Feedback Regarding the Relic Upgrade Quest

[Siobahn]

Actually, its not that bad. lol. I do agree the rate is low, but I've already gotten 3 pieces, just stopping to do fates while I did the main quest.

Must be nice. I've done 134 fates in North Shroud so far and not the first atma.....

It's like those people who went 2-6 months without seeing the gear they want in Coil.

lol I definitely didn't ask for this but people kept complaining about relics so here you go. Meanwhile I think I'll focus on leviathan and then the masterworks weapon. Have fun with this.

How dare you bring logic and options into this thread!

To be honest, I don't know what the rest of the players want. As this guy pointed out:

Hi,
Sure they don't expect everybody to do it but there are people that want long grinding.
The upgrade is not mandatory and there are other weapons iLvL 100 to 115 that don't demand that amount of grinding.
It's a choice, I guess they allow people to have easily all Zenith relics but to get all zodiacs not that easy.

And I agree with him. Also...

3 hours huh? It was years before I got my first MVP card in Ragnarok!

I never got my Ghostring/Golden Thief Bug Card!!! ;_;

I mained scholar after it was released and always felt GTB should burn D:<
But I never got my own. It hurts more that I got Atros. The art is awesome but.. but!! C'mon!

Now those were a real grind. Super camped bosses, spawning once in a million years, with.. what was it? .01% drop rate?

As far as FATEs go, I'm not a huge fan of the way they work or grinding them or anything. Don't think that. However, in ALL honesty it turns into potayto-potahto after a while.

Grinding a regular mob, while I enjoy that giving them additional purpose, is just as menial of a task as grinding a FATE. You kill 1000 monsters, you grind 15-20 fates. The exception is that it's easier to have a huge group of people doing fates (less limited on monsters) and you can do other things between fates depending on how you go about it.

Time sinks are time sinks. If they were absurdly difficult (like Ragnarok, in our posts as examples) people would flip a brick. And that is definitely not that fun and unfitting for this particular case. But what else will you have? Something that is applicable for most people to eventually gain, is not in a dungeon (because face it, that is just as awful. pewpew boss down. CRAP it didn't drop), will not be restricted to trying once a week, and will not be burned out in the first day of the patch. There are other things, and they could still happen, but a lot of it is very similar in the long run. Make a social thing out of it or anything else you can to make the best of it.

GTB card was way too OP for something dropped from the easiest boss. "Ohai, sorry, but here's a card that literally shuts down your entire class so I can lol at you running away" I remember solo'ing it on my wizard. Never got the card to drop though, yea cards had a .01% drop rate, ended up winning it from one of those albums.

nice to see a fellow ragnarok players

Well for organized group, T4 farming is 20 mytho and 10 sol for 7 minutes (doubt you can go much lower than this with the loading times and cs to skip, 6 might be reachable). So about 180 mytho per hour. You have 4 weeks (before 2.25) to do 4 installement, so need to do one per week. About 8 hours of grind per week, if you only used that; since you will be farming dungeons for sol and stuff, and doing primals or what have you, a 3 to 4 hours run per week is all you will need. It's not that bad.

Obviously if you want to get your 7 relic upgraded or something silly, have fun.

Yeah... Saw that screenshot... Which only said FATEs, Dungeons, Enemies and Leves, with no real details...

Its only the first 4 installement. In 2.25 5 others are coming. They seem to be exclusive at the time, so we can imagine they will expand on other stuff. Most likely they want you to experiment a bit of everything to get the weapon fully upgraded. 5 other kind of stuff... Hmm let's see, CT, first coil, primals ?
