For those of us Relic Hunters

Lore grind > crafter grind or materia grind. At least you can do other things while grinding for said lore. *PTSD from materia melding for the Zeta weapons.* Yeah, that's one step I never want to see again. The umbrite and crystal sand step is similar, but nowhere near as horrifying.

Or the light grind, only because to efficiently farm light, you needed to do specific trials for roughly 2 hours before it changed and you needed to figure out what the new efficient trial was. <-- Thank goodness this step also got two or three nerfs to it so it's stupidly easy and faster compared to what it was.
