What would you like to see/have for Relics in SB?

[Enla]

I don't care what they add, just so long as I can /finally/ dye the glow color for the final step. It's what's stopped me from investing time in some relics at this point because I find the glow to be hideous.

Well the anima 210 step required materials that were only obtainable in diadem at the time during its release, pretty much a given one of the steps is going to have Eureka involved in some way. Just hope its not as awful as diadem was for people that don't like crafting or gathering.

Items for 210 Anima weren't from Diadem.

I don't remember anything being only obtained through Diadem, and I did my DRG relic as soon as it was available to do.

210 had tokens obtained from beast tribe, tomestones, treasure hunts, and I believe Allied Seals.

The Unidentifiable ones, yeah. I was just confused about the Diadem only...since I don't recall anything for the HW relics being obtainable through Diadem at all. It was all FATEs/crafting/market board/tomestones/hunts/handing in random-annoying-to-get stuff(some of it at least was annoying/a pain to get if RNG hated you)/dungeon farming.

You didn't have to do diadem because you could purchase the completed items from marketboard but a lot of the materials required to make them came from diadem.

Edit- The items were Adamantite Francesca, Titanium Alloy Mirror, Dispelling Arrow, and Kingcake. One of the things you needed to make the adamantite francesca was pterodactyl straps which were made from pterodactyls that could only be fished up in diadem.

My only hope is a final step that isn't super plain looking with some particle effect. Seriously disappointing how the anima changed and for several weapons just turned boring looking, like NIN and WAR's Lux.

1. No crafting/gathering step unless specialists are NOT required. (And I say that as a person with every crafter and gatherer leveled with friends to cover all possible specializations).

2. If there is a FATE step, no rng. Make it a set amount you have to run in any zone of your choice. (Yes I know lots of people would crowd the lower level zones, that is NOT a negative or an argument against it).

3. I’d like to exclude Gerolt and Rowena for once, I’d want it to be an ancient treasure that we awaken and grows more powerful rather than having someone forge a new weapon.

Can’t edit on mobile:

4. As far as their appearance goes, I don’t know what to expect I just want the ability to dye the glow on it.

5. Stick with the stat allocation similar to the 340 step, I loved being able to do that. However, there should be 0 cost to respeccing the stats. We should be able to change the stats whenever we want at no cost.

NIN's Relic stopped at "Spurs of the Thorn Prince"

I want the relic be the Strongest weapon in the game. I don't care about the "Raider should have the best weapon because they are cool and they deserve it!!". I want to have the maximum level possible in the current tier from beginning (with the grinding of course, not immediately), instead of wait 1 patch later. That means if netxt tier maximum weapon level is 375 (probably), have a relic at 375 from the very launch of 3.2. I'm very tired of the temporal raiders privileges (and I am raider) with equipment. So yes, I'm throwing a stone to my own roof, but I love the relics, and I prefer have it instead the current raid weapon.

Also, let us customize stats from the very beginning instead of wait till later steps.

I don't care much about the grinding, that's the purpose to balance with raid weapons. But both SHOULD have the same level.

This. 100%.

It doesn't really make sense to allow ARR or HW zones to augment a SB relic. Keep it specific to SB zones, if there is a FATE step.

I'd like to see a full set of armor and weapon. Maybe not accessories, but left side for sure. Give it set bonuses, such that when combined, is on par with top tier raid gear. Allow stat customization from the beginning, making it BiS because of it, but also taking longer to acquire than raid gear.
