Sometimes, you just want a good 'ol grind

I just finished the gathering relics. Fishing as always felt the worst, but was the easiest.

This leaves 8 indagator's offhands, 8 first step upgrade and 8 second step upgrade.

Think I'm going to go do a bit more of the manderville before coming back to this.

Yeah I didn't find fishing too hard. Just painful to watch scrips melt away on the !! fish.

Grats, Gemina! Onward to the relic grind!

Is it that bad? I remember enjoy the Skybuilder Fishing quest. Some of the most chill and pleasant time I had with the game last xpac. Is it anything like that? Or is it worse with the White Scrip consumption.

I honestly can't remember how the Skybuilder's quests went. I don't think I remember the DoL part being that bad. And Crystalline is not horrible. I finished the entire thing in one day. The two !! are more RNG so you're going to lose bait more often and it's special bait you buy with scrips. You can use a macro with Precision Hookset for the two ! fish and you won't lose any bait at all, so it balances out in a way.

Yup, that's the thing, it aint horrific, but it feels bad, heh. That generally is how fishing is, it isn't ever that bad, it just feels ... bad. Regular fishing feels good, but once you challenge yourself, the rough bits, the hard parts, don't feel good until it's done.

Some of the big fish are pretty bad. Fishing is fairly zen. Even this was just a bit painful for the time to get those scrips back. But nothing really horrible. Yet.

Thank you! No relic grind for me right now though. After grinding out so many scrips for two weeks I needed to jump over to something different to avoid burnout. Plus, I depleted all my resources for churning out collectables for white scrips. I shifted my focus back onto PvE and completing Sophia Unreal and Rubicante EX. However, I did start putting the new gear to work with gathering pure glioaethers and crafting the expert recipes so I can make a Smaller Otter Water Fountain for my house. I also crafted some i610 gear for my alt jobs that badly needed upgrades. Oh, and food too. I really enjoy crafting food recipes for some reason.

Funny thing about the scrip grinding though is that I was really enjoying gathering from node to node for collectables for gatherer purple scrips, but took the recommended spear fishing route in La Noscea for Earthbreak Aethersand to save some time. I like it so much that I went back to it to get the materia X's I needed for melds, and I still do it to cap those scrips out instead of Custom Deliveries which I always apply towards crafting scrips. What can I say? It's fun for me xD

Anywho, for those who are either doing this grind or pursuing the relic I do wish you guys good luck and happy grinding. I did do the DoL/DoH relic grind in ShB for my specialists and FSH, and will likely do the same for EW. Just a little later.
