The problem with the relics is this the upgraded coil weapons are better then them. I130.

So people are looking at it. Well I can sink a stupid amount of time to finish it or wait 2-3 weeks and get my 130 weapon.

On the flip side you have the. this grind is hell ppl, those that are more casual players that do not want to invest the time required to finish it.

Basically in my opinion as it been since 2.1 the rewards are not worth the time investment. So I do not do not actively work on one. Too much time and too much gil on the novus stage to finish one for a weapon that is subpar/equal compared to a T12 weapon which takes alot less time to get.
