SO far it doesn't seem that bad. This is a relic not a toy. No one is forced to get a relic, this is for the players that not only live and breath XIV but also dream it. Making them easy to get will just ruins them. Even making them a lil easier would trash the system, as of now "Your tough if you have one." On the other hand, making them easier would just result in.. "Your gimp if you don't."
Earn one, feel that satisfaction, then come back here and tell me it wasn't worth that glory!
Oh yeah and good luck to those doing this quest!! You Can Do It!!
