Yoshi - Players who "Like" Challenges would ALSO like to obtain a Relic Weapon

[Reinha]

I think the point is that there is no middle ground. You have savage, or grinding outdated mind-numbing content. Like the OP suggested, I think adding in some extra options that didn't just cater to the lowest common denominator would be a great idea for the 200>210 stage of the Anima weapons. Sync'd coil and ARR ex primals? Great! Using Ravana or Bismarck tokens for an item just like Alex? Great! I don't know why people would be against this.

I will never understand you people so adamantly against providing a choice, an option to reward people who do harder content with more progress to their relic.

Raid participation in this patch cycle is low anyway. This would help remedy this known problem. Why not have that optional incentive to get better at the game make people want to do at least thordan ex, or go into savage if it could mean they could get a relic faster?

Why could the Relic not take on both forms of Midcore as well as Grindy content?

Why cant we have 2 paths? the less skilled approach or the raid approach?

Coil drops law or poetics depending on which turn you complete. Ravana and Bismarck Ex drop law and older Extremes drop poetics. There is already a midcore solution to your problem. You don't have to do a single Alex NM or hunt or daily quest or map.

Also I'm a bit surprised about so many people bringing up Hydra and Chimera. Did doing 2 trials once really make much of a difference in the grind from base relic to Zeta? Bear in mind, Garuda, Ifrit and Titan were not relic-exclusive content just like Alex NM isn't either.
