Anima Weapons. Putting things into perspective.

[Berethos]

I got my i210 relic weapon in about six weeks. That was just logging in and doing a couple roulettes and beastman quests.

It's really not bad at all. But I can see how it would be bad if you were determined to grind the hell out of it and push for tomes beyond roulette bonuses.

Don't forget that if you don't have the beast tribe quests already at rank 3, you're only getting 2 extra (now, it was one extra) every 6 days, instead of at least 4 extra every 5 days. That, and the crafting step can vary significantly in difficulty to complete based on server and circumstance.

That said, our perceptional perceptions of how easy or difficult that step is doesn't change that it was designed as it was due to a situation that no longer exists, and should be better tailored to the current situation.
