Relic: Your progress on the Grind.

[UnstablePersonality]

Finished my 240 today. Looking forward to not doing all the roulettes everyday now.

This feel, I know it, I'm at 220/240 Soon...so very soon....

I've been on a break for the most part since I got my 240. Probably start with roulettes again for my WHM or Astro relic but this one is going to go slow.

Congrats to everyone who's completed it thus far! \o/

Kind of sad when the best part of finishing the relic is not having a shiny new weapon, but instead the joy of not having to grind tomes anymore.

That is why tell this day I still advocate the ideal of having the Relic/Anima/??? weapon quest to be more solo instanced focused with Solo Instances that are hard but they are designed to test the player's ability to perform their Job Role and Job's Gameplay Mechanics.

They could even slap in some Solo Boss fights against Iconic FF characters who are or would be considered the Player's Job as a means for cameo/easter egg and to put the Player up against a Hard Instanced Boss that they must handle themselves without the help of other players to either carry or recover from their own mistakes thus requiring them to know how to player their Job more vital with the solo boss battle different for each Job due to being different Characters.

Ya the player would probably die a lot and bang their head on the table but the the end reward is that Relic/Anime/??? weapon as proof you know how to your Job as said Job.

The Secret World did something like this when unlocking their Hardest Dungeon Difficulty with the Gatekeeper Solo Boss that tested the player's ability to perform their Job Role and I do believe such a method would make the Relic/Anima/??? more rewarding as well rather than simply being done with a long grind. Not to mention it can serve as a means to motivate players into improving their skills as the Relic/Anima/??? is the reward for proving the player can play their Job role properly.

So I got back into the game after a while off and I was reading up on the new Heavensward relic and I was wondering if it would be better to spend the time and money upgrading my old relic weapon (it's presently at Animus stage) to skip the 1st relic quest, or should I just go and farm the Luminous Crystals once I get the quest?

Farming the crystals doesn't take that long. Would be a waste to lose that weapon.

Doing last phase now, finally, got 4/80 and will work hard to obtain all 80 within 2 months

And I am glad it doesn't glow for once
