OH GOD NO...

Please make a separate relic weapon and quest line for Shadowbringers. Some people only went to Eureka because no alternative was given.

Arent the alternatives Tome, raid, primal EX and crafted weapons tho?

No. The tome weapon isn't a long term goal, raids+primals require skill and crafting is non-battle content that takes gil. The relic quest and Eureka are easy and grindy ways to get weapons and the former type of content was discontinued. I would like it to return.

A relic quest is a reason for casuals to stay subscribed during those quiet months between patches, something to work towards every time they log in. Tome weapons take 11 dungeon runs and primal weapons take 10 kills so they are not that kind of content. The lack of a relic quest is why I've recently unsubbed for a longer period of time than ever before. Now I'm doing an older relic until my sub runs out again.

Yeah this is my major problem as well. I've been playing this game long enough that most of my long term goals are accomplished and the relic quests of old used to give me a reason to log in every day and poke around at something. Without it, I kinda just log in, knock out the 10 minutes of daily chores, and then afk in my house while I play something else and keep an eye out for someone to need help with something fun in game. Usually the relics could suck up a solid month of my time but Eureka is done in the span of a long weekend.

After reading several of these "Eureka is bad" threads, I've been left wondering why people want their relic in the first place. Your post sort of provides an answer to this, even though i dont really understand it. People want a weapon without having to run content, to then do what with the weapon? I know I'm strictly doing the Relic for 3 jobs just for the glam, but its not why im subbed or anything.
