The relics are not meant to be...easy.

I remember doing my DRG 50 relic, going 3 weeks without a single atma drop. i did my unidentified items in a few weeks for the 60 relic. you want to complain? it's 200 runs of every floor of Alexander Gordias 1-4, minus whatever Eso you spend on the two Token items you can buy in Idyllshire, plus 6 days on each of the beast tribes in HW to get enough tokens to get them - moogles excluded - (68 runs or something per item, 680/10 eso per run) and you can do the CT quest weekly to have your Aether Oils for your Hyper conductive stage now. Congratz by the way, SOME of us had to grind out 1800 eso per because there was no other way to get them. Some of us busted our butts for a good month to get our relics past that stage.

Now? now we have the latest stage, 300eso times...what? 80? less if we get lucky? I'm willing to put the time into my relic for this. I went to diadem. I collected my mats. I did my crafting (alt: buy mats, find crafter). I put in a lot of hours, yes...but will it be a reward in the end? Yes. a Relic isn't a handout. a Relic is something one works for. The whole point of it is that it will be Savage Tier equivalent without having to go raid and do savage content.
