EW Relic Grind is just a streamlined version of ARR/HW Grind

[Striker44]

So you point you one example out of 9 and that example is also probably the least efficient ways to gain causality tomestones and has no actual connection to being required for the relic, yeah real convincing argument you have there

A relic whos step asked you to go do all 12 paths of mount rokkon sounds a hell of a lot more interesting than “get tomes however you want” because the latter doesn’t encourage people to interact with variant and fill the queues, like you know what the relics are supposed to do, the idiots ilvl cheesing crystal tower or ifrit hard don’t need any more fodder

Gotta love when someone's "retort" to that argument is already answered...by the original point itself lol. I'll re-quote for amusement's sake:

You can still make a relic grind if you so choose to do so in the current way its setup - you just have to have absolute basic self control to do it now that Square's authoritative 'you must do it this way' voice is gone.

There's nothing stopping you from making a chunk of the grind doing all 12 paths of the new Variant Dungeon. By the way, none of the relic quests have ever had anything more than a completely arbitrary "connection" to a relic. In Bozja, I'm up to the step where you need 15 "Raw Emotions", which can be sensibly obtained from DR...or any random Level 70 Dungeon or HOH, neither of which have anything whatsoever to do with the relic and could have just as easily been replaced with literally any other content.

So you point you one example out of 9 and that example is also probably the least efficient ways to gain causality tomestones

This feels puerile and sad as an "argument." You seem to be completely ignoring the actual point, perhaps because it destroys your attempt at an "argument." It actually makes her point even stronger, as you're acknowledging there are a large number of ways you can effectively create your own relic grind steps. You just have those options now instead of being forced to do one or two very specific types of content over and over for each relic you want.
