Feedback Regarding the Relic Upgrade Quest

[Worm]

There is good RNG and there is bad RNG.

I saw someone else saying this and I just don't agree. There's nothing wrong with a low droprate item, especially when it's very easy to farm. All I see are a bunch of people who beat themselves up on a grind they really didn't have to do. How many times have you quit and resubbed at this point? It just seems like this is a personal philosophy for the lot of you a quiet hyperbolic life as it were.

I liked the original relic quest where you did dhorme chimera, hydra and the primals.

The original relic quest was in 1.0 and it was a more fun grind imo. You started with hamlets which were instances. One item that everyone needed dropped each run if certain conditions were met. Most ppl ran with a tank, two healers, dps, crafters and gatherers. You had to spam that alot because, if i remember right, you needed 15 total items. And only one item per run dropped, if conditions were met.

Then you ran dungeon speed runs, killed a bunch of beastmen for coins and finally killed ifrit X.

I don't mind this relic quest too much. It is similar and much less demanding for other players to help you.

Oh well I meant the one we have now where you get the unfinished relic and "upgrade" it to the relic through bosses xD
And I wouldn't mind it, sounds like fun *-* I find even the low level dungeons more fun than FATEs anyways. The time spent doesn't bother me much I just want it to be entertaining. Took me 3 weeks to get through the primals for example and they were fun xD
except Titan.
I will never like Titan >.>
I joined in 2.1 though so I have no idea what 1.0 was like lawl

Yeah it'd be nice if dropped Bronze-Gold, hell even if getting a different level would increase the drop rate. Doesn't even have to be that much.
Bronze .05-1.%
Silver - 1%-1.5%
Gold - 1.5%-2%

Or something.

Patch 2.25 will focus on additions and adjustments to the Wolves' Den, as well as a new system involving materia.

I know some of our players have been looking forward to the continuation of the Zodiac Weapons quests that I mentioned in the recent letter LIVE, but the release of these new quests has been postponed. Our reasoning for this decision is, in brief:
Many players still have yet to obtain an Animus weapon.
We would like to incorporate feedback regarding the difficulty of the Zodiac Weapon quests.
We are working to increase the number of locations where materials for the next upgrade can be obtained.
I apologize for the delay, but those of you looking to obtain the power of "Novus" will be able to do so in patch 2.28, scheduled to release in May.

Where Animus upgrades focused heavily on the accumulation of Allagan tomestones of mythology, Novus upgrades will revolve around the use of sphere scrolls. We are working to ensure that the required materials can be obtained through various means, so we ask that you wait just a little longer until everything is properly balanced.

Finally a reply on the subject.. A few weeks late. But it's here.

Very good news that they delay the 2nd upgrade and that they will make adjustments to their system. But what about the first upgrade from Zenith to Animus? I still would like to do it for more than one class but if the Atma and rare FATE parts remain how they are now, this is most likely never going to happen. Not sure if they only reconsider the upgrade from Animus to Novus or if the entire quest line will be rebalanced, starting from Zenith.

That tells me that it's for existing and future quests...

It's ok, no one ever really pays attention to Yoshi-P, they've learned only to complain on reaction.

Oh you mean like most political threads on the internet
