Anima Weapons. Putting things into perspective.

[worldofneil]

OK. Why the hell hasn't this been eased with the addition of a new stage?

Because it's still too early for nerfing.

Anima weapons were only added in 3.15, we only just got 3.25 today. Don't expect to see any nerfing to the relic quests until at least 3.3, although probably 3.35+, and even then it'll likely only be the first stage (crystal gathering gets increased drop rate etc). I'm basing this on how they made the previous relic easier in stages, earliest stages first.

Relic are supposed to be long term things and although I only have 1 and a half Anima weapons myself, I know people with 4+ so it's really not that hard if you want to put the effort in. If you don't, just get the alternative weapons.

Edit: Just remembered they have actually made it slightly easier, because the crafted items are now no longer specialist only. You still need a level 60 crafter with decent gear to make the things, but at least one person can now make them all which means market board prices (on my server at least) have drastically fallen from what they were.
