How easy do you think the final Anima step will be in 3.55?

[JunseiKei]

Being realistic, it is only5 item levels Won't change too much.

Not about the ilevels so much as bringing the weapon damage up to the same as the savage raid, plus your customized stats weighing in. Some classes' relic were already BiS.

Funny enough, when the i270 step was released, I had told people this wasn't the final step. I had been told I was out of my mind. I really wish I had taken bets lol.

I can understand why people would think so. The weapon got a new appearance and a name. It felt like it really could've been the end.
Now I wonder if the weapon will get yet another appearance and name, or what will happen.

It won't get a new appearance, just made to be dyeable/new color scheme similar to what they did for Zeta

Actually that was the biggest clue it wasn't finished -- the fact the i270 anima is not dyeable

[Ama_Hamada]

really? How much you wanna bet just be what they did at level 50?

Once you complete requirements, Yoshi will have to personally OK its delivery on a per-person basis, but this can be bypassed by pre-ordering Stormblood.

For me, I had been going off the fact that the weapon damage still wasn't the same. Relic has always been behind in terms of current raid weapon, but still always catches up at some point. Unless you're a raider, your only option for a weapon that will be on par with those raid weapons [in the end] is the relic. It literally makes no sense for SE to unbar everything else (armor and accessory ungrades and eventually weapons whose damage is still under raid's weapon) but still leave only one weapon option when Yoshida favors fair weather players and allowing players to play catch-up.

The step before zeta was dye-able; it was nexus and below that weren't dye-able. The zeta also gained a glow, which is already present in this weapon. Would be rather silly to simply just add a step to make the weapon dye-able as well as increase the stats, but, eh.

light farming

That's this step now, as well as being around the same amount of light needed. Roughly.

Umbrites take a while to farm, probably won't get Nerf any time soon. Besides with daily runs, tails book rewards, Sprout bonus, it isn't as bad as the second to last stage were depending on game play, your lucky to do a rune a day. Pretty much Light grind for Heavensward and that oen should be address first. Almost done with my second wep. 3 more runes... cough..must go on. That and while doing that I'm getting umbrites.

The light stage is a cake walk compared to the umbrite stage. I just completed my first weapon and it took about 5 hours over 2 days to complete the light runes. It took over 4 days straight to grind out umbrites.

EDIT: And that's not including the 30+ umbrites I had already gathered.

The last step after light farming in ARR was the mahatmas right? Those were a final mini-light farm that didn't take long according to what I heard from a friend that did the relic back then. Not sure if that will be the case or if it will be another dungeon crawl.

None Alex runs or with Alex runs? Going into almost a week for my DRK and still short 3 runes.
