1 - Earn 25,000 seals and buy the key item (Acceptable/Makes sense/takes "effort")


2 - Obtain Inferno Seal x3, Tremor Seal x3, Vortex Seal x3 from Rank 2 Hamlet (gold chest requiring 60K+ scores) (Hey! people are not doing Hamlet because the drop rates are too low! lets include hamlet into the relic quests!) - RNG event, the usual unlikable nonsense that people complain about because it rewards the luck. Unacceptable!


3 - Get a class weapon. (Uh oh! classes are unpopular now that jobs are in games! lets add class spesific junk! UH OH! that didn't help at all since jobs are STILL better than classes! lets add the useless weapons into the relic quest!) Alright... this isn't bad... you either farm gil, materials or whatever and get one of those weapons. Acceptable challenge.



4 - Double meld two Tier IV. More RNG... I think SE did this to punish us for complaining about the materia system.
Bad bad bad.


5 - Kill chief NM of one specified Stronghold. A challenge! been so long since I've seen one of these! Good.

8 - Gather 3 Materials from 6th Chest available at end of AV and CC. More RNG!!! Enough of this!

What is this bullsh*t?!
