One relic quest chain at a time

[Zakalwe]

OK, so this wasn't too big a deal in the world of +1/Zenith, as once you learned Titan HM you could get through them in pretty good order on your various jobs.

But if the Zodiac process will take months, continuing on into 2.3, does this complicate playing more than one job per character, one of FF14's selling point?

On the plus side, there are other weapons out there you can get quicker.

The majority of the player base are the casual players. The minority would be those players who have all jobs at 50, each one with a relic+1 currently in hand that is tackling new content with an iron fist and beating it into submission the first day it comes out.

Even now getting the Relc+1 for another Job beyond your first is still very time consuming, forget Relic+2 for the moment.

You also have to remember that current end-game raid content has a lock-out. So if you are going into Coil Turns 6-9 as a Healer for example you will probably be spending your time trying to gear them as best you can in preparation for the new turns. This would be considered your "Main" job so to speak.

As for your "Alt"ernative jobs that aren't nearly as geared, and will not be partaking in end-game raid content there isn't as much of a need to be rushing into their relic+2 from that standpoint. I doubt there are many people prior to this patch who switched jobs for Coil unless their FC absolutely needed them to, so getting their relic+1 on other jobs was more of a secondary goal. Something you will eventually get around to when the time permits but its not on your immediate to-do list.

My Coil static actually does a fair amount of job switching. Sometimes two tanks are needed sometimes not. Sometimes a couple bards is nice to have, sometimes max DPS is preferred. Sometimes we want melee sometimes ranged. Really, being able to keep up on at least two jobs doesnt seem like too much to ask.

I'm gonna be honest, I'm a casual player and I don't even have a main or alts, I just have jobs I like to play. Somedays it's DRG, somedays it WHM, sometimes it's PLD. I don't judge my 'main' by my iLevel. That's irrelevant to how much I enjoy a job. So choosing a 'main' to focus on is...well, frustrating to say the least.

I think it's also frustrating even for players like me that may want to start them all and work on them in free-time. I'd rather be able to have them all open at once too.

I figured this is what the soldiery weapons are for. I mean they are even set up so that you can work towards your Soldiery weapon in 130 stone pieces at a time so you don't have to deny yourself getting 0 gear at all until the weapon is finished.

Apparently you can work on things in tandem, to a point. When it comes time to get to the book portion of the quest you will only be able to work on one book at a time, but since they cost 1500 myth a pop, you will only be buying them one at a time anyway. You can collect as many atma as you want and trade in multiple Zenith weapons.
