So the only way to progress our DoH/DoL tools will be Cosmic Exploration?

We did get a couple of slides, though. They're called Cosmic Tools and are unlocking at the same time as Cosmic Exploration. And the other slide said that players can increase their item level by progressing through missions. Missions were something featured with Cosmic Exploration, so those two pieces of information seem to strongly imply we'll progress them through this content.

Ssince the Cosmic Exploration items will go into a separate inventory (seems maybe it will be like Isleventory) this also seems to imply that unlike Diadem we won't be able to purchase necessary items. So it really does seem we won't be able to progress this except through Cosmic Exploration. I know I'm going to love CE. I empathize for anyone else it doesn't hit with who will be denied their relic unless they force themselves to go through it. That's design I will always oppose. These zones need to stand on their own feet and be engaging for what they are, not propped up by an unrelated highly desired item.
