For those who don`t get the problem with red scrips...

This stuff with crafting and gathering makes me wonder what BS they are going to come up with for relic 2.0, its going to be some massive gated thing I bet.

Remember Alexandrite?

Relic 2.0 will require 100 Alexandrite Melds, all using Grade 4 Materia, with a 75% success rate. Failure consumes both the Alexandrite and Materia. And the only way to get Alexandrite is via a daily quest to run an Expert Roulette which requires 400 Law (5 expert dungeons) to start.

The next step will be released in a patch 75 days after the patch which introduces Relic 2.0, so you can have EXTRA incentive to grind out those last 25 set of 400 Law!

Don't be silly it will require grade 5 materia with a 66% chance and 2 alex per attempt.
You will also need to have the relevant DoH at 60 to perform the melds and be a specialist! May or may not require a red script item as well. >_>

That would be easy.

2.0 Relic requiered a 1 star weapon to be crafted to start the quest. (champion`s lance for example for the gae bolg). I predict next steps into a new relic will include a similar base weapon + our old relic if anything, and i expect said weapon to be 2 stars, requiering quatities of the red scrips materials, literally putting the new relic out of the reach of most people since anything that uses red scrips materials is automatically +50 mill in costs. Good thing this is all made for casual players, imagine if this was for hardcores.

As it stands, and probably will keep being, high end raiding (savage) is kinda the most casual stuff to make on this game. Time wise, you just need to find a good party (hard part) and then just keep working for a few days to start progressing xD
