The REAL reason that Anima sucks

[RiceisNice]

The first relic step in 2.0 was indefinitely better than this one. Instead of having an interesting plot about the weapon that's being forged and it's identity behind it, all we get slammed face-first is a grind on old content with no backstory to the weapon we're creating. Emphasis on old content when they added poetics, allied seals and 2.0 dungeons and beast tribes as a way to work toward it as well.

I just dont get it why SE must kill ninja so badly... those weapon stats suck they are the same as awoken det/ss but with higher versions

if A4S daggers have Crit/det.. why cant they do smilar weapons with reverse stats Det/Crit more Det then Crit it would be acceptable but EVEN MORE Skill Speed is just killer

With eso gear we still have SS at 700 and they want to add even more SS to that....so either they chop 50% of TP on all skills or ninja will bleed out way too fast.... maybe they should already allow Goad to be used on ourselfs to help with the TP unbalance


Im doing the relic only becouse I hope that we will be able to choice the stats for ourselfs like how it was with previous relic becouse the current one is not acceptable... since most chara have crit/det on stats but only 4 are suffering from SS (pala,dragoon, ninja, mechanist)

But im sure that after the grind phase of Alexander normal... I will never again do those...im getting sick of those

As we all (hopefully) know by now is that Anima is the biggest grind that we have in the relic chain, essentially taking the Atma step, a boatload of dungeons, and the Zodiac step on crack, and smashing them into one long relic quest, which understandably has overwhelmed a lot of people, but I think if you to imagine if this had come out in 3.05 rather than 3.15, it starts to become a little more bearable.

It sound as if that is about step 1 and 2
You can do them within 4 days

I hate how the i210 become Omnilex again for SCH

I guess I'll stay with Elements Awoken until... the relic looks good again :/

I haven't found the anima to be that bad. Sure the last step takes ages but the 'atma' step seems far more forgiving than the old atma quest pre nerf and the dungeon quest is probably the easiest and quickest relic step ever. For the last one I'm just taking my time. Just from the stuff I usually do daily I've racked up about 16/80. If I have my ilvl 210 by 3.2, which seems likely, I'll be stepping into the next patch with the a good weapon.

But also an outdated weapon sadly with the new tombstones in 3.2 and no updates to the relic until 3.3 or close too it.

Next relic quest in 3.25

And the current graveyards don't need new tombstones ^^

Relic came that late because it is not supposed make content easier clear as long it is relevant. You are supposed to progress first 2 weeks with ilvl 190 weapon, then with ilvl 200 weapon until 3.1, then ilvl 205. If you have still not beaten A4S you can progress the raid with ilvl 210 weapon after 3.15. You can think old relic weapon was same ilvl as titan hard ilvl 80. You can think first relic quest was beating ravana 1 - 10x then you get your ilvl 190 weapon. You needed 3 week of mythologies update your relic lvl 90. You can think you need farm 3 week of eso in HW and update your ravana weapon for ilvl 200. After that you needed do atma step and animus step if you wanted it to be better than t5 weapon. Pattern is almost same than in old relic quest.

the loud QQing minority are at it again! o7

we appreciate your opinion but nobody is forcing you to grind the relics so please move along. thank you.

[Riardon]

Nobody is forcing this weapon on you. You can skip and go for something else. I personally find it cool and already got more than half of the materials without even trying hard. (Had 2 Zetas though so I skipped the 1st stage). It seems hard when you see the list of what you must do. I got a shock in the benging but its not that terrible.
