My feedback on the method of obtaining relics in Endwalker

[Heroman3003]

Personally, I'd like them tied to the new Field Operation. But a fair compromise would be to do it like Bozja where people can choose to do it in the Field Operation or by farming boring old content like Crystal Tower and leves.

I think the difference compared to Bozja should be that it is slightly more efficient to do it in the Field Operation, but if someone is determined enough to do it via old content then they can.

The problem in Bozja was that the drops were RNG whereas doing old content it was guaranteed, which didn't make logical sense if the goal was to make the new content enticing.

Main issue with hard-tying relics to the Expedition zones and progression in them is aparent. It becomes very dead in next expansion. I'd rather have it other way around, relic completely unrelated to expedition zone and progression of it being its own, but expedition zone instead being the optional way to get the relic pieces. That way we won't have another Eureka where content is basically dead in earlier zones, or Bozja where the step thats the worst to do (DR) is also step thats the worst to do outside of it (Horrendously low dropchance from palace, just why).

I’m not sure how people can argue field content isn’t designed for longevity when you can literally go into both field content zones now and be able to do everything in them that you could do in them day 1

Hell both zones are more active than most of the content EW introduced, if field content isn’t an example of content that’s been correctly evergreened that’s not in a roulette I literally cannot think of an example of something that is

Well, if you're lucky with timezone availability and/or are on a particularly populated DC, perhaps. But in time I have available to play, on my DC? Anemos and Pagos are absolutely dead, and BSF is lucky to have more than 4 people present at all.
