I finished mine awhile ago was it fun? No, it's not the grind I have an issue with it's the design and how they did it. We had ALL of HW that we could have been doing to get the relic weapon but instead they give it to us much later down the road and then the next step is just 5 weeks of LoTA/ST/WoD or grind the Esos (which you could do in a day tbh) the issue is it's one extreme to another. Some tips I can give for the grind is if you're doing Alex Gordias:

- Do only floors 1 and 4, 2 and 3 are not worth it as they're the longest
- Poetics and allied seals are your friends here they are probably the most precious resource out of the whole grind
-Beast Tribe dailies are optional but they help with the grind by switching it up don't neglect them!

I know this is off topic but the next relic grind i'm dreading as well since it's basically Alexandrite 3.3 why don't the developers see that this is just tedious and boring? Why couldn't they tie it in with Palace of the Dead? Or the new Map Dungeons? Surely i'm not the only one who sees the relic is more about how much gil we can shove down our throats with 500+ hours attached. It's kind of sad.
