the entire quest chain is pointless for a lot of people.

It isn't obsolete; it remains a relevant weapon to do the current tier of content with. You have to clear T12+ to get something better, and that also costs 3 weeks worth of poetics.

I have no idea from where people get that 135 is the end of it. Have you thought that it could carry on on the next expansion?why will it stop? A lot of people jumping on baseless conclusions. I'm gonna laugh hard when the expansion comes and there's a new quest for the zodiak weapon

[Ellatrix]

Probably because Yoshi said that this quest line ends in 3.0. It makes little sense for them to release an expansion (and attract players to come back) only to drop this grind on them before they can work on the new weapon.

[LunarEmerald]

I am almost positive that the next step of the relic is going to involve grinding EX Primals for drops, it is the only old content they can add that has not been used yet, that and Coil.

I would be okay with this. Would make it a lot easier to get ponies.
