Relic weapons for Stormblood?

[kattzkitti]

Crafting, Gathering, Hunts, side quests, Ixion Farming, Foxy farming, Off-job leveling + gearing, treasure maps, farming for minions...Maybe it's too slow for people who play a lot, but I only get to play for 2 hours a day, not even every day so I am grateful for a slower pace since my to-do list is already quite long. Just another perspective to consider...

Stop trying to do everything all at once, and maybe you'll find yourself not having these problems.

On-topic, they really should have released the first stage of 4.x's version of relic/anima in 4.0. There's no real point to delaying it.

What problems? All I was trying to say is that "too late" and "too early" are subjective and based on what you want, how often you play etc.

It was that late back in HW too. And I agree, HW was pretty badly done for Relic quests...I much preferred ARR's, save for the Animus step (the books were absolute hell).

The reason why it was late and also badly done for the first step was that was when they took a 2 week break, so things were a bit behind.

I must be drinking the kool-aid then if you think the rest of HW was badly done. The crystal farming was easy, you didn't need your weapon or be in that job, you were even allowed to skip the first step if you had a relic in the past.

The crafting part and item turn in was probably the only step that was a bit much. The only reason Umbrite became an issue was due to using too much tomes. You either spent it on getting crafting mats for gear or using it for the weapon....and only became more of an issue if you had alts that needed the tomes.


The parts that did require you to go in with your weapon were easily cheesed by then, like A1s, or unsyncing half the content for the first step of the relic. For the rest of the stuff synced - if you couldn't do it for the weapon you're trying to create imo, you shouldn't have been in that job to being with

Come on SE at least release some stages with every patch. It really is a pain waiting for relics and some of us love doing them. That or give us a hint if we need to collect items and such -.- so we can start gathering them.
