FFXIV is becoming a grind fest with little enjoyment.

I don't even understand how this became a raid / gear discussion. Not everything needs go be about crafting or gathering! Remember fighting your way through floors infested of demons to reach Shadow Lord in XI! This is the kind of fun I miss! I want to go with my buddies and kill some hours having fun, not playing XIV and doing chores day after day. Yoshi is a moron for putting up 800 Alexander run for creating Relic weapon. Where the hell is the fun in that?

I don't recall doing 800 alex runs as part of the quest requirements.

1 item per turn. 200 for your 20 items. All this multiplied by 4 because you need four stack of 20 items. Across 4 turns. So make the calculation now!

620 runs of Alexander if you include the tomes earned from each run (use them to skip Floor 3), but it's only one of the things you can do for Alexander as you have other options. Not like doing beast tribes for however long is any more fun than running Alex a few hundred times though.

20 law per run, 680 law per item, so an additional item every 34 runs. That is, of course, if all you do is Alexander. This item then saves you 10 runs. I'm too lazy to do the calculation, but it's more along the lines of 660 or sth.

Personally, I have done about 50 Alex runs total for the relic and I only need about six more bones and the crafted stuff. I'm still disinclined to part with the arms and legs the crafters are trying to charge me >_>
