The relic step isn't overly long, IMHO. I only just started grinding for a second and third relic a week ago and I already have a little under half the pieces I need for the second relic, and that's just doing my daily routine. It's really not that difficult of a step unless you let it drive you to distraction! You'll get there OP, chin up! o/ Course, I might just be a nut, since I was actually hoping the i210 step would be harder.
