Step 1 - Earn 25,000 seals and buy the key item "On the Properties of Beastmen"

Step 2 - Obtain Inferno Seal x3, Tremor Seal x3, Vortex Seal x3 from Rank 2 Hamlet (gold chest requiring 60K+ scores) [<-- Note: Random Number Generator. Blind Luck on getting drops for yourself (or getting Dark Matter).]
Thats the Deal of most Chest-Systems. Want it to be 100%? I dont want to. And i actually saw people getting 1 Seal in 1 run, while others got their first after 10 Runs. It is luck, yes.. but it can be done in a couple days.

Step 5 - Gather HQ mats and craft or buy Class-Only Weapons (preferably HQ) [<-- Note: Random Number Generator. Blind Luck on getting the HQ Materials from gathering, and even the Final Synth isn't a guaranteed 100% for most crafters, so you're rolling the dice.]
No.. There is no Random Number Generator on getting HQ-Mats. Its all about having the Gear to improve your HQ-Rate. Its simple. The Final Synth isnt 100%? Im pretty glad it isnt lol. With full HQ-Mats ( flawless counts as NQ tho ) you can actually get easy to around 50%+, which is a pretty big Number.

Step 6 - Double meld the gear with 2 Tier IV Materia of a specific Type as follows: [<-- Note: Random Number Generator. Blind Luck on getting roll for Double Melding this already painful synth.]
There are TONS of people allready which got Double-Melded Class-Weapons, so it cant be that bad, no?

Step 8 - Gather 3 Materials from 6th Chest available at end of AV and CC Run
Items: Miser's Mythril (Aurum Vale), Alumina Salts (Cutter's Cry) [<-- Note: Random Number Generator. Blind Luck on getting drops for yourself (or getting Dark Matter).]
So.. Step 8.. Since i see a lot people are at Step 8.. so what was the Point about the 7 Step's before and HOW BAD, AND TIMECONSUMING they are? Patch is out a 7 days and people are on Step 8, if i could choose i would make the whole Progress even slower.

At this Rate and assuming that the whole Progress we can make now is like 25% of the whole Questline, then 4 Weeks to get a Relic is way to fast. nuff said.
