    Maybe not harder to get, but perhaps a lot less relying on luck, and focusing more on the amount of time it takes. I'd like that same difficulty to be there, but the double-melds and such, I just think those were filler. lol

    I think what yoshi was reffering to was the way people will farm mythrils and salts in excess so that they ultimately end up getting there second / third relics just a couple of days after completeing there first because they can skip huge chunks of the quests the next times through.

    He should also realize that getting a relic in a fast time is mainly based on your luck in double melding or how much funds you have to spend on someone elses luck and not much more. Everything else takes skill, but can be done quickly after that. There needs to be more objective based parts of the relic quest to make it actually take a more set amount of time, and not some POS imbalanced RNG sink in it that makes it take as long as it takes to get the melded weapon, which is... random.

    If your right that's not that big of a deal.
