The problem I have with relic weapons

[DrWho2010]

you probably would have like the ARR/HW relic grind then instead of this. but as grinds got more grindy leading up to Eureka, the pendulum has now swung way the other way because the devs wanted to make this one easier intentionally.

just have to wait and see what the 6.x relic series will look like.

That's actually why I created this conversation. ARR was a hard no once it came to fate farming. I never did HW or SB. I know a lot of people like fate farming, so I don't want that to change - just more ways to get them aside from a 9-5 job after a 9-5 job. Doesnt have to be super easy or stupid - but more avenues.

By the time us casuals do get them, they are nothing more then glamour gear. Maybe we could upgrade them? I dunno.

ARR relic has an ATMA step that drops from fates (not 100% drop at release BTW) and then you needed to complete certain fates for the books (for those you had two options: wait for them to spawn by themself or complete certain fates and hope the one you needed spawned).

In any case, relics are just an excuse to keep any type of player busy. By default is going to be busywork, not any different from "level all classes" achievement. If you don't like what's requested simply stick to tome/crafted weapons and ignore it.

I generally do ignore them, SHB was rumored to be easy to get and yoshi mentioned something about making it easy to upgrade. So I went for it. Alas I wont do that again Hahahaha. I mean if it was dungeon farming - I would be down.
