So who's fearing what they have in store for us Anima-wise?

[VirusChris]

Oh, I remember doing that. Never heard it called "Mythflox" before though. But I liked how relatively easy and quick that dungeon was. True I do like some challenging dungeons, but I like how relax it was farming for the Tomes during that time.

I'm fine with a grind - that's what I've agreed to with all this relic madness over the years

But I really need it to be 230+, with the amount of time, effort and money the anima took - having it outclassed by a simple Lore weapon would hurt. A lot.

Especially when some of the Lore weapons have more desirable stats than their Anima counterparts.

[Kaurie]

It's always going to be a grind. It forces people into content that they aren't doing for people who are still doing it

They need a balance for this though. It needs to be not bad enough of a grind that people take it on, in addition to it being enough of a grind to populate the stuff. Either that or the reward needs to be niiiice.

[VirusChris]

Honestly I feel like they dropped the ball this time around for the Relic.

What would happen if it's either ilvl230 or 235 and its stats are only on par with the Lore Weapons. I agree with Kaurie, they need to find a balance with the Relics. Any reason why they aren't trying something similar to the FFXI Relics or what they did for the first part of the Zodiac Brave Relic?

I'm caught up so regardless of what it is I may still do it. I just really hope it doesn't involve hunting, I can not stand it and even worse is hearing all the crying that comes with it. Books I guess I'll be okay with, least this time I did a Tank instead of a DPS so Dungeons won't be an agonizing part of it.

[YISUG]

this step grind should be something worth like choosing the stats we want
i really dont like the drg relic stats at all >.< stopped using it after 3.2 cuz the tome weapon is much better
and even look at how easy it is now to get a 210 weapon
a 40 min or so void ark run got me a better weapon than my relic

and no more crafts plz T.T

[Spawnie]

I will gladly continue the next phase so long as there is no crafting, gathering, or materia involved

your siggy lmao thats gold :P

on topic.. bet it will have somethin to do with materia at some point.. just has to with how easy they made gettin 4's last patch

On the upside if it is materia, the weekly void ark drop can be traded for Tier 5 can't it? I only looked for a brief moment but not 100%

Knowing relics, it would be at least 50. Weekly VA would mean nothing, instead it would be a way to bring back farming the flash in the pan that was Diadem.

Doubt it will be i240 cause that pushes into raid area too fast. I am hoping for about 3 steps starting easier and going up in grind from there. ie, get the quest, i215, do a bunch of things that take time(1 week ish) i225 and last the grind going to i235. Makes it above the i230 lore weapon we can start to get in 8 days but below the i240 upgrade. Nicely balanced for grind between lore and raid until patch 3.3. Patch 3.3 would be the next step to i245 which was what they did back in 2.xx series around 2.3x with the nexus grind finishing before 2.4 when fcob came out and scob was unlocked. Letting you start fcob with a t9 i115 or relic nexus i115 weapon.
In the end I hope there is some content in 3.25 to do like the start of relic in 2.0 with Hydra, Chimera, Ifrit, Garuda and Titan.
