Poetics at Level 70

[Tridus]

A previous post mentioned using the tomestones to buy shells, which then are used to buy soil. Where do u spend the shells to get soil? And said soil can then directly be sold on the AH? Just a question as I have no idea how this works

You want to buy unidentifiable ore. Not shells. Ore is used to buy grade 3 thanalan topsoil from Bertana in Idyllshire, under the "Uncanny Knickknacks" menu. Shells are used for grade 3 shroud topsoil, which doesn't sell nearly as well because it's used much less often.

[Faeon]

Yup I buy the shroud, so I can plant to gather shards, as it hields 100 shards if you use shroud, though thanalan is the best bet to make some gil as it is used for cross breeding or whatever it is called.

I do not mind the grind at all. Also, teh shinies. About how many tomestones are needed for one relic? Im currently capped (again).

Let's see if you need the tomes alone hmmm

for the Bone,seeds,ore,and shells 1500 for a set of 10 so 6000 for the this phase. ( can get off treasure maps , beastman quest ) items needed for trade with these can be crafted / purchased / leve / desinth / various options I use Airship items faster in my opinion. Being I really have no use for company seals and trade items from raids for items for crafting for anima.

For oils if your not doing crystal tower 350 for each so 1750

Singing cluster (50) if not doing the daily or weekly quest for them 40 each so 2000

Umbrite 75 each you need 80 ( 60 if RNG is nice to you ) of them 6000 , you will need to get crystal sand. I just use airships and craft items.

For light farming if your doing raids for HW it's about 3 of them for one rune x10 so about 30 raid runs to complete that. ( Ark /Diablos raid ) Depedning on server Alex is faster, lately haven't seen much though.

I forgot what the item was called you will 15 of them at 100 each so 1500. ( cheaper than company seals you need 4k for 1 )

and a bottle of special ink 500.

So around 17750

Im assuming that by a set of 10 you mean for all 10 relics..?

I would only do it for the tank classes and DRG as i only collect everything for the tank classes (personal preference) and have a major hard on for DRG gear.

so the info is helpful, but a little over the top

If you plan on doing relics older, can always start purchasing things you will need. I've been capped on poetics for quite some time now. I only use them for the books for the ARR relics, and those are 100 per book.

A set of 10 each Seed / ore/ shells/ bone that is for each relic

The formula I gave you is how many you need to complete just one relic. Check out my profile on loadstone if you like. .... I'm to the point were I want to complete all....must finish them ...got to get them all...soooo close. -.- I'm bored... My goal is to complete them before the next relic phase...

I see. So i would multiply that by 4 for myself. Thanks!

Yep, ARR Relics are cool too. I have the ones that I want. You input is greatly appreciated.

Best of luck with that...my goal is to have all ARR and HW relics done before they release the next expansion. Currently at books for the ARR ones(8/10 to go), and only have MCH that I need to FATE farm for in HW ones(some ARR ones need to be converted for my HW ones, but done BLM,PLD,DRK,DRG,AST for HW Lux already).

I also plan on working on my RDM, DRK, and AST relics in that order when the SB ones become available.

THX so for all of the Zodiac saga are done for me, only need 5 more animas hopefully today that will be 4 more to go. Most are in the light farming phase and already have umbrites and crystal sand for those as well :P Should be close -.-
