Anima weapons - Last step

[DragonSlayer45]

so basically you have more than one way to get what you need?

So to clarify, one only needs to select one of those four options? Can one mix and match?

You can mix and match. The ones listed are for if you choose to strictly follow one path for the last step.

I made my forum account just to post a thread about the final step, but it seems like you got that covered.

So anyhow, I'm seriously dumbfounded as to why they couldn't implement this during 3.0's launch. Currently I have 9 jobs at 60, all of which have been geared with at least i190 Alexander normal stuff. What incentive is there for a player like me to go through with this grind again? Even through gearing 9 jobs(Closer to 6 since some share equipment)I felt that I've done enough Alex runs to last me a lifetime. I reckon that most people will share my sentiment on that last bit. The best part is that I'm doing the Machinist relic. Det/SkS LeL. -10/8 on the motivation scale. Would rather server transfer for Thordan's gun.

I'm halfway done with the dungeons. I don't think I'll be touching the last step as I'll settle for the i200 Ferdinand Awoken solely for glamour. The amount of ridiculous grinding in this game trumps that of F2P games for nearly no reward. Imagine my disappointment as I had just resubbed too. I really don't intend to pay a monthly fee for recycled content. Bad ones at that too. If there's no housing plots made available on my server during Christmas, I'm literally quitting this game. Cause with the Anima grind out the window(I had planned to make a relic for MCH, DRK and WHM) housing is all I have left to look forward to. Good luck to everyone looking to finish this.

That last step is probably what's going to send a friend of mine back into quit-zone, after he just got back into the game.

Thanks SE.

Maybe I can convince him to do Thordan EX instead for his highest weapon -n-

sigh.... why can't they just make us beat the HM and EX primals >_>
this is just.... cruel and unusual punishment.
with SS on top for DRG

It is mostly a time grind, there is plenty of other things to do in the meantime while working on this, none of this is stuff that has to be done, everyone talks as if this is a must to get farther in the story, of course its going to take a long time for those who don't grind, but the main story still goes on, and really what did everyone expect? Its SE lol

Well, Law times and Beast tribes here I come.

[Evangela]

too much works for a downgraded and ugly weapon.

[silentwindfr]

800 alex run is simply idiot... even if you mix match stuff the quantity of item needed for a i210 weapon are simply insane. not even in the previous relic we did reach this level of stupid grind.

[Orchidias]

This is horrible, and a very terrible step. For people like me who only play a limited amount but have been subbed for a long time out of loyalty, it's enough to make me quit entirely and stop giving S-E any money whatsoever. The sheer ridiculousness of this grind is already making my friends and bf want to quit, and if it weren't for the fact that FFXIV is the only place I can see some friends, I'd have quit a long time ago. Bad form, S-E.

So assuming you go the beast tribe quest path - each tribe (other than Vanu) only offers 3 quests a day that reward the currency. Thus - you must do quests 3 quests from all 4 tribes for 87 days. I believe some of those may involve Fates and such. ha...this sucks.
