Nerf "Coming Into Its Own"

Imagen being forced to do Diadem constantly for 3 hours at a time for a year. So no not fun ...

You think diadem isn't going to be the focus of the next step of anima? Abandoned content nobody cares about now that you can get way better gear from literally every other aspect of the gear treadmill?

Well it could have been the step for the 230 relic yet it wasn't. Besides, some materials you can gather from the Diadem are used for the 210 relic, aren't they?

Yes, this I can confirm.

Your comment has literally nothing to do with what i was referring to. Your not wrong tho.

It does, though. Diadem is functionally identical to Abyssea, which you had to grind for AGES to finish Magian trials. My body isn't prepared for the millstone of an XIV re-imagining of the Magian trials...

Sorry it's just you phrased it like a question, like i had made some sort of comment to the contrary, which kind of threw me. I honestly could not give three flying f**** what they do with relic, i'm not touching it with a barge pole.

Diadem is only accessible if you have a FC large enough to own an airship isn't it?

You can do "easy" or "normal" Diadem without a free company airship, but knowing SE they'll make it so you can only get the relic upgrade items from Diadem "hard" mode. The other options will be infinitely slower and more difficult to come by.

Hopefully "Coming into its own" remains the only step like this. That way it can serve as the "gateway" to the higher levels of anima while being the huge roadblock that makes it less appealing than raid gear. As it is the WAR lore weapon is already much easier to get and much better.

Not sure if trolli. My guess is that you have someone else HQ your stuff while you just do turn-in and just learn a rotation at 50. I've seen it take months to get all your crafters up there.

I made all of my own stuff. I did not have a single other person make me things to turn in, nor did I have a single person craft my gear for me. If it came out nq, I turned it in anyway. It's easier when you can just gather your own mats, although it does take more time. It's not that bad though, since it only takes about 10 minutes to gather a stack of ore or plants or whatever, and then just send the battle retainer out for things like yak milk and deepeye tears.

People always say how difficult it is to level crafters when it's really incredibly easy by gathering your own mats. Granted, it's not the most exciting thing to power level without leves, but it's doable. I brought my armorer to 50 without a single levequest right before heavensward in about a week solely by grinding ingots and such. I did buy the ores for my armorer, but still made a profit by selling the ingots. With levequests, I brought my alchemist to 50 from about 15ish in only 2 days making my own leve turn ins. With some patience, it's pretty easy to be more or less completely self sufficient besides specialist only recipes (which are evil).
